[X Æ A-12]

Kyle I don't believe in God because of damnation its not at all like that.

Good for you. I'm still not going to buy into some nonsense just to believe in something.

This conversation is starting to become tedious as shit. Some of the dumbest rhetorical questions I've ever seen asked as if they're not and actually deserve to be answered. We need a rule where religion talk is disallowed, or at least people who won't stop talking about it.

The debate will continue going in circles. This and Marchisio vs. Vidal of course.

It isn't allowed outside the religion section, so maybe a good idea would be not coming to the religion section?

Don't like it stay out if the threads that talk about it. Leave the others who like to discuss this on both sides alone. no one makes you read or respond

I remember once Richard Dawkins was being interviewed on an american late night talk, forgot which one, and he was going off about how religion is irrational, illogical, for simpletons etc, so the host asked him "Ok you dislike religion we understand, but tell us, what does science say about the point of our existence?" (something along those lines. Dawkins responded "science hasn't figured that out yet". So the host responded "Come back to us when it does". And Dawkins was absolutely stumped like never before.

That really sums up the whole "argument" science is not interested in meaning

That's fine but I was just telling you that because many believe that is why most believe in God and that is just not true

At least Marchisio vs Vidal is funny.

True. But how many times are these same sentiments going to be repeated for?

That would be the Bill O'Reilly show, I saw that video.

What is your view on the meaning of life? Why are you living on this planet according to you?

Once again you don't like it don't partake obviously you always come into these discussions almost looking for something

What is your view on the meaning of life? Why are you on living?

As a Christian I believe that this life is a journey to make my path learn my lessons and decide do I want to live for eternity with my God or live in my selfishness in Hell

No it doesn't that's a fucking stupid thing to say. All that proves is that atheists aren't just making up answers where they have none (unlike the other side).

That's fine but I was just telling you that because many believe that is why most believe in God and that is just not true

Most people believe in god because deep down they are happy having someone else think for them, tell them what to do and feel and they like feeling a part of something important in the scheme of things. And of course there are always other willing to provide elaborate fantasies for them to believe in.

I was hoping for another brain comment but now it seem like it's just boring back and forth.

That immediately makes it invalid and inadmissible in this discussion

Fair enough.

I wouldn't like to praise the dear leader in his celestial North Korea for eternity (got that from Hitchens) though.

I agree, Bill O'Reilly is a moron. He is so simple minded that it's quite sad.

Nice pseudo psychoanalysis. I learned so much about myself.

Look up O'reilly vs. Marylin Manson if you haven't seen it yet. Manson is so much smarter than him it's not even funny.
