A lot of agnostics might conclude that there is probably a God but mere humanity cannot hope to understand or talk to it. He just switched from atheism to agnosticism. What are you trying to say? The theories of Evolution and the Big Bang were founded on logic and observation, not on a book written by human beings that claims to be the word of God.

1) Why not? 2) Why does God let that happen? 3) But the Bible is the Word of God. 4) Err, okay? 5) But the Bible is the Word of God. 6) God interferes in everyone's lives every day and answers all of our prayers with one of three answers: yes, no, or maybe. It says inside the Bible, the Word of God, that God will effect our lives all the time. 7) Surely the Son of God could have thought of a way to preserve one scrap of evidence of his miracles, no? Why wouldn't he? 8) But Jesus has appeared to people before, why not anymore? 9) ...lol what?? 10) Christians are supposed to be morally superior to non-Christians, so why do atheists get divorced far less often than Christians? proof Christian marriage is supposed to be "till death do us part." Why can human beings decide on a whim to undo a bond formed by God?

Of course more people would smoke. Take the risk of something that may appeal to people otherwise away will increase the demand.

10/10 great 99 and I like your prayer switching practicing guide. :thumbup:

Thanks! :thumbup: No flyfishing 99/20,000,000 Only sharks and monks. Most sharks, And the road to 99 was most sharks/monks aswell. ;) Hah, I did mostly barbarian rod fishing. 65k xp/hour is too hard to pass up.

You just got lucky, bronze drags are still terrible. 7/10

10/10 yay go fishing. Did you fly fish or what?

I shall express what I went through in this thread through smilies alone: :?: :!: :shock: :wall: :lol: :cry: -.- : :thumbup:

Must suck to know you've lost over 100mil in the last couple weeks cuz of those phats.

I find women physically attractive but I cannot have an emotional attachment with one. I really wish I were gay; men are so much easier to talk to.

Can we send God to jail for his systematic extermination, too? "It is God who has sinned against me!"

8/10 keep it up

Nice 99, I hate training magic but I'll get around to it soon. 10/10

What's with little noobs these days and posting their noob achievements like 99 slayer and 200 million firemaking experience? What a freaking waste of my time. 0/10 :thumbdown:

10/10 I'll be joining you two somewhat soon. \

9/10, +1 for the decent slayer level.

Hey baby... There are 208 bones in the human body... Want another?

I just finished reading the last couple pages. Wow. Sly_Wizard is the perfect example of the type of creationists I run into every day. :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: It's so glaringly, painfully obvious that he will not listen to logic and will instead resort to answering questions that were never asked. This specific type of idiocy never ceases to amaze me. WHY CAN'T YOU FACE THE TRUTH? YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SCARED; THERE IS NO HELL TO BE SENT TO IF YOU USE YOUR BRAIN.

I would venture to say that living forever would be the ultimate torture. If there is no sin in heaven, does that mean we lose our free will? We can't do any wrong there; do we become slaves of God?

What I don't understand is that if the baby gets a "soul" at conception of the sperm and the egg, God must sure like to kill a lot of them. Many of the eggs that were fertilized don't make it to the uterus and are just spewed out later. So, essentially to the pro-life people that believe life begins at conception, the mother commits involuntary man-slaughter for half of the eggs that were conceived. Yep. "Studies reveal that anywhere from 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage. " Source: http://www.americanpregnancy.org/pregna ... riage.html

I don't understand it either. The Bible may or may not contradict iself; matter it does not. What baffles me is how someone can take such an elaborate work of mind control over society seriously when it contradicts the only "religion" worth believing in: science. Unlike religion, science changes every day. If there was undeniable proof that God existed, science would not deny it. If there was undeiable proof that God didn't exist, religion would deny it. What bothers me is how closed minded you can be. I think no differently of you for choosing to be Atheist, but I do think differently about you for seeming as if religion is the worst thing that ever happened to society. Now, debates can be made about the effects religion has had on the world, but I take offense why someone starts calling me stupid. Why do I believe in religion when there is the "Almighty Science" to believe in? Because science does not do it for me. It "proves" nothing. All it "proves" is that things operate this way. It tells me no why, which is what I truly desire to know. Why are things this way? Why are people the way they are? Why are we here? Science does not answer these questions, and I doubt will ever be able to. That is why I continue to persist in my "delusion" of religion. It gives my life purpose, meaning, a sense of understanding. I say often enough that if I did not believe what I do, I would have killed myself and probably others a long time ago because of the desparity of it all. Life would seem so pointless without something to believe in. Let me ask you a few questions, ones that I would like to know. What do you think about when you think about death? Do you dwell on the fact that your life means nothing, that you've contributed nothing to this world that is significant in any way? How about the idea that the world would be no different if you had never been born? Are you afraid of death? My beliefs allow me to believe that my life and the life of everyone has a purpose. They also let me sleep peacefully, never afraid of dying. If nothing else, I am content to continue in my delusion of religion because it provides me comfort that science never will, allows me to never fear death. You can question religion all you want, but please do not insult me or call me crazy for believing what I do. Respect me as a human being, if you please. I'm not scared of dying. Life is pointless if you want to look at it that way. The only objective in any organism's life is to survive and reproduce as much as possible. I'm sorry that you would commit suicide if you were me, but I quite enjoy my life without some absurd obligation to a being that may or may not exist. God may have created me, but what do I care? I would never worship such a cruel God as the ones of the major monotheistic religions today. I enjoy life and I accept the fact that when I die there is nothing more. If anything, that makes me less likely to commit suicide. I live my life to the fullest here and now. If religion makes you feel secure then so be it. If the dream of everlasting life seems realistic to you then so be it. Oh, and please stop pulling words out of my mouth. I never called you or anyone else stupid. You are as equally intelligent as anyone else. In my eyes, some people are capable of handling the universe as it really is and others need the delusion. I understand that and have experienced it first-hand. I bolded a couple questions in your quote because science does answer those questions. Very clearly, in fact. P.S. I actually do believe religion is one of the worst things to happen to society, but that's a more personal thing and not really worth discussing.

This reminds me of one of my favorite techno songs: Eiffel 65 - "Now is Forever" the past is all that's gone, the future is yet to come. this moment is all our own. we should live this way, just building up our day, now and forever. the past is all that's gone, the future is yet to come. this moment is all our own. we should live this way, just building up our day, now and forever. don't shade your future, with what you don't have. keep your mind on that's here today. now and forever, build the future now. keep this mind. though you will take your time, to get what you need, but you'll do it step after step. yet to come is all that's gone, learn to live this moment. live for today. Anyway, time may or may not exist. It has actually been proven that "time" goes by faster the older you are. The longer you are alive, the less you feel the "passage" of "time." Oh, and it's hard to prove that someone else's green is your green, but I believe that it could be done. You could ask someone on a scale of 1-10 how bright a certain color is, black being 10 and white being 1. And I think my dark is your dark!

Why can't people who are pro-life only because of their religion have their God save the fetus' soul for the next body or something? :-#

I don't know any straight guys that aren't extremely turned on by lesbians. Take the guy out and it's twice as hawt for me. :thumbup: I wanna know what most straight girls think of gay porn. Is it even hawter or do you just find it weird? From ginger's post it would seem they find it weird. I want to hear it first-hand here though.
