rastamouse: Regardless of the fact that I am banned from this thread , I will nonetheless pose this question. This is per chance any atheist can answer it.

Why does the bird fly and the fish swim?

The simplest answer is because they can, it just is. The more complex one is fish ave gills for underwater breathing, and slime on their scales to move through water. Birds have wings.

buzugee: LOL i thought i was supposed to be watching from the sidelines ? what are ya a multiple personality having fella ?

I am offering you a voice. Dont turn it down.

people talking out of their ass holes here. If you have anything in defense of ur God you can post on my thread. Infact, let's discuss your biblical interpretation. *picks up suitcase, walks back to own thread to wait.

As we all presumably know, deists believe in a non interventionist God. We have no evidence for him. I would like deepsight and/or blackteeth to make a case for god belief.
I think atheism, deism and agnosticism are the same in a way. God is irrelevant in all. Atheism and agnosticism are the same.no question.

buzugee: this aint the 1960s fool. i am no longer three fifths of a man. I AM A MAN. I DEMAND EQUAL RIGHTS LOL

i am naija. Now STFU and get back *cracks whip

buzugee: i can see why their minds will be getting blown. here they are, all their lives, they have been listening to 'pastor tithe' and 'reverend offerings' ignore most of the bible and hone in on the parts of the bible that serve his own purpose MALACHI 3 VS 10. then when a p-i-m-p like me comes in and gives them the real deal, they have to resort to drinking cider to keep their minds from being blown to smithereens

dats gud. Now gt ur a.ss back to the sidelines

musKeeto: Which of the gods exactly? The Christian God, Allah, or Martian's favourite 'The Great Leprechaun'?

im agnostic to all. Including t leprechaun.

@logicdude the deist god for all you know might have died upon creating the universe, any way, I'm waiting for deepsight.

Does it not strike you as suspicious that you got an interpretation of the bible saying blacks are supreme from a group of black christians. Did you not stop to think that there could be some kind of bias? I'm sure the kkk can give a similar exegesis, but only after swapping races around. And where do the mongloid, and australians figure in on this.

Let's discuss atheism vs deism. Merits and logic of both sides . If some theists would like to chip in their own two cents, they are free, however buzugee, rastamouse and snthesis(for a different reason than the other two) can watch from the sidelines. If Davidylan wants to join in, he'd better be civil. Okay 3,2,1, let the games begin!!!

birds of a feather flock together, all men are sluts.

deepsight, should i open a thread deism vs atheism so we can debate the merits of each. Anyway i understand deism doesnt allow for intelligent design.

myers, logic dude please back off.
@op snthesis opened a thread titled atheists come with your questions, you are free to see the number of christards(unintelligent christians, there r intelligent ones!) on there.

heyheyhey no name calling. And logicdude compared to rastarat and snthesis, he is a breath of fresh air, to be enoyed while it lasts.

sigh

Deep Sight: I will urge you to separate the religious notions of God, which can be quite ridiculous, from the logical and philosophical construct of the necessary existence of an Eternal Primordial Cause: which is what God really is.

I think most atheists believe in that type of god. An impersnal unintelligent force. Random chance. Btw I saw your thread about proof for a god a whille back, you are smarter than the ususal theist rabble on nl

Ngwakwe: @Logic Mind
Having thoroughly under-studied and typically analyzed your views, I can confidently put it to you that:

1. You have a Christian parents
2. Your found out that your preachers were hypocrites
3. You understood that faith and reasoning should go together against just believe
4. You believe that Conviction (belief) should be periodically tested as to invalidate it or reconfirm it.
5. You are rigid in religious interpretations, meaning an assertion or proclamation should have a definite meaning and not vague or ambiguious.
6. You hate hypocrisy
7. Your IQ is above average and you like challenging the status quo ante
8. You accept the truth when convince but not openly.

My friend you are not an Atheist as you claim but a Prodigal son that his anticipated welcome will be highly celebrated.

You are definitely the type to lead the Church of Jesus Christ in this perverted generation. I look forward to welcoming you. You are almost my type

charles xavier how did you come back to life?

frosbel: You are funny.

