Evidence God Exists

[AngelThMan]

I just wonder...given the information we now have of neurobiology, if these religious ppl are just drug addicts??

Just what is it that makes ppl (in the face of direct evidence) still cling to their faith??

Does it follow that they have higher serotonin levels AFTER going to their place of worship??

Just a thought

You keep talking about these ppl as if they were some strange little minority. The majority of ppl believe in God. You're in a minority. So maybe it's you who's a drug addict.

A majority who have the same opinion doesn't make the opinion right or wrong. How many people believe in a god is not relevant to the existence of such a thing.

Hello Appeal to popularity, it's nice to see you again.

I understand the faithful opposition.

So explain why it's reasonable to believe

It isn't - reason has nothing to do with it. It's all about fuzzy feelings.

He said he understood Tav. It's clear you're as dumb as shit.

This is coming from someone who has the intellectual honesty of a bag of rocks and can't demonstrate or put forth a single specific detail in any of his arguments.

I understood where he was coming from, and I understood where you're coming from.

Why is it rational to believe? It isn't necessarily.

Try and come back with something better than a "you're dumb" comment. Make it worth my time so I don't have to suffer the same nonsense that you continually spew out day after day.



I'm gonna consider this a non-issue.

As an athiest, I take the position that there is no god, just as there is no santa, no bigfoot, no fairies, no ogres, no easter bunny, and no female complacency. However I do understand the idea of god, the concepts of divine morality, the concepts of heaven and hell, and I understand where they come from. But what most people have to understand, is that all people who believe aren't simply idiots..misinformed, yes, naive, yes, deluded, sometimes, but certainly not idiots. Deities have existed for as long as civilization itself has existed, even before then. Concepts of a higher power are ingrained into the very fibers of our being just as much as hate, greed, malevolence, and love. Our path thus far has been entwined with that of the religious, the believers. While it is my belief now that as a species we should have outgrown this ideal, it's understandable that it has held on thus far. Now i'll debate such beliefs vehemently, but I do understand them. I understand the faithful opposition.

I dont understand them at all, perhaps you could explain them to me because I'm getting shit all sense from them.

Thank you

It's nonsense to you shitforbrains because you continually miss the point. You're wandering through the forest looking for trees that smack you in the face every second. If you actually paid attention rather than vomit your nosensical bullshit continually you might get somewhere. Stupid is as stupid does tho'.
