asalimpo:[b] The scientific theory based on the isotropy of the cosmos....the distribution of the elements....red shift galaxies...the curvature of space-time around mass.... etc....with mathematical basis shows the universe emerged from a super dense singularity.... of which existed in an inconceivably minute dimensional plane... I know none of the above makes sense to you.....because you don't pay attention to anything scientific but like the hypocrite you are you use the knowledge laid down by the scientific method.... And the earth was made like all planets from the accretion disk of the parent star.... or rather the gravity of a star as it forms acts on the surrounding debris that made the star and pulls the molten rocks into a spherical body(again gravity is involved in this).....dense metals like iron sink to become the core..... I would stop there because i do not have a consensus to speak on this scientific field accurately....talk to an astronomer..... i could continue but again it is doubting you can understand any of this.... [/b] At best all what i've said are the scientific well substantiated theories that are falsify-able....and based on reality.... as compared to mythical unvalidated ridiculous bronze age tales ![]() |
asalimpo:its glaring and yet your religion has over 41,000 of which most are contradictory sub-denominations..... ![]() and a good fiction is atleast based on something factual.....saying method of crucifixion is real therefore an unrecorded man of rumoured jewish "father/son/god" character is real is more like saying spiderman is real because New york,Manhattan is real History recognized no one called "jesus" ....that is why "jesus" is told as a mythology....not history and we talk about the "stories of the jesus in the bible" not the history and biography of "jesus" ![]() And how can logical thought fry your brain against an unvalidated belief in flying dragons....wizards....giants....incest....witches talking snakes....donkeys and a floating zoo? |
asalimpo:asalimpo please stick with the topic to avoid being banned..... |
mesoade:so you are saying you believe that it would allegedly purposely make 1001 proofs against itself then condemn people who do follow the evidence for eternity?! including your kindred that never "heard the word" and were "never saved"? doesn't sound so loving does it? And if truly it is about "divine intervention" why aren't we all born with this?.... or is it good to let people freely follow their own intuition and then punish them for it?.... or rather design a car that can drive itself anywhere and then expect it to drive you home? ![]() |
mesoade:actually you are the one who believes in miracles....therefore you should give us proof of it.... ![]() |
I just want to know......do theists feel captivated by the chaotic beauty of the stars or the beauty in birth.....or does a "god-did-it" glass filter this sense of wonder and inquiry? ![]() |
hmmm....depends......although it would mostly tell who he/she is before campaigning... |
asalimpo:fasting and praying to cure erectile dysfunction? |
JEITO you asked a very good question....the universe will indeed expand till even atoms would never form....although by then entropy would already be at its maximum....and the universe would be a very dark cold place....beautifully at thermal equilibrium ![]() |
The bible says rainbows were created after an alleged world flood......science proves rainbows always existed since the earth had an atmosphere and is the result of the refraction of light from two separate media of different densities....and world floods never ever occurred... ![]() So who is a fool....someone who blindly takes a claim as fact or one who waits till it is proven true before acceptance? The chance nature of existence only describes how life was and is still threatened by a lot of factors....diseases....food shortage....meteors....etc ![]() |
qstar:I even started to believe maybe he might be mentally challenged to not understand something that simple.....including asalimpo who believed 150 year old theory of evolution started atheism ![]() |
Bobbysworld28:Read carefully; people rejected Gods like zeus and athena before the yahweh "god" concept....disbelief is not tied and didn't began from Christianity but other native ancient "god" concepts and when the christian concept of "god" was proposed....it too failed to provide its burden of proof and therefore it was disbelieved too... ![]() |
Bobbysworld28:do you believe consciousness isn't a brain state? |
.. |
Bobbysworld28:I am not even remotely referring to atheism coming before theism but rather the rejection of the "god/gods" concept predates christianity and is not a result of the scientific era nor have anything to do with the "god" concept of christianity as asalimpo has claimed....do you now understand that |
Bobbysworld28:Every community delegates...modifies....lift and impose laws.... I would like for you to explain how you believe something besides the brain governs consciousness and the way you came about such a conclusion and then perhaps tell us how you have the answers that top neuro-scientists are researching on |
Bobbysworld28:its good you get it now.....now apply that to african natives and other prehistoric people whom rejected the concept of "god/gods" to understand why atheism existed before christianity and consists of nothing extra.....just an unbelief ![]() |
asalimpo:asalimpo i finally believe i'm justified to call you a r3tard!... because if 150 year old scientific theory began "atheism"....how did the greeks....ancient africans and others arrived at the unbelief.... smh! i can see now that flying dragons....talking snakes.....talking donkeys must be verified by you all the time anyway....anyhow.... ![]() |
Bobbysworld28:Wow flawless logic! ....apply your definition to your unbelief in allah and you'd be saying you know allah exists but reject it ...Has your willfull need to justify talking snakes and donkeys that high that you'd have to lie and re-define the most basic of things …perhaps you should realise that the "god" or the "supernatural" has been long rejected countless times due to lack of evidence and/or for evidence strongly against it.... |
