The supreme arrogance of religious thinking

RE: The supreme arrogance of religious thinking
Quote:Nero never heard of xtians. That was all a much later invention.

Are you a conspiracy theorist?
Do you also believe in Fema camps?

Quote:Those other religions got it absolutely right. The world does indeed exist in cycles, perhaps the universe does as well...

Really? How do we know this?
I was listening to a Dawkins foundation video and it was saying that our current maths do not withsand the origin of the universe. You dont even have a hypothesis, you have an idea, like Descartes, I think therefore I am.

Quote:I'm quite disheartened -talking to atheists on here- that they still display the same selfish, short term benefit/long term disadvantage and destructive individualistic mentality and behaviour patterns as the christians. I mean, once you've overcome their belief that "man is better than nature" and "god made the world for us", surely your mind begins to deal with the concept that man is in fact a part of the natural world, and that man should obey it.. surely?

I dont believe those two statements either, does that make me an atheist?
Quote:Some interesting reading:

Indeed. It would be incredible if the universe did go in cycles! However, our understanding of science limits us, that we cant theorise something like that. However, a big bang it possibly with our maths and understanding, but perhaps that model is correct, who really knows, only God does...
Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.

You dont hate God, you hate the church game.

"God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed." Saint Augustine

Your mind works very simply: you are either trying to find out what are God's laws in order to follow them; or you are trying to outsmart Him. -Martin H. Fischer
