Do you believe in God?

Post Reply New Topic

Believe me, you don't seem to have done anything to my belief system and you don't even seem to know what my belief system is for that matter. And regarding propositions in a given argument, the interpretation of said propositions are not related to belief systems as you put it, in earlier posts, but rather the logic of those propositions. In which case the fault for the misenterpretation of the message does not lie in the readers, rather in the poster.


well, quite fun, perhaps, it has been interesting I can say that.


well, certainly this can be seen to be quite funny, I can tell from this that you either have not been here in the PPR forum that much to be able to actually see how much someone has been participated or contribuited in this forum (which in this case it would make YOU the noob), or could it be something else that may be questionable, and given the nature of the forum, on this particular site and pretty much anywhere when serious discussions take place, terms such as these aren't argumentative at all, and they don't provide anything, I mean, throwing such terms like that is pretty easy, and any idiot can do that, which actually becomes meaningless and fallacious, and very given this case, which makes the poster who use it look bad, in this place especially, because the place for it, isn't here, I can say it isn't.

1 There are proabbly many ways to interpret it, but you said I worshiop Darwin, Asi dont I still win
2 Yes it was fun,
3 been here longer then some, not as long as others.

STill pwned.

Perhaps there can be several ways to interpret such statement, sarcasm is one.


well, I haven't seen you around that much in the PPR forum at least, I can say you don't seem to gather well this place and how it works, apparantely, and a questionable attitude appears to be in this thread, which could be considered a troll-like behaviour, considering the fallacious terms you keep using which are evidence of lacking of having a more proper and sensible way to make a case, and the issue of you ending up with a wrong conclusion, glorifying yourself, sort of speak, from my perspective, with the fallacy of your terms, relating to the other posters and where I came from with my statement, as you obviously didn't get the sarcasm.


Still? You have a pretty funny assumption of your supposed achievements, if you would consider that an achievement for that matter, which appears to be the case, I can tell you that very often, appeal to ridicule, especially in cases like this, don't offer anything valuable nor consistent and they become meaningless, not to mention the it all comes down from subjective notions which turns out to be very questionable by that very nature, I hardly think such statements are actually taken as valuable contributions to the discussions, especially here, so very likely, I can say you are in the wrong place for it.

I was happy to let it go way back, you keep this gowing. I was just staying I never said I was an athiest or darwin worshiper. If people want to keep saying I am, well they are wrong. And I've been here quite some time, and I could say the same for your posts.

clinically diagnosed AS and fundamentalist Christian.

Me;
Diagnosed with many disorders (including asperger syndrome)

I am agnostic, but science explains the "how" not "why" I would LOVE to not be a coincidental accident caused by a explosion of nothingness. but not much in the favour of alot of religion.
but find alot of the older ones have alot of truth in amongst the lies of writers. my main problematic place with "Cristianity" is Adam and Eve.

Adam was walking around the Garden of Eden feeling very lonely, so God asked Adam, "What is wrong with you?"

Adam said, "Lord, I don't have anyone to talk to."

God said, "Then I will give you a companion, and she will be called a 'woman'. This person will cook for you and wash your clothes, she will always agree with every decision you make. She will bear your children and never ask you to get up in the middle of the night to take care of them. She will not nag you, and will always be the first to admit she was wrong when you've had a disagreement. She will never have a headache, and will freely give 'love' and compassion whenever needed. She will never question your behaviour or the company you keep. She will support you and understand that you have important decisions to make throughout your life and don't have time for nonsense..."

Adam asked God, "What will this woman cost?"

God said, "An arm and a leg..."

Adam said, "What can I get for just a rib?"

diagnosed aspie and i am religious(Orthodox Christian, to be exact).

the thing most of my friends don't believe is that i also believe in the big bang and evolution. i've got a couple of reasons for that too.
1. the big bang; where did the energy to create the massive explosion of matter the big bang resulted in come from? it had to have come from somewhere!! !! !! what answer could there be except God?
2. the 7 days in creation; a day is not neccesarily the 24 hours that we think of as a day. a day could also be considered a time period over which a task is completed. so, relitively, it would have taken billions of years for plant life, then animal life, then finally human life, to cover the earth, but if you consider each of them to be a task to finish, the millions or billions of years each one took could be considered a "day"
3. evolution; we know for a fact that this exisits!! !! !! yes, it is undeniable. but in creation, each speicies is given the will to live and the ability to change(over several generations) to continue living!

i don't know if i totally agree with a single religion. from my point of view, each religion has some of the truth, but not all of it.

According to Genesis there were plants before there was the sun. Do you believe that?

Is that kinda like Solipsism?

I dont know personally but either that or she has alot of Pride.

I was nine when I realized that religions are Made Up and out of whole cloth at that. Religions are stories fit for children. But most of us grow up at some point.

That being said, there is still a kind of philosophical reconciliation one must make with the Cosmos. The Cosmos is vaster than we can grasp and stranger than we can imagine. Anyone who is not dead from the neck up has to deal with that in some fashion.

deffo new ere but already seen this lol

What bothers me the most about religion is that children are taught to believe in a god before they can even make a decision.

I believe in God. Why everyone says he isn't existent? Mind me for my overtly direct statement, but this is the way it was presented to me.

To be honest, I don't like believing in things unless I can see it. HOWEVER, just coz I can't see something doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist, ie "Absence of proof isn't always proof of absence." Examples would be viruses, bacteria and molecules.

I can't physically see a God so I'm not going to blindly believe in one, but I'm not going to flatly deny its/their existence either.

Two of my favourite quotes are from the Greek Mathematician/Philosopher called Hypatia and I think they apply to this topic:

1. "All formal dogmatic religions are fallacious and must never be accepted by self-respecting persons as final."
2. "Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all."

Can you see an atom?
