God might have just fucked with us to test our faith, but then the question is 'Why would God value blind faith over critical reasoning?'

Unless God really is just a douche.

Plus, why are there no dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible? If they're part of God's divine plan, how come they wandered the planet for millions of years eating and shitting out each other.

Psh... God put them there to test our faith of course.

No, they evolved from fish, like everything else. God did nothing, because he doesn't exist.

Omg !! How can you say that! You probably hurt God's feelings now.

No Heaven-strawberries for you!

Dixanadu 07-19-2010 11:13 AM

Wow. If God had feelings, then he's not a super-deity at all then, is he?

How would you know? :fuzconf:

Dixanadu 07-19-2010 11:30 AM

I don't.

Yet, it's all I hear on a daily basis.

Ah, so you form your opinion based on popular opinion.

Dixanadu 07-19-2010 11:34 AM

I think you got the wrong end of the stick.

The things I hear on a daily basis consist of everyone loving God. This IS Ireland, after all.

I guess some of us question the reason why he's so great, yet does fuck all to stop all the evil in the world, yet some fag will say some ridiculous thing that makes The Mighty Boosh seem like a normal show.

Isn't that the way religion works? You really think all christians read the bible from beginning to end?

OANST 07-19-2010 11:42 AM

There's a word for Christians who have read The Bible from beginning to end.

Atheists.

Don't mind my comments. I'm just trying to annoy Dixy.


But It really does puzzle me why people say that God is omnipotent. Does it say he is in the bible? I never read the whole thing. it's so damn boring X_x

I'd say that if there was a god, it could be many things. Like some people even like to refer to the Universe as god.

Or perhaps there is a god with limited powers.

The definition of a monotheistic God is something that is omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenelovent. In this respect the Norse Pantheon weren't at all Gods, more like heroic avatars.

Why do people get a kick out of that?

It's a bit hypocritical to claim the Bible is boring when you believe everything in it.

Or relating to what OANST just said, thinking it's a load of shit then going out and having a beer.

I don't actually believe in it. I thought my over-the-top stupid comments made that clear X_x

Dixanadu 07-19-2010 11:59 AM

T-nex's ability to annoy me just skyrocketed after I read that.

Anthony is testy.

Dixanadu 07-19-2010 12:04 PM

It must've been the thirteenth time I've wanted to beat a girl up. Which is cool, because I get away with it.

T-nex 07-19-2010 12:17 PM

Jeezus...

Dixanadu 07-19-2010 12:19 PM

Check rep.

OANST 07-19-2010 12:22 PM

Anyone who thinks that Lady Gaga is pretty can not be operating on all cylinders. It's hard to get mad at these people.

Neg-rep?? >: C What a poo.

No, it was posrep. Don't make me take back my apology -.-

I was kidding! *hugs* =) Thanks anyway.

No problemo.

I blame OANST for the thread, though. Damn you.

Ridg3 07-19-2010 12:59 PM

I blame you for the gaping hole that used to be my anus.

How about you fuck off with your pretentious arrogance right now and answer your own questions before seeking answers from others?

Some people have this thing called faith, it doesn't need evidence and if they're not hurting anyone directly or indirectly through their faith then you have no right to demand explanations from them.

Scraby 07-19-2010 05:33 PM

yeah thats what you all say,i dont belive till i see him with my own eyes

Wings of Fire 07-19-2010 05:34 PM

Uuuuh

I'm not religious? But I'm also not arrogant and have respect for others. You should try that sometime.

Scraby 07-19-2010 05:37 PM

Faith doesn't appear in your head spontaneously, people believe for reasons, and trust the little evidence they have while ignoring other evidence against it. BTW what kind of a debate can you have without people explaining themselves?

Wings of Fire 07-19-2010 06:15 PM

Faith does not require any kind of scientific evidence, it's down to personal experiences and beliefs. You can't have any debate without people explaining themselves, but that's up to the discretion of the debators. Nobody is obligated to respond to a straight up attack at their beliefs, especially not one as rude as that.

Scraby 07-19-2010 06:18 PM

yeah well those where questions,not attacking questions...attacking questions are.example.are you mad,you think god exist shit head?your crazy!(thats an example of being rude)

i once loved the egiptian gods,and that what i put for an example is what religion does:my god is better,he is the only one,your god is false.... thats what you hear from ppl,mostly christians do that,not all,the rude guys(skinheads...evil punkers and that form of christians and those that have jail records),they say their god is better then some other god,and thatss what we see on tv ppl kill ppl becouse insults come like this,and woosh...

Wings of Fire 07-19-2010 06:30 PM

I should note I'm playing devil's advocate for a philosophical God, for the existence of a God or a constituent set of metaphysical parts that when whole is omnipotent, omniscient and omnibenelovent. Not for a God of any particular religion.

Because the bible says he exists and apparently that's perfectly normal logic to religious people.
