Yes I pick on all religions.

'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House “Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom "If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech (September 10, 2014 at 9:31 am)fr0d0 Wrote: The observable chemical reactions in the brain are not like God. You could feel love for God in the same way that you feel love for another person. You might be able to scientifically map the reaction. The reaction, however, is not love, or God. It's a reaction to them/ the feelings induced by thoughts of them. Nope. That "love" you feel is your own misfire of perception. It is not love, it is pining after an idea. Much like I thought it was "love" wanting that girl in church to date me when I was a teen. Loving the idea of a god is what is going on. Just like Muslims love the idea of Allah existing. Much like that girl never loved me even though I thought I loved her. Like I said, our species flawed perceptions lead us to "feel" things over mere desire and not anything real itself.

So are you going to address any of my points Brian or keep on burning your own straw man? I've had enough now of saying to you that my own belief has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with feelings. Any more pointless posts will be ignored.

I've had enough now of saying to you that my own belief has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with feelings. Any more pointless posts will be ignored. NO straw man going on. YOU not me talked about chemical reactions describing "love" and once again fail to see that others with other god claims fall for the same false positive. Go back to the OP read it and keep re reading it until you get it. You think you are doing something unique in human history when the reality is that you are not.
I didn't say that about chemical reactions, which shows you haven't understood what I was talking about there.
I'm certainly not claiming originality. My experience is the same as most of the Christians I know. You're still the one who champions the closed mind. To you you already know everything there is to know, and there no way you could be wrong. You need to think I'm unique because you want to believe you're own closed ideas.
Nothing original. I agree. So if you admit you are not doing anything original, then why do you believe in a god?
You believe because you like the idea of a god, not because you have any evidence for one. I'll let Brian address the obvious strawman

"Straw man" They cant cut through the crap and look at a simple argument like a kid does in grade school when the teacher hands them a series of pictures which asks "which of these does not belong". Question:" Which of these does not fuel a car" 1. Gas 2.Pixy Dust 3.Allah 4.Thor 5. Yahwey 6.Jesus Their logic works like this. Question: "Which feels best in explaining reality" 1. God did it 2. God did it 3. God did it 4. God did it 5. God did it 6. God did it even when others contradict me. |