asalimpo:You do know that atheism predates christianity right? and is an unbelief in "god/gods" and the "supernatural"...so your "atheism borrows christian concepts" is a blatant lie apart from that atheism is just an unbelief not a philosophy....try to read on what a philosophy is and you'll find it concerning beliefs majorly and not an unbelief ………pick up a book besides your bible for once.. |
Image123:i'm a very busy individual...... you can read about each christian denomination and their methods towards "salvation" on that page......or are you afraid of the truth? .Image123 keep in mind my below statement most of theCATHOLIC FAITH [b] " The Catholic Church teaches that it is the one true Church founded by Jesus Christ, [3][4] that its bishops are the successors of Christ's apostles and that the Pope is the sole successor to Saint Peter who has apostolic primacy. [5][note 1][6] [note 2][note 3] The Church maintains that the doctrine on faith and morals that it presents as definitive is infallible. [7][8][note 4] The Catholic Church is Trinitarian and defines its mission as spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ, [9] administering the sacraments [10] and exercising charity .[11] Catholic worship is highly liturgical , focusing on the Mass or Divine Liturgy in which the sacrament of the Eucharist is celebrated and, the Church teaches, bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ through transubstantiation . The Catholic Church practises closed communion and only baptised members of the Church deemed to be in a state of grace are ordinarily permitted to receive the Eucharist.[12] The Latin Church, the autonomous Eastern Catholic Churches and religious communities such as the Jesuits , Mendicant orders and enclosed monastic orders reflect the variety of theological emphases within the Church. [13][14] The Church venerates and holds in special regard Mary , the mother of Jesus Christ, and teaches that through divine intervention she gave birth to him while still a virgin. It has defined four specific Marian dogmatic teachings : her Immaculate Conception without original sin , her status as the Mother of God , [15] her perpetual virginity and her bodily Assumption into Heaven at the end of her earthly life. [16][note 5] Numerous Marian devotions are also practised." [/b] EASTERN ORTHODOXY [b] " By these acts of salvation, Christ provided fallen mankind with the path to escape its fallen nature. The Orthodox Church teaches that through baptism into Christ's death, and our death unto sin in repentance, with God's help we can also rise with Christ into heaven, healed of the breach of our fallen nature and restored to God's grace. To Orthodox Christians, this process is what is meant by "salvation", which consists of the Christian life. The ultimate goal is theosis – an even closer union with God and closer likeness to God than existed in the Garden of Eden. This very process is called Deification or "God became man that man might become 'god'". However, it must be emphasized that Orthodox Christians do not believe that man literally becomes God in His essence, or a god in his own nature. More accurately, Christ's salvific work enables man in his human nature to become "partakers of the Divine nature" (2 Peter 1:4); that is to say, man is united to God in Christ. Through Christ's destruction of Hades' power to hold humanity hostage, he made the path to salvation effective for all the righteous who had died from the beginning of time – saving many, including Adam and Eve, who are remembered in the Church as saints. [83] The Orthodox reject the idea that Christ died to give God "satisfaction", as taught by Anselm, or as a punitive substitute as taught by the Reformers. Sin (separation from God, the source of all life) is its own punishment, capable of imprisoning the soul in an existence without life, without anything good, and without hope: hell, by any measure. Life on earth is God's gift, to give us opportunity to make our choice real: separation, or union." [/b] PROTESTANTISM [b] " Protestantism is the form of Christian faith and practice that originated with the Protestant Reformation . The Reformation was a movement against what Protestants considered to be the errors of the Catholic Church.[1] It is one of the largest divisions of Christianity; along with Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy . [2][3] Anglicanism is often considered to be independent from Protestantism, although its origins lie in the English Reformation, which was concurrent with the Protestant Reformation. The term refers to the letter of protestation by Lutheran princes in 1529 against an edict condemning the teachings of Martin Luther as heresy . [4] Three fundamental principles of traditional Protestantism are the following: [22] Scripture alone The belief in the Bible as the supreme source of authority for the church. The early churches of the Reformation believed in a critical, yet serious, reading of scripture and holding the Bible as a source of authority higher than that of church tradition. The reformers rejected some of the traditions of the Western Church because they did not find justification for them in the Bible. Justification by faith alone The belief that believers are justified , or pardoned for sin, solely on condition of faith on Christ rather than a combination of faith and good works. For Protestants, good works are a necessary consequence rather than cause of justification. [23] Universal priesthood of believers The universal priesthood of believers implies the right and duty of the Christian laity not only to read the Bible in the vernacular, but also to take part in the government and all the public affairs of the Church. It is opposed to the hierarchical system which puts the essence and authority of the Church in an exclusive priesthood, and makes ordained priests the necessary mediators between God and the people " [/b] I BELIEVE YOU CAN READ THE REST FOR YOURSELF ![]() |
