How fucking old are you anyway? This is the kind of shit I would expect out of a 14 year old.

i'm 14? you're the one that believes in an imaginary guy in the sky.

do you also believe in santa claus, the easter bunny, the tooth fairy and the boogey man?

It was true.

Have you read any of my posts in this thread? Are you capable of understanding any of them? The probability that life spontaneously came into existence (in the absence a CAUSAL event) is so astronomically low that any no rationally thinking person can continue to seriously consider evolution as a viable theory of the origin of life.

Sir Fredrick Hoyle has calculated the probability of such an event to be on par with that of a strong wind sweeping through a junkyard and randomly assembling the pieces of junk there in into a working 747 jet. No sane person would believe that a 747 jet could be assembled in this way. Yet thousands of otherwise intelligent scientists continue to believe that life spontaneously appeared without a cause.

If life did not spontaneously appear out of nowhere, then how did we get here? The only reasonable alternative is that we were created by a creator. Are you so stupid that you can't see the logic in my argument?

First of all Boobmaster, calm down.

Secondly, why is atheism so threatening to you? I have no absolute proof that there are no gods, as you seem to require of us atheists. But the circumstantial evidence is overwhelming. There are something like 10,000 gods in human mythology (including Christianity and Islam), and yet not one single piece of verifiable evidence left by any one of them at any time. Doesn't that seem strange to you? Don't you think that a supreme being would be obvious; I mean how does such a powerful thing manage to stay hidden, and why would they? Where's the talking burning bushes? The giant footprints? If there is a supreme being why doesn't he just appear and put an end to the doubt? Isn't the total lack of evidence of the existence of any gods telling?

I have no proof that there are no gods, but I am fairly confident in my belief that they are bullshit. I read something a Christian once wrote that went like this: "I would rather be a Christian and then discover on my death that I was wrong and there really was no God, than be an atheist and discover on my death that I was wrong and there was a God and I have to burn in hell forever." That's exactly why I AM an atheist; I would rather risk burning in hell than be manipulated and bullied into turning off my brain and believing something for which there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever.

There are no gods. But post here if you come across any evidence, any at all.

So women being created from a rib, and stories of a talking snake with a cursed apple sounds more logical?

But there IS evidence, of an indirect nature (see my earlier posts). Direct evidence is impossible given the nature of the object of study. God is said in the bible to be 'spirit'. 'Spirit' is something which is undetectable by the senses. As a result, it is not an object which can be successfully studied by science. That is a far cry from saying it does not exist.

Humans are capable of hearing sounds within a specific frequency range. There are sounds which we cannot hear because they occur at higher/lower frequencies than what we are capable of processing.

Have you ever used a dog whistle? You blow on it but nothing seems to come out (i.e., you can hear anything). Dogs, however, will react to the whistle because they hear a sound. That sound is on a frequency higher than what humans can process.

We currently don't have the technology to 'discover' so-called spirits. This DOES NOT MEAN that they don't exist. Why is it so hard for you to following my reasoning?

The difference here is that these frequencies that we can't hear can easily be measured.

Where do I say that the bible should be taken literally, word for word. I don't believe that it was ment to be taken literally. The authors use conventional literary techniques (e.g., metaphor, etc.) to make points which I believe imply deeper truths.

have you been saved yet?

Until we developed the technology to measure such sounds, would you have been justified in stating that they do not exist? You would have been wrong. How do you KNOW that we will not one day have the technology to measure 'spirits'?

FUCK OFF, NEWB! :321GFY

It's not hard at all for me to follow your reasoning, because it's quite simple.

I appreciate your admission that there is no "direct evidence" (what other kind is there?) of the existance of any god. Every day more and more people realize the same thing and more and more people identify themselves as atheists as a result.

Based on your post above, I have news for you, you don't believe in god, you believe in the idea of a god and that one might be known some day.

You are a moron! There is a difference between science and faith.

You must have been raised a Christian, because you have a lot of aggression in you. Deuteronomy 28:15-68

Nothing is more sinful than a Christian Pornographer.

If you don't believe in God, how can you believe in the concept of 'sin'?

Also, I think a Christian murderer would be more sinful than a Christian pornographer.

BOOBMASTER; how many times are you gonna preach the same old crap on this board?

You are beginning to sound like a broken record and you are starting to lose your entertainment value.

I wish you would hurry up and start that bloody adult program of yours so you could try to pretend to be all knowing about something else.

Oh BTW you don't have to reply I already know exactly what you are gonna say:

FUCK OFF NEWB:321GFY :321GFY :321GFY

:tongue:

You again?

The other reason I am an atheist is that gods seem to inspire so much nastiness in their believers...

God bless you Boobmaster for being such an effective ambassador of Jesus Christ. :stoned

This has been a very entertaining thread Dark Jedi. It's almost as entertaining as my 20 minute conversations with the old ladies who sell the Awake/Watchtower magazines on the street. They get so excited when I tell them Jesus was a pimp.
