"The Universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements: energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest." G'Kar-B5
Welcome. I hope be provide a little breath of unpious air.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
Piety in atheism is no vice!
Belief is no virtue !!! :wtf:
Feel free to rant whenever you wish. Being surrounded by jesus freaks is my idea of hell.
Damit Losty.. I want all these cookies you be handing out but they're surely not gluten free! ads:
Ah well at least we got us a Siren! Welcome and hello. My names Luckieme and I run shit around here (just joking). Actually I was just modded and the power is getting to my head!
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.
Welcome op.
I always hated the hand holding at family gatherings. Seemed so contrived and phony. (July 19, 2014 at 1:57 pm)Luckie Wrote: Damit Losty..

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
