DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS

but it is rather wise if one agrees there is a God, and makes heaven, and afterwards discover there isn't God after all... nothing to lose

THAN

to argue till death that God doesn't exist, and afterwards discover he does, and end up in fire



BUT THE FIRST LADY SUMS IT ALL UP ATHEISTS





"chai... there is Godu o o o..."

It is wise to live your life without worshipping any god, than to worship one and die to realise that there are thousands of other gods who all are angry with you for worshipping a false god. Rather be neutral than pick the wrong side. Savvy?

Atheists Belief Without Certain Proof and that is a form of faith. They can't prove to me that God doesn't exist same I cannot do that to them yet we belief in our opinions, that is faith.

No,a large number of atheists aren't rationalists...And those that are,don't have to "believe in" anything....you're merely equivocating(exchanging the words) "believe in" instead of "accept" to conjure a resonance of faith...

This is already a fallacy in itself....

Starting by equivocating words to imply faith....you then moved forward to attach your misunderstanding of a scientific theory....

Let us see where this leads to.



In the very same context you're using....it could be said that atheist(more specifcly,the rationalists) also "believe in"(the appropriate term is accept) Newtonian physics....does that magically turn gravity into a belief?

Even so,your dishonest presupposition(pre-concluded assumption) falls apart when you've already said "most atheists"....so you're also generalizing your observation based on a selected group.

Lets proceed.



Tell me what you mean here...because I need you to define your terms here....

And I also question the basis for calling the earth "designed"....what is the determinant of a designed earth?....can you provide or tell me how an undesigned earth would look like...so as to know?

And the reality we share doesn't remotely favour common sense.

Our intuition would tell us that between an egg and a boulder,dropped at the same time and from the same height....that the boulder should hit the ground first(because it's heavier)....but reality differs....

They both hit the ground at the same time(in fact, this is a standard test in physics to demonstrate that our intuitions doesn't matter to any event at play....until demonstrated)

And we've actually witnessed firsthand' the birth of planets and stars from chaotic supernovae...what would you call that?




I doubt any rationalists would say "randomness", but I see perfectly what you're doing...

You're trying to misrepresent the secular position of existence to somehow give your belief a more sane appearance....

The rebuttal I have for this pathetic dishonest misrepresentation is this....

Nature is probabilistic...not entirely random and not entirely ordered,and neither is it neutral(this may shock you ofcourse).....


Lets observe the cell wall....more specificly the semi-permeable membrane....it is a phospholipid bilayer of naturally occuring compounds.

On exposure to water,it's properties(which are determined by the head group and it's chains) form the bilayer by extending its hydrophobic(water dreading) layer in and it's hydrophilic(water loving) layer out...forming the "bilayer" in the process,that keeps the membrane from being permeated by everything(hence the term "semi-permeable"wink


Note that this function operates due to contrasting features that do not go together(i.e the hydrophobic effect)....but because of probabilistic qualities it encounters...it serves as a building block of cells...literally the walls.



I doubt you know the "law" you're talking about, may we know what this law is called and it's full implications....Is it thermodynamics?

Because if it is,you should have known that "order" and "disorder" in thermodynamics are referred to as "entropy" and entropy actually has values(I.e J/k )...and the total entropy of a system is determined by the work(useful energy)....

And since energy isn't created or destroyed(1st law) ....work gets rearranged into different forms(2nd law)....ofwhich one of those forms is matter.... (2nd law)



This is the hypocrisy of it all, after equivocating and misrepresenting everything you can....you then thank those who subscribe to the same faith you do...for support...

Good job, by this rate the well knowledgeable would depart from your religion after witnessing the extents used to retain the belief. smiley

Gosh so tired, it takes much work to expose a lie than to tell it...And I believe I've exposed you quite well...

Anyone willing to know any of this should either go to a noteable school of thought, library , google, etc lol grin

Religion is a SCAMquote author=Nipeks post=31767506]Atheists do not claim the Big Bang theory to be a fact. It's just a theory not yet a fact. But unlike the story of creation in most religions, this one is scientifically possible.

The question you people have not been asking yourselves:
If the universe is too complex to exist by chance and was created, then God who is greater than the whole universe must also have been created by something greater which must have been created by something greater. If we follow this theory, there cannot be a first creator.

I'm thinking the reason why athiests don't have so called "spiritual problems" is because athiests are actually spiritually stronger than religionists, athiests operate from their holy grail while religionists make their lifestyle, what is supposed to just be a part to their holygrail

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were they thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools! Romans 1 vs 20-22

And i said 'god'. Your god is no different from the thousands that preceded it, and the tens that have come after it. Infact, your god is a very young one. Less than 4000 years old. There have been much older ones like Zeus, Horus etc. All their believers claim theirs to be the most powerful creator of the Universe, yet none have proof for them.

I've been hearing that since 2003. I even met Kumuyi and he said the same thing. Your god doesn't exist, and so i will get no proof or manifestation.

first, an atheist does not necessarily depend on facts to not believe in the existennce of God, satan and what not. Secondly, you cannot 'believe' in facts, facts be just that, FACTS. Then how is earth 'perfect'? Whats perfect? Think about it, if it be random the resulting thing could be anything, including what earth is now, so yes randomness can result in what earth is. If you looking to retain faith in the existence of 'God', you can, thats you, plus no one prove that he do or dont exist. Its just that looking at mud real close and looking at people real close it dont look the same.

My belief is that there is a supreme entity or being, something that governs the universe. However, I don't believe that supreme being is the supreme being of religions.

Because it's abundantly clear that the characteristics and attributes of God in these religious books are false, contradictory. Embodiment of paradox.

They say God is all-knowing, all-merciful, etc yet he will torture you for eternity. I repeat eternity.
How can he say his love for you is unfathomable and his mercy knows no bound but in the same breath say he will PUNISH YOU FOR ETERNITY.

1 billion years and he's still punishing you. Eternal damnation. When does the mercy come into play?

YHWH is different, He's the only One out of these gods that refused to be represented by the works of the hands of man. Also in a free world, creation of gods is allowed. Even Nebuchadrezzar being of flesh and blood called himself god. Even you are a god. Gen 3:5 But the LORD God is one, He is the ANCIENT OF DAYS.
