If It Were Proven God Does Not Exist, Would You Change The Way You Lead Your Life? - Nubblies.net Forums

Ugly Bastard · 08-14-2003, 06:21 PM

Well, would you?

This was an interesting topic for a thread I stole from another message board, and I think it could spawn good conversation.

I would not. (Nothing too drastic anyway).

I would probably stop going to church, etc. But as far as my personality, I do not think it would change that much. That's really all I have to say, I'm hoping someone else has some more insight on this, go ahead.

15? That's it, I'd vouch diferently than that. I'd make a killing buying unused churches.

Yeah, well maybe a year ago it would have changed me, but now; I dont see much of a change in the way I live my life.

fat_retard · 08-14-2003, 08:32 PM

I'd probably just swear less or something but I would not change much of what I do now.

StDx · 08-14-2003, 09:38 PM

it wouldn't chage a goddamn thing...
wait...
I'd probably quit using the term 'goddamn'.

Titan · 08-14-2003, 10:07 PM

Yeah, tha'd be a "no". I'm quite satisfied with my morphovulation of life.

Fruit-
Good luck
A.) Getting 15 wives
2.) Keeping 15 wives
and
D.) Monkey swastika

So, you would swear less if you knew there was no God? Huh...

the_butcher · 08-15-2003, 01:38 AM

Hmm...that's one hell of a question...which I don't want to answer right now. I'll add what I think later...but damn...the title threw me offguard.

Dr. Seuss · 08-15-2003, 02:24 AM

I wouldn't change my life at all. I already live my life as though God doesn't exist.

Pliedes · 08-15-2003, 03:27 AM

How much would I change? A decent amount, but it'd more be a shift mentally. I'd have to rethink my entire life.

I'll just leave it at that.

Saint DH · 08-15-2003, 02:56 PM

Yeah I don't think I'd change much either.

silver and cold · 08-15-2003, 07:42 PM

I really wouldn't change much, I'm pretty happy with the way I am now.

getupkids · 08-15-2003, 08:23 PM

I wouldn't really change much either. I would stop going to church obviously, but other than that..... notta thing.

Schroeder · 08-15-2003, 09:57 PM

I'd probably kill more people, swear more often, commit more adultery, and treat my neighbor much worse than myself. Life would still be about the same, though, right?

Titan · 08-15-2003, 10:46 PM

Why would you do that?

(aside from the "swearing", obviously it's ridiculous to label that as "bad")

silver and cold · 08-16-2003, 01:47 AM

Ok, a small question..
Why were "curse" word invented, if your not supposed to say them?
I've wondered that for a while.

Is it ridiculous to label swearing as bad? From the few times I've been around you, Titan, you seem to be a major supporter of swear words. Are swear words more important than other words? Can you not get your point across without using them?
Are they really necessary?

Just some thoughts

Titan · 08-16-2003, 04:37 AM

No they're not necessary my friend.

Neither are the letters c, x, or j, but they're a part of the english langauge.

The part that you're missing Schroet, is that they are no worse than normal words. "Fuck" means "have sex". You can say "have sex" on TV but not "fuck". I can say "butt", I can't say "ass", I can say "poop", I can't say "shit".

They're just words. Why is one grouping of letters worse than another? It's like if I told you, "It's okay to say 34, but you can't say 15 + 19," or "It's appropriate to say .75 but not 3/4, that's vulgar!" Fucking ridiculous. Nnnnnnngotit?

silver and cold · 08-16-2003, 05:23 PM

I guess..its dumb..

FUCK
BITCH
DAMN
CUNT
SHIT
TWAT
ASS
SLUT
you see...those words are perfectly fine.

Schroeder · 08-16-2003, 11:55 PM

Ok, Titan, then why don't you use them in front of small children? Or at a job interview? Or in church? I mean, they are just normal words, right?

What makes one grouping of letters worse than others is beyond me but that is just how it is. As long as you've got a non-vulgar alternative, why not use it? You can make the same point, and people will see you in a better light.

Titan · 08-17-2003, 12:06 AM

You are such a fucking moron. "People will see you in a better light"? That's their choice, what I'm telling you is that there is no reason that one is vulgar and one isn't. Just because it's not socially acceptable doesn't mean it logically makes sense you freaking nut. Use your god-damned brain. Don't just pretend to think; actually do it. Would I use them in front of small children? Yes, hopefully someday they'll be smarter than you and understand that the social insecurities that are strapped along with them are completely ridiculous. Would I use them in a job interview? Not if the person who was interviewing me was stupid like you and didn't realize that there is no difference between the word "shit" and "poop" except the letters. Would I use it in church? Yes, hopefully if their is a god he's intelligent enough to realize that I shouldn't be offended by the words "ass" or "toosh".

"What makes on grouping of letters worse than others is beyond me but that is just how it is."

You have a precious thing, it's called a brain, use it. Think for yourself.

I don't know why there are starving people in other countries, but that is just how it is.

Yeah, great philosophy dipshit.

Dr. Seuss · 08-17-2003, 12:34 AM

Being offended by just about any word is lame. The only way a 'cuss word' should be considered bad is if the person meant it in a vulgar way. When people say, "I beat the shit out of the octopus' left tentacle," and when people say, "I beat that goddamn nigger's ass because he was black," are two different things. I would probably say the first sentence in front of just about anyone, but I would never say the second sentence just because it is vulgar. There's a difference, obviously, and it doesn't take any intelligence to figure out what it is. Your tone is everything, too. It's obvious if you're joking or being serious (i would hope).

In conclusion, swearing is not wrong and people need to get the fuck over it. All words can be used in a vulgar way, so rather than censor a few words, why not censor the whole English language? Oh hey! There's a thought! I wouldn't say vulgar things in front of a child, an interview, or anything in a serious tone. That's just the way I am. I tend to joke about things like that a lot, but that's beside the point. Fuck society's senseless views on 'bad words'. It's ridiculous.

Schroeder · 08-17-2003, 12:51 AM

For your sake, you'd better hope there isn't a god. In my opinion, God is existent and he realizes that you could have said something nicer, but you chose not to, and will suffer accordingly.

Also, you use my philosophy everyday. You have to. It's a fail-safe philosophy. You can't explain everything in life. You can't answer every question. You can't comprehend every topic. Eventually, you just learn to deal with it because you are sure not capable of changing anything about it.

Now, I don't know everything. In fact, I don't know much at all. I do know, however, that I will leave this world a better place than I found it and that I won't need to smoke, drink, do drugs, or curse to do it.

I've been thinking my whole life. I will do the best I can, that's all anyone can expect of me.

You still didn't answer my question.

Dr. Seuss · 08-17-2003, 01:48 AM

And what makes the word vulgar? If shit means the same thing as poop, does that make poop vulgar? Am I not allowed to talk about bathroom things anymore? I just repeated what Titan said pretty much, so now you've had your question answered twice.

I think if there is a god, he will realize that a word is just a word, and it only means something bad if you truely mean it in a vulgar way.

So none of us are capable of changing anything? Wow, what a philosophy! If everyone lived by your philosophy, the world would be much different than it is today. In fact, our society wouldn't have changed at all.

No, we can't comprehend every topic in this universe, but I sure as hell am going to try to figure out some. This topic is not one that I find 'unanswerable' anyway.
