Im an atheist now

Why do we even have a universe, stars, planets? Why do we have anything? You don't have a clue and neither does anyone else, but there it all is so yes we can have somethings nobody can explain.....right?

A huge ball of fire of just hanging there, the Earth just hanging out in space......why? Think about just how amazing that really is.

You might have some need to put limits, restrictions on things, I don't.

I agree that it's amazing, awesome and mind boggling. I also agree with that there's a possibility some being put things into motion.

I disagree that there needs to be an answer to why, that there needs to be a specific purpose. While I agree there's a possibility of a divine being, I disagree that belief in that being should be the default position

Most people simply want to have something to be able to come to when things are rough. They don't want this.."well, can ya prove it, huh huh huh????, where is the evidence, huh huh huh????" Why anyone would even play that...?

Old lady just lost her husband, she NEEDS...."he's in a better place now". Not..."can ya prove it, where that evidence?"

Little kids dog dies, it is really the best time...."no nope, no doogie heaven, he's just dead"

no we can;'t prove the existance of a Superior Being, but we need one.....ok? Why fight it when it's real obvious most people just don;'t care about proof?

There ya are in a foxhole surrounded by the bad guys, your buddy is ....God, I need a favor....that sure beats the out of...we are goners, aren't we?

Why is there a supreme being?

Avante is too stupid to realize he is putting a limit on things.

[Avante]

All it takes is tell this re you will be ignoring him because he bores ya and is a moron. And here he comes, hahahahha~~~~~ Notice all the freak does here is Avante? Not unlike a couple others.

Avanteitist is strong, once you have it, you are like a junkie, ya gotta have that fix.

And back to crickets

I think it's a rational way to avoid believing in silly things like Zeus, fairies, and unicorns

Old lady just lost her husband, she NEEDS...."he's in a better place now". Not..."can ya prove it, where that evidence?"

I completely understand that it'scomforting . What I'm saying is that it doesn't make it true. If an old woman's husband was diagnosed with cancer, it would be comforting to believe there is a cure for cancer. That doesn't make it true.

Little kids dog dies, it is really the best time...."no nope, no doogie heaven, he's just dead"

See above. I don't doubt the comforting effect. I doubt the accuracy

no we can;'t prove the existance of a Superior Being, but we need one.....ok? Why fight it when it's real obvious most people just don;'t care about proof?

We disagree whether or not we "need" a supreme being. Really really wanting it to be true doesn't make it true. It becomes a faith based belief.

There ya are in a foxhole surrounded by the bad guys, your buddy is ....God, I need a favor....that sure beats the out of...we are goners, aren't we?

You keep making this same point. I'm sure belief in a supreme being and afterlife us comforting. What I'm saying is really wishing something is true doesn't make it true

Does it really matter if it's true ot not? If a persons life is better because they think it's true, what else really matters? And since nobody can prove there isn't a God.................................

Does it matter if it's true? Yeah I think so. If I knew it was true, I'd have no trouble believing it. That's the whole point.

Does it make people feel better? Absolutely. Like I said earlier in the thread, this country promises the freedom to practice religion. I'm personally not a fan, but recognize people can believe what they want. Where I take a stand is when people try to inject their religious views into government and classrooms

So this country would be better off without...IN GOD WE TRUST...? Kids would be better off with no hope/faith in anything, really?

Where is that country without a God?

To play this silly....where is the evidence.......nay~~~~

How does religion in any form and anywhere effect you? Would we ever have someone like you as our president?

ONE NATION UNDER GOD.

[clambake]

you better hope there's not a god.

religion affects everybody if its part of our education system and government. this is why the first amendment was designed to not allow that to happen

under god was added to the pledge of allegiance in 1954

you always tell me to be open minded about other peoples beliefs, yet you're the only one who can't accept that any view besides your own can be legitimate

Religion has never effected my life at all, how has it effected yours? How would your life be any different without any religions ever existing?

God or no God it wouldn't have mattered even a little bit in my life. But it effected yours, how?

I'll ask AGAIN.

What country has no religion? How come tribes lost in the jungles of Africa have a God? How come all the American indians had their Gods?

WHO...doesn't have their Gods, well?

Some years ago they found a lost tribe on one of those Phillipine islands, they were totally lost from civilization. Yep, they worshipped a God....................why?

How would your life be any worst off with a God in it, well?

[Blake]

There are primitive atheist tribes out there, dummy.
