Are you ******* kidding me?Follow

Oppinions vary. It's equally likely that it exists as it doesn't.

He's a whacko.

No - he's been a whacko long before he was a lunatic. Of course it depends on what your definition of whacko is.

In my experience the people who get the most upset about religious issues are those who do not believe in them. I don't know why instead of shouting and saying mother#$#% a thousand times these people don't try and argue their point in a semi-sane state of mind, or simply ignore the issue all together.

When I saw this thread I was intrigued by the possibility of a genuine discussion, however that was quickly squashed before the first page was even done. To me, "Smash", you have done nothing but prove that you are an intelligent, immature and spiteful brat. Whenever anyone has posted any type of counter to your anti-religon argument, all you have managed to come up with is commenting on their grammar or resorting to some smart-*** comment. I would really like to believe that you could get a clue and maybe prove you are as smart as you obviously believe you are, but I don't think that is possible. In fact the only way I think you can prove that to me is just to shut the **** up.

Go buy a dictionary, then READ it. The entire POINT of a hypothetical situation is to consider something that is not logical or proven for the purpose of debate. You took a hypothetical situation and decided that I was arguing the situation not as a hypothetical but as a true statement. You JUMPED TO A FALSE CONCLUSION.



This IS the point of using a hypothetical situation.



You're exactly right, that's why I wasn't stupid enough to put forth a situation like that as a true statement, but rather as a hypothetical situation.



Please tell me you're Arabic, French, German, something besides a native english speaking person. As intelligent as you appear to be most of the time, I find it hard to believe that you're this clueless about the meaning of words contained in your own native language.

What I was referring to was one's MOTIVATION for believing in God, not the attitude one has towards those beliefs. Motivation....attitude, two completely different words, with completely different meanings, signifying completely different things. For the most part your motivation for doing something is completely independent of your attitude while doing it. If God really existed, do you think he would REALLY care what brought you to him if you were a good christian and really believed in him?

What do you think the motivation for all those people who go forward to get saved is??? They mostly do it so they can avoid getting tossed in that mythical lake of fire, or to enjoy the perks of heaven once they get to the afterlife. How is what I said ANY different from that? I just happened to put into words what most people just think about.



Try reading books from the major religions and tell me how much they really differ between each other as far as the way they tell you to act.

Even if I were making up my own religion, I believe that I would have just as much a chance of being right as any of the others, so that still puts my odds just at infinitely small.

If you were trying to insult me by calling me an atheist, let me assure you it's no insult at all. I believe in what has been proven, faith has little or no meaning to me, so obviously I don't believe in a religion that expouses faith as a major tenant.

For a couple of reasons. Firstly, it's impossible to argue something sanely with people who have clearly forgone any pretext of logic or standards of proof. Secondly, it's rather frustrating living in a world where most things are decided by a democratic process where the majority of the voters believe a man lived inside of a whale for a year.


No you weren't intrigued by the possibility of a genuine discussion, you were intrigued by a chance to take the moral highground and post about how silly everyone else was and ******* about self importnatly stating things that are obvious to an embryo.

*******!!! I don't know why you guys have to be rude when arguing...ah..ahhh. oh yeah...!!! Ahhhhh. I don't understand why you can't argue with some..oh yeah baby..here we goo.....civility!!!SPLOOGEE!!! Oh yeah..


Give me a fuc[/b]king break, junior. No one gives a sh[b]it that you were a hall monitor any more, move on to an adult level of discourse for Christ's sake.


No, you are incorrect. I have FIRST utterly destroyed their pathetic arguments to the point where one wonders how they were able to type them without laughing out loud, THEN I have made some smart *** comments.




I understand that someone such as you would be unable to conceptualize of just how astonishingly brilliant I actually am. It only makes sense. I wouldn't expect a dog to be able to diffrentiate between a human with Downs Syondrome and a Nobel Prize winner, he'd just know both were more intelligent than he was. The same applies here. It's litterally beyond your ability to grasp the level of my intelectual superiority relative to you. This is why I'm hapy to play on a level you stupid bastards can understand and insult your families. That way, at least you realize you're being insulted.

No? Nobody has a dikfor?

Usually because they get pounced on at a moment of weakness and desperation by some assmunch promising to solve all thier problems and relieve them of all burdens. Or because they've been indoctrinated since early childhood.

What if Patrician is right?

I mean if you're right and there is no Omnipotent Duck, no heaven or hell, well then being good or bad won't matter, everyone ends up back in the earth anyways.

BUT, if Patrician is right and there is an Omnipotent Duck, well then there's a BIG incentive to be good and believe in all this stuff. So if you're going to play the percentages, there's every reason to believe in the Omnipotent Duck, and no reason not too. I mean after all, if the atheists are right, then believing in an Omnipotent Duck won't have any bearing anyways.

In other words...you've got nothing to lose in the long run and everything to gain by being a Duckist so why not play the percentages?

Kind of makes you go WHAT A ******* RETARDED POST

Nothing more annoying than paying good money for a bag of chips and finding most of them smashed. Unless it's not having a dikfor. That sucks, too.

Wherever I go is a Lay factory.

'cause let me tell you, I gets layd!
