the God thread

[DisAsTerBot]

Because religion has caused many great things to happen as well. It is easily one of the most unifying forces on the planet as far as humans are concerned.

easily the most divisive as well

What's your theory again? "alternative design"?

It has more facts and real science support than Darwin a worthless theory that is only survived by hardcore kool-aid drinking idiots.

(and I mean that as a proper description not an insult)

I've got time right now for some fantasy/science fiction so lay it out for me.

You may have time but you lack mental capability an open mind and an adult way of responding.

No it doesn't. It's science fiction fantasy.

It's why you're afraid to spell it out.

Its not fear it's waiting for someone who really wants to know.

i talk in circles.

BlakeChumper what is your payoff?
Are you trying to amass *hits* to lead the SpursTalk krew?

[xellos88330]

What evidence?

The story here is that you made a claim but want me to do your work for you.

Once again you are only looking at the process and not the result.

You made the claim that believing in Santa was crazy and worthy of ridicule. I said it wasn't and pointed you in the direction to get the proof. Now that you have obviously done the research by saying you found things debunking it, you refuse to post the things debunked meaning that the articles I had already stated did in fact exist. You cannot debunk anything if there is nothing to debunk. Ergo, I do not need to prove anything because you have found it already. Because.... LOGIC!!!

[xellos88330]

cool, list some great things

Puritans and the New World. Construction of Pyramids, Shangri-La, Ghandi overcoming the British, France overcoming the British, , the British themselves and us for that matter. If you notice, all of these things are located all across the globe and not confined into just one area and span many different religions.

[xellos88330]

Not all societies. There are primitive atheist tribes in the world right now doing just fine without a deity.

I actually find this kind of funny. We talk about society and religion hindering it and according to you the atheists are still stuck in their primitive huts.

Time to backpedal. :

I'm here for my own amusement. What's yours? Why the sock puppet, fabbs?

Who are you to say they're "stuck"? If they are content to stay where they are, why should they "advance"?

[ChumpDumper]

So at some point in time the glob of goo *evolved* a consciense.
RRrright.

and how did that happen?

This is good even before it starts.

Answer my question I directly asked you first.

This is good even before it starts.

You're moving the goalposts. Another logical fallacy.

I said I found articles that debunk your claim. If you want to see them, just ask.

I'm still waiting for yours.

[Blake]

Its not fear it's waiting for someone who really wants to know.

I really want to know. Really.

[Blake]

so going off your Avante style list, it looks to me that throughout history, religion has been a part of power struggles and control over the masses.

Great!

[Gay Robot]

oh neat. Someone put on a sock puppet

Is that what you call it when you jerk off into a tube sock? Can I watch? I'll even bring you a kid size ankle sock.

Who are you to say they're "stuck"? If they are content to stay where they are, why should they "advance"?

Weren't you the one talking about how religion slows progress, which implies that religion is the culprit. Yet the atheistic culture has even less progress thus proving my point even further. You can't make progress which is why you can't make a simple copy and paste. You hide rather than admit the truth. You want me to do it for you because you are alone and fear the unknown. You like your primitive tribes are doomed to be prisoners to your logic. We have 2 sides to our brain after all. I suggest you use them both. Think of it this way, why evolve two parts of the brain when only 1 should be necessary.

I'm referring to instances where people have wanted to advance in science and knowledge, but have been suppressed by religious nuts.

and societies can advance in more ways than just technology and science.

Shocking I know.

And some nice ad hominems you slid in there, btw

Didn't you ask me if you had made me cry? Nice hypocrisy. Ad hominem is only a defense mechanism for you because you obviously know by now how your viewpoints have completely derailed your entire argument to begin with.

Science and technology are absolutely critical to the advancement of society. Even your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather/mother the chimpanzee uses tools which is a form of early technology.

[mouse]

I really want to know. Really.

If that was really true you would have copied my quotes in the last 11 Evolution topics that I explained the definition of A.D.

I got really bored trying to somehow enlighten your poor misguided fraudulent beliefs with some simple common sense that a child could comprehend.

xellos88330 pulling out the smack bat that was spot on.

[Blake]

Didn't you ask me if you had made me cry? Nice hypocrisy.

You claimed I was insulting someone by saying believing in Bible god is ridiculous. I asked who. I asked if it was you.

If you think that's ad hominem, you don't understand exactly what ad hominem is.

Or you have very thin sensitive skin.

Ad hominem is only a defense mechanism for you because you obviously know by now how your viewpoints have completely derailed your entire argument to begin with.

my viewpoints have derailed my entire argument? What does that even mean?

What argument of mine are you referring to exactly?

Science and technology are absolutely critical to the advancement of society.

ok.

Religion/god isn't though.

It's ok, I know your stupid design theory is crap.

trolling

Blake,
take a break from your lame trolling and tell me what you think of the song Rock or Bust.

Never heard of it. Sounds lame, tbh.

[Blake]

OK found it and watched the video. Holy the average age of the audience looked at least 45.

Not a bad song, not a great catchy song either. Dude still sounds the same.

I love Jim Breuer doing his AC/DC impersonations in his stand up routine
