Are you claiming you believe in leprechauns , what else do the voices in your head tell you?
 
Quote from Free Thinker:

"The scientific method is merely a formal methodology concerning how to apply reason."

is this concept too difficult for you. do i have to dumb it down to first grade level so you can grasp it?

Quote from Opulence:

There's a law of man called social heredity. This is when parents and other people whom a child grows up around pass their views and beliefs on to their children, who's parents passed it on to them, and the cycle continues. Considering that most people who believe in god were practically forced into that belief at a very young age, it's difficult for them to break that belief, no matter how old they get. No matter how much logic, reason, etc. you hit them with, they'd never even take it into consideration. That's how embedded those beliefs are. So, it's pretty pointless to argue with that kind of person.

Good point. Sometimes religious faith is not just a question of lack of education but is instead one of indoctrination. Some folks can think independently for themselves and break away, others are more intellectually docile and follow right along, not wanting to rock the boat. Those intellectually docile folks are usually conservatives.

Right, and those who follow the pied pipers of liberal indoctrination
in college and beyond are supposedly "independent thinkers " :D :D :D :eek:

Don't be silly, leprechauns are behind the intelligent design of the universe and they are Jesus's uncles.
 
Quote from CaptainObvious:

"Does God exist?" is not a scientific question, therefore cannot be answered by science. Real scientists don't even try to answer that question with scientific research. It's the religion of Atheism which chooses to attempt to answer that question by using science. Silly boy's!

Wrong again. Science cannot ABSOLUTELY answer the question but it can deduce a probability, which is so close to zero as to be practically indistinguishable from zero. When people adhere to a belief for which there is not one iota of a shred of real evidence, it's pretty clear where the real problem lies .... Hint: it ain't with science, nor with the disbelievers.

Religion gives you the warm fuzzies. Good for you, but that doesn't mean you're living in the real world, silly boy. Go join the nerds at Comic Con; they get the warm fuzzies a lot from imaginary beings as well. :D
 
Quote from Opulence:

This is excellent news. I'd love to see the day where people aren't outcasts from society because they don't follow a religious system. There are some of us smart enough not to buy into that nonsense, and we should be penalized for that?

I dunno.

As a person in Allied Health, I have seen some strange stuff, more than once.

Yes, I have seen prayers for the terminally ill go unanswered by an entire church.

I have also seen people tell us goodbye, when there was no clinical evidence of death, and don't mean that they said goodbye and they died a month later either. I mean they said goodbye and they were gone the next day. Again, no clinical evidence of rapid decline.

So, I have to remain an agnostic. I have seen too much to be a believer, and too much to be an atheist.

Why do atheists always make this ridiculous claim.
They say there is no evidence of a Creator.
Bullshit.
