Subject: Home Depot - Trip Report Part 2
|
So I'm headed for Home Depot. It's a nice crisp and cool almost winter day.
Some of the colored leaves are still on the trees. A beautiful
neighborhood.
On my way, I slow down to allow a young woman, her two small children, and
their dog, to run across the street. They get to the other side. The woman
is happy. The children are happy. The dog is happy. It's a wonderful
sight. It's a loving, wonderful sight. And it's Christmas time.
Yet so many on RGP are stupid atheists. Tell ME that there is no God. You
miserable people suck. Especially Brewmaster and Pokerchimp. Ready to kill
all the little babies through abortion. Such dark and miserable people.
You think there is no God. You talk about other solar systems and
life evolving, with no God. But you cannot even come close to explaining
how man's emotions came into existence. How do you explain love and joy and
the feeling of Christmas time without recognizing that there is a God? You
people are empty.

Bah, I'm not empty. I'm quite happy with my life without the need to
believe in some mythical creator. Emotions "come from" electrochemical
reactions in the nervous system working with the endocrine system. It's
all basically chemical reactions. But I'm okay with that.

I went to Maryknoll where my granduncle Rve.Father Gervis Coxen was the

He , a priest and some dude in White with a tall cap introduced me to God.
Almost 40 years later it's starting to make sense.

Well, I don't think they suck, perhaps some are just misguided a bit.

Of course I'm a person of faith. I'm smart enough to know that I owe my
existence to more than just some nebulous circumstances like the dumbass
atheists believe. They think they know everything. They're fools. I am
smart enough to know that I don't know squat. I'm one humble dude.
Not only is there order to everything, but like I said elsewhere in this
thread, scientists can't explain our emotions, our hearts, our souls.
There's something WAY more than just the science of how things were created.
There's something more to us. Something spiritual. I'm not dust. duh.
Merry Christmas to you too, Paul from Minnesota.

Maybe some day when (if?) you become mentally balanced and have acquired the
ability to think logically you'll read your above paragraph and reconsider the
last sentence.
You're just another blustering fool who needs the hope of religion to help you
deal with an overwhelming fear of death. It's that simple.

It's fine for you to believe that, but it's not fine for you to go beyond that
to despise, ridicule, and threaten everyone who doesn't agree with you.

Of course not; you're shit. A pathetic shit of a human being.

Once the brain and consciousness have evolved, emotions, personality,

Emotions serve to motivate us. And people without personality tend not

I am not an athiest I am an agnostic. I am pro-choice, but think abortion
in the wrong decision most of the time. I don't think I have ever talked
about other solar systems on this or any other newsgroup. I am Jewish by
birth and heritage and think the love and joy of Christmastime is total
commercialized bullshit. I skipped the veal marsala (my favorite) the
last time I went to Carraba's because of your post. You are more of an
asshole lately than usually. Does that have something to do with the Xmas
spirit?

Perhaps this is not the best way to start a rational discussion. What

Why do you assume we are miserable? Is it because there's a huge hole
inside you, a hole that would be empty if you hadn't filled it with
God? Do you believe that everybody has this same hole, and atheists
have filled it with petty superficial things, so they must be unhappy?
Maybe some have, but I think most atheists simply don't have this hole,
so there is no emptiness to fill. This is the case with me.

Yes. I'm sure they want to kill ALL the babies.

"God" is not an answer to anything, it's just a way to get people to
stop asking questions. By the way, just how is this time of year
significant for Christians? Do you think something special happened
around this time? Why?

Our Bible is filled with all sorts of stuff that was written by man and
approved by men who happened to like what it said.
Personally between Noah and Moses and then until Jesus a lot of stuff
happened that seems to me was written by people who wanted an excuse to
kill and steal, so they lied and said God told them to do it.
Moses, Noah and Jesus all did good things and displayed truly miraculous
abilities.
The other people were rulers who murdered and stole.
I do not believe them when they say God told them to do bad things.

casey -
i've responded to your ideas in a new thread. i'd be interested in
further hashing them out with you and others. the thread's titled
"Abortion and the Bible". if you've got a second (or minute, or
whatever), give it quick read and response. i think the conversation
would be interesting.

