OMGAKITTY Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 I have a question. Do you really expect yourself' date=' and others, to believe that some all-powerful being created two people who started the human race, meaning that we are all decendents of Adam and Eve, making us all Christian. And if that is not the case, why are religions different? Why do they have different beliefs? They cannot all be true, because that would cause a contradiction. [b']One explanation I have heard is that since the world is Satan's realm, he distorts God (as a prism would split light into different colored rays). The example given was the three blind men feeling the elephant. They were all feeling the same animal, yet their perceptions of that animal were vastly different.[/b] And the double slit experiement has zip to do with God at all, more in the fact that we cannot explain what is going on. When we cannot explain it, we cannot prove it, rendering it false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Atheism never made sense to me. They believe that god cannot logically exist' date=' yet somehow instead they believe it's logical that several hundred thousand one-in-a-million chances brought us to where we are today. I find it hard to believe that the universe randomly created itself and the laws that govern it. So realistically, there is nothing less logical about an omniscient being guiding the universe than the universe creating itself out of nothingness. Thus the atheism arguement basically dissolves into God can't exist because you can't prove he exists.[/quote'] You act like the people who defend God's exsistance make any more sense. lulz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno983 Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Okay im not saying that God dont exist but they are proof that he dont exist:in other words' date=' you ARE saying He doesn't exist. And in horrible grammar too.[/b'] 1.If GOD really Create Adam and Eve and every thing else in the world the animals,etc. the what the F**K happen to the dinosaurs in the bibleIn Genesis, there's a time jump from when Satan is cast down and when Adam and Eve appear. Presumably, that is when the dinosaurs roamed the earth.2. If God created the 10 commandments and one of them says "thou sall not kill" then he in the Apocalipse killed the whole human race he was broken one of them A.K.A: contradicting what he was saying10 Commandments were given to....man. God is not a man?Also, Jesus says something about only being able to receive salvation through Him, not the law. Ah, its a weak defense, I know. This is actually a rather valid point. I'm going to have to get back to you on that. sorry for the grammar im from Argentina And i think God is a man...only that he can create wathever the hell he wants and can control your destiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 But all 3 men feeling the elephant (it's a story) were right. They were grasping the same object. But religions have different points of view. Hinduism says NO MEAT SHALL BE EATEN; ANIMALS SHALL NOT DIE.Other religions say EAT MEAT; I DUN CARE. They cannot both be right, that would make it one man feeling an elephant and the other two feeling a tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frlf Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 Frlfy - Yah. Don't look down upon me because of it. How can we know anything that happened 2 million years ago or even 500' date='000 years ago? We can't. So that disproves a lot that atheists put out. Just saying. Atheists can't show me how the dinosaurs died off either.[/quote'] Nah, I won't. The most reliable thing humans have is science. Thats what we have. Religion can't also prove what happened 5 million years ago. We have a book written by humans, that said that God spoke to them. Meh, I don't really have a good argument against that xP. EDIT: Dark: In the bible, a disciple (John?) had a dream (Aka vision) that God showed him a lot of dead animals and meats, and that he could eat them. Thats how Christians started to eat dead animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~Shore Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 How did I miss this. A debatish thread. And Dark believing in god. I can hardly contain myself. I can't *pees pants* I don't know if there is a god or not, but I know that if there was, I would not worship him. I don't want there to be a supreme being, for my fate to be determined, for someone to be running my life, etc. That would be a real downer.

Well, you asked why some were different.Well just like me.Some just lose faith, some think some facts are wrong and need to evolve, and shiz. And thats why some eat meat and some not. Same with languages, how could Australians have an accent, English people another one, and Americans yet ANOTHER one?

Satanism isn't God's word perverted, its just Satan's word. Satanism, when practiced properly, contains no relevance to Satan or god literally. An atheist could actually practice Satanism if they wanted to. Satanism is centering life around yourself so that only you benefit from your life and that nobody else does. Basically, Satanism is just being egotistical to the furthest degree. Traditional Satanism (Devil Worshiping), however, is when a bunch of morons dress up like animals and talk about how much god sucks. :| Imma ramble some more later.

Corinthian Posted May 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Alright. Atheists know that there is NOT a God. Other religions believe that there is a God. So, you can either choose to believe, or know. The point of religion is to believe, whatever it may be. There is no proof. If there was such proof for a God, religion and science fact will be the same, which it cannot. So, therefore, neither side is right or wrong, just simply different. And there is nothing wrong with being different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
