as long as blood flows through my veins and catchy songs spins round in my head i dont care about religion i'll worry about that when im dead.

I tought I wouldn't touch this thread with a ten-foot-pole, but...
That timecube thing was very interesting.

From what I understood this guy somehow doesn't understand that just because it's midnight on the other side of the planet, while being noon here, it doesn't mean that they're two seperate planes of existance. (No, I could not understand a thing he was saying. There's a very informative picture. )

Makes one question everything. I mean, he's a human right. And I'm also, like, a human. So... what if, man!? What. If.

That's right. You have no idea.

the idea of an invisible man in the clouds that can see everything and everyone at all times, that created all that is. thats pretty batshit bonkers to me! ^_^

You're probably too into your "insufferable atheist" stage of atheism to notice BUT, the long, drawn-out analogy you are using to express that you are talking about god has been used to death. Find a new gimmick.

Okay, how about an invisible skywizard that is his own son, that sacrificed himself, to himself, to prevent that all the people he made, didn't automatically go straight to hell, without collecting their 200$, even if passing Start.

Why do you feel the need to mock religion so viciously? Your an asshole, and I am calling you out on it. You give atheists a bad name. Please stop.

I'm sorry, I don't normally mock religion, but you did ask for a "new gimmick". I will stop.

there is a conspiracy theory that Hitler survived WWII,cloned himself and hid in caverns deep underground with some scientist building UFO,s.

Theistic religions

New World Order/Illuminati

Holocaust deniers

Elvis living still being alive.

homosexuality being a choice.
PS
2012 (the Mayan calendar ends in 2112 not 2012 and Shadowrun already explained what,s going to happen)

Christ returning or Apocalypse et-al (or Christian "predicting" the end of the world) I read somewhere that humans aren't supposed to know when the world is going to end in Christian religions.

I watched an episode of Dr. Who which included the most brilliant villain race I have ever seen. It is a race of aliens whom you forget they ever existed the moment you look away from them, even on a photograph or recording. And thanks to the efforts of the Doctor, we've been killing off their species since the moon landing, and we have no idea that we're doing it.

 

[SD-Fiend]

Every single religion.

Well, that and a claim that any education past high school is really a scam.

Buddhism doesn't accept the idea of god; instead it focuses on the fact that there was a guy who done good things after a childhood of privilege and luxury, and like that guy(budha) buddhists believe that their purpose is to become better humans.

And I've learned that Buddhism isn't a religion as much as a religious lifestyle, so it doesn't count.

For the whole "lol religion one", disprove that a god (not in the christian sense, just a creator) exists, then you can laugh at it, until that point, you're in the "smug c*nt" category

Actually, atheists aren't the ones making a claim that something is, thus the burden of proof is on those who claim that there IS a creator.

If you go with the whole "can't be disproven" mindset you can believe whatever you want, regardless of how nutty it may be.

However, I can disprove that this creator is almighty, for those who believe that:
If the creator is almighty, can he create an object too heavy for him to lift?

If the creator can create an object too heavy for him to lift, he's not almighty because he can't lift it. If he can't create an object too heavy for him to lift, he's not almighty because he can't create it.

A better question is why would the creator bother to do that anyway?

String theory, hahahaha nice one! The universe existing as topological objects in however many space time dimensions you need for your maths to balance out, classic.

I don't know what you're laughing at General Relativity, you're not great either.

 

[Woodsey]

Religion, this 2012 business, and astrology. The usual stuff.

the idea of an invisible man in the clouds that can see everything and everyone at all times, that created all that is. thats pretty batshit bonkers to me! ^_^

Do you have to be so insulting about it?

I'm sure people's various gods will instill within them the strength to persevere through such horrific persecution.

Burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. If I told you I could fly and then in response to you asking to prove it, I told you to disprove it, I'd hope that you'd call me an idiot.

People need to learn that there is a difference between respecting other people's right to believe what they want, and respecting other people's beliefs. The former is important, the latter, not so much.

Ridiculous ideas are worthy only of ridicule.

Like faith, intelligent design, the "truth" about 9/11, sexuality being a matter of choice and/or a threat to society, the Mayans being able to predict the end of the world and every other arbitrary prediction that the world would end.

So recently here in good ol, America people have been theorizing that Tim Tebow,  an American football star who is devoutly religious, is the second coming of Christ, literally. Because the world is "supposedly" going to end this year many Americans have called Tebow a second coming because he has won some games he wasn't supposed to and because some of his stats from his latest game added up to 316 which is the book of revelation which from my limited knowledge of the bible states that Christ will return before the world is going to end in the form of someone famous and who seems to preform miracles. I see several holes in this theory one of which is why would Christ return in the form of someone only Americans give a shit about when there are Christians all over the world, also why would the Mayan calendar have anything to do with how the world is going to end according to Christians. So what are some of the craziest/stupidest theories someone has ever tell you.

316 is the Book of Revelation? Not sure what you are trying to say there.

According to Matthew 24:36, no one, not even Jesus knows the day or hour of his return. Interestingly enough, Jesus says 2 verses earlier that the generation at that time would see the end of the world in their lifetime.

Tebow had 316 yards passing in his playoff game against the Steelers. People are trying way too hard if they are trying to connect that to a Biblical prophecy. But yeah, this is probably the craziest thing I've heard in a while.