Says the religious zealot... BULLSHIT says Diputsur.
I am most definitely not "pro-abortion", but I am pro-choice.
I do however think the choice should be a little more substantial
as too many people use abortion as a form of birth control.
You want an abortion? Fine, here's a nice tattoo for your snatch.
You'll need to bring the would be father with you for the procedure
as we'll need to tattoo his dick also. Hmm, already have a tattoo?
Mandatory sterilization. Have a nice life ;-)

It makes you wrong. But you are only a sinful human, little more can
be expected. Besides, with all the decisions you have made in the
recent past, I sincerely doubt that you care at all about pleasing God
with the way you live your life. Or do you not worship the God of
Moses and Abraham? Do you worship a man-made idol that pleases you?

Because it is my responsibility to chastise you for straying from the
narrow path, and to exhort you to return to it. Your faith is false,
and you will be counted among the idolators on the day of judgement, I
sincerely hope that you can reconcile with God.
Also, all our works are worthless in God's eyes, literally any good
deeds that we do are as dirty rags to him. I hope you understand that
because I believe this, I also cannot believe that I am superior to you
in any way.
1 John 1:5-10 -
"This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that
God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say that
we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do
not practice the truth; but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in
the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus
His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we
are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our
sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not
sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us."
Isaiah 64:6 -
"For all of us have become like one who is unclean,
And all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment;
And all of us wither like a leaf,
And our iniquities, like the wind, take us away."

Believing in God is not enough, Satan and all his minions believe in
God, but they are not and never will be saved. The fact that you
believe you are correct to live your life for yourself is a clear sign
that your priorities are not in the right order. A person who has been
changed by God will desire to live his or her life for God.
James 2:19 -
"You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe,

Matthew 7:21-23 -

heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in

miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from
me, you evildoers!'"

house, and it fell with a great crash."

Are you not proud of your beliefs? It certainly seems that you have a
very tenuous hold on these beliefs -- you strike me as someone with no
idea what exactly you believe in -- perhaps it is just enough belief to
please yourself and yet not quite enough to make you lose any of that
self-esteem or prompt a desire to change the way you live.
I know because of God's word, the Bible. I know because of the change
that God has made in my heart.

<cut biblical quotes >
Damn, maybe I should just become agnostic or atheist in order to not have to
talk about religion with anyone else. I can't seem to have a decent conversation
with anyone about religion because they're so hell bent on getting me to CHANGE
to AGREE with their viewpoint/thoughts, and I'm just trying to get them to
ACCEPT my viewpoint/thoughts for what they are.
They don't have to AGREE with me or believe what I do, but why can't they accept
that that's MY thoughts/beliefs? I accept their thoughts and beliefs for them,
why can't they do the same? What makes you think you're religion is the "RIGHT"
one, while all others are "WRONG"???
Honestly though, what are we disagreeing on: HOW I worship and how YOU worship??
I say I'm Christian and I believe in God, but yet then I'm told "No You Don't"
because I don't subscribe to the same channels as you do. THAT is just WRONG to
me. It screams intolerance to me and that's the part that frustrates me.
I never tell anyone that the way they worship, or how they worship, or who they
worship is wrong. If it's right for them, then it's right for them. There are SO
many religions in the world, in so many different cultures, so to assume
that your religion is the RIGHT one, is just plain arrogant to me.
I know what I believe and again, that's good enough for me and it's good
enough for my God. That's all that should matter.

Just be thankful that you live in a country that is predominately
Christian.
The worst that can happen is that someone will tell you that you will
go straight to Hell when you die.
If you lived in a predominately Muslim country, someone would have cut
your head off by now.
That would really suck.

The Democrat Party is in the forefront of that movement.
http://www.hillnews.com/thehill/export/TheHill/News/Frontpage/121306/faithguru.html
Clinton hires faith guru
By Alexander Bolton
Burns Strider, one of the Democratic Party’s leading strategists on
winning over evangelicals and other values-driven voters, will join
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) as she prepares to launch her
2008 presidential campaign.
Strider now heads religious outreach for the House Democratic Caucus,
and is the lead staffer for the Democrats’ Faith Working Group, headed
by incoming Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.).
Incoming Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) created the working group in
2005 when Democratic strategists recognized that the party lost ground
in the previous election because of trouble appealing to centrist and
conservative voters in rural areas, who tend to be church-goers driven
by moral issues. Strider was an aide to Pelosi when the group formed
and joined Clyburn’s staff as policy director of the Democratic Caucus
in 2006.
Strider’s move to Clinton’s camp suggests that Democrats will woo
so-called faith voters in the 2008 election. The plan is buoyed by the
Democrats’ success in winning over religious voters in Michigan, Ohio,
and Pennsylvania in the midterm elections.
Ann Lewis, Clinton’s spokeswoman said that her boss has talked to
potential advisors about joining a possible presidential campaign, but
declined to reveal names.
Lewis noted that Clinton has long discussed her religious faith,
pointing to writings on the subject in her two books: “It Takes a
Village,” and “Living History.”
Observers of Clinton’s expressions of faith say religion has always
been important to her, that she attended prayer group meetings while
first lady, and that she joined a Senate prayer group shortly after
winning election in 2000. Reporters anticipating Clinton’s ’08
presidential run wrongly discount her expressions of faith as cynical
political maneuverings, the observers add.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------
Downright hillaryious, ain't it?
"Cynical political maneuverings"?
Preposterous I say, preposterous!!
----------------------------------------------
But Clinton is not the only 2008 Democratic hopeful in position to
appeal to religious voters. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) joined
conservative Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kan.) to speak about AIDS two weeks
ago before the congregation of the evangelical Saddleback Church in
Lake Forest, Calif. Last week Congress passed legislation sponsored by
Obama that would allow people in bankruptcy to give to charitable and
religious organizations.
Josh Dubois, an aide in his Senate office, is heading Obama’s
religious outreach.
Sen. John Kerry (Mass.), who is also contemplating running for the
2008 Democratic nomination, has been active, too. In September, he
gave a speech on “service and faith” at the conservative Pepperdine
University. He has tapped Shaun Casey, an associate professor of
Christian Ethics at Wesley Theological Seminary, to advise him on
religious outreach.
Kerry also recently held a dinner at his D.C. home with evangelical
leaders and traveled out to California for a four-hour meeting with
Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Church, who wrote the bestseller,
“The Purpose-Driven Life.”
-----------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------
The left-wing think tank Center for American Progress has also been
important in the effort to convince voters of faith that issues such
as health care and education, are Democratic strong suits, are just as
much moral issues as abortion and stem-cell research.
----------------------------------
Oh yeah.
Pro-Abortion stances are sure to be a big hit with those "voters of
faith".
<giggle snort >
-----------------------------------------------
Melody Barnes, the group’s executive vice president for policy, has
taken the lead on religious outreach there.
Last week, Center for American Progress convened a meeting of
“center-left” religious leaders to discuss ways to improve the
collaboration of progressive faith groups.
----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------
I have a great suggestion for a campaign slogan.
"Jesus would have wanted you to pay higher taxes"
Is that a winner, or what?

That's why these threads get so long, Tanya. If you have a very different
viewpoint on the afterlife than I do, and I *accept* your viewpoint, and don't
point out that according to my viewpoint, your views means you will not enter
into paradise in the afterlife, then I am tacitly agreeing that there *may* be
something wrong with my viewpoint, and thus, there may be some chance that my
soul or whatever will outlast my corporeal existance, and many people cannot
handle that philosophy. Very sad, IMO.
that's why I get into it with those that want full-blown prayer in public
schools. If we allow the Christians to hold officially-led prayer meetings and
recite the Lord's Prayer, then don't we have to those of other faiths to hold
similar sessions? And this includes Wiccas, Satanists, pagans, etc.

