Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite. Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment. Quote:Some people deserve hell. I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
Actual footage!!
Wow. To think that this is actual footage of the small white dot next to saturn in my telescope... I don't understand how anyone can remained unmoved by this.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
Having worked in aerospace as a career, I agree. This was a real coup for all people involved.

God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!
I have these "how cool would that be" moments, usually brought on by science fiction or some science of the future, and those moments are constantly being countered by what we actually have now in the real world. For example, seeing a movie like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings populated with a crazy array of unique characters with special looks and abilities, but then appreciating the wide range of diversity we have and learning about incredible abilites, like the kids from the Moken tribe in Thailand having amazing eye sight under water:

You hear about other planets and moons where a certain gas here is in liquid form there, and you think "how cool would it be to visit that". Then Earth reminds you "Hey, we got liquid rock, man" Pretty fucking cool. [Youtube]N3wfTAxWxpw[/youtube]
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay." For context, this is the previous verse: "Hi Jesus" -robvalue |
