A 'God' Thread

[S O F I]

Wrong again. What are my set of principles, then?

You're a preaching atheist.

I'm the coolest motherfucka on this board without even trying.

Let's not put this to a vote.

That's not a set of principles.

Let's not put this to a vote.

We did that before, remember? IIRC, it was something like

Pro-Casey : 25 votes
Anti-Casey: 3 votes

I'm confident the scores would be even better this time.

 

[S O F I]

That's not a set of principles.

You've bound yourself to an assumption that God does not exist and you're following that code of conduct.

Pro-Casey : 25 votes
Anti-Casey: 3 votes

That was if you should leave the board or not. That does not equal to a "coolness" contest.

Also, it was pathetic on your part to even make the thread, lol.

 

[Casey]

It's not an assumption. He has not been proven to exist, therefore he exists to me about as much as dragons and unicorns, which I also do not believe in, and I would certainly make fun of someone who legitimately believed in them.

It was not pathetic to make that thread. I already knew beforehand what the results would be. I did to prove a point, to you and all the other haters that are constantly getting on my case for no reason and acting like you speak for everyone else on the board when you do not.

The fundamentalist about you is the radical and intolerant behaviour.

 

[Casey]

Those attributes, whilst present in fundamentalists, do not make one a fundamentalist. Besides, I'm not radical or intolerant IRL, I mainly just do it to fuck with people on here.

Yes, it needs more than that. However, those attributes can definitely be found in your behaviour.

Although there is no way i can prove it, i highly doubt that this is true.

 

[Casey]

It is true. I've never had a single heated debate IRL with a meat eater OR a religious person. Not once.

I'll lmao if someone discovers an unicorn which is possible with all these undiscovered species

 

[Casey]

If they do discover it, I will acknowledge it's existence. The same applies to god.

Masta is gonna ship a horse to Casey's house with an aluminum spike attached to the head and a little message in the mailbox saying. "I TOLD YOU MOTHER FUCKER, THEY EXIST"

 

[masta247]

It's just that I had a feeling that you don't even consider the possibility for God to exist.
You're convinced that he doesn't just because he hasn't been scientifically proven.
I think it's okay to not believe if you don't want to and the fact that there's no proof is a good enough argument. But you just said that you'll believe if you see evidence (which is okay) and in some earlier posts:

frodo, you do realize that there is not, has never been, and never will be a god, right? quite frankly if you don't realize that....get the fuck off this board.

People become more religious at hard times. It would never happen to me though, because I'm an atheist

That's why I'm concerned about coherence of your point of view. Maybe you exaggerate at times?

 

[Duke]

I think you're misunderstanding each other. I don't think Casey categorically, principally denies the slightest possibility of a God, but he doesn't deny the possibility of Magic Giant Snail either. Or of a giant invisible razorfanged Vagina ruling earth with an iron labia.


But, sane people that we are, until they're proven real we're gonna assume they're not. Although it's hard to even call it "assume" because the "assumption" is the natural state.

 

[Casey]

Or of a giant invisible razorfanged Vagina ruling earth with an iron labia.

This would probably cause less carnage than the christian god.

I for one would bow to our new razorfanged vaginal overlord.

You might think differently after watching this...

 

[Duke]

One thing that I will say I am certain of is that if there IS a God, it's not the God that's described in "the books". The combination of omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent AND he loves us all is impossible in today's world. Given the starting conditions (God having those qualities) and the results (Earth), I'm calling FAIL.

And no "God works in mysterious ways" crap either. The moment "we" gave him those qualities, we bound him to human rationale.

It can be easily observed that the results do not correlate with the starting conditions.


Therefore, if there are higher beings, it's definitely not God as we know it. I am sure of this.

Come to think of it I would prefer Magic Giant Snail.

lol.

Anyway even by your logic:
If half of the world believed in a giant invisible razorfanged Vagina ruling earth with an iron labia and someone said: "Hey, there'll never be a giant invisible razorfanged Vagina ruling earth with an iron labia" I'd say "I wouldn't be so sure, you know. I don't think it exists but everything is possible and there might be some true to it, even if it doesn't seem logical to me and it's not confirmed."
I mean, It's that I think offending people because of that wouldn't be the best thing to do, even if their belief seemed to have no merit at all.
I wouldn't tell a kid that Santa Clause doesn't exist if believing in him made him feel better.

From a Religious person's point of view the belief itself gives them a feeling that convinces them that the God exists, not valid arguments. It's impossible to convince them that it doesn't exists. You can only convince people who are "in the middle" who don't do any harm to atheists anyway.

But regardless, It was just about the quote "there will never be God". You can't be sure.
There's no scientific proof right now but we never know what will happen in the future and if you're going by scientific rules you shouldn't neglect the possibility.

 

[Casey]

The only higher beings are aliens from other planets that are more intelligent than us.

Perhaps they have visited earth at various points throughout the existence of man and enabled/progressed us in various ways, and these things have been attributed to god.

It wouldn't matter if the belief wouldn't progress beyond "just a belief". But religions do. Hell, how they do.

Yup! But the hypocritical thing is, a lot of people won't think it's weird to keep the possibility of a God open, but those same people will call you a retard if you say you're keeping the vagina-possibility open.


"The idea of a God", though possible, has no more credibility than ANY other idea that has no proof. Let your imagination run riot. Come up with the sickest, most twisted unlogical idea about something existing and I will give it the same amount of credibility as God.



"I believe in God" = normal person

"I believe in unicorns and leprechauns" = suddenly you're the village idiot



That is the blatant hypocrisy that annoys me to no end.

That's what I hate as well.

Just because millions of people believe in something that has no proof, that doesn't make it any more credible than something that I just conjure up out of my imagination that also has no proof.
