This, coming from someone who failed to answer my 2 easy questions? grin
You asked 3 'easy' questions, it further confirms that you lack full comprehension. And you should learn to use words, if your questions are easy, why do you ask?
Re: Where Is God In Our Everyday Lives? by logicboy: 11:42am On Apr 08, 2012
logicboy:

Wow...keep lying.

1) Atheists usually commit suicide? Have you any scientific study to show that atheists are more suicide prone than religious people?
2) Atheism is not a religion
3) What is your religion if you are not an atheist?


I asked 2 questions. Note that number 2 is not a question.

If God exists, I think he definitely would have made himself more obvious in our everyday lives. In the Bible, everywhere God does something to reveal himself.
According to the Bible God incarnated himself. He created an entire human body named Jesus.
That is not a "clue" -- that is a huge, obvious piece of evidence. It is very hard to "hide" a 170-pound human being who is running around performing miracles on every street corner.
Then you collect the stories of those miracles and publish them in a book. Where is the hiding in that?
It seems strange to me that these days God has chosen to remain hidden and has not made himself obvious in our everyday lives.

Okay, let me be your parttime english lesson teacher, for free. You're lucky i'm in the spirit of easter, the period when Jesus gave us everything for free.

Note the bolded question marks. Question marks are not smileys. They are used for serious/direct purposes.
On your easy questions, i've asked what makes them easy? Do you have an answer to any of these 'easy' questions?

I knew that you would grasp at straws with the rhetorical question. You were the one who stated that "atheists usually commit suicide". I repeated it to express confusion at the thought of it- eg "huh, atheists commit suicide"

So let me be your English teacher;

1) Atheists usually commit suicide? <<<< I wasnt asking you a question, it was a rhetorical question based on the historical context of our discussion- I was repeating your statement in question form. It needs no answer

2) Have you any scientific study to show.......<<<< This is a proper question which is easy to answer because it is a "yes or no" question (or closed question) in which you can easily answer "yes" or "no".

3) What is your religion if you are not an atheist? <<<< This is an open question but it is easy because as an adult you should know your belief system the you follow.


Answering the two questions will confirm two things for me;

1) Whether you are a liar- answering "yes" would make you a liar while answering "no" would make you truthful.

2) Whether you believe in God (which is central to this topic)

Admit it, I'm smart grin

Simple answer; God doesnt exist

Wow, they're so easy you've even answered them. One more thing teacher, mark them and score them. A rhetorical question is not a question, hmmm. This calls for sober reflections.

Grasping at straws again??

1) "....someone who failed to answer my two easy question" & "I asked 2 questions" <<<<<< A respondent can not answer a rhetorical question nor can a questioner ask a rhetorical question

2) I never said that rhetorical question is not a question. Even if I did, a rhetorical question is not technically a question.
Re: Where Is God In Our Everyday Lives? by Image123(m): 5:35pm On Apr 08, 2012
I'm not drowning here, so quit grasping at whatever. Now you're going technical, you're making a poor lesson teacher.

What most religious people do not know is that the God force which is also the creative force is a neutral force and totally impartial and is always looking for an open channel through which it can flow to manifest things that is for the benefit of mankind like tvs, telephones, aircraft etc.
It does not matter to it whether the channel is an atheist, christian, muslim, pagan, buddhist etc. What matters to it is that you love life and you are open and ready to work for the benefit of life.


Unfortunately most religious people are busy fighting amongst themselves, killing people and raising a lot of negativity that they shut down this creative flow that is within them whereas atheist are open to this creative flow because of their love and concern for humanity and it becomes possible for them to become channels for this inventions.
This explains why things are the way it is.
Thanks

Magical thinking in over drive.
Anyway, "atheists" are not monolith, they don't have "love and concern for humanity". They are just individuals who happen not to have beliefs in gods. There is no Kumbaya movement. So an atheist can be a Misanthropewink or someone who "loves humanity".

the back and forth between logicboy and Image123 isn't necessary, cos its obvious image123 has made a statement he cant defend, so he has chosen the age long trick of deflecting the discussion by picking on logicboy's use of English. (really pathetic strategy, yet totally understandable)
Re: Where Is God In Our Everyday Lives? by bigsean(m): 3:29pm On Apr 09, 2012
Look i have said this before and i will keep saying it
No one should underestimate the brainwashing power of religion. Religion was designed that way, it has been systematically inundated into humans from birth, its the only way of life they know. And u have to give the religious people a big hand, they are doing a good job in spreading it, (even before internet was available).

Just give up, you had nothing of substance to contribute. The topic is about atheists and agnostics contributing to science and technology while religious people use the technology at the same time, saying that atheists and agnostics will go to hell

Your OP shows a myopic low level of reasoning and deserves no rebut. I'd be gobsmacked if your atheist superiors like mazaje, homer and co came up with stuff like this. On another thought, i wouldn't put it past the devil to tamper with them thus sha.

I cant fault your decision. It's good that you have given a rational thought about god's existence

the fact that nobody bothered replying the thread, should have worried the op, assuming he had the sense to figure out why.

The answer is very simple and it goes like this,

'Give a man fish, you feed him for a day,
Teach him how to catch fish, he will feed himself for a life-time
Give him religion, he will starve to death while praying for fish.
