Debating this is like debating with little children whether or not Santa Claus exists. That some supernatural being is there to be merciful and hospitable to humanity.

"One day Millions of people will disappear causing world-wide panic and disorder. There will then be a world-wide Earthquake killing millions. Demons will come forth and meteorites and comets will hit earth killing even more people. All this in the bible" ...but im not

QUOTE(JCLore @ Jan 22 2008, 07:57 PM) i'd tell you but that just ruins it for them if you want to debate something your supposed to continue and debate the topic not put ppl down when you dont know what to put Believe me, I have been debating. You on the other hand have been a total idiot with your ignorant remarks. First off, before you get on the Debate forum, have a lesson of Grammar 101. You're, not your anyone? Also, your arguments that evolution came from nothing? I believe in the Big Bang theory. Different microorganisms from the meteorites hit Earth, and that's when the new cellular organisms started developing. Over a 4.5 billion year lifespan, we first have the first organisms the bacteria, gradually evolving into to cell life forms living in water that actually moved on it's own. I'm not going to go in full detail of how life started with the evolution theory, but know that evolution has a stronger case than religion do. Don't say evolution came from nothing. Ever heard of natural selection? You do know the bible is bullshit right? Who wrote the bible? God? Edit- Yeah that's right. Go google "who wrote the bible" and come back here for a reply right? I think it's best you know more about your religion before you even try to defend it dipshit. |

I know people usually don't like when a post is just a quote, but this one really sums up my views on religion. It is by the master, George Carlin. Enjoy.
QUOTE But folks, I have to tell you, in the bullshit department a businessman can't hold a candle to a clergyman. Because when it comes to comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe--in awe!!--of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims: RELIGION. No contest. Religion--easily--has the Greatest Bullshit Story Ever Told! Think about it: religion has actually convinced people--many of them adults--that there's an invisible man who lives in the sky and watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And who has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to remain and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry, forever and ever, till the end of time. But he loves you! He loves you, and he needs money! He always needs money. he's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, but somehow... he just can't handle money. Religion takes in billions of dollars, pays no taxes, and somehow always needs a little more. now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy shit!"  Anyways, since you mention history books, I assume you know a lot about our history correct? Hey, if you read history, you'll realize that "God" is one of the leading causes of death...has been for thousands of years. Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Jews, all taking turns killing each other because God told them it was a good idea. JClore, you can continue and keep believing in this so call "God" and keep praying to "God". If I'm going to pray to anything, it'll be the Sun. Unlike "God", I can see the Sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no bullshit. I'm tired of "debating" with a 12 year old. Steven or Nate finish it off. |

Coz they worship the sun but you know what else they do they sleep with other men for fun Can you like post normally, instead of writing your post out like a poem-like format?  If you want to know about my religious background, I have never been religious. Why? I don't believe in bullshit. I think religion is a form of slavery. There's those people who are free thinkers. Maybe Agnostics maybe. People who don't necessarily believe in God, but believe that there is some kind of supreme being up in the sky? Religion can never reform mankind, because religion is slavery. Hmm you seem to know something about the Sun then I assume? You do know Christianity is a parody that branch off from astrology? The Christian religion is mimic on the worship of the sun, in which Jesus Christ is in place as the worshiper instead of the sun. People pay Jesus adoration, which was originally the sun. Christianity is a joke. |

QUOTE(JCLore @ Jan 22 2008, 11:53 PM) it was in person so yea it was a bit easier Yeah, I've damned a lot of souls in my day, probably a f**k lot more than you've "saved." But, that's not really important. Read these two posts and then we can begin to even consider talking: Post 1 Post 2 Alright, first off, from reading your posts, it's quite obvious that you have no f**king idea what you're talking about. I suspect that your extent of knowledge concerning evolutionary biology is limited to high school lectures (where someone's dick was definitely stuck in your ear), a few instances of peer conversation (kids are very stupid), listening in on big boy conversations (adults are also very stupid), and probably a few apologetic creationists. Ok, read a f**king book. Read some literature that actually intelligently supports evolution - go to the library or start searching the net. f**k, you can start with On The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection by Charles Darwin. My point here is that you lack the fundamental knowledge to even begin to have a meaningful discussion here, and, I'm tired of playing teacher. Until you can demonstrate a level of even moderate competency, I'm not so sure you're worth the time or effort. |
