GOD: How much do you believe in him?

[Tyrone Biggums]

But that all sounds like a typical religious slant on things. When something beautiful or wonderful happens it's Gods work, not mans. If something attrocious happens it's mans work not Gods!

How so?

Maybe whatever entity created us (if one did) created us and the system we live within to challenge us.

How can you appreciate happiness if you do not know sadness? How can you have empathy without suffering?

That's why the Chinese concept of Yin and Yang interests me.

As Newton said "To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction".

I get the impression you are joking with us now?

Dam thought this was a thread about GUS POYET (a true god)

They may be eyewitness accounts, but they have been passed down, interpreted, and reinterpreted for the best part of 2,000 years.

Given the amount of rewriting of history that takes place on NSC (and many other outlets) within 24 hours of the event first taking place, then it is highly unlikely that the gospel is..................gospel.

Don't forget that they discounted most if not all of the women's eye witness accounts, just to make it that little bit more dogmatic.

 

[piersa]

if i recall correctly not one of the gospels is first hand witness, written several decades later and is translated through greek, to latin to modern langauages such as English, with the embelishment of several hundred years interpretation. different denominations, even f***ing different editions have changes. they are as historical as Shakespeare.

with identical stories to the egyptian book of the gods which was written about 1200 years prior to the bible if i recall correctly!

This mind you explore is something that has evolved from a monkey's brain, then back down to smaller mammal's brain, and eventually from single celled organism 'brain'. Did those single celled beings have minds worth exploring or did god add a little bit of magic at the human stage? what about Neanderthal's did they have the magic?

Single celled organisms dont have brains...

Back to biology 101 for you.

I get the impression you're incredibly closed minded.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Ahhh, not quite my friend. I believe in the process of reason and evidence. If you put some logic and evidence in front of me and it is objectively and testably true then I will believe that. You believe something that was written 2000 years ago (etc etc) and that the whole universe was created for humans (etc etc). You will not change your views based on evidence (or lack of) and are stuck in your dogma - that is absurd.

Its like believing that the world is flat because thats what everyone said at the beginning, even though its now evidently not true, you then choose to bury your head rather than admit you have chosen the wrong path.

You believe the Albion is the best football club in the world don't you?

I know I do...

Good, so do small mammals (with brains) have the magic?

 

[seagullmouse]

You believe the Albion is the best football club in the world don't you?

I know I do...

I know they are my favourite, but in no objective sense are they the best.

Your ignorance is no excuse for stupidity.

There's no point discussing it with you because you have a closed mind.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Your ignorance is no excuse for stupidity.

How am I ignorant when i'm open to all posibilities?

Surely you're the ignorant one if you assume you know the absolute truth.

 

[seagullmouse]

Closed minded? lets examine the evidence of this

You:
believe in Christian god and will not change this view
don't believe in all other beliefts, such as Hinduism etc etc etc

Me:
don't believe in any beliefts in gods, will happily change this view should evidence present itself (please send me some)

Don't discuss it if you know you are beaten... looks like you have come to the end of your road... if it gets confusing just believe in your magical god some more, now thats an open mind

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Your ignorance is no excuse for stupidity.

You don't even understand the concept of being an agnostic (yet you consider yourself one)and yet you have the gall to call others irgnorant and stupid.

Quite funny really.

 

[magoo]

Since it's now been proven beyond any shadow of doubt with a North Stand Chat poll that God does not exist can we now close the thread?

What's there to discuss with a mind like yours? You think single celled organisms have brains.

Thats tant amount to being a religious person who believes there's an old guy with a white beard who sits in the clouds.

This has ceased to be a real debate. good luck my friend. Keep believing the magic, it sounds like you need it
