Scale of the Universe made me realise how AMAZING God is.

Do you wish for there to be a large population of people who think that 1 + 1 = 3?

Do you wish for it to be politically un-correct to ever say that 1 + 1 = 2 or to say that the people who believe 1 + 1 = 3 are wrong because it would offend those who have different opinions?

Would you be saddened if the majority of OT believed that 1 + 1 = 3?

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]

... No.. I accept the fact that people have difference of opinions from my self.. I hope for such a thing, because the world would be boring if we all agreed on things.. The fact of the matter is people of Atheist standing should not be treated like lepers.. Saddened? How about people showing humility that their way may not be the way for others.. For a religion that claims often times (regardless of the religion) to show humility, many followers sure seem to illustrate a clear lack of it.

Never said they were absolutely equivalent. It doesn't change the fact that one group is correct while the other is wrong. Silenthps

Not with something you can not prove that lies in the realm of metaphysics.. So yet again.. No there is no right or wrong answer, because it can't be proven in the end.. Hence faith is needed.

:| What does have anything to do with what we are discussing.. We are discussing the metaphysics/supernatural/religion.. It is a completely intangible idea.. The things your stating are things that has nothing to do with faith NOTHING.. Life is not black and white.. its many shades grey..

[QUOTE="Silenthps"][QUOTE="xaos"] Yes, because matters of faith are absolutely equivalent to basic arithmetic. Hopelessly busted analogy is hopelessly busted.sSubZerOo

You don't get it do you? YOUR NOT LOOKING GODS FACE.. WE HAVE NO REAL EVIDENCE of god, it is a matter FAITH.

He could be burning in hell for a million years yet still hold on to the belief that maybe he is hallucinating or that this is all one big dream.

THIS HAS nothing to do with my point..

And just like how God can't be proven, neither can 1 + 1 = 2 since you can always say that maybe all human logic is faulty or maybe everything is one big dream and in reality 1 + 1 does = 3. Since both require faith, the analogy still stands.

Seriously stop using that analogy it doesn't make sense.. We can prove that 1+1= 2, we can not prove the existence of god.. It is a article of faith..

[QUOTE="xaos"][QUOTE="Silenthps"]You're assuming that doing objective and verifiable harm is unethical. What if i don't believe it is unethical? Would it make you sad? Or would it make you happy that life would be less boring with more people having different beliefs?Silenthps

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]

[QUOTE="Silenthps"]Yeah you're right, it can't be proven. The atheist can look God dead in the face and still say He doesn't exist.

Of course.. I never stated otherwise.. We do a lot of faith in everything.. But yet again that doesn't make the faith of one person's belief in the supernatural is better or correct of the other.. They can not be proven.. For the last time.. There is no point in trying to argue whether a Atheist is correct or a Christian (or any one really who believes in a god or gods) because they articles of faith or lack thereof.. Furthermore yes life would be boring if we didn't have disagreements, nor would learn and grow from one another. In fact our entire individuality is based upon that, that we all have our unique perspective of life along with the ideas that are formed from them.

[QUOTE="xaos"][QUOTE="Silenthps"]And who are you to decide what ethics is? Silenthps

Ethics in many areas are not absolute.. They have changed as cultures of the world have progressed.. The ethics of one culture can be quite different from another in many regards.

Oh no, you made zeus mad. :(

[QUOTE="Silenthps"]He put us on a tiny tiny tiny planet to give us a taste of how big big big He truly is. Thats actually a really bad question. Would putting us on a larger planet prove that he created us. Your question on who created God is also pretty absurd since God is by definition un-created. It's like asking, who created the uncreated God? xaos

I did in an alternate reality. :o

Why?

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]

[QUOTE="Silenthps"] It's sad, you don't even realize how much faith you put in everything you do in life. How do you even know what "real evidence" is? what is the definition of "real evidence" and how did you come up with that definition? You're putting faith in your own ability to even determine what real evidence is. And you're putting faith in your ability to know rather or not 1 + 1 = 2Silenthps

Not when it comes to the metaphysics.. Where religion lies.. In which this entire thread more or less is about..

Not feeling the amazement today

Yeah, yeah...

Can we have your liver then?

Yup, bog sure is amazing. :S

heh god busted, religion is an evolutionary responce to keep you from jumping off a cliff at the absurdity and futility of existence.

now that the cause of the disease that has brought so much misery to world has been found we can hope for a cure with medication or surgery.

there are questions and problems that need to be addressed in the modern world and not only does religion not answer these questions it actively seeks to stop progress.

so on top of being evil religion is obsolete.
