I think there's one person on this forum I wouldn't mind debating with again about this topic and that's BM because he has never spoken against me or religion directly he just uses scientific proof to back up his claims.XD

I wouldn't mind having another debate with him either (evan though I know I'll loose, it would still be interesting)

I think it's worth remembering that you have directly spoken against atheism and have, in my opinion, said some really irritating and in some cases ignorant things.
It is also worth remembering that (to my knowledge) all you have used to back up your claims are citations of the Bible, a book written by many different, human people, and so obviously it does not provide any irrefutable evidence for God's existance.

I'm sorry I can't be specific, but I remember there being some sort of argument for religion stating that some things are found beautiful without a reason. It regarded a certain flower, but apparently it's this really sweet looking flower, and it has no evolutionary reason to look so attractive to us. It just does, because God wanted to have us to appreciate the beauty of life.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Oh! Oh! I have a better one...
What about the banana!! It's formed to fit our hands perfectly and it is neatly covered in an easily peelable peel!!!! Like... You just break the top and then peel.
The bananas were made specifically for us. This is proof. God really does care.

metroixer · #**125** 05-18-2011, 04:13 PM

Except monkeys eat bananas too??

then theres always the exact opposite, such as a blow fish were the only Edible bit is near the centre, and it takes an expert chef to cut it out, and what about extreamly ugly things in nature

Right, if God was real he'd have made all animals entirely edible.

Yes necissarily. What about theism don't you get?

LDG519 · #**130** 05-18-2011, 08:59 PM

Aha, so god of course created blowfish to make bananas look even better by comparison.

The bananas were intended to be shared by both humans and monkeys but humans stole most of the monkeys bananas

I thought that was obvious... x_x Jeez.. people really do take me more serious than they should. Shame on you guys!! >: (

Can we just agree to disagree, some people believe in God, some people don't, no one will truly know for 100% if God exists until we die.

There, I just saved us 15 pages of argument and tearing of clothes in anger.

***Alcar*** · #**140** 05-18-2011, 11:28 PM

When you die, all brain activity ceases. It's impossible to "know".

STM · #**141** 05-18-2011, 11:49 PM

Or alternatively you go to Heaven/ Hell, so yeh, I suppose in that sense we will either never know or we won't know 'till we die.

Or alternatively we don't go to heaven or hell, but something happens that no one has ever thought about.

Or maybe the soul-harvesters will hunt us and harvest our souls to use for evil purposes... Hm. Maybe I should write a fiction at some point.

STM · #**143** 05-19-2011, 12:02 AM

Ok then or that happens...do you mean soul harvesters from God's Demon because those are scary looking tanks! ^_^

T-nex · #**144** 05-19-2011, 12:23 AM

No Im more thinking of strange people in weird suits, with weird suction devices... They harvest souls for energy-purposes.

Havoc · #**145** 05-19-2011, 12:33 AM

I instantly thought of The Matrix and the harvesters for some reason.

Carry on.

In response to what Scrabtrapman said way earlier about there being no explanation for the cause of the big bang (if there was no time): Supposing the universe is only a few thousand years old and god has been forever, what took him so long to make anything? I imagine an eternity of thinking about absolutley nothing (for if nothing exist what is there to think about) would be completely and utterly boring.

JennyGenesis · #**147** 05-19-2011, 01:46 AM

If God is real and did create the universe, Then where did God come from? Did he create himself?

I asked my religion teacher once, "Could God make a pie so hot he couldn't eat it?"

I was subjected to receive a bad comment.
