Christians Beware: Jesus Kills Babies And Supports Genocide

[beachguy in thongs]

I'm not gonna argue synonyms.

[siSTARindigo]

LOL ok I'm not going to argue symantics. My God is a loving and just God.

Not arguing, I just don't like being misquoted by a really newbie who just joined the conversation. I don't care what you believe, as long as it makes you happy, I think I said that too. Tired of repeating myself.........

[mont974x4]

I didn't mean to misquote you, just misunderstood your point. LOL Besides you missed my point too. Such is life on a messageboard.

[niles007]

god made us so he can kill who he wants

the lord giveth the lord taketh away blessed be the name of the LORD

Actually....man invented God. God had nothing to do with his being born.

"What then, is the absurd? The absurd is that the eternal truth has come into existence in time, that God has come into existence, has been born, has grown up, etc., has come into existence exactly as an individual human being, indistinguishable from any other human being..."

--Kierkegaarde

Thoughts?

I've stated this many times over them months I've been here, and I have to repeat it...

Humanity is stuck, and we will never progress beyond our current situationuntil more and more people realize what God and religion really are, bullshit. But more than that, they are one of many means of control that authorities have, and have had, over us for the past 2,000 years. An authority figure can make a certain number of people do anything based on religious obligation.

I'm sorry siSTAR, but agreeing to disagree is not the way out of this conundrum. And you can't change the setting by calling it "spirituality" rather than "religion". Yes, I'm am a militant atheist who is out to put an end to ignorance, thoughtlessness, irrationality, and superstition. The first two things that must leave people's brains for good are 1) God does NOT exist and 2) There is NO life after death. We must start with those two and worl our way up from there.

Also, to say things that your God is different than other people's is a little strange. You either believe in God or you don't. If you are a Christian, you believe in the Christian God. If you're muslim, you believe in Allah, etc. etc. You can't pick and choose what concepts you like to believe in and what others you think should be thrown out. That says to me that there are indeed some parts of religion which you think are unreasonable, but you're afraid to go all the way. There's nothing to be afraid of, unless you're scared of true freedom of thought. In many ways, you and people who think like you are even more unreasonable than fundamentalists, because at least they believe in the whole shabang, without picking and choosing which elements they do and do not like.

But unfortunately, I'm aware that the end of religion won't happen in the next few years, probably not even in my lifetime. In fact, I'm seeing the opposite. Where 20 years ago it was normal for Chruch matters and State matters to be completely separate, today the line is blurred. "One nation under God" is not in the original Pledge of Allegiance, it was added in about 50 years ago.

Nonetheless, religion must and will disappear, at least I truly hope so, or the world and all its peoples will decay into barbarism once again.

I don't think you read this whole thing. And my comments weren't ignorant, because although you may have facts, we don't (by me I mean the general public), about other life anyways.

But again, In the post you quoted, I was basically saying that the persons opinion I was responding to was ignorant due to the stead fastedness of his uneducated opinion that it was possible but unlikely that other life existed. I am not stead fast in anything, and am always open to education from those educated about a subject, such as yourself. That is the opposite of ignorance.

I don't appreciate being called ignorant when you obviously haven't read all of my posts in this. Which there are about 20 of them.

Well, I haven't read all your posts, but I really don't see what the problem with calling you ignorant is. Ignorant means you're lacking in education or knowledge. I believe you said yourself that you ARE lacking in education and knowledge, sooooo where's the problem? The word ignorant implies nothing about how open you are to education or your intentions, only how much education you currently have on a given subject (In this case, Astrobiology).

If you prefer I can sugar coat it and call you "informationally-challenged".

If it makes you feel any better, I first decided to study Astrobiology while I was stoned watching the Sci Fi channel.

I copied the below from this link :http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionar...ry&va=ignorant if anybody really cares.

But that is fine if you want to consider us (as in the general public like I stated before) ignorant because of the fact we, for the most part have no knowlege of this subject. But don't put me in that catagory by myself. There wouldn't have been a show about it if it was common knowlege. I am sure you are also ignorant, in one matter or another.

Definition #2 states what I was in fact discussin. People acting ig·no·rant·ly
saying all these TRUTHS with nothing to back it up. My only objective was for people to be open minded and be able to admit things outside THEIR own ideas are possible.

And don't worry about making me feel better hun, cause I don't feel bad. My life is amazing right now, and this? you? he he he..........

I'm sorry siSTAR, but agreeing to disagree is not the way out of this conundrum.

Call this "conundrum" what you want. Unlike you I haven't made it my mission in life to tell everyone they are wrong.

And you can't change the setting by calling it "spirituality" rather than "religion". Yes, I'm am a militant atheist who is out to put an end to ignorance, thoughtlessness, irrationality, and superstition.

You are neither spiritual OR religious, so wouldn't you be speaking ig·no·rant·ly right now? (2 : UNAWARE, UNINFORMED- ig·no·rant·ly adverb- ig·no·rant·ness noun http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionar...ry&va=ignorant)

The first two things that must leave people's brains for good are 1) God does NOT exist and 2) There is NO life after death. We must start with those two and worl our way up from there.

You have figured it out, after all these years, and all these SCIENTISTS. You know what we need to do to save ourselves. Wowo, I really must ask you this then, would you like a biscut?

Also, to say things that your God is different than other people's is a little strange. You either believe in God or you don't. If you are a Christian, you believe in the Christian God. If you're muslim, you believe in Allah, etc. etc. You can't pick and choose what concepts you like to believe in and what others you think should be thrown out.

What if you are none of them? And why can't I pick and choose what resonates with me? Each religion did so, starting their specific religion. You need to quite trying to be the spiritual cop, and leave people be. Who are you to tell me what I can and can't believe?

That says to me that there are indeed some parts of religion which you think are unreasonable, but you're afraid to go all the way.

Yup, religion is crap, I think I said that. Just because I can't answer everyones questions doesn't mean I have any. It just means that I don't want step on other peoples toes when it comes to their god. I wouldn't want to be like you, I prefer to live and let live. Discussing something is fine, but who are you to come in here and TELL people things.

But unfortunately, I'm aware that the end of religion won't happen in the next few years, probably not even in my lifetime. In fact, I'm seeing the opposite.

That is because religion is turning into spirituality. People are starting to realize that most of the beliefs are the same just worded differently. Get used to it It is going to get a lot better for me!! And you, will be on a futile mission.

Nonetheless, religion must and will disappear, at least I truly hope so, or the world and all its peoples will decay into barbarism once again.

Once again, you know excatly what needs to be done. WOW! That must be a good feeling! Right on. Usually people do find their happiness in god. But you might just BE god!

the bible has been re-written for thousands of years for the purposes of controlling humans so i believe none of it is acctually real..the true bible is hidden in metaphores. Saying God is jesus and jesus is god is true..but wait oneironot is god and god is oneironot (thread creater's name) everyone is god and god is everyone..jesus just didnt have somthing everybody else had..exactly what i cannot say but it was somthing that blocks humans from seeing the true nature of god...just remember take nothing litteral from the bible that is just ignorant... a book around for 2000 years..hmm
