Steve Harvey takes an L (along with most of you people)

[Go figure...]

lets say for arguments sake that there was no god, but we used the bible's laws to live by, the 10 commandments for example,

if we REALLY followed those rules 100% just for the sake of doign right for our society, do u think we'd be as fucked as we are today?

instead we violate each and every one, each and every day, and people are complainin about why shit is so fucked up and why god let it be this way.

Quick definition of "science":

Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") is an enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the world.

^^Key terminology here; "knowledge" and "testable explanations".

To blindly accept a scientific theory or claim--without questioning, testing, or examining it--is not scientific at all. Aristotle believed that organisms appeared spontaneously from decaying organic materials; if this theory was never challenged, it would be taught as true today.

However, this serves as an example of science fitting the above definition. Aristotle knew organisms (such as flies) often emerged from decaying organic materials (such as feces or carrion), he then theorized the testable explanation of "spontaneous generation". If properly tested, this theory would fail of course. But that's how the scientific process works.

So it's not that people simply "believe in science", but that they believe in that which is known (knowledge) and that which can/has been tested (testable explanations).

The differs greatly from the belief in deities; which cannot be tested and subjectively exists within people's minds or within books written by people.

So no, they are not the same.

Best of all, atheism doesn't require acceptance/knowledge of any scientific theories.

what do u think happens to u when u die?

what do u think happens to u when u die?

My corpse's cells will die, then it will bloat up from the gases released by the microorganisms within. Assuming my corpse is discovered in a timely manner, it will be taken to the morgue before further decay occurs.

and then nothingness?

 

[fiat_money]

and then nothingness?

No, the whether they autopsy or cremate my corpse, it will still exist in some form.

what im tryna ask is, do u think the death of ur body/brain is the end of ur conscience or non-physical being?

that when u die, u go blank, and cease to be anything more than a corpse or whatever remains physically

I'll assume you mean "consciousness". And since consciousness is a noumenon produced by the brain, once the brain is dead and no longer functioning, there will be no further consciousness.

Similar to how there was no consciousness prior to the brain being alive and functioning.

There better be a heaven. Cause honestly life is so hard.

what do u think is harder, living while carelessly sinning and doing as u please

or tryin to live by the word of God?

ppl think religion is for the weak who need to feel secure, but falling into ur temptations and willfully doing things that u know u shouldnt (whether u believe in God or not) is weak.

discipline takes the greatest strength

Whats so special about the 10 commandments? Those are basic morals. I don't need it to be a religious text to know that it is basic human socialized law.

And...And...you can't even get your most "respected" religious leaders to live by the 10 commandments. So miss me with that.

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

No i would not say that, i would say God created time and space which is why he exists outside of time (he is infinite) hence, was never created.

Coincidentally, you're close to the reason why the universe doesn't need to be created. Before the Big Bang, time did not exist. Time and space came into being with the Big Bang. So nothing could have been before that, since before did not exist.

n logically, nothing can be created by nothing/something can not be created by nothing. everything is created by something, unless im missin sumthin?? (LOL)

Again, you're saying that this is true for everything except God. And why do you excuse God from this rule? No particular reason. You're just superstitious.

as for evolving into highly social animals that need each other, nice try but without God our morality is subjective.

1. Morality doesn't need to be objective to be morality.

2. Even with God, morality is still subjective. It's just that the subject making the decision is a deity. Might makes right on a cosmic scale, as I've already said. Fascism.

3. You really don't need a fairy tale to understand that murder is a bad thing to do. And while we're on the subject of basic rules every society has, howcome the Bible doesn't have a problem with rape, abuse of women, abuse of children, etc. etc.? What a shitty book.

if an asteroid hit us and half the world was left,

If half the planet were dissolved, nothing would survive. Shit, you're dumb as a bag of bricks.

as an atheist, it would now not be morally wrong for u to kill another man and his family to feed your own.

1. I already explained why you are wrong about this.

2. The Bible explicitly says killing other people to take care of your own is just fine, as long as you worked out a contract with God, like the Hebrews and their genocides in the "promised land."

by morals instilled by God, slavery is wrong

Have you read your own fucking book? The Bible says slavery is just fine. The only rule is that you cannot beat your slave to death. The punishment for that? A fine.

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

You believe in science like others believe in God.

False.

Science is a matter of collecting evidence and using logic to develop ideas. God is a superstition that you people believe in simply on faith, as you readily admit all the time.

And the guy in the wheel chair changed his athiest views months ago. I read it on yahoo news.

False.

Stephen Hawking is still an atheist. His latest book is a thorough explanation of how the universe exists without any need for a god to start it.

KTULU does all the work before I can even get here. Finding several Earthlike planets in the past month swag

Automatically downloading pics>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Getting mad at niggas for automatically downloading pics

I automatically downloaded 763 more pics since I made that post.

I'm downloading shit right now.

Why would I be mad cause you a loser? The fact you even know how to "automatically download" thousands of pics shows how much you lauced, you should be mad at yoself.

he doesn't speak much but his pics are hilarious

and he quotes himself, classic

The only hilarious post he made was the one where he admitted that he downloaded 40,630 pics. And quotin himself is gay, only a loser would do that...

Back to topic...

"If you dont believe in GOD...Wheres your moral compass..."

Stupid Motherfucker...

How about beign a good person...For the sake of beign good...

Not because you fear that when you die... a spooky Jew with a six-pack and a magical beared space man gona take into cloud city...

GTFOH with your Jewish Fairy tales...

Another atheist he made catch feelins.

Science killed thousands during WWII Atomic bomb. Science developed AIDS ( Supposily) Science helped developed those planes.

Best of all, atheism doesn't require knowledge.

c/s

There better be a heaven. Cause honestly life is so hard.

I hope there's reincarnation so I can come back as a nigga wit the baddest bitch on the planet as my sister who I'm fuckin all day erry day.

 

[KTULU IS BACK]

Science can give you the tools to heal or kill.

Religion can give normal people reasons to commit horrific crimes they could not commit without faith in superstition.

"I'm a good person.... I don't want to hurt people.... But my religious teacher told me that God commands us to kill the infidels, so I will do it."

Real talk.

Yes science is a collect of evidence by man. So u have to trust man that their findings are correct. You have faith that scientist understands and know what they are talking about. And Hawking said he don't believe his findings may not be correct and that maybe there is a God. Look it up.

 

[nex gin]

So if there is intelligent life on other planets, does that mean that they are all automatically going to hell because they didn't get their copy of the King James Earth bible and believe that Earth Jesus died for their alien sins?

smh at the little green men being fucked in the game and not even knowing it.

our most "respected" religious leaders are human aka prone to sin, otherwise they would be perfect, which ONLY God can be. so u missed urself.