Funny story. In Virginia, there's a school system that lets
any parent who has a child in school include non-commercial
notes in the parent-teacher communication folder each week.
This was pushed for by Fallwell's group, because they wanted
to advertise their vacation bible scool this way.
So a pagan group advertised their holiday program this way, and
a whole lot of christian parents were really pissed about it.
Apparently it's only OK if you agree with what's being sent.

You do realize that the bible was written by man, don't you? It is
also one of the greatest pieces of fiction ever written. Why do YOU
believe in God? If it wasn't for the belief that god exists, would you
still believe? Brainwashing at it's best. I find it hard to believe in a
god that would allow horrible things like aids, cancer, desease, famine,
killing in "his/her" name and countless other atrocities to exist. I have
asked another person on this newsgroup to show me PROOF that god exists.
I'm still waiting. Can YOU show me proof? I want factual documented
proof.

I find I MUST reply to your post. I see you as the standard type looking for
someone to proof God to them which seems to point towards a need for a God.
first let me say I may have been in a church 3 times in my life not counting biz
meetings I have had at the Vatican with top officals of that church (third
person under the pope).
Anyway true faith is one on one. You must find it for yourself if it is to be
true. Second asking that someone supply you with proof is insane. You are the
only one that can find the proof you seek. What allows one to not only believe
in God but truly know in their heart there is a God is enough for them which
does not need to supply you with proof. It is your limited view that causes you
this pain to guestion the faith of others. Can you not just accept the fact
that others MIGHT know something as fact that you can not even understand at a
base level.
In other words if you are without faith find but why the need to bash those with
faith. Live and let live and rid yourself of self inflected discomfort of mind
and soul.
I for one do not know if there is a God or not or an afterlife. I will say this
if there is not it all seems like a huge waste of effort on all sides.
there are things I know are true (in many different areas) that I could never
supply you with proof you would buy. Beyond that why in the world should I even
try and supply proof to you when I know it will be rejected no matter how good
it is.
Funny in this whole reply you might find I am talking about God when it fact God
has very little to do with what I speak. Soomeday if you are lucky you also
will have an awakening of one sort or the other.

No, Arlo.
Someone asking for proof is usually asking for scientific evidence, or some
reason to discount the overwhelming science disagreeing with the claims of
the bible.

No proof but seeing God in person would satisfy you and with your lack of
faith I don't think God will do parlor tricks.
You will have your proof when you die unless you display faith.
I got proof when i was a young boy as i had pure faith.

Faith?
Here's the definition according to dictionary.com. Pay close attention
to #2 and #4. Also notice that #5 and #8 are below #2 and #4.
1. confidence or trust in a person or thing: faith in another's ability.
2. belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis
would be substantiated by fact.
3. belief in God or in the doctrines or teachings of religion: the firm
faith of the Pilgrims.
4. belief in anything, as a code of ethics, standards of merit, etc.: to
be of the same faith with someone concerning honesty.
5. a system of religious belief: the Christian faith; the Jewish faith.
6. the obligation of loyalty or fidelity to a person, promise, engagement,
etc.: Failure to appear would be breaking faith.
7. the observance of this obligation; fidelity to one's promise, oath,
allegiance, etc.: He was the only one who proved his faith during our
recent troubles.
8. Christian Theology. the trust in God and in His promises as made
through Christ and the Scriptures by which humans are justified or saved.

