    I'll be straight with you. THERE'S NO GOD.

    1. Bad things happening to you don't prove it. Will you believe it again when everything turns up team Mayqueen? Good and bad things happen to everyone. Some we don't have control over, most we do.

    2. God is just humans attempt to anthropomorphize the miracle of life. There's no reason matter being in the universe and evolving like it did is any more or less logical that there being nothing. It's just a miracle, and humans ascribe human like characteristics to that. Personality, moods, planning, love, anger, consciousness. God has none of that because he's simply a human literary construct.

    3. You don't need faith in anything. The world is without logic, you will die, there is no afterlife, and your life has no objective point.

    Sounds a bit morose. But it's not, it's simply reality. When you accept that...

    4. Although there's no objective meaning to your life, here you are. You are completely free to decide the point of your own life, and to life for it. And with that you rich mortal soul will be fulfilled.

    corporatism isn't an alternative to religion. You've provided no evidence to suggest that the religious are less consumerist than non religious people.

    Logical fallacy. 5 yard penalty.

    I never believed, even as a child being dragged to church. I like the idea of a god, but I just can't get on board that train.

    I have never really understood the need people have to constantly debate this.

    If someone really believes there is no question for them of what their faith is.

    If someone does not believe these is also no question for them about what they disbelieve.

    If someone is not sure regarding just how much they do or do not believe, they tend with time to sort through that and find what they need.

    For anyone to blame all ills of the world and all the short comings or poor decsions of mankind on a god is rather an oddity. It takes away all responsibility of self.

    Nice system. ;)

    Existential crises, unnecessary and frankly pointless self-doubt.

    Let my clarify my faith in people: I have faith that all people have both the ability to help themselves AND are worthwhile (and deserving of help when I can give it).

    I find simple things appealing, and faith is as simple as it can get.

    So you need some measure of trust, i.e. faith

    You failed to understand what I was simply saying. though i wasn't too clear. I was posing a question.

    Religious are less consumerist than non religious people ? you lost me there. . .

    I meant simply that the recent main stream attack on God influences some hipsters to accept the propaganda spit at them and thus some may think they have arrived at their own conclusions about religion...on their own guidance.

    Though, it is my belief that some , if not most, have been guided to a conclusion that has been contrived and programmed in subtle ways.

    Of which these means are carried out and how it all works is neither here or there.

    Thank you sir.





    take that penalty and stuff it up your logical fallacy five yards deep.

    What is your reason for this assumption though?

    Is there not also support shown for God on television?
    Aren't country music channels full of references to God? Aren't there Christian channels? Aren't there televangelists and commercials for religious products on non-religious channels?
    Have there not been mainstream religious shows? 7th Heaven, Touched By An Angel. The Simpsons go to church.

    TV is based on ratings. Religion doesn't sell. No conspiracy is needed to explain that.

    Duck I like where you are going with this and it makes sense to take it there.

    But it is in my opinion that the support of god is vastly diminishing on cue for favor of planned agenda , backed by a proped up and supported science biased society.

    That is my stance here and I will go no further with it. But ill tell you quickly what I'm thinking...

    Just one reason, just one out of many, is to take the establishing mass-consensus of a unquestioned science community and use it in convincing ways that will literally rape the fuck out of your right to co exist freely on this planet...

    Wth this, global warming can be hatched, forced into acceptance by an oligarch science biased culture and the coming result is a global carbon tax and it will go as actual reality because of the propaganda runs FUCK deep all over the world. Accepted.

    Of course I can go on and on about what I believe. But one thing is certain, their is a shift away from a traditional Christan god toward a science biased, know all , see all ...can I say illustrious agenda?

    We can debate this but I'm not sure it would be cool right here.

    These are my views, and again, I think you raise some fundamental questions that, in my opinion can be smashed to bits...easily.

    Unplug.

    From lack of theistic belief to mass consciousness, scientific oligarchy, and global warming in half a paragraph?

    Nope, not going to try and top that. :smilielol5:
