"GOD" Why or why not?[views:12859][posts:93]_____________________________________ [Feb 2,2004 7:40pm - swamplorddvm ""] Think about it, just think about it. |

| _____________________________________ [Feb 2,2004 8:05pm - swamplorddvm ""] Thats why i said "why or why not?" If you are for him tell why. If not tell why but keep it taste full |
| _______________________________ [Feb 2,2004 8:09pm - retzam ""] I say there are too many things in the universe unexplained to think 100% either way that there is a God (or gods) or not. Science proves many things wrong about Christianity, but nothing can or ever will prove the exsistance or non-exsistance of a God. There is nothing wrong with believing or not believing unless you are 100% one way, which is folly. |

In due time people will realize this but this will take a very long time. Just believe in whatever you want, but don't be a follower. I doubt there is an all powerful being that controls everything and anything |

| _____________________________________ [Feb 3,2004 11:57am - RustedAngel ""] what do you guys think about people having near death experiences and explaining the experience of seeing a bright light, ect ect? when my great-grandmother was dying, my family all were gathered around her in her hospital bed as she died. from what everyone tells me that was in there with her she apparently reached her arm out into the air and my family told her to "go towards the light" then she died. I don't believe in god, I have never been baptised, or brough up with any religious background...but I think it's kind of wierd when people almost die but come back to life and explain what happend. The way I think of it is "I'll find out when I die." >:] |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 3,2004 12:05pm - deificzero ""] If you've ever done certain mind altering drugs, you would know that when your brain looses oxygen, hallucinations can occur and your mind is somewhat "set free" and wanders through different thoughts, much like a dream. Also, when your brain shuts down, senses can still be active like hearing and feeling. When people die, their senses are active for hours and maybe days, depending on the sickness. |

| ______________________________________ [Feb 3,2004 12:38pm - the_reverend ""] deificzero is sort of right... the bright light is reported to be cause by exploding brain cells due to lack of oxygen. same things happens to divers that have no oxygen. its sort of like tunnel vision. |

The way I think of it is "I'll find out when I die." >:] That's pretty much the way it is for me too. Also, regarding that rather large post swamplord, how come the author doesn't mention that Jesus had nothing to do with the writing of the Bible? The bible was written by the apostles, loosely based on the teachings of Jesus. How then is it "his" (god's) book, when he, and his son, had nothing to do with the writing of it, whether he exists or not? What do those initials stand for at the bottom (is this a really ignorant question? I have a feeling it is)? Whoever it is, they are sorely mistaken in their reasonings. Now, regarding that sign, are you Dick Hurtz? |

Please explain why you think so, and if you don't mind explain you opinions about "god". |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 4,2004 1:25pm - swamplorddvm ""] Retzam, twat i meant by "his" book whas the old testament. (remeber there are two.) and yes "god" or "his" son did NOT write the book, twas abunch of humans. The book (the first testament) is supposed to be about twat "god" did and twat "he" wants from us and how this crappy world was created. And most of that crap written in the first book is WHACK especially the stuff about the earth being created in, what was it? A week or so. HA!!! My reasons why i don't believe in god. Look to science people, it explains alot more the the bible ever will. DVM are MY initials. |

In "him" I choose not to believe. -DVM dude that is beyond true. i have several books on atheism (unfortunately i haven't gotten around to reading most of them yet, i've taken a reading break as of late) but one book i read is sheer brilliance as far as proving Christianity wrong. it's called Atheism: The Case Against God by George H. Smith. in simple terms, he dissects the very concept of the Christian god and gives logical reasons as to how "he" cannot exist. case in point: it is said that God is Omniscient and Omnipotent, all knowing and all powerful. now that's ALL knowing and ALL powerful. meaning there is nothing he doesn't know, and there is nothing he cannot do. so think about this. if god knows what the future is, then he cannot change the future. the future is out of god's control. if he could change the future, then he simply has an idea of the what the future could be, which any mere mortal could do. so basically, not even god can be both omniscient and omnipotent. Also, if god does know what the future holds, why did he even bother creating mankind? he could see what a failed experiment we would become. he already knew of WW2, 9/11, ect. well before he even created us. if he "loves" us so much, why would he have created us to put us through that kind of suffering and chaos? i once saw a movie where a man was preaching at a church. he picked up a woman's baby, held the baby out to the crowd and said "look at this child. this beautiful little child. look at his hands. now i don't have enough love for this child, to drive a stake through his hands.......... god does." does anyone else see the absolute insanity in that statement??????? finally, my favorite of all my arguments in this subject, one that i discovered myself. for any of you that might have a bible at home, open it up and read Genesis 6:6. it says "and god felt regrets that he had made men in the earth, and he felt hurt in his heart." basically what that means is, god made a mistake creating mankind. it was wrong of him to create us.....wait a second....... i thought god was infallible. think about that. |

Always going around killing all those dinosaurs? Man that was a bummer. Anyway, all you guys are doing is over and over again proving that the Christian god can't exsist as the bible says he is, infallible, omnipotent, etc. Do you realize that Christianity is a relatively new religion and most other, and older, religions don't recognize God, or in most cases, the gods, as infallible beings? Why not discuss the gods of ancient Greece, Rome, etc. How about the Norse gods? All of you are too dead set on proving the bible wrong (when in fact the bible isn't even the basis of Christianity) that you are forgetting about the major picture here. And swamplord, you didn't answer my second question ("Are you Dick Hurtz?"). Please someone get that joke. |

| _________________________________ [Feb 4,2004 11:59pm - tbone_r ""] Although i don't believe in god, Kalopsia's statement was pretty weak. There is no way to prove there is no god. All you have proven is that that type of God doesn't exist. Science can only go as far as to prove that all aspects of life are possible with out a God-which it pretty much has. That, however, does not mean that there is no god at all. And your attempt at saying that 'god' is suppossed to be the protector of man is weak as well. According to christians, whose god ur trying to disprove, god created man w/ free will...so if people start WW2, or 9/11 he's forced to sit back and watch. anyways, go to the Ken Haskell/In My Sorrow show the 6th at the kingston k of c-8pm. It's ken haskell's debut show and it should be a doosey goin to town with one in the brown -tom:shocker: |
| _________________________________ [Feb 5,2004 1:02am - Kalopsia ""] i never said there was no god. i truly don't know if there is or isn't one. if i had to choose though, i'd say there isn't. i was simply proving falcities with the christian god. someone brought up a good point before, if we have free will, why are we punished for using that free will? (example, lust) if the answer is because god wants/expects us to do what he believes is the "right" thing, then that's not free will. |

I believe Mark Twain's got this covered. I forget the name, but the one where the guy animated clay and then killed the people. God (in concept) gave us free will, knowing that it'll turn out badly. In reality (as I see it), God, god, gods, crop circles, magical runes, etc... are all just our human brains trying to make sense out of things. And hell, what's the most senseless thing? Death? yep, and so it goes that all the religion base on explaining this... and maybe giving meaning to death (afterlife). What's the second mystery? where we came from? these are all things to put people's minds at easy so they can focus on the daily stuff. I see no problem in people beliving in christ or buddha or the anhk around their neck or whatever if it helps them get through life to do the things they have to do. just don't step on anyone else's toes. oh and christ was just like michael jackson... he was black and then became white. though now jesus is used in the name of people hating blacks... which is a whole other ball of wax. love thy brother. |