Righteous deeds and Good works are not the same thing.
If you help someone back on the good path, God and Jesus look upon that
very favorably.
Be careful of how you interpret the word, some people interpret the words
in a way that favors being less than what God wants.
I am by no means accusing you of this but merely stating this so that
someone who reads your quote doesnt see this as a reason to not do good
works.
A righteous deed could be construed as a pompous ego-boosting act, yet a
Good deed is something done for the sake of goodness. I think many people
see righteous deeds and Good deeds as the same thing when i personally see
them as 2 different things completely.

What is a decent conversation? Would you rather I patted you on the
head and told you that I think that you are doing a great job and that
all is well? I could do that, but that would mean you would continue
in your idolatry and would spend an eternity in hell.
Sorry, it appears that I am more concerned for you than you want me to
be.
And you need not be concerned with what I think of your views, you
should be FAR more concerned with what God thinks.

I disagree with your selfish and farcical 'belief system' which places
yourself and your wishes before your desire to obey God. That you
cannot support why you believe what you believe is a serious indictment
of how strongly you hold your faith.

I warn you that you are practicing idolatry. You aren't worshipping
God, you are worshipping yourself. But you don't want to get yourself
all tangled up in exegesis. You'd rather make yourself feel good by
worshipping a more people pleasing idol.
Don't worry about whether or not I am tolerant, for I can assure you
that God is not tolerant of your (or any of mankind's) wicked acts. He
is a just and righteous God, who will deliver his judgement upon all of
humanity. Fortunately, He is also a God of grace, and he has given you
the opportunity to escape His judgement.
Unfortunately, you have forgone this offer in order to worship some
idol that you have built up for yourself.

Well, principally, you never tell anyone how to worship God because you
don't have the foggiest idea how to worship God, though you are adept
at worshipping yourself. At least I can take solace in the fact that
you are not pulling other people astray with you.
More to the point, you tell me that you don't go to church and that you
live your life for yourself. You also seem completely unmoved by the
fact that many 'principles' you live your life by are in direct
opposition to God's decrees. I cannot state this any stronger, you are
not saved. You will not receive eternal salvation. You will die, and
you will spend FOREVER in hell.
Open the Bible, READ IT. You profess faith in a God that you do not
even know. You will cry out to God and Jesus on judgement day, and you
will be rebuked and ordered from their presence, and you will spend an
eternity in hell.
> I know what I believe and again, that's good enough for me and it's good
> enough for my God. That's all that should matter.
You know nothing about God. You know plenty about your idol though.
If you do not make a change in your life, you will end up in hell --
anything you do before that is merely masturbation.
But I guess at least you'll feel pleasure in the interim.

You're a joke. You put too much faith in a book that is fiction. Do
you also worship Captain Ahab? He was also the main character in a great
book of fiction. You do realize that the bible was written by MAN don't

God does not like a boastful spirit.
But your idol does, does it?
Jeremiah 9:24 -
"...but let him who boasts boast about this:
that he understands and knows me,
that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness,
justice and righteousness on earth,
for in these I delight,"
declares the LORD."
2nd Corinthians 10:17-18 -
"But, 'Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.' For it is not the one
who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord
commends."

How telling that you read kindness and overlook the next 3 words. It
may make you feel better to focus on one aspect of God described here
and ignore the two others, but you are mistaken to do so.
Your idol may not be just or righteous, but God certainly is.

I'm not ignoring righteousness and justice at all. It's just that I have a
different take on the concepts than you do. Also, I find that it is best to try
not to speak for God. That is all.

Faith is about fearing God.
Isaiah 8:12-13 -
"...Do not fear what they fear, and do not dread it. The Lord Almighty
is the one you are to regard as holy, he is the one you are to fear, he
is the one you are to dread."
Matthew 10:28 -
"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
Rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in
hell."
Psalms 111:10 -
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and they who live by
it grow in understanding..."
Prov 8:13 -
"To fear the Lord is to hate evil."
Prov 9:10 -
"The first step to wisdom is the fear of the Lord, and knowledge of the
Holy One is understanding."
Prov 16:6 -
"...the fear of the Lord makes men turn from evil."
Job 28:28 -
"The fear of the Lord is wisdom, and to turn from evil is
understanding."
These are but a handful of the numerous verses that both command and
exhort humanity to fear God. But then I suppose that the idol you
worship does not need to be feared, of course it is merely an idol and
can do you no good in the afterlife either.
But enjoy pleasing yourself in the interim, if that's more important to
you than introspection and proper worship of the one true God.
And if you are actually curious, read a bit more.

