Who led the loonies into this thread? |
[b] Atheism to me looking back all my years of a Christian, I could say was a gradual step.. I attended church regularly, read the Bible in my free time and devoted myself to abstaining from sin.. Being a "nerd" as of then and now I had always been very curious. I asked questions concerning the various denominations of christianity and why people just blindly believed one interpretation over another, and why anyone would be in trouble just for asking about the truthfulness of the Bible itself.. Nevertheless I still believed in the christian god and even went on challenging atheists in debates about it... time over time something so trivial as logic knocked every supposed "argument for the Christian god", including science and history itself. It also didn't help that fellow believers don't known basic facts like the first half of the Bible being taken straight from Judaism... and an idea as a single couple populating the earth were a complete biological impossibility due to the less genetic diversity hurdle they would face against common mutations, bacterial and viral diseases... The day that blew it all for me was the "something from nothing argument"... seems pretty airtight till examined for its own inconsistencies... from there it was a defining bar that the god presented to me had no basis for belief... so I investigated other concepts and they were just as baseless... And to make things worse to believe in things like god/gods one has to either denigrate human beings as lesser creatures or scum making it easier to discriminate and perform acts of violence on fellow human beings or lie and continuously form a blind eye to gaping holes in the belief out of fear of punishment,being an outcast or out of one's ego or "love" for the belief.

[b] With over a billion nerve cells in the brain all interacting together at once and responding differently it's just not possible.. .. it would be the equivalent of asking you to explain 100% accurately all the molecules in the air and their individual interaction with the earth to produce the weather.. A feat which in real life makes weather forecast constrained over longer periods of time. So as the example, perception and things like ideas are the far-side that we know neurones produce but find it tasking to point the exact process. Even without knowing every neurones part in perception it's been determined the regions of the brain where things like fears, conscience and many more come from, something the ancient Jewish theologians believed comes from the heart... yes the heart that pumps blood. So the lack of understanding of this is not sufficient for a plea to the supernatural or anything else but our own ignorance. The million bucks is just a red herring, irrelevant to the question entirely.. . merely a bait for fans(like the op) who follow his line of thinking to chatter on about the wager. [/b] |
Pitakwa123:Really? But you still have and believe the Jewish Torah as your old testament and venerate Jewish prophets. ![]() Confused set of people. ![]() |
viceric677 expect nothing but insults from most christians because you're asking questions they're too afraid to ask.. |
GlorifiedTunde:How is it a sacrifice when it planned everything and wasn't ever mortal in the first place?... according to the theology of course. |
smellingmenses:How is it beyond his intelligence? |
Smartanthony:same thing doesn't affect Boko trust in their Allah.. |
rejosom:The same reason,not all humans have the same minds... we are all different in conclusions and thinking.. so what do you think happens when a religious book is open to interpretation? ![]() |
lol ![]() Sorry for your loss, these crooks are getting smarter.. |
finalboss1:Yup, even think of it this way... Why would god if it's omniscient write down the entirety of its plan in a book including how it'll defeat the devil? Because going by the same book the devil reads god's scriptures and all it has to do to "win" now is to never rebel(I. e the rebellion to take heaven in revelation) since it knows the outcome, it'll send more people to hell that way and the finite universe dies without a "judgement day".. See how easily the so-called smartest being there ever was is easily outsmarted.. |
urahara:HP Envy 14 touchsmart core i5 4210U 6GB RAM 750HDD 2GB nvidia 850m I'm currently about to change this to a Dell with an nvidia gtx 960m. |
Now it's whether a god exists... which used to be whether gods existed.. the ancients dealt with that and now it's our turn to put the nail in the superstitious coffin one last time. ![]() |
ESheriff1:Background logging and tracking. |
sidonlook:You run the software and it enables a log where any password you type on your device is registered and sent to him... but I don't know because I'm not on any data to check his app.. |
sidonlook:App that steals your personal info |
Hope this isn't a well disguised key-logging software... |
Edelweiss44:You can have as much interviews from my rotting corpse when I'm dead to ask it how real heaven/hell is, since to folks like you dead people can know and experience things. ![]() The death-bed plea is often the last scare tactic. |
Edelweiss44:How does having a finite brain predispose that a magical entity gave me one and it has one of its own talk less of an infinite one? You jumped several tiers just to stop at an already made conclusion... 1. You know I have a brain... check. 2. You know my brain is finite... check. So if you're learned enough to know those two you should also know that human beings develop through human beings... at no point in time did I become created by any deity,talk less of my brain... |
Isn't it obvious that religion has created both terrors? Both the avenue to cover-up hate and propagate it.. |
Has anyone done any business with them? |
captainnigeria:What you begin to realise after talking with creationists for so many years is that the truth doesn't matter to them... It's just about protecting the idea that the earth is 6000-10000 years old.. And they do this through many falsehoods like ; Quote mining legit scientific papers to make it appear to support their case, an example being the famous Charles Darwin eye quote mine.. Actually sending contaminated samples to labs and then claiming since the results were whack therefore radiometric dating(particularly carbon dating) is wrong. Spreading false tales like "paulaxy footprints" and dinosaur - human cohabitation... etc. Lastly is ignoring or side-tracking anything that doesn't support their case.... that's why you'd still hear old fallacies rehashed like "intelligent design" and the likes. |
And if we were to even date the moons age it corresponds with the earths 4.5 billion year age, the same moon that Abrahamic religions claim is younger from their Biblical interpretations... The universe doesn't have room for god/gods as explanative features anymore... well said @captainnigeria |
If only we can make a place that only progressive people can live in, I'll see where the Hypocrites,terrorists and backwards thinking folks would be. If Alan Turing was shot dead or jailed for 14 years would we have computers to even comment on this? Al ghazali destroyed islams golden age by demonising western knowledge(science in particular) and human rights and ever since Islam has never recovered... Boko Haram ISIS Al queida etc.. |
From reading a few comments here we can all see why Nigeria needs to improve on its mental health and educational system... |
It's hard enough that being gay is looked down upon, now a deranged homophobe did this.... SMH! It's a sad day today... |
Santoscity:I play mad max on ultra and it's visually appealing, that's it... nothing more. Laptops with thunderbolt 3 would be available in $300-400 cheapest.. desktop 1080 is a mere $500-600,prices which would still fall during summer and winter give aways.. I don't have to be immersed on ultra to enjoy games, it's fo0lish to brag on something so trivial as that to me over other people who're constrained either by budget or just preference... |
LordCenturion:You've already answered yourself, the Bible got it wrong. |
