In other words: "Our belief system brings all the boys to the yard. Damn right, it's better than yours."

Wow, I had no idea you felt that way DM.

....because of your honesty, you just went up a notch, my freind.

Whoa I woke up this morning in the Jesus freak clans and now this.

Just because it has CC in the title does not make it CC related. Off to Off topics or whatever they call it this week

To wind up people like you.

Well, that's the last time I try to help you guys out then.

Obviously you don't get what I was trying to do.

Oh well, have fun trying to contain the revolution.

Question. Even if this God existed, why worship it? Just because it's "superior" to us does not make it deserving of our fealty. It's not like animals worship us, right? And just because he "created" us doesn't make him worthy of our respect. Hell, parents create people all the time and a good deal of them are fuckups. So why worship this supposed being? Is it because he threatens to torture you otherwise? Surely you don't believe his bull shit "I love you" bit? Oh yes, he loves you...assuming you bend to his will of course. Sounds like a ruthless dictator to me.

The idea that you consider me cattle is slightly annoying. I take comfort in the fact that I'm 99.999999999% positive that you're wrong.

Seriously, the way this question is posed, it doesn't really deserve an answer. But I'll do it anyway, just because I've found a way of putting it that I've been meaning to say for a little bit.


Life is actually worth more if it wasn't created. If you're right, then if we screw up and destroy all life on earth, God could just wink at the ruins, and it'd all be back again. Infinitely expendable. Wheras the reality is, if we screw up, then we've destroyed something very rare and fragile in the universe.

I find I really appreciate this rare and infinitely confusing chance we've found to exist. Even though we haven't figured out exactly how everything came to be, I feel great that we're actually trying. And the fact that it's so very unlikely that we even happened at all (look at all the billions of planets that are nothing but rock) is actually very uplifting when I think about it, and inspires me to try to make the most of my life, and help others make the most of theirs. Walking down the street, looking at the trees around me and the mountains and the sea (I live in quite a picturesque town), I feel very lucky. I think that if it were all just made, by some all-powerful being who is using earth as a proving grounds for our worthiness, that would make everything around me seem much less valuable. I prefer to think of life as something with infinite possible meanings and mystery, than just a manufactured test of character.

Yes, but they're 150% positive that they're right.

Anyway, you know why we should worship this superiour being? Because we're going to burn in misery forever if we don't, regardless of how nice of people we are during life.

It wasn't just atheists in the stupid revolution. There were a lot of various spammers in it.

I'm an atheist because of the alternative. Christians believe in god because they WANT to believe that some loving god created them who will take them to eternal paradise after they die. Atheists believe because all evidence suggests that God does not exist. btw, being an atheist doesn't mean you believe in the Big Bang theory, it just means you don't believe in religion.

the "various" was meant to include all faiths or lacks of faith.

I know. I'm still spamming.

god sounds too much like a tyrant for me...

obey or face my wraith...isn;t this what we fought against in the 30s and 40s...

Photographs of fancy tricks to get your kicks at sixty-six
He thinks of all the lips that he licks
And all the girls that he's going to fix
She gave a little flirt, gave herself a little cuddle
But there's no place here for the mini-skirt waddle
Capital punishment, she's last year's model
They call her natasha when she looks like elsie
I don't want to go to chelsea

Oh no it does not move me
Even though i've seen the movie
I don't want to check your pulse
I don't want nobody else
I don't want to go to chelsea

Debate over. Can't argue with solid logic like that.

How about mine? Here, I'll ask again:

The word in your post that I highlighted is one reason that, if such a being existed, we should worship it.

Besides, if we're assuming that such a being would take on the exact form, history, and behavior that Christians believe it would, then it's probably worthy of our worship, being all-loving and Good (ignoring most of the old testament...and the Hell bit).

But luckily, most tangible evidence points to there not being such a thing. Why is this good? (besides the fact of Hell. I try to be the best person I can, and I think most Christians believe that nonbelievers, if basically good people, can stay out of hell.)

Basically you're saying that our very existence is a big mistake caused by a big black hole.

Did I miss anything?

....or is this just the opinion you have on CC?

Seems to me that we are getting to you. Seriously, we do make at least some sense don't we?

quoting his original post is worthless-- I think you missed the part where he was just trying to distract the spammers from spamming. Reading his original post in that light, it's pretty obvious that he wasn't actually making any point at all, but just trying to say things that he thought would bug atheists.

Here I'll finish the thread.

Atheist: God makes no logical sense. Stop wasting you time.
Theist: Why don't you believe, how can we be formed by chance.

No no no... I think we are starting to get to him.... I think he is freaking out because we are starting to make sense to him. And that's why he is "bugging" us. Like how kids act when they "like" each other...

Am I the only one who's getting that?

Ummmmm yeaaaaah, I probably should have told you guys this earlier.

I'm done with this thread.

By all means, continue with your spamming.

Atheists just oppose the belief that a delusion, when shared by a large enough number of people, becomes a truth.

....but why do you cling to this opinion when the exact same can be said about disbelief?

Nope, disbelief is based on a total lack of evidence that point toward God's existence and on the fact that smart people don't waste their time and energy believing in things just because they can't conclusively prove the opposite. Otherwise we would have to believe that Satan invented bread, that after death we go back in time and reincarnate as as little prehistoric rodents and that the world is going to end next Friday when Giant Pink Space Mouse will come and start nibbling on Earth.
