The most important reason anyone is an atheist

[Esquilax]

Because he's a moron of the highest degree? I've never seen anyone online with such delusions. I've said it before, but he'd be amazing to study in a lab somewhere. He'd really give great insight into how delusions can destroy your mind whilst making it seem that you've become 'enlightened'.

I just prefer that my chew toys actually be aware that they're being chewed on; it's no fun chomping away while the thing's just babbling like an idiot. I want at least a cursory attempt to fight back!

What happen when physical science discover a medication for a certain disease?
That disease will stop manifesting in a certain way so science can say that that disease has been eradicated but unfortunately the cause that provoke that disease is still there so will have to find a different way to manifest itself or creating a new disease or affecting the body or mind in different way.

Well thats strange indeed!
I live in the UK and there hasn't been one reported case of polio or the Black Plague in years. I wonder if that has anything to do with doctors finding cures for them.
No, enrico is probably right. These diseases are probably running rampant and the government is covering them up

First of all let me congratulate with you for having the good sense to change your name.
I guess you realized that a rational man has nothing to do with talking bullshit as you do all the time.
Any way now that i deal with a bad wolf it feel more in tune with what you are saying.
Coming back to your post we got the same old problem.
I already explained to you that reading without understanding what you read and not remembering what you read is pointless.
I never said that medical science was or is not good in eradicating this or that disease as you claimed i said.
I instead said that as soon as a particular disease is eradicated there will pop up a new disease or instead the body or mind will be affected as the cause that trigger that disease is still there therefore a new effect will have to manifest in one way or another.
As we can see hospitals, rehabilitation centers and nursing home are full of sick people.
If you are correct they would be almost empty but NOT they are so full that sick people have no room to stay and they are parked in corridors.
Why i know that?
It happened that for the last 23 years i worked as wordsman and now as nurse in rehab centers and nursing homes and having to take sick people to hospital time to time i know how the system works.
You haven't got a clue and yet you want to show your usual arrogance and argue about things that you do not know.
The guy that has been elected as the new premier here in QLD. has already started to close public nursing homes and now is starting to privatize hospital by stealth.
Why?
Too many people are sick and too much money are needed so we will end up like in the US where you can die in the street if you haven't got money.
In other word your post express your lack of knowledge in all field of life.
How sad.

That entire paragraph stinks of hypocricy and lies so much that i'm considering reporting it for spam

You said that i was talking bullshit when i said that medical science is not gaining any progress.
I show you that that is not the case and now you say that the........ entire paragraph stinks of hypocricy.
As i already said the problem lie with you guys.
You are used to deal with religious dogma which are quite easy to knock down but not with truth and when you have to deal with truth you do not know what to do but to mix up the water in the hope that everything goes away.
I recently have been kicked out from the catholic forum as well for highlight their dogmas.
It would be unfortunately if the same thing happen here as well but that is life.
Life of someone denouncing real hypocrisy.

You say you have truth, and naturally you think you are right. But every other theist here thinks they are right as well. Nothing differentiates you from them, you are not special. You also need to provide evidence for your assertions and claims or no one is going to believe you

You see!
I just told you about the hospital system in real trouble as the sick people grow more and more with no relieve in sight and you now tell me to bring evidence.
If you want evidence just walk in any public hospital and see sick people parked in corridors.
If is true what you say that medical science is solving so many problem how come that the health system is now in deep trouble and out of control?
I wonder if you ever think before you come down with your claims?

Are you really implying that medical technology has not improved over time and that, in fact, more people are sick and dying than before?
You really are an idiot. Back in the Middle Ages, I think you will find that there were a few more sick people around then than there are today. Hell, it was rare for people to live into their 50s.
And you are suggesting that medical science isn't working?
Go do some fucking research you ignorant fuckwit.
The work we're doing on cancer and aids. How we cured polio and all those other diseases that are prevelent in 3rd world countries today.
To even suggest that medical science isn't solving our problems is ridiculous.
And what is ironic is because of these comments of yours, I think you need a doctor.
Whatever mental illness you are suffering from, due to medical science, there is probably a drug to help you with it.

The fact that the hospital near you is too full of sick people, does not prove anything about the state of medical science.
I went to a hospital recently, and guess what I saw. There was barely anyone in there. It was almost a ghost hospital.
Do you see how irrelevant that is? And how ridiculous it is to judge the condition of medical science based on a few hospitals in a few areas. Even judging all the hospital in a whole country would not be a sufficient sample size to justify your judgement that medical science is not working. You could go to africa and observe all the hospitals there and you would come away from that concluding that most of the world has below average medical care.
Get some damn perspective

We are not talking about medical technology.
We are talking about the fact that medical science is not able to eradicate disease as a whole.
Once a disease is eradicate an other pop up so we are not getting anywhere.

You really are an idiot. Back in the Middle Ages, I think you will find that there were a few more sick people around then than there are today. Hell, it was rare for people to live into their 50s.

How stupid you are.
You call me idiot and then say that you report me for spamming!
Beside in the middle ages we had different diseases today we got different one.
Dementia, parkinson, diabetes, different type of cancer and so on are out of control and you say that today is better because the life span is longer.
I have seen people wishing to die as soon as possible as they can not stand the agony.
What's the point to live longer when your body slowly rot down?

And you are suggesting that medical science isn't working?
Go do some fucking research you ignorant fuckwit.

I never said is not working, i instead said that is only helping us to stay afloat.
Again your usual problem is that when you read you do not understand and remember what you read so wake up and grow up instead calling yourself ignorant fuckwit.

Go in the public hospitals not in private clinics and see if you find many empty beds.

Thats because viruses that cause these illnesses and disease, change through mutation. They evolve. Thats why we don't have a cure for the common cold. So the only way medical science will make progress in your eyes, is if it eradicates illness altogether. You really aren't in the real world are you?

How stupid you are.

Those aren't even diseases, fuck me you are so ignorant. Those are genetic faults, they are not diseases.

and you say that today is better because the life span is longer.

Yes, life is a lot better today. People died in their 40s back then from illnesses and diseases that could have been easily cured if only they were as advanced as we are today.

I have seen people wishing to die as soon as possible as they can not stand the agony.

I am so sorry if i misinterpret what you say. But you can't string together a coherent sentance. It is hardly my fault if I don't understand you.

It was a public hospital dickwad

I see what you're getting at, but you're forgetting a few key factors. Firstly, not only has the average life expectancy increased, but the number of people surviving to that age as also increased - the global population has quadrupled in the last 100 years. A lot of illnesses, diseases and conditions that primarily affect the elderly will occur much more frequently, simply because there are more elderly people to be affected by them.

Another point worth mentioning is that our ability to recognise and diagnose new illnesses has definitely improved, so a lot of those "new" illnesses aren't new at all.

There are also a range of factors in modern day life that can contribute to things such as cancer, many of which we have yet to determine, but it is undeniable that our ability to diagnose, treat and cure such diseases and conditions has dramatically improved.


I think the most important thing to consider when discussing the amount of empty hospital beds is the number of hospital beds per capita. I think it's that percentage going down, rather the number of illnesses going up, which is causing the problem.
