No worries, Ive never been accused of being shy, just making an attempt at civility. Have no fear, though, none of my insulting thoughts were directed towards you lol. Just the topic in general. Plus after arguing religion my entire life, I have finally dismissed it and yet I still find myself arguing religion.. its rather tiring.Quote:

man, the shit about god is all about w/e you want to belive. because think about it, all religions are the same practily, "our god is right, and your god is wrong" is that not the basic prisiple the tell yall at church? or when you ask about another religion?. stop being scared about the invisible man in the sky and just live your life as your wish. take off that ball and chain that damn bible put on you. read better littiture. or smoke more grass :thumbsup:
How do you know the person was crying out to Yahweh? Maybe it was a Snake God in the Amazon or Vishnu in the Hindu religion or Odin.Are they all the same god?
When I was a child I called out to "God". I also wrote letters to Santa Claus as well. We are programmed by our parents and others around us to believe in certain things, doesn't make them true. As I got older I slowly started questioning those beliefs, eventually I stopped believing in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus, and the Tooth Fairy and then I stopped believing in God as we portray it. I do not discount the possibility of an entity/creator, but since there is not proof of it, I will not believe. I don't call out to "god" anymore. I have programmed expressions I'm still trying to break myself of. Saying things like "God Damnit" and "Holy Shit" they are simply expressions to indicate a certain feeling. Nothing more, though I'm trying to break myself of the habit if I can catch myself. I like to replace "God" with "science" especially around religious people as it pisses them off. (Funny though since God Damnit is taking the lords name in vain, but if you say Science Damnit or Science be Damned in the same reference they get mad)
Everyone usually has a certain belief in God because that's what they were brought up to know. The second you were told there is a higher power up there that is what you know to be true. Imagine if someone were raised without being taught all this. What would a blind/deaf person say when they hurt their toe? "Ow".
I'm pretty tired of these GOD and religion threads. I feel like striking back with a proof GOD doesn't exist thread. But I won't, because that would put me at their level.
An ex-gf of mine is a pagan. "She says, "Oh, my dear goddess," all the time. When we fucked, though, it was, "omigod! omigod!!!" Does that mean when we fucked I converted her?Quote:
