Proove to me how this is not true?


If you can't proove this to me but still don't think that it's true then god does not exist.


Because there is no proof for the existance of god either, and yet you argue that god can't be disproven.


If god can't be disproven, then me being stoned makes me a genius can't be disproven.

You're comparing being stoned, to the existence of God? That must be a GS first...

Its true! When your stoned, everything, like and the meaning of life seems to make more sense. Me and my friends had many a disccussion, about it all, and we touched some very deep, serious matters

Being stoned makes you think your a genius because every thought you get, sounds like a great idea. When the next day rolls around, either you won't remember what that idea was, or you'll realise it was stupid. I know from experience.

Either you argue that god cannot be disproven or you don't.


You cannot undermine your own logic by not believing that me being stoned makes me a genious because it cannot be diproven.


So am I a genious or do you renounce your faith in god? Must everything be proven or mustn't it?

Correction: being stoned makes you think you're a genius.Etheral_Filcher

*sighs* So true. There was a guy in my Philosophy class who would always turn up stoned.... And he thought he was making all these really intelligent and/or funny comments.... but really, he was just irritating everyone and disrupting the class.

I can believe what I want. I don't need proof to do that. I just need my own judgement.

Why does God need to be proved? Somethings are unknown for the better. And I'm sure scientific tests can easily prove that being stoned does NOT make you a genius.

No it doesn't.  It does heighten my brain activity, I can think harder on topics that require more attention, but in no way does it make me a genius.  You're just as likely to become a genius by praying, in that it'll never happen.  We can't prove you wrong because all we have is your word, and for all we know, your word is like a hair in my soup.  But for now we're just going to assume you're wrong, because quite frankly, your statements do not sound like the words of a genius.  You sound like a man on PCP, or possibly crystal meth.

Isn't that the point though? All you have is my word, so you assume that I am wrong.


I know it's politically correct to humour religious people, but all we have to go on are the words in the bible, and they don't offer up any proof whatsoever.

Smoking pot does not make you smarter. It makes you stupider. Studies have proven that each time you get stoned, you lose brain cells.

I've come up with some actual good ideas while stoned. You just have to write them down in detail to remember what you were thinking the next day. Its not the best for doing technical stuff like math, physics and chemistry but its good for writing english papers and stuff.

Bleh. Not true.

Study Link 2

As you can see from these links, cannabis protects brain cells from alcohol related death, and creates more lateral connections between the left and right centers of the brain. Both of those websites link to their sources.

It very well can...but that's besides the point.  We're not trying to disprove the existence of a higher power, we're trying to disprove this man's theory that he is a genius.  All we have is his word and his crazy ramblings, so the evidence is against him.  Unless of course his theory is that he must be a genius if God exists, due to the words that we are given to rely on.  Which isn't a very strong argument.  Descartes tried a similar argument to prove God's existence, and that argument has as many holes as this one.  Of the two premises required to come to the conclusion that he is a genius, one of them is based entirely on assumption, which is unacceptable as either rational or empirical fact. 

Conclusion:  You may very well be a genius, Lilac, but the argument you've given to support yourself is flawed.  Which technically means you're not a genius, to have slipped up like that.  But I'll take your word for it.

You should take an IQ test while you're stoned and then show us the results.

Then I'd probably believe you.

But an educated guess is a long way from mere belief.


So it's not that you believe in god. It is that you have made an educated guess and come to the conclusion that god exists. May I ask you how you came to such a conclusion? For my "souls" benefit, lets say.

Of course not.

The way science works is that, in order for something to be considered true, a scientist must first proove that it is true with conclusive evidence.

I require evidence to proove that something is true. Not the other way around. Just as you require evidence from me to proove that I am a genious, and I don't ask for you to proove that I am not.

[QUOTE="killtactics"][QUOTE="Lilac_Benjie"][QUOTE="killtactics"][QUOTE="Lilac_Benjie"][QUOTE="crucifine"]No it doesn't. It does heighten my brain activity, I can think harder on topics that require more attention, but in no way does it make me a genius. You're just as likely to become a genius by praying, in that it'll never happen. We can't prove you wrong because all we have is your word, and for all we know, your word is like a hair in my soup.

Isn't that the point though? All you have is my word, so you assume that I am wrong.


I know it's politically correct to humour religious people, but all we have to go on are the words in the bible, and they don't offer up any proof whatsoever.

ok.. proof that the world/ space/ reaity could be with out God... see its called educated guess...



So you are telling me religious people make an "educated guess" to believe in god?

ummm yes... its just as "educated" as saying there is no God...



But an educated guess is a long way from mere belief.


So it's not that you believe in god. It is that you have made an educated guess and come to the conclusion that god exists. May I ask you how you came to such a conclusion? For my "souls" benefit, lets say.

lol when did i say i did? my point is u have to come to one of the two conclusions... they both have equal evidence of being righ which is non... i just dont like ppl that attack religion b/c clearly there is sooo much evidence that dis proves God...

It very well can...but that's besides the point. We're not trying to disprove the existence of a higher power, we're trying to disprove this man's theory that he is a genius. All we have is his word and his crazy ramblings, so the evidence is against him. Unless of course his theory is that he must be a genius if God exists, due to the words that we are given to rely on. Which isn't a very strong argument. Descartes tried a similar argument to prove God's existence, and that argument has as many holes as this one. Of the two premises required to come to the conclusion that he is a genius, one of them is based entirely on assumption, which is unacceptable as either rational or empirical fact.

Conclusion: You may very well be a genius, Lilac, but the argument you've given to support yourself is flawed. Which technically means you're not a genius, to have slipped up like that. But I'll take your word for it.



I don't think I'm a genius though. I do, however, believe that some sort of evidence is required before I put my faith in some words, just like you claim to do in your post.

yet u require no evidence that says there is no god?



Of course not.

ok you require evidence... then what is the evidence that there is not a God?

He wanted to know how I think the universe existed without God?  I think that the universe we live in exists in fragments of itself.  Everytime someone makes popcorn, they are playing out the entire universe in one kernel.  I am also of the belief that the universe is cyclic, that it will repeat itself and has repeated itself for zillions of years, or, alternately, cycles in a microwave.

"Yay. All religions might be true. Who knows?"


Bleh. It is politically incorrect to ask people for scientific conclusiveness. We never left the dark ages, did we?

Well actually there is no evidence saying god does or does not exist, however people have flung themselves out of windows for thinking that they were Superman as a result of being stoned. Not a good comparison...

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"]I like to use common sense in such situations...Lilac_Benjie



Either you argue that god cannot be disproven or you don't.


You cannot undermine your own logic by not believing that me being stoned makes me a genius because it cannot be diproven.


So am I a genius or do you renounce your faith in god? Must everything be proven or mustn't it?

When you get high your braincells die making you less smart. How can you compare those two things? You must be high now.

The scientific conclusiveness that there is no god is that there is no scientific conclusiveness that anything written in the bible has even the slightest bit of scientific relevance about it whatsoever.

Proove to me how this is not true?

If you can't proove this to me but still don't think that it's true then god does not exist.

Because there is no proof for the existance of god either, and yet you argue that god can't be disproven.

If god can't be disproven, then me being stoned makes me a genius can't be disproven.Lilac_Benjie
