Well here's the thing. I don't have to subscribe or make any choice at all. Your own rationality was arguing 'everything has to be created by someone'. Now you're saying it doesn't?

My point is you were calling people dumb after making what is a pretty dumb statement yourself. Partial sentence or not, it wasn't taken out of context as it is the context. It is irrational, or if you prefer, dumb to say something is powerful enough when you've just said it can't be measured in...

The currency of religion is obviously hypocrisy. Matthew 6:24 You cannot serve both God and money. "God loves you but he needs money. He always needs money. He's all powerful all perfect all knowing and all wise but somehow, he just can't handle money." George Carlin

Nope, except the God concept does get very weird and creepy. Does it bother you to see comment against the sanctimonious preaching by this thread's OP? It is at least ironic if not downright hypocritical that the Bible, Corinthians, in this case, recommends people grow up, right? Imaginary...

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child and I had an imaginary friend, that would tell me what to think and what to do, 'He' would go everywhere with me, grant me wishes and so I reasoned like a child. When I grew up, I put the ways of childhood...

Luke may read like history but has no historicity. Thank you for the thread, which reminded me how full of hypocrisy Luke is and the basic way in which religious belief is such a gigantic failure of human reasoning.

QUOTE: Tsing Tao "I never said I was content. I constantly seek truth. But because I don't do it in the way you understand or appreciate, doesn't make it wrong. But neither does it make it right. How you seek truth is your own business , whether it stands up to separate inquiry or outside...

Indeed, only a story, but weird stories nevertheless able to entice belief in superstition to the point of psychosis. Creepy.

Resorting to insult only confirms your own intolerance and prejudices. But if that makes you feel better then good luck to you too, you'll need it. Have to say though, if nothing else it's ironic to be called an arrogant prick by someone being a prick arrogant enough to say they know what I...

Me too but that's a completely different point. The question I raised to your earlier apples and oranges comparison was a simple one. However I accept your cop out.

That is really not a difference between us as actually "I have no idea" how you could even suggest as you do here, that you can't tell whether the universe exists based on what you see here and now. In front of you. Then you follow with a statement that affirms what the universe is (big and...

It seems your whole argument depends on comparing the distinct universe which does exist with something that can only be imagined to exist, as if there were direct comparisons to draw . That is false equivalency. Surely you would accept that you, me, or anyone else on this forum can state and...

What did a real thing like the universe do before it existed against what did an imaginary or conceptual thing do before it existed. Isn't that a chalk and cheese question? The universe is defined as everything that exists anywhere, so it's reasonable to say whatever it was doing, was still the...

"The mind is the brain, the brain is made of atoms ,we know how atoms work. Evidence for an afterlife is that some ill-defined metaphysical substance, not subject to known laws of physics, interacts with the atoms which are our brains in ways that have thus far eluded every controlled...

I'm against any nation self-identifying as a religious state, whether it be Jewish, Islamic or Christian. Anyone with any sense can easily see how badly that works out. I'm for the wisdom of the founders that self-identified this country free from adopting any formal religious identity. In...

"Christian culture is an asset," "We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit" "We won’t compromise on the issue of the protection of Christian culture" "I pledge that I never will tie myself to parties who want to destroy Christianity" "The national Government sees in both...

I think it's reasonable to say there is no afterlife 'cause if there were one, load mouthed fundamentalist bigots like Jerry Falwell would have let us know of it by now.
