Thread: Proof that there is a god (video)

If you don't already have the answer to this question you are a pretty poor atheist.

What the heck is that supposed to mean? I know why I don't believe in god. I don't know, why every fucking atheist feels they have some sort of mission to make everyone who believes in god change their mind. As far as I'm concerned, the belief in god is a total non-issue because he doesn't exist. If someone believes otherwise, unless it's making them do wacked out bad shit, what the fuck is the problem?

I don't believe in god. I also do believe that people who don't share that belief are worthy of respect. How the hell does that make me a poor atheist?

I think more what he's asking is: what difference does it make to you weather someone else believes in something imaginary? Why do you care? Why does everyone have to believe the same thing you do?

p much, but this thread was a clusterfuck beyond saving from the very beginning. I think this is the most retardedly uncompromising and unconstructive "debate" (I use the term loosely) I've seen in like the last couple of months, and that includes BOTH Obama threads

I agree this thread sucks but why stop now?

To address "why care if someone else believes in something imaginary"... really it's embarrassing that it even needs to be explained.

When one man is motivated to destroy another because the imaginary things they believe in differ, there is a reason to care.

When one man condemns another to a sub-human status because they don't live according to the things proscribed by their imaginary thing, there is a reason to care.

When we all have to share the same air with these people, there is a problem. Aggressive atheism seeks to change other people because those people can't sit still and let everyone else live their lives. I have nothing wrong with spirituality (I think it's still sort of pathetic but harmless anyway), it's when people damn the lives of others simply because they don't share the same mental deficiency ("faith") that I feel like there's an evil in the world that needs to be destroyed.

You didn't misread it, but it was a typo.

It's worth pointing out that my argument, from the beginning, made the statement "So when a person who is otherwise a good person believes in god, what the fuck does it matter?" I'm not talking about people who do terrible things in the name of religion. I was taking issue with the sort of attitude made by Malice whereby anon said she was selfless, giving, and caring, and Malice said, well it doesn't matter because you believe in god. I think that's an awfully bad set of priorities.

Your stance made significantly less character judgment, but still, I didn't understand why it seemed so necessary to grill a person who from all evidence was a pretty solid person, for their belief in god. I agree with you that people who do bad things because of their belief in god need to be reigned in, but that doesn't mean you ought to go and take down the good people with them.

I read the beginning of this thread and saw large amounts of XP being handed out. Therefore, can I make a pointless, baseless religious post and get tons of XP? Pretty Please! I'm saving up for a custom username thingy but i normally waste all of mine away in the casino.


sooooooo......... yeahhhhh..........


Yay God! Fuck Satan! Atheists are evil liberals who glide through the night sky stealing children to feed upon them in their lairs and have socialized gay sex with them! Boo everyone who isn't Jesus or God or that Spirit dude who never made sense to fucking anyone!

Peace! Love! And Happniess for all!

Now lets to kill all those people we don't like, becuase God totally wants us to! Yay!








(Also, TPR deserves credit for the gliding night sky part)
