If that were true, there wouldn't be any Christians left. Even at my Catholic school, we are taught that the Bible isn't meant to be taken in a historical/scientific context. Yes, it's probably the Church trying to save face, but they've at least opened up a bit to modern science.

Regardless, religion ranks in the same area as furbies on the list of bad ideas.

Yeah the fact that people get this but hurt over their beliefs really shows how insecure they are about their beliefs.

That's what Stephen Hawking based his theory on why God can't exist on. He basically said that since there was no universe/world, there was no place or time for God to exist.
Although that still doesn't prove anything because believers can just say "oh well he's God, he didn't need time or space to live."
It's a lose-lose argument.

Oh, and if God created an immovable rock, then he couldn't move it.
So if he moved it, he isn't an omnipotent all-knowing creator because he can't create an immovable object.
But if can't move it, he still can't be omnipotent and all-knowing because he can't move a rock.
It's like one of those math problems where they give you an equation and say always sometimes or never true, and you need to find a counter-example to prove that it's false.
This is that counter-example.

Every christian believe that when you die, you'll go to heaven, right?

If every christian believed that, they should just kill themselves, piss some mafia gang off and make them kill you, go to Afganistan and run around getting killed, or something like that.

Then you can just chill out in heaven with god and jesus for all eternity... Must be great.

if god created the univers. then what created god, what is god, what is he made of, why havent we seen it,why do we believe in god, who put god into a theory. thats why atheism exists, because there are also so many un answered questions that it would be stupid to ignore the fact that god may not be real.

and yes im athiest.

in my opinion i think that athiests are smart saying that there is an untold scientific explanation why we are here but we just have not found out yet. christians just say that GOD created the universe, both are fine explanations whatever makes you happy people.

the measurement of time is yes, a human invention, but time is one of the most real things in the universe, it is always there along with space and that my friends is spacetime, the thing that surrounds absolutely everything and it is not static, ever changing relative to something else.

i would agree

now i certainly dont know everyone about evolution and what not, but from what i do know, they can only explain things so far, theres no way the whole thing just happened

...when they answer one questions, there will be another...

So all of evolution happened in 6000 years? This is just another case of someone trying to shape the world to fit their views, instead of shaping their views to fit the world. You're just deluding yourself.

watching that dane cook video was more worth my time than reading yet another retarded religion thread, and that's saying something.

(not a dane cook fan, but i gotta give credit, the line: i said to him "god bless you," but the way i said it, it sounded kinda like "cover your fucking mouth" is funny)

"Religion convinced the world that there's an invisible man in the sky who watches everything you do. And there's 10 things he doesn't want you to do or else you'll to to a burning place with a lake of fire until the end of eternity. But he loves you! ...And he needs money!"

-George Carlin.

But anywho, my view is that there is no way anyone can not be Agnostic as there is no scientific proof either way.

And when you say that atheists are dumb, you clearly don`t have knowledge about anything other than your religion. And that is what you need to have to raise any kind of opinion. Especially when the topic is religion.

this is probably a bad idea, but im going to try and briefly summarize my theory about god that ive been working on with my philosophy professor. its still under construction, but i find that it can answer a lot of questions and it forms a sort of middle ground between atheism and religion.

humans are finite beings with a finite understanding, lifespan, and ability. the judeo-christian god is infinite, therefore we can never truly appreciate the reasons for why or how a divine event occurs, if in fact it does.
i think in all likelihood the god that is most often worshiped in contemporary religions does not exist as is described by those religions, and i think atheism logically makes more sense as a mean to find answers to problems. however we are, as previously stated, finite beings and therefore will never know everything. i believe in a god, but not god who sits in a heavenly throne who directly influences the dimensions in which we live, but rather i believe in a god which is ingrained in a deep part of the sub conscience.
god is the part of the mind which fabricates answers to any issue we cannot solve with reason. lots of people make claims that through science and research they can find the answer to any problems, and those people tend to reject the idea of a god. however you cannot find the answer to everything, because we are sentient beings and are limited in what we can and cannot do.
the 'mind-god' as i call it, is simply a means to satisfy the inherent and insatiable thirst for knowledge and intellectual security until a more definite answer is found, or until the person dies and the thought no longer occurs. to fully reject god presence would therefore be to reject an imperative portion of your mind and in doing so you are limiting the extent to which your mind can function. it would also be unhelpful to never challenge the mind-god, because that would also limit the extent to which your brain develops by not searching for knowledge in the world of our perception.
the basis of knowledge for any sentient being ought to be comprised of a priori knowledge from the mind-god, which satisfies the need to fill in the blank, per say, and a posteriori knowledge to challenge the mind-god and provide an answer more applicable to our immediate lives.

Multi universe theory is bs. The only reason that theory was invented was because the universe we live in is Perfectly made for us to exist in it. Rather than resort to the possibility that someone some where made it that way they just say well then there must be hundreds of millions of universes out there just popping up into existence.

zen buddhism ftw. meditate, ponder questions about life, and just chill. no worrying about dying, or being right, or proving others wrong... just finding your own path in life and the universe.