People will generally believe whatever is convenient for their world view.

I had a crazy theory that the NFL was completely rigged and all the coaches and team owners new who would win at the start of the season.

I don't think rigging an entire NFL season would be THAT difficult. You wouldn't even have to have the every player in on the scame, just the quarter back and one player with the ability to drop a football by "accident".

Maybe Tebow is doing so well because a bunch of rich Christians paid off the NFL so that the Broncos would do well and elevate Tebow to huge fame.

Maybe that sounds crazy, but the rigged NFL theory does explain Brett Farve.

Someone once told me they knew the Russians sent the 'Gay' over to Sanfrancisco during the cold war as a biological weapon against the USA but it got out of control.

It's no offense to me because despite your assumption that I'm a theist, I'm actually not. When theists say "You can't disprove it" it's not to mock the belief's of others, it's just a flimsy argument that doesn't seek to offend anyone; when atheists on the other hand use the immature "invisible etc etc" analogy it just makes atheists look like 13 year olds on XBL.

I don't understand. How is calling a god invisible, when he does in fact fit the definition of the word, a sign of immaturity? I don't even know if it's possible for anyone to debate this, regardless of what they believe. Some people choose to believe in an invisible best friend and some don't. It just seems to me that it's the former which is actually closer to a childlike mindset.

I predict some form of storm, definitely including faecal matter.

OT: There was a thread a few days ago that basically said MLP was a dark conspiracy to brainwash normal adult males to be "Kind" and "Caring". That was just too weird to handle. I could see the OP of that thread's point though, it is still a bit weird that some people have changed their behaviour after watching FiM. But that isn't anything to worry about.

as brainwashings go, "Make them all nice!" is about as diabolical as orphan hugs.

OT: we're all in the jam of a doughnut. the actual doughnut is space. the planets are the jam. but the doughnut is actually the shell of a turtle.

Do unreadable theories count? I would then suggest the timecube http://www.timecube.com/ You lose IQ from just trying to understand .

Everyone believes in something intangible based upon only faith; there's no personal harm to you if they want to believe it. If you mock harmless beliefs just because you don't agree THAT'S immature. Don't give me lines about Crusades, radicals, etc etc because, yea, we're all aware that religion as an institution is capable of some evils but every organized institution is capable of influence to their favor; the faith of individuals shouldn't be marginalized for the crimes of the institution that claims the same faith.

I once read that a certain group of people were revolutionary thinkers, whose new and radical world-view was destined to change the world and shake the existing order and ordinary people's way of life to its very foundations. You want to know what group this theory refers to?

Spoiler: Make sure you're sitting down!

Young-Earth Creationists!

Granted, the statement I'm referring to was published in Answers, a Christian science magazine, so I guess it's no surprise, but seriously?

I can agree that YECs have some radical ideas, but to call their ideas new and innovative and destined to change the world, when they're derived from 2000-ish-year-old manuscripts that have formed the cornerstone of Western civilization for at least a millennium, and are only now being (sort of, but not really) challenged by the actually new ideas presented in biology, physics, and other scientific fields, I think it's rather crazy that this guy expected his statement to be taken seriously.

A friend of mine is convinced that Kirk Cobain and Courtney Love are one and the same person, so Kirt is still alive (as is Elvis), has had a sex change and is now Courtney full time (don't as about all those pictures of them stood together, that leads him into a hour long explanation of camera trickery)

Edit: And I can't believe I just read that time cube bollocks!

 

[Buizel91]

My friend theorized that there is a penis constant, and every race is divided up penis equally between its members. So races with a higher population would get less penis. His explanation for Africa was that they had a high mortality rate. No I don't think he was serious but that's still the craziest theory I've ever heard.

Like wtf?!?!

OT: That the US government planned 9/11...

And that Osama Bin Laden is still alive...

*Sigh* what a world we live in...

 

[DrOswald]

Burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. If I told you I could fly and then in response to you asking to prove it, I told you to disprove it, I'd hope that you'd call me an idiot.

In this case, no one was making any claim that God is real, only that unprovoked mocking makes you a jerk. Also, if you want people to stop believing in something, then the burden of proof is on you. If you want someone to take action you must bring something of substance to the table. The same is true if you want someone to begin believing in something. The burden of proof is whoever is trying to convince someone else. It is on whoever is trying to change the status quo. Attempting to disprove something is just as much a claim as attempting to prove something. Especially if the individual has a lifetime of religious experiences you want them to ignore.

People need to learn that there is a difference between respecting other people's right to believe what they want, and respecting other people's beliefs. The former is important, the latter, not so much.

The first is indeed more important. But respecting others despite their beliefs is very important, even if you do not share them. This is not happening here. In this thread people are mocking the most important beliefs of others and by extension insulting them. If you do not believe that is fine, but making a deliberate attack against someone's beliefs with the intent of insult is crossing the boundary of good taste and moral decency.

I am a liberal in a family of staunch conservatives. I have a great deal of experience trying to convince people of my point of view. I have found that disrespect causes no change and only encourages hate. It has no redeeming value. However, showing respect at the very worst encourages cooperation and a free exchange of ideas. It may even help a misguided individual to see the light, so to speak.
