![]() Ahh the endless religion wars. God is God. Christianity and Buddhism and Islam and and Taoism - all of this - it's just different cultures with different takes on what God is. We cannot know what God is truly. We are dumb humans. Religion is something man came up with in an attempt to simplify something that cannot be simplified - and (of course) we fucked it up.
Think about this: God is not just as detailed in the Bible or the Koran or any other writing or belief. God is all of this. To most humans, God is two dimmensional. Like Christians look at one side of a technicolor ball and say "That is God! He's yellow in the top left, some orange on the bottom, a little swirl in the middle". A Muslim looks as that same exact ball, only from the opposite side, and he says "God has some blue and white swirls on the right, some pink and maroonish on the left, with some green on the bottom". But the things humans are too stupid to realize is; we're all describing the same ball. And that ball's full essense isn't totally captured by the descriptions of a person just looking at one side of it. Open your eyes and your mind. -Ugly Bastard |

Psychedelics are illegal not because a loving government is concerned that you may jump out of a third story window. Psychedelics are illegal because they dissolve opinion structures and culturally laid down models of behavior and information processing.

Whatever God is up there, I would certainly hope he has sense enough to judge a human life based on the person's character, not the religion they were born into. There are Buddhists and Hindus that live a better Christian life than some Christians and vice versa.</font>[/quote] Then why would you be afraid of living "as if there is no god and finding out there isn't?" Thats probably better than believing in a different God, or at least no worse, so enough with that faggy argument about "I'd rather believe in god and find out I'm wrong" [ May 03, 2005, 09:29 PM: Message edited by: Beebs ] | |

Also you argue that man cannot know what god is, then go on to tell us what god is, its a bit contradictory. God could absolutely be the vengeful god of the old testament, god could very well be the exact version of god in the Q'uran, it is no less plausible than this pussy ass watered down multiple faith god of yours. | |

</font>[/quote] No, I really don't think I am contradicting myself. A person who believes in the wrong god is still definitely better than not believing. Atheism is just a huge copout. To look around at the world around and just say that there is no higher being is just asinine. It's like trying something new. Better to try that something and be wrong than to just pussy out and not try at all. Take a side. Stand for something. | |

![]() What about when someone dies, and Christians say "God wanted him/her with him in heaven" or when something bad happens, Christians say "It's all in God's master plan"? Personally, I think that's a cop out, for people who can't deal with a simple fact of life: shit happens.
Also, Deists do believe in God, just in a much more rational way (imo) than Christians and other religions. |

![]() You've gotta be foot fucking me. You can't see how you're contradicting yourself? I'll do it more slowly this time.

An atheist says "I don't believe there is a god" how is that not "taking a side?" More importantly, why does taking a side matter, what if there is a god that says "I only like those who don't take sides, the rest are going to hell." | |||

![]() Why is it that when God is mentioned, people tend to get really mad? What is it about God that gets everyone riled up so much?
What I mean to say is.... I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to get angry and debate people who do believe in him. So why do people fight and fight to try to prove God doesn't exist? [ May 03, 2005, 10:15 PM: Message edited by: Calamity Jane ] |

![]() Fine, just do or believe in whatever you want. I am going to stick with going to church every Sunday, and being a good Catholic, and a better person. That's what works for me. Do whatever works for you.
And try to stick to debating, and not just immature name calling. [ May 03, 2005, 10:31 PM: Message edited by: Schroeder ] |

![]() The point was............
I'm pretty sure that the people who say God doesn't exist and will fight to the death to defend their beliefs: a) are so caught up in their own way of life and believe that if they let God enter the picture, they wouldn't have any fun anymore b) feel convicted but are too proud to admit that they need God in their lives c) just never gave Him a chance I'm pretty sure that we all know, deep down in our hearts that God exists, just some people choose to reject him for whatever reason.

a) they are so comfortable with their religion that gives them explanations for bad things happening in life, rather than having to deal with it on their own b) know deep down that some things in their religion don't make much sense, but once again, are comfortable with it so they create justifications as to why they don't make sense, such as "God has a plan that we can't even understand it is so complex" C)Were brought up that way, and will not open their mind to the possibility that you're going to rot in the ground for the rest of eternity after you die.
