Re: God

We are all fearful, egotistic, ignorant and accepting, it is the degree to which we are that is important. Keep playing Russian roulette with yourself.

What is important is whether or not those traits interfere with epistemology.

Russian roulette?

Re: God

interesting opinions dudes lets keep em coming.

and wow Stark you aint gonna convince anyone with just insults. care to explain what your views are in a logical way and what makes them as valid as mine?

They are not insults; they are harsh truths. I'm not expecting to change anyone's views. And I'm not going to start a full religion debate because it is old and useless. It's been done many times just on this forum and leads no where because people are complacent in their blindness. If you really care to experience the arguments against supernatural beliefs and you feel you have the intellectual ability to understand them you can read books by all of the standard author: Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, A.J. Ayers, Baruch Spinoza, Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, Michael Shermer, David Hume, Bertrand Russell and so on. I'm not willing to say much more than there isn't a single argument by people who support supernatural thought that has not been defeated by the logic of the other side and you can take that however you like.

Not everyone are believers in "god" is that so hard to except?

I'll ignore the fact that this is a false dichotomy and just say that religion is a disgusting festering disease and a mockery of the potential of the human mind. There isn't even a higher order of organism above humans on this planet and I'm still embarrassed by these things I need to call my fellow man walking about imagining crap because someone told them to or because they think it'll make them feel better. It's delusion at it's most disturbing. There are no gods, no fairies, no souls, no ghost, no demons, no chakras, no astrological systems... Nobody is watching you. Nobody is protecting you. Nobody is judging you. Nobody is creating stupid little rules for you to follow so you can reap some reward. Quasars and quarks and dark matter and brown dwarfs and black holes and nebulae and neutrinos and gamma rays could not care less about how you live your infinitely short life. It's pathetic and childish to believe in things that are not there. Things that manifest themselves in your pathetic, flawed, vague little "feelings." Religion's connection to human fears and egotism is incredible transparent and ridiculous. Choose to evolve to a higher being and drop this supernatural nonsense. Read a real book. Grow up and let go of your imaginary friends so I no longer have to classify you as mentally diseased.

Thank you! God may not exist but there is something called geniuses...

No, it takes fear of the unknown, egotism, discomfort with one's ignorance and blind acceptance of the beliefs of familial and community elders. It takes no strength at all.

It takes more inner strength to be a believer.

Re: God

If someone’s blind and can’t see colors, light, darkness, the sun, the moon, all the stars and planets that people talk about them all the time it doesn’t mean they don’t exist. A materialist, self-centered person cannot see, feel or even come close to understanding the spiritual world which is not physical at all. By reading few philosophy or science books will not allow you to understand or see it. The more you attach yourself to the physical or material world and the more you concentrate on yourself, stay away from spiritual world; it will stay away from you too. Don’t think it will chase you and beg you to become a believer.
Everyone’s free to believe or not believe in God, but I don’t understand one thing though, is why non believers always bad mouth or bash God and believers.

I agree
