There is no god

[BoyNextDoor]

I just needed a break from incessant the political threads. So I guess it religion (If I was a woman I would show tits. Goddess-like tits are welcomed and encouraged in this thread, because let's face it all tits are goddess-like) .

So, here goes ...

There is no possible way that an invisible Santa Caus is watching us all masturbate and passing judgement. Life is a by-product of entropy. It makes no sense at all to think that there is "life-everlasting". Nothing can last "forever". Religion is at best a coping mechanism, and at worst, and let's be real it is 90% used for it worst aspects, a means of controlling and subjugating 99% of humanity.

The best thing I can say about America in 2014 is that atheism is growing faster than ever and people are waking up.

people do crazy shit in the name of their god/s.

Of course you know (but apparently you don't) that there can indeed by a God and Religion can still be total crap.

The billion Catholics across the globe would disagree with you.

The muslims are currently the worst, but there are plenty of crazy Christians too. My favorite quote on the subject is from Ghandi "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

And even if he didn't say it that way exactly, the sentiment is so true.

A billion Catholics can't even agree on birth control.

Man created the gods. And religion is total crap.

Just for the sake of argument, What do you call it when a prayer is answered.... Coincidence?

Been to church recently? It is full of 75+ yr olds. The billion Catholics are two generations from being a historical footnote.

It's possible. But if religion is total crap then we should all behave on the assumption that there is no God.

Just for the sake of argument, What do you call it when a prayer is answered.... Coincidence?

Depends on the prayer. Was this something you had no control over at all and would probably best be called a coincidence? Or was this something where you thanked God for your own damn hard work, like say every single sports star and singer who wins and award and thanks Jesus for what they did.

 

[Mockingjay]

You consider Buddha a god?

Religion was created by man.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Religion was created by man.

So was God.

Statisitcally probable.

Been around the world lately? Pope Francis has caused a resurgence in faith in young folk. Seriously ... You need to get out of the basement.

 

[Cathleen]

So was God.

How do you know that? Or why do you believe that?

 

[Sean Renaud]

Statisitcally probable.

For the record what about when it's statistically improbable. Like if I pray that Vette gets hit by lightning and it happens?

I love Pope Francis. What a breath of fresh air. A true Atheists Pope. But have you noticed that everything that he says that is causing the resurgence has nothing to do with an afterlife, belief in an invisible Santa Clause or Church doctrine? It is his rejection of doctrine that is causing the resurgence. It is humanist views that resonate around the world.

Buh-bye Catholocism. Buh-bye.

Now if we could just get the f'in Muslims to come around. They are the real problem right now, globally. Not the Catholics. (Unless you are a woman. Then all religion hates you)

I would argue that the shear numbers of prayers that Vette gets a comeuppance makes it a statistical probability that someones version of what the comeuppance will be, will happen.

I didnt believe in Gods before I even knew what Atheism was. I come from heavily Roman Catholic influenced country and my close family are mostly eager church goers. Still, all that stuff always sounded like bullshit aimed to control and take advantage to me.

Oh I have been around for a while but thanks.
It is refreshing to meet someone who feels like I do for sure.

Just for the record tho, I am not showing tits

Another topic where everyone has the opportunity to tell someone else how wrong and stupid they are. This'll turn out well.

I believe that humans have souls - that there is something within the energy of our beings that makes us conscious, who we are beyond the physical. I do not believe that our souls die, but that that energy is recycled and reused somewhere in the universe. I don't know where the concept of a god or higher power fits in, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of a being or beings with a...higher plane of consciousness than ourselves. With how little we know of the universe, anything is possible, and that is pretty fucking cool.
