I find self-interest is a much more useful reason to treat others well than whatever evolution did for you.
Quote:Reasons I believe in shaytan/ devil/demons is because of the bad emotions I supose all of us have felt such as unjust anger for instance. Also dreams I had at times wich I have discused before on this forum when my username was Ervin.
Anger is not itself unjust... but an amount of anger held may or may not be deserved. It's a value.
If we're going into dreams, am I to suppose penis tipped tentacles are real? I'd really like that.... but I've to wait a few years yet
Quote: Yet, I have to remind you that I don't actualy subbscribe to any official Theism yet I believe that it contains the truth. like all the stuf they tell you is I believe right and the stuff they hide when they firstly introduce you to their religions is most likely not true.
The truth? Everything is a delusion... what truth you seek is naught more than consistency of a perpetually propagated lie
Quote:So I supose that we can look at the same evidence and come to diferent conclusions(evolution/God).
Actually, we can't. We can no more look at the same evidence than we can have the same eyes. We come to different conclusions because the data is different.
Quote:Or maybe someone has some sort of specific scientific explanation that they would like to share. I would like to hear it.
Although you would love to hear some sort of specific scientific explanation for something or other... I'd like to know what the heck it is you're trying to ask here first

And yet the world is tangible. Very convenient for a god who created it
And I wonder how we could have someone else's biased opinion... or an opinion without bias... or a bias without opinion...

Anyone that considers us to have evolved as social creatures, for one
Quote:Does the devil create "bad" emotions??? For that matter, what are bad emotions???
Bad emotions are happiness, cheerfulness, joviality, compassion, love, and other such horribly evil things that shouldn't exist but do.

Quote:Even your Jesus is recorded as having and displaying both anger and sorrow.
As he should, he being the mighty son of god that is god and all that powerfully good and moving proper emotion.
Quote:Evidence is proof. With the proper evidence our conclusions should be the same. If they are not the same than the "evidence" is not the same either.
Not much evidence is proof... else every clue as to who done it would lead immediately to a strong conclusion that ends up being considered true
Unless we were the same, it would be a great deal to expect the same from us
