I busted a nut after watching this video. Real talk.

[And Step]

Just as what BEAM said. You break down into ignorant tacky posts when pressured a bit in a debate. Nobody is even trying to give you a "Join Jehovah" pamphlet at your front door but yet you still get defensive. You are a sad individual who does not want to look past your own flawed philosophies. "Magical Space Jew"? Are you serious b?

Ktulu, as I said before. I know you. You are a person who is ashamed at your position in life and your decisions. You are terrified by the idea that there may be a God because then your sad existence would be judged...and Ktulu doesn't want that. You jump for joy so much when you "think" you can prove there is no God so much...uh oh...here is the kicker...

Essentially you have made a bubble so big in your life that "evidence of no God" is your GOD. You worship the notion.

By the way...you are a terrible representation of Atheism. To try to make fun of people's beliefs and show no respect because you despise the fact they have something that you don't shows alot about you...read my signature.

Off to see the Wizard...the wonderful wizard of Oz...lmao. I'm out for the moment.

Damn..............

Ms. Hepburn would not approve.

Of what, fam?

Now it's time for you to get re-engaged in this discussion.

Lurkers, you should quit bullshittin and get in on this one too.

 

[BEAM]

*Bump, for the sake of this being a pretty good thread...

Ya boi gets boring. All he does is talk about how theres "no evidence" all day everyday

 

[Punisher__]

BEAM - Did you watch the video?

What are your thoughts?

 

[Punisher__]

And yes, she was banging someone else's husband.

Ikr. That and name-calling. Pathetic really.

BEAM - Did you watch the video?

Yeah, but let me go back and watch it again just to give you the best response I can.

Be back in a sec.

In regards to what she was specifically addressing, I agree.

I believe in a sort of engrained sense of right and wrong and the impression that one leaves here, be it positive, should be one's primary focus coupled with the desire and joy to do for others.

She's on point, trust.

Now, personally, I do believe in a higher power, entirely void of what religion has built IT up to be.

Beyond setting things in motion, I don't believe much else of it.

But that's just me.

Can you elaborate when you say you believe in a higher power, entirely void of what religion has built it up to be?

Not trying to be dick-ish. Just curious.

I believe in intelligent design via an intelligent designer.

Do you think morality is self-evident...i.e, you can know the difference between doing something right and doing something wrong, while simultaneously denying the existence of a higher power?

I mean...I've heard people say that knowing the difference between good and evil comes from God because God is good and Satan is evil, or some shit like that.

Are these two mutually exclusive ideas?

Well first of all, one can deny anything, that doesn't mean much.

But I'm inclined to say that with emotion comes the discern-ability between right and wrong.

Distantly, you could co-relate a Higher Power with morality, but I'd tie it to emotion first.

some dumbass scientist who doesnt know anything about design explains exactly why there's no need for a "god" to explain why we exist

deal with this

 

[The Lonious Monk]

Either they're not Christians or they're struggling in their walk. Can't speak for all tho. People attack Christians, but im guessing everyone else with different religions or beliefs are always 100% faithfull to their teachings. That is why HE forgives because he knows we sin.

I have to disagree with this. I think it's simply the way people practice the religion. Everything is either about being blessed or going to heaven. That's pretty much every message in the church nowadays. You'll never hear a sermon that doesn't focus largely on what you'll get for doing the right thing. I'm not attacking Christianity. I in fact subscribe to Christ's teachings. I'm talking about the way it is practiced these days. Honestly Christianity is a great faith, but it has been tarnished for a long time by many of the practitioners.

 

[BOSS KTULU]

Christianity is a great faith

the idea that an innocent person has to be brutally tortured and murdered for crimes other people committed is a great faith?

 

[BEAM]

deal with this

Be back in an hour.

Where in the Bible did Jesus institute that law? You must have a different one than me because I didn't see that passage.

 

[BEAM]

deal with this

So...

Unless we are nothing now, how does his interpretation hold weight again?

And yes, i am asking you to demonstrate your own understanding of the material to which you hold so tightly for dear life.

jesus died on the cross for everybody else's sins, right?

thats the fuckin centerpiece of the whole book dummy

Unless we are nothing now, how does his interpretation hold weight again?

I'm confused about the meaning of the first half of your sentence.