God saves us, provides us with all that is required to endure to the end , our part is to remain in the vine.

A man can walk away from the faith , something called Apostasy.

To suggest otherwise is to reduce man to a robotic being with no ability to choose right from wrong. Total Heresy I say.

if i give someone a choice. i dont say which apple do you want, blue, green or red. pick freely, bt if you choose blue or red i will kill you. is that a free choice?

hey buzugee, i have something to ask.do you not find it a little strange that a group of black men interpeted the bible in a way that makes them superior. you have to admit it smells fishy.

Image123: you're not that smart BTW, just wanted to inform you on what many think of you.

ooh you read minds now.

have a ball.

bigd4050: Just because science cannot define it doesn't mean it is not true. Can science explain how humans have thoughts, emotions, and conscienceness? No it can't yet we know these thing to exist. I encourage you to actually present YOUR OWN arguments instead of referring me to another website. I do enough reading on here, thanks.

um hello, science does not know everything.

davidylan you have been really insulting, and you are a christian-yet another reason not to be a christian. copying and pasting people who have already articulated it better is not wrong, but refusing to read just because it is copy pasted is pathetic.

pro01: I guess you're from Somalia. . .they're probably not so dumb; only dirt-poor, war-ravaged, and utterly clueless.

?. I meant many nigerians are dumb, and most humans are dumb. I am a nigerian.

