The big picture

[swede]

It always strikes me how religious people still are in the USA. I'm happy for those who find strength or comfort from such an idea, but I'm an atheist myself.

Our current level of science doesn't allow us to explain some things, but I haven't seen or felt anything in my life which concludes me to think there is a god somewhere.

Well, then that settles it.

Next topic, please.

How is his opinion any less justifiable than yours?

[swede]

So, you'd give him a B+ in the Epistemology final?

Nietzsche might have given it an A-.

[falco]

He was just sharing his opinion. I don't think he was haughty or offensive in doing so.

[swede]

I come to the internet precisely to be haughty and offensive.

I have real people I can be nice to.

[HowardRoark]

Nietzsche is dead.

Nietzsche is dead.

God probably put him in Heaven just to piss him off.



God: How we doin' today Freddy? There's a buffet on Deck Three y'know. All you can eat!

FN: Shut the f*** up you hairy old %$&*^#! I want my f***ing phone call!

Just my 2 cents, as an outsider looking in. As a non-American I am often surprised on how much of the American society is still influenced by religion, that's all. Didn't want to offend anyone nor write a thesis to score high grades. Next time I'll add a dickjoke to soften the blow.

Wonder if he took god with him...

Howard and Joe are walking along the road on a dark, dark night. As they cross a bridge over a river, Howard mentions that he has to take a leak. Joe concurs and they both unzip, hang 'em over the railing and begin to pee.

In the mood to impress, Howard says, "Brrr...the water sure is cold."

Not to be outdone, Joe says, "Yep, and it's deep, too."[/i]

Once upon a time in the Viking locker room Coach Brad Childress caught a glimpse of Visanthe Shiancoe coming out of the shower and couldn't help but notice his enormous dick.

"My God, Visanthe! What on earth did you do to get a dick that size?"

"Well, Coach Childress, my daddy taught me to bang my dick on the side of the bedpost every night before going to bed. That's how my dick got so big."

Coach Childress works late into the night, and when he goes home he finds that his wife is already in bed. Remembering what he had been told, he took out his dick and banged it vigorously on the bedpost a few times. Roused by the noise, his wife sat up and peered into the darkness of the room.

"Is that you, Visanthe?" she asked.

If god is such a certainty, then why do you have doubt?

Faith. God wants us to choose him. He wants us to believe even when we cannot get all the facts.

Hebrews 11:1 tells me that "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."

Faith is believing in what you know ain't so. - Twain

Being sure of what you hope fore - so are you willing to bet your life savings that the Packers will win the Superbowl? (Better odds than a god existing). Hebrews 11:1 sounds like a recipe for insanity.

If he were to "completely" prove himself to the world, the world would not need faith. Faith is the cornerstone upon which God wants me to base my belief.

Again this is insane. If your god were to prove his existence then we could all just accept it as fact, instead of having people like you try to argue that the complete lack of evidence is in fact evidence. Really, that logic is the same as the UFO believers 'logic' that no evidence = clear evidence of a government cover-up.

Perhaps your god is afraid of a bable fish incident:

"The Babel fish" said The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy quietly, "is a small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconsious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the consious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish."

"Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindboggingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God. The argument goes something like this:

`I refuse to prove that I exist, says God, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.'

`But,' says Man, `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED.'

`Oh dear,' says God, `I hadn't thought of that,' and promptly vanished in a puff of logic."

`Oh, that was easy,' says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

"Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of dingo's kidneys, but that didn't stop Oolon Colluphid making a small fortune when he used it as the central theme of his bestselling book Well That About Wraps It Up For God."

"Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation."
