Jinkies Zeus it was just a silly troll. Sorry if I ruffled anyone's feathers. |

Ah yes, Pascal's Wager. But how do you know you're choosing the right God? You could end up in some other religion's hell. |

JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I specified a God? I said "Jesus" just for an association to make so people would get what I meant. I'm basically playing it safe. I believe there is "something", rather than just being a retard headed for hell. Seems safer to me to have faith and be wrong than it would to not have faith and be wrong |

Hey, what if the Hare Krishnas are right and you get reincarnated as a slug? |
||||||||

I don't see why someone feels the need to post a sarcastic thread basically making fun of a particular religion... fucking grow up... |

"I don't know how to love him" Show Jesus you love him by giving Benny Hinn your credit card. |

why do you care so much? you're an atheist (apparently), it shouldn't matter to you what someone else has chosen to believe. you'd have to believe in a god in the first place in order to denounce the idea or contradict the belief. the reason can't exist without the idea. it's circular logic basically. if you say "there is no god", then obviously at the very least the word exists in your mind, which technically means you believe the term 'god' exists just enough to say you don't believe in god... confusing huh? that's why it sucks to be an atheist and/or moron... also, you have no one to scream out to during sex |

yes, YES!! OH JESUS,GOD YES!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I actually read that as Benny Hill for a minute.... can you picture Benny running around healing people in sped-up motion with that playing? |

I scream "BILE!" during sex. So what you're saying is, because I have the concept of Santa Claus, therefore he exists? I better get some fine gifts this Christmas. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
again, why do you care? just go be bitter and keep your opinion all ya want, you won't change the world or anyone else just because you don't happen to agree |

Bill Hicks on Christians that wear crosses around their necks: "You think when Jesus comes back he's ever gonna want to see a fucking cross again?" |
||||||||

|

Of course as a Newfoundlander you have a unique experience of Christianity... one might say the Brothers have "drilled it into you". |

|

but if you want to go at a psychological aspect, then yes: if a person sincerely believes Santa exists, then to them he does. it might not be the same for anyone else, but in their mind it's true, therefor technically, it is. |
||||||||
|

just be 'nice' fleet. most gods are down with niceness. |
||||||||
|

I have the mental image of Santa travelling on a sex tour of Thailand, getting out of that hot red felt suit and gittin' all greased up and rolling in a tub full of naked squealing sluts. God, I hope it's true. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well I never went to a catholic school... so the brothers never got a chance... but it is pretty lame to poke fun at something like a particular religion... |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

Bad fleetmouse. Bad! No more trolling. *spank* ooo i like that *spank* |
||||||||
|

|

I went to a Christian school for my entire schooling life..... I developed my hate for the Christian religion that way. Sorry. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you have a dislike for the religion fine... but why poke fun at it? Why poke fun at the people who do believe in it? What good comes from that... hmmm, sorry... I'm just really sensitive to religion issues... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
True man, true... btw, is your religion... sticking up for religions? ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
religion is igorance |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, in some ways I'm against religion... I believe if you want to be a christian, read the bible and that's that... all these rules for each religion is just bullshit... but I do think that each religion has sacred ideas and beliefs within them that are sacred to some people, and it's not my place to judge, or poke fun of someone for believing them, if I don't... |

I went to a Catholic highschool. They never did anything particularly evil or even interesting. I just thought they were playing a weird game of pretending to believe in something ludicrous for reasons I could never fathom. Later when I became more politically aware I realized why they were doing it, and how the promise of eternal damnation or paradise is like a brain-handle that lets you pick a man up and put him wherever you want. So basically I hate religion because it is an exploitative tool used by the cynical against the ignorant. To me religious people are like those sad lifeless trekkies who learn to speak Klingon and spend all their time devising newer and better latex forehead bumps to wear at conventions. And the tenets of most religions are no less absurd. |
||||||||

| |||||||||
|
|
in a lot of ways I'm against religion I should say... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that and more |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
organized religion sucks a big fat hairy one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why is someone absurd if they choose to believe that there is a God out there? How does anyone know that there isn't one? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't prove that there is no God. So I suppose that means there might be one. And I can't prove that there isn't an intelligent race of microscopic teakettles in your spleen, so I guess that's also a possibility. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think that's the whole point you've gotta work it out for yourself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
organized religion has more to do with society than with God. therefore i say it sucks. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but how can you be so absolute and come out and say that people are absurd for believing in a religion then? Let people believe what they want... and quit judging and making fun of them for it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is the whole point... but the thing I'm saying is don't judge other people and call them stupid for their beliefs because no one knows the final outcome of everything... so know one is in a position to rightfully say "You're absurd" to someone else... |
||||||||
|

Just about every argument in favor of religion is squashed like a bug daily . |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
religion is a set of rules that you get told your own spirituality is something you come to understand yourself |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
not really... because if a religion is true I don't believe that we have the understanding to actually be able to "squash" the arguements... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Would you like to squash peoples lives? forget organized religeon, do you find it fun/interesting to make some peoples lives be worthless fleet? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but no one religion is true |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, well spirituality is what I'm refering to I guess... sorry for the misuse of religion... I totally agree... religion is what you're told, like you said... spirituality you have to find yourself... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how do you know this? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know you find it fun at the moment but maybe you are stepping on ground you don't know! check me!!!! taking the moral high ground on something I don't know anything about! anyway....fleet, answer the question. |

Listen, if you want to sit at home and let your spleen buddies brew you a nice cuppa, that's fine. But (al)most (all) people who believe in one God or another want to enforce their beliefs on everyone else. And to me those beliefs have are or are based upon prima facie absurdities. And I don't want my world run by people who seek to base civilization, morals and politics on blatant fairy tales. You wanna go live in a theocracy, move to one. They'll be happy to repress your women, cut the clits off your daughter just for being born female, and stone you to death or burn you at the stake for posting ideas like mine. If you're defending religion out of a misguided sense of niceness or political correctness then you just haven't thought this thing through. Think about it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
religion has more to do with this world, spirituality has more to do with the beyond. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I just get so annoyed by the arrogant views of some people who say "There is no God, and that's that!!"... you don't know that... I believe in God, I choose to believe in God... but I'm not going to say to someone who believes in hinduism that they're wrong, because I wouldn't do that to someone... and plus, I don't care... their beliefs don't bother me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
harsh but good point. fuck, i hate agreeing. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have neither the desire nor the ability to make anyone's life be worthless. What exactly are you talking about? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no-one's mentioned believing because they need to. and a lot of people need to. but let them. who cares? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you believe what you want, and I'll believe what I want... but you're a fucking asshole if you poke fun at me or someone else for their beliefs... |