@heathen, yahweh has walked among us as...count dracula!!!
Now on to numbers.This will be short and compressed
because Numbers is boring and I can't
hold in my raging desire to get to
Deuteronomy.
-15 Chapters of nothing happening.
Israelites still lost in the desert.
-Moses gets water to flow from a stone
for his thirsty followers by hitting it with
a stick.
21:2 "And Israel vowed a vow unto the
LORD, and said, If thou wilt indeed
deliver this people into my hand, then I
will utterly destroy their cities."
21:3 "And the LORD hearkened to the
voice of Israel, and delivered up the
Canaanites; and they utterly destroyed
them and their cities: and he called the
name of the place Hormah."
-God massacres entire cities of innocent
people
21:5 "And the people spake against
God, and against Moses, Wherefore
have ye brought us up out of Egypt to
die in the wilderness? for there is no
bread, neither is there any water; and
our soul loatheth this light bread."
21:6 "And the LORD sent fiery serpents
among the people, and they bit the
people; and much people of Israel
died."
-The people who faithfully followed Moses
on his word, and have been lost in the
desert for 40 years complain that they are
starving and dehydrated... so God kills
them. "I said keep it down back there, I'm
trying to drive!"
21:34 "And the LORD said unto Moses,
Fear him not: for I have delivered him
into thy hand, and all his people, and
his land; and thou shalt do to him as
thou didst unto Sihon king of the
Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon."
21:35 "So they smote him, and his sons,
and all his people, until there was none
left him alive: and they possessed his
land."
-And yet another senseless genocide...
and we're not even onto the next chapter
yet.
-Reference to the "Book of the Wars of
the Lord." Why couldn't they have "lost"
some worthless book like Psalms and
kept the much more intriguing
sounding one?
15:32 "And while the children of Israel
were in the wilderness, they found a
man that gathered sticks upon the
sabbath day."
15:35 "And the LORD said unto Moses,
The man shall be surely put to death: all
the congregation shall stone him with
stones without the camp."
-If you so much as pick up twigs on
Sunday, you deserve the electric chair.
22:28 "And the LORD opened the mouth
of the ass,"
-the sexiest line in the Bible, followed by a
confusing and seemingly superfluous tale
of a donkey complaining to its master for
beating him his whole life, voiced by
Eddie Murphy.
-More altars and animal sacrifices. So
far, this has been in every book of the
Bible, so it must be important. Yet
because it's no longer accepted as
social norm, the Lord's followers have
discarded this obviously insignificant
ritual.
23:22 "God brought them out of Egypt;
he hath as it were the strength of an
unicorn."
-Well... he actually meant... oh hell.
24:15 "And he took up his parable, and
said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said,
and the man whose eyes are open hath
said:"
24:16 "He hath said, which heard the
words of God, and knew the knowledge
of the most High, which saw the vision
of the Almighty, falling into a trance,
but having his eyes open:"
-I just have to say... for being the divine
work of God, this is the worst grammar
and sentence composition I have ever
seen. Even granting it the dozen or so
language translations it has endured, this
is just redundancy to the extremes.
25:1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and
the people began to commit whoredom
with the daughters of Moab.
25:2 And they called the people unto
the sacrifices of their gods: and the
people did eat, and bowed down to
their gods.
25:4 And the LORD said unto Moses,
Take all the heads of the people, and
hang them up before the LORD against
the sun, that the fierce anger of the
LORD may be turned away from Israel.
25:5 And Moses said unto the judges of
Israel, Slay ye every one his men that
were joined unto Baalpeor.
25:6 And, behold, one of the children of
Israel came and brought unto his
brethren a Midianitish woman in the
sight of Moses, and in the sight of all
the congregation of the children of
Israel, who were weeping before the
door of the tabernacle of the
congregation.
25:7 And when Phinehas, the son of
Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest,
saw it, he rose up from among the
congregation, and took a javelin in his
hand;
25:8 And he went after the man of
Israel into the tent, and thrust both of
them through, the man of Israel, and
the woman through her belly. So the
plague was stayed from the children of
Israel.
-Holy tap dancing Christ in a cartoon.
Moses has the men involved in the orgy
beheaded and their heads hung/staked
up to deter the "fierce anger of the Lord."
Then they spear a man and a foreign
woman, which pleases the Lord so much
he spares them from his rabid plague.
-Moses slaughters the Midianites at the
Lord's bidding and burns their cities and
captures their women and children.
-Why exactly? The Lord seems infinitely
pissed at the human race and desires the
painful death of anyone not already killing
in his name.
31:17 "Now therefore kill every male
among the little ones, and kill every
woman that hath known man by lying
with him."
31:18 "But all the women children, that
have not known a man by lying with
him, keep alive for yourselves."
-Moses kills all the male children and all
the women who aren't virgins. But he
keeps the female children for sex slaves.
-Seriously... we're only 4 books in. How do
people read this and go "that's the moral
doctrine I want to base my life after!"
33:3 "And they departed from Rameses
in the first month, on the fifteenth day
of the first month; on the morrow after
the passover the children of Israel went
out with an high hand in the sight of all
the Egyptians. "
33:4 "For the Egyptians buried all their
firstborn, which the LORD had smitten
among them: upon their gods also the
LORD executed judgments."
-The Lord is still ritualistically killing the
firstborns of people who have no idea
why or what they did wrong. And also,
the Lord punished the "other gods."
Monotheism be damned.
-Then the Lord rambles on about all the
land they will soon control, I'm
assuming while wringing his hands and
cackling maniacally. Fade to black.
End Scene.

Sister fatie: @op the problem with muslims christians,jews , buddhist,hindusetc is that they are too afraid to see that their is no god.they are too in love with the thought of n after life. Non of dem loves god allah or buddha they are just scared of hell they do good only because they will go to hell if they dont and not because they think it's the right thing to do. When u really understand their situation u'd feel nothing but pity for them.

i understand. Thats why they always boil it down to pascals wager. Ugh with the censorship.

one of my prayers have been answered and only one. God make my enemies imbeciles, and he granted it.

Goshen360: PLEASE CAN YOU GIVE BIBLE VERSE FOR YOUR STATEMENT IN READ ABOVE? I FEEL LIKE LEARNING FROM THAT YOUR STATEMENT.THANK YOU.

dude, you actually fell for that. She was mocking you.roflmfao.

logicboy: God didnt create leprosy? Leprosy is caused by bacteria. Bacteria are plants. God did not create plants? Epic failure by Rastamouse!


But the smartest people in the world- accredited scientists majorly do not believe in God, are they fools?

Um, logicdude, plants=kingdom plantae, bacteria=kingom monera. Poin os still relevant though.
