The distinguished StrangeEnigma spake:

Can someone shut this down. It's obvious nobody is going to agree here, so what the hell is the point of continuing this discussion?

Are you serious?

Why would we discuss anything at all if we agreed with eachother? If you demand people agree BEFORE making arguments, you're the stupidest one in the room.

If you don't believe in a god, you're an atheist.

The distinguished LinkZelda spake:

The distinguished Mattpoppybros spake:[quote]Linkzelda, there are more than two sides here, and atheism isn't a religion.

Those points are true under my argument. [/quote]

That may have been what you meant, but not what you said. "Either" usually implies only two options, and the two options most discussed here are atheism and christianity.

Actually, since you're an atheist, it doesn't really matter.

Linkzelda, there are more than two sides here, and atheism isn't a religion.

Wow, you really are a moron.

THE UNIVERSE BEGAN WITH THE BIG BANG

SO THAT'S WHERE YOU START COUNTING ITS AGE

A physical object is pretty easy to believe in, and theism just means belief in gods.

Having faith in multiple gods is easier than having faith in one. I already explained why.

The argument here is against monotheistic religion because people of other sorts of belief don't tend to be as zealous.

Also, it's in a way better to be polytheistic or worship an inanimate object. Polytheism, with many gods that are not omnipotent, and have varying personalities, solves the problem of evil, the problem of death, explains why miracles happen instead of the problem being prevented all together- "my god only has the power of slowing chainsaws and elevators" -I think it's more reasonable.

Worshipping an object isn't stupid because the object can be seen, held, and felt, and it also actually provides a benefit to you. Worship won't affect it, but at least it somewhat deserves the praise.

The distinguished Darmani Link spake:

The distinguished Hybrilynx spake:[quote]someone explain to me how did time start. and by that, i mean 2013 years ago.

You, are a bad troll. these 2013 years are nothing compared to the trillions of years that passed.[/quote]

The universe isn't even close to several trillion years old, you dunce. 2013 years is closer to the actual age.

No you couldn't, Darmani. You know that isn't true.

If you had claimed those things and it fit in with what they already believed? Maybe. The moderate believers and their children wouldn't be fooled, they'd question you. But, if you became the leader of the group, and slowly conditioned them, you could convince a church the end of the world is in May.

Also I love how neither of you pointed out that god neither prevented bad things from happening to the grandfather, nor prevented other christians from being killed. If the grandfather was dead, he couldn't tell stories, so Lil' Believer couldn't use them as ancedotal evidence.

Here, I'll just provide some important concepts.

The first is that improbable things happen. It may be unlikely that life would form, by chance, on a world perfect for life- but we wouldn't notice all the times it didn't happen, because we weren't there at all.

The second concept is that 'evidence of god' or 'miracles' tend to consist of something bad nearly happening, but they get 'saved' by god. Every example of this can be countered by "Why didn't he prevent it entirely". If they respond that it's to reinforce their faith, then you should ask why he doesn't give a daily broadcast to everyone on earth of what he wants out of people.

The third concept is one not yet mentioned here, but another common argument- "You have faith in science!". The response to this is "I trust science." This is seperate from faith, because the scientific method has produced things that work regardless of whether or not you believe in it, has the evidence to back up its claims, and changes based on new information.

However, this doesn't mean belief in a god is evil, obviously. Believing in a god, so long as that belief does not lead you to infringe on the rights of others, or impede scientific progress, is perfectly fine.

Also, don't judge any group of people based on Darmani Link. He's ignorant and just picks his beliefs based on what makes him sound the most dark, edgy, and villainous. He's like a bad political cartoon of an atheist.

I have no idea what a DS anime room is.

I'm being efficient and simplifying the forums. This one topic makes at least five others redundant!

My DS Anime Room is red, so I pick Tomato. It's a good name, I think.

i like to draw strange things poorly then get told by morons that i'm good

:)

It actually depends on how high the ditto's attack/hp is in comparison to the magikarp. if it can deal more than a 16th of its own hp in damage with struggle per turn it will win in most cases

I pick Golurk because I get to be an immortal flying ghost robot WITH HANDS. Do you people hate hands or something? Hands are amazing.

MAGIKARP WINS AGAIN

as this is the 666th topic and ALSO only 4 days from halloween, which pokemon do you personally consider the most evil based off game mechanics?

ditto because of the half pp thing

Mojang had a different studio publish a port of a game for a different console. Sony isn't involved.

Granted. The umpire at your next baseball game will be an African-American.

I wish for infinite socks
