If You Don't Believe In God Your Stupid

Like bacteria evolving to become resistant to antibiotics in a generation?

You're right. No god. Or he's really hands off.</thread>

 

I'm intrigued. If you believe in creation do you believe in a creator? Or just a slow "creation", aka evolution?

 

Believe in everything because everything matters.. That "is" all that matters. Or not..

 

I really wish that people would accept that simply because certain things cannot be explained, it doesn't mean that God exists.

 

Are you talking about how humans can love, reason ,think ,smell, see in color?

 

The eyes see a narrow spectrum of energy that easily passes through water. Water is clear because eyes EVOLVED under water.

 

Creator, Father, God, Friend

 

A person isn't stupid for not believing in God or gods, nor is someone stupid for believing. The title of this thread was poorly chosen.

“Speak only endearing speech, speech that is welcomed. Speech, when it brings no evil to others, is a pleasant thing.”, from the Sutta Nipata.

 

a "really hands off" god, is certainly possible. just not required.
by the same token, nothing that can be known to exist, is required to either.

so there totally doesn't have to be or not be one or more gods or god like beings at all.
but there is an observable universal wonder of strangeness,
which again, creates no requirement, for any religious book or belief,
to have the slightest idea what its talking about.

so there's nothing to stop there from being a billion gods.

what i don't believe in, is the need, for anything to be infallible,
micro-manage, make war on anything, nor have the slightest desire to be feared.

the big wtf that gets me though, is people who say they don't believe in something, which is fine, you don't believe in it, great, move on and focus on something else.
but who then, in practically the next breath, try to act like there is not and never can be anything ELSE anyone could ever possibly believe in.

i don't get that one, any more then i 'get' the title of this thread.

 

You're right.
My respect for a person's intelligence mostly depends on the reasons they have for believing.

 

everything except the need for anything to be infallible, micro-manage, make war on anything, or have the slightest desire to be feared, works for me.

 

I don't believe in God. I don't think I'm a genius or anything. I mean, I guess I am kind of stupid. I can type without looking at the keys tho and I can remember the names of all of the kids in my kindergarten class.

 

Uh oh.. What does it mean if you can't?

 

That there is definitely no God. Worm food. No reincarnation. No heaven. No hell for our oppressors. That is what happens when you can't remember your beloved kindergarten classmates.

 

I believe in a highest order, a pinnacle of enlightenment, a source from which all things stem and flow.

 

damn, i graduated with most of the same people and i still don't remember all their names.

 

They suck and are a bunch of losers who are totally not worth remembering. None of them believe in God anyway.