I guess we've determined that your particular brand of religion allows no room
for lighthearted joking.
Maybe someday you'll wake up to realize that faith is not about fearing the fire
and brimstone.

The existence of the ground is objectively verifiable, and the effects
of plunging onto it will be obvious to everyone around to watch, although
not to the person who splatted into it.

Well said, thank you. I didn't know quite how to respond to the comparison of
hell and what he said.

Whenyou leave here you take a new step in your journey to God
Gods energy exists in such a state that badness cannot exist in his center.
The further you are from God, more badness exists.
The closer you are to him the less badness there is.
How does a person get closer to God ?
The person needs to forgive ones'self
One forgives oneself by achieving complete understandings of their wrongs.
This is what purgatory is
Hell is when you are in purgatory for a long long long time.
Some sins will take lifetimes in purgatory to fully comprehend.
Jesus says come to me in the last hour and that you have to accept him.
You will meet Jesus when you leave here, he will forgive you as will God.
The rub is, you have to forgive yourself in order to be pure.
The more pure you are, the closer you can be to God.
As i stated, that will take a whole lot longer than most of us expect.

There will come a day when you will cry out in fear of the one true
God. You will profess that He is indeed your Creator and has dominion
over you and all of creation.
And unless you make a change, a serious change, then shortly thereafter
you will go straight to hell.
But hey, crack all the jokes you want in the mean time. It's your
funeral, and eternal damnation.

So God is interested in supplication and domination? Wow. Sounds like a real
swell fella.
In the meantime, I cry out in fear of Zeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuussssssss!

Bummer. I can leave my ice skates behind, yes?

I don't understand if God is such a wise and benevolent dude, why is he such a
vindictive fuck? I mean, come on. If he's so omnipotent, why does he get off on
punishing people so much? This God of yours is a sick, sadistic fuck.
Look, I don't claim to know any of the answers. I DO know, however, that your
version sounds like a bunch of bullshit. What makes your version any more
compelling than any of the other five thousand "God" theories I've heard in my
lifetime? What makes you so special because you have a "Bible" that tells you
so?
If that's the case, I'll order you a copy of "Dianetics." You'll love it.

Sorry but it is impossible for a human to do any number of things that could
support ETERNAL damnation in a single lifetime or even 20 lifetimes
No crime could be seen so great by a kind and loving god your faith has.

Ha! What a joke. Could you please clear up which "God" will save me from eternal
damnation? Your Christian God? Allah? Perhaps one of the ancient Greek gods...
like Zeus maybe?
Yeah, Zeus! He was a cool motherfucker. He often took human form just to
impregnate young ladies, and threw those wicked lightning bolts. Zeus rules!
I take it all back. I'm not an atheist, I'm a Zeusophile. Will that rescue me

Casey,
If you are sincerely curious, then I find it odd that you are casting judgement
upon me or upon the way I live. Instead, it seems you feel it necessary to write
a few sentences that make you appear as if you're superior to another, and this
is what makes me curious as to your beliefs. Are you a Christian? If not, then
OK, I can see the above being written. If you ARE a Christian, then how could
you?
This is why I find it hard to attend man produced religious activities (ie mass)
as it seems to teach that if you go, you're "good" and if you don't go, you're
"bad".
I believe in God and I know that he knows it. That's enough for me. I know it's
not enough for the ones that do go to the services, or that walk door to door
selling their religion, but I'm not living my life for them. I'm living my life
for me and I simply try to be the best person that I can be. If my belief in the
above is not enough for God, then I guess on judgment day I'll find out.
However, my God is a forgiving God and an understanding God and he understands
that we are, as you stated, nothing but sinners.
Religion is something that is personal and private, IMO. I have no cares in the
world as to what religion someone else is, or what their religion believes, as
who am I to say that they are wrong, when they are thinking the same thing about
my religion? Who knows who is right or who is wrong, and who knows if there even
is a wrong and/or right? Noone has come back from the dead to tell us, Judgment
day has not come upon us yet, so how do you know??
Ahhh...faith. Your own individual faith is what tells YOU, just like my own
individual faith tells ME.
All is well,
T

