The Greatest Story Ever Sold, The God Who Wasn't There.

Keep laughing... most simpletons do indeed try to laugh off anything that might point out the fallacy in their beliefs. It is understandable that you still fail to comprehend the error in your position.

you believe there are beings on other planets, yet cannot fathom how someone could believe that a being more powerful than us could possibly exist. One that could create our world etc...

Probably like an ant that has never seen a human. Probably mocks other ants for believing that a more powerful being could come and create their entire world, control their very existence, because they had no proof of the so called 'human'. Then the ant bumps into the glass wall and wonders how it got there.

You proclaim how creative and powerful the human mind is and then fail to use your own to see through your own bullshit.

You continue to use your Santa analogy as if that means anything to me. It does not. I do not believe in Santa, just as I do not believe in God (nor do I disbelieve). But my BELIEFS do not magically become FACT simply because that is the way I really really want things to be.

Sir, all that is required for life to form is the existence of the proper elements .. no god-like intervention is required. We can even do it ourselves in a lab.

What is "belief" to you?

Belief to me is simply a conclusion based on the facts.

Facts and religion are like oil and water.

You can maintain any belief you choose .. has nothing to do with me my friend.

Whether you believe in God, Big Foot, or the fat guy who moves about on flying reindeer, they all have the same probability of existence.

There is no certainty about either of them.

I understand what you're trying to say, but it all boils down to the same thing. Their only claim to existence is that nobody can claim they don't.

There is nothing more outrageous in a belief that a fat guy can move around in a flying reindeer sled than there is that a human-like God watches over us.

The only difference is the fat guy isn't presented as fact.

Again... only the hard core small minded 'beleivers' try to present God as FACT. Most are intelligent enough to call it what it is.... FAITH.

Just keep your head in the sand a be a good little ant. Nothing more powerful than you could possibly exist. no way. No how. just impossible. so keep comparing 'God' to 'Santa' try to minimilze the potential as much as you can with your own BELIEFS.

If it does, we're all fucked given that only 144,000 people have tickets to get in .. and given the billions of people who have existed, I'd say you have a better chance of hitting the New Jersey Lottery without buying a ticket than getting into heaven.

And, and, and .. "Who among us is without sin?" :eek:

Hell, I'm sinning while I'm typing this post.

Again, this is an assumption... because those that believe in God could just as easily say that 'God created us so that we would have the ability to reproduce'

"What is "belief" to you?" A belief is an OPINION or conviction. It is a confidence in what we think is the 'truth'.... It is FAITH.

"Belief to me is simply a conclusion based on the facts." THIS is where you go wrong. TO KNOW is a conclusion based on facts. To BELIEVE is an opinion based on what you THINK is true.

"Facts and religion are like oil and water." I agree 100%.... because as I said... religion is based on FAITH... not FACTS.

You can maintain any belief you choose .. has nothing to do with me my friend.

as can you... now if can only get you to comprehend the difference between believing and knowing.

Have you ever thought about this .. maybe God IS Santa.

Huh? C'mon now. It's possible under your wise and thoughtful all things are possible belief.

But then again, maybe God is Mrs. Santa Claus.

C'mon now .. don't be a sexist pig. :)

Ahhh.... no gotcha's in the above... I already stated above that God could be a he or a she.... As for God being equal to 'Santa' could be... though it is far more likely that 'Santa' is really 'Satan' misspelled. you see Satan was tired of the Christmas spotlight being hogged by God and thus created his alternate personality 'Santa' to get people to spend themselves into great debt all for the sake of buying more and more presents getting greedier and greedier every xmas morning.... you see... he truly wants to make the day more about evil than good.

:cool:

Just can't leave Santa alone can you?

How do I KNOW Santa doesn't exist?

You got me .. I give up.

I am so small-minded.

So you will ignore the rest of that post to go back to clinging to your hopeless attempt at an analogy? Sad.... and definitely a sign of a very small closed mind.

Oh my, God is here.

Are you still into watching your armies go into villages to slaughter every moving and breathing thing, including children and goats .. but allowing your armies to keep the women unknown to man/virgins for themselves?

Do you watch what they do to the virgins?

Is there video?

I am truly embarassed oh wise one -as I type from on my knees.

Given that he fancies you .. ask him how much for the video.

Sorry, he keeps a very tight grip on those videos. I would ask him for you, but I can't seem to get a hold of him lately. He has been really really busy prepping all those virgins. I mean really... 72 each... damn he must have been drunk when he made that promise.

If we keep this up we're going to offend somebody .. and the last thing this board expects from you and me would be for either one of us to offend anyone. :eek:

I recall that vaguely, and that there were at best some methodological problems, and thus problems with the interpretations. This is why it is so unwise for a researcher to have any sort of vested interest in the topic of research.

I just read through it again. He only did six people, and two of them had to be discarded. The four that did lose weight lost it by different amounts.

The guy did the same experiment with 15 dogs and had no comparable loss of weight. A contemporary critic of his study noted that he apparently just caught them and poisoned them because his journal noted that he couldn't find any terminally ill dogs as he did with the people.

Ah, I see, really good science then? LOL. That's really sickening. At least it happened well before our time (even before my time!). He'd never have been able even to begin such a poorly planned and executed study today.

well, I figure a little bit of levity won't kill anyone... then again, I was wrong once in my life... it could conceivably happen again.

Let them believe in a god - or as many gods as they wish. It is better that we let them do that than it is to spend millions schooling and educating them.

unfortunately they don't have the same hands off attitude towards us...
 
The "You can't prove he DOESNT exist therefore you have to tolerate my stupid beliefs while I perpetrate injustice" argument is about the most retarded one ever made. I think the time for respecting such beliefs in others is LONG past.
