Even if you don't believe in God, believe that you're supposed to capitalize proper nouns. Just busting your balls
Lizzle Wrote:I am sick and tired of people who assume that everyone believes in 'morality' (because there is 'only one way of looking at morality'.. hah! ...that was sarcasm). Just the other day I was watching one of the Law and Order shows (my favorite is SVU, but this was a different one) and I literally had to shut off the TV because the end of the show came down to stuff based on 'god' versus the legal system. I was just so perturbed by this.. I mean, seriously? Can we please use our logic here?
I think Law and Order is win when they take current events and inject them into the series.
Lizzle Wrote:Look, I don't have a problem if someone believes in god, but if it's 'assumed' that I believe in one or I'm asked about my 'religion,' I'm going to tell the truth. I'm an atheist and I have been for years. The world is/has been made of science. Sure, I believe Jesus and stuff existed, or something, but I do always say to keep in mind that a number of drugs were big back then. In addition, Jesus likely had schizophrenia characterized by grandiose delusions ('I am the son of god!'). I'm not trying to be condoning, I believe this is a likely possibility.
People assume that others are like them because it's human nature. We shouldn't be so judgmental as they.
Lizzle Wrote:Oh yeah, Hitler.
I'm going to invoke Godwin's Law. Jesus wasn't known for gassing people or starting wars. If anything, his followers were delusional. Maybe they even made him up. And Hitler had more problems than religion.
Lizzle Wrote:Scientology is no more ridiculous and illogical than christianity. That's right, not at all.
Scientology started out malicious and the founder was a felon/known science fiction writer. The religion incorporates themes from far out science fiction novels. Christianity is way more believable.
Lizzle Wrote:All you have is you "faith." Faith is a blind belief; a belief that you hold based on no evidence. That is rather foolish, in my opinion.
I once showed you the definition in which faith isn't blind. This is simply not true in all cases, but in context you are correct.
Lizzle Wrote:The world is not black and white, dude. I don't hate goodness ("light?"). How could a nurse hate goodness..?
Forgive me for pointing it out, but how do we know that of a nurse in a world which is not black and white? DUN DUN DUN

Read it, everyone!
NO! That study isn't scientific. This is the type of stuff that only makes the debate more incendiary.
EDIT: Refined what I said for everyone's sake