What a wonderful god he must be, that we are all regarded as "sinful humans."
Nothing like a lifetime of self-loathing, right? Where do I sign up?
Fuck pleasing god. Why would the all-powerful deity care about us pleasing him,
is he really that insecure?
It must really suck to live your life so concerned with someone else's opinion
of you (an imaginary someone, no less). Seriously, it is so hard to be a decent
person without some invisible boogeyman looking over your shoulder?

Patti's too 'smart' to believe in God. Still, though, I want some of these
non-believing fucks to explain to me how Man's emotions developed through
evolution. They can't. Patti can't. None of them can't.
Btw, as I explained in my recent very important RGP thread entitled
"Eleaticus is a Satanist", I mentioned that of the two weirdest RGP posters,
which are Eleaticus and Igotskillz, I said that Eleaticus is a Satanist and
is going to hell, as opposed to Igotskillz, who is of course a good
Christian and will certainly go to Heaven.

Look what up? The definitive answer of where Man's emotions came from? Who
the fuck do you think YOU are? Like I said, you're too 'smart' to believe

That's true.
Scientific evidence shows emotions are caused by chemical changes in the
brain.

Hey Patti, I don't need to look up jack shit. Holy crap. "The evolution of
emotions"? Can you get any cockier? I really don't give a fuck what anyone
wrote about the evolution of emotions. They don't know shit. And you don't
know shit. I cannot 'prove' God's existence. But I am SURE as fuck SURE
that you and your stinking FAQ thing can't prove shit either. Guess what,
it's a freaking mystery. No one knows. Wow, I've seen some cocky people
here but you take the cake. You've got a lot of balls.

One question, Paul.
Mahatma Gandhi - Heaven? Hell? Elsewhere?
I grew up Protestant, but have the damndest time arguing with fellow
"Christians" over this (mostly Catholics, some fundamentalist non-denominational
types).

and that's been my biggest problem with the tenets of Christianity (and other
organized religions with similar beliefs).
Also, along those lines, none of the treasured pets I've lost over the years
would make it to heaven. (which is also my biggest gripe about the end of
Gladiator).
That shit ain't right.

There is no logical answer to this question. That's why it is easy to
conclude that liberalism TRULY is a mental disorder. I'm not being
sarcastic. I'm not trolling. I'm telling it like it is. These fucking
people are crazy. There is NO other explanation possible. These

No, it's the archconservative whackjobs that are the problem.
Killing a pregnant woman didn't BECOME a double homicide until the whole
abortion debate.
The neocon assholes redefined it.
Now you, as another neocon asshole, are attempting to use that redefinition
to support your position.

How can anyone in good conscience have a baby that they are unable or
unwilling to care for? What are the alternatives? Having the baby and letting
their families raise it, and/or letting working taxpayers provide the financial
support it needs? Or better yet, just giving it up to strangers to raise? Umm,
no thanks.
I don't think abortion is a matter of right and wrong. Sometimes it is just the
best decision. Especially when the alternatives are clearly wrong.

You would reject an alternative of giving up a baby for adoption as
being clearly wrong?
Kill the "fetus" instead?
Did you hit the Send button a little too quick there?

Yes, I think it is wrong for someone to give birth to a baby then give it to
strangers to raise. Is it better for the baby in most circumstances? Well, of
course it is. But that doesn't make it right. IMO babies are the
responsibilities of their biological parents. Period. That is just how I feel,
unpopular as that opinion may be.

