The Problem with Christians

[LadyForCamus]

I seriously want to shoot Blaise Pascal through the testicles.

Lol, fucking DITTO.

If it's impossible, than how, precisely, have you managed to do so?  If you haven't or can't do so, then how, precisely, do you hope to establish the veracity of your comments in that regard?  You're being ridiculed because you can't give an answer at all...by reference to your own claims, and yet you do......

What would designed life look like then? Apparently this is a fair question. Remember, If you can't answer you lose

How incredibly lazy of you to demand that others do your work for you.  There's no requirement for me to establish any part of -your- beliefs, for you.  Lose, what, exactly?  What do I get if I win?  Is god and god stuff a game to you?

Will you stop believing that god designed us, if I win your god game?

@AJ Speaking of loss...what will you lose? Oh, little things...like the respect of your peers, for example. The ability to present yourself as a rational agent, for another example. Nothing much...to me, anyway. Probably important to you though.

Well Robvalue wants me to define what non-designed life would look like, so why can't I have you guys do the opposite?

Life that doesn't turn cancerous and devour itself from the inside?

What does Rob have to do with me or the question I asked you? There is, ofc, a reason that your request is pointless...but I'm sure Rob will be along to clear up your misconception shortly, since you didn't seem to catch that I'd already answered that question in my last post, even though...-it aint my baby-.

Cancer is ALWAYS the result of cellular defects. There are many proteins responsible for controlling the cell cycle to try to prevent uncontrolled cell growth. But we irresponsible humans have now entrenched ourselves in an environment with man-made carcinogens and mutagens. The genes that code for the controlling proteins mutate, which results in lack of control, which results in cancer. I interpret cancer as a sign that our genome is slowly deteriorating.

Captain Non-sequitur, thank god you're here.

The point was that cancer is caused by cells becoming worse. This implies that (because not getting cancer has historically been the norm) that cells are slowly losing their capacity to function. This means that they were more functional in the past. This means that instead of moving from the bottom up, we are either moving from the top down, or from the bottom, to the top, back down.

Some design.

They have mechanisms to work against it though. WE are destroying them by our carcinogenic lifestyles. If I smashed your laptop with a bat, you wouldn't complain that it was poorly designed.