It's not even a fetus in most abortion procedures.

Gay sex is OK, though, because there can be no child. Thanks for that

WTF is pro-abortion? Does that mean you think everyone should get one?
Maybe it's me, but I see a big difference between pro-choice and pro-abortion.

On the contrary, some of us can be happy, just, moral people without needing an
imaginary deity to dictate our actions.
If you folks are so eager and willing to invest so much energy believing in this
nonsense, how can we trust anything else that comes out of your gullible little
mouths? Seriously, all of this Bible thumping and red-baiting is starting to
cloud your judgement.

Sounds like you think I am a Christian. Have I SAID I'm a Christian? Well?
Where have I said I'm a Christian?
And why aren't YOU red-baiting too? Do you like communists? Aren't you
against all the dictatorial moves that the Bush Crime Familty is
orchestrating? You sound like OrangeSFO. Orange said that I shouldn't
dislike Picasso because he was a communist. Aren't you BOTH against the
oppressive governing of George Bush? Then WHY aren't you against communism?
What's with you hypocritical stupid fucks?

Nah. As with everything else, the burden of proof should be

poppycock. the assertion made was that there is no G_d, and proving
otherwise is an absolute cinch. for man, G_d has existed in many forms
since the beginning of recorded history. what makes your conclusion more
relevant than that of many, many billions more? do you have super-duper,
special powers of observation that the average human being can't possibly
fathom?

You know what I love best about "the bible"? That it was written in old
English, even though it was actually written at least 1000 years before
that language even existed. I guess they knew it was coming. Thou shalt
read the bible in Aramaic or thou shalt not have the right to preach to me
about it, fux0r.

No it isn't, I just thought that was a decent place to throw that in,
since I didn't feel like reading the whole thread again.

So, right after I said "there are obvious reasons why humans feel a
need to believe in supernatural deities" you paraphrased me as saying
"they had no reason to". Excuse me?
There are other billions of humans who follow religions that do not
have a deity - Buddhists, etc. Those religions that do believe in
deities, often believe in multiple deities. Even the monotheistic
religions disagree with each other about the nature of that deity.
With all these different sorts of religious beliefs, I don't see how
you can draw a conclusion about whether or not there is a God based on
what people believe.

I would love to believe in God and an afterlife, but it just doesn't
make sense to me. I can certainly imagine that there is some sort of
Being beyond human understanding, but I can't imagine such an entity
resembling the God of Abraham or any other anthropocentric deity.

Absolutely! A billion people believe that there is no God but Allah -
who are you to tell them they are wrong? Not to mention the Hindus -
they believe in multiple gods, so they are even more right!
There are obvious reasons why humans feel a need to believe in
supernatural deities - there is no reason to believe that the actual
existence of a god or gods is one of them.

if billions believe in G_d or gods, and billions have for many millenia,
only the supremely arrogant would assume they had no reason to. maybe
they foresaw the impending arrival of the brilliant atheist and wanted to
provide him with somebody to look down his nose at.

Oh, I think they had plenty of reason to believe. That doesn't
necessarily mean that the things they believe in are true.
Almost every American has beleived in Santa Claus at some point
in their lives. Their reasons for doing so are perfectly valid
(and, as it turns out, are very similar to the reasons many
believe in deities.) Try as I might, I can't turn that into
proof that there's a big toy factory at the north pole.

As a Jewish child I was really deprived. No Santa Claus for us. We got 8
days of presents instead. Worked out OK, but it definitely brought out
the religious differences among the kids at the public schools
(kindergarten, 1st grade).

Can you prove there is no Santa Claus?
An honest person must be agnostic on the issue.

No, but she can prove that the commonly accepted image we have of Santa Claus
doesn't exist, especially given the conditions at the North Pole pretty much
rule out that the Santa Claus and his Old Lady commune doesn't exist.
