General Religious Discussion / Re: Prove There Is No God - A Challenge

« Last post by skeptic54768 on Today at 01:44:11 PM »

Feminism encourages women to leave their husband, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians – Pat Robertson, Christian Coalition.

Atheistic, secular humanists should be removed from office and Christians should be elected; Government and True Christianity are inseparable – Robert Simonds Citizens for Excellence in Education.

When the Christian Majority take over this country there will be no satanic churches, no free distribution of pornography no more talk of rights for homosexuals – Gary Potter, Christians for Political Action

AIDS is a racial disease of Jews and Niggers, and fortunately it is wiping out the queers. I guess God hates queers for several reasons. J.B. Stoner

Nobody on this planet has the right to worship any other God but Jehovah – Josephy Morecraft Chalcedon Presbyterian Church

These people are Christians. They are Christian leaders. There are many more like them. They speak to the converted. This is the beginning of a fundamentalist state.

Look up the people, see who they are and what they represent. You can see how they think... or rather "don't think."

You are going to tell me that "These people are not Christians!" that would be stupid, they are.

They are trying to use the religion for control and power. This was the complete opposite of what Jesus said. Don't worry, when the tribulation occurs, these people will be worshipping the Beast.

What are you trying to prove?

Nothing really, rather I am awaiting you to prove that omnipotence can exist.

That God is only 99.99999999999999999999% omipotent instead of 100%?

99% of infinity is still infinity.
Are you really that dull, or did you fail maths class?

So I take it that when an atheist tries to lecture me on evolution, I will calmly say "You are not a scientist. it's not your field of study."

Would that be OK?

If they do not know enough about evolution, be my guest.

If they just insert it into conversation, go for it.  Just make sure that you didn't ask a question about it first, or display an incomplete or erroneous level of knowledge about it.  Since it clearly isn't YOUR field of study, you will of course not claim to have an opinion on it in future.

How do you reoncile the fact that you claim to hate indoctrination and listening to what others say when atheists form their opinions based on what Dawkins, Hitchens, and Harris say? I see atheists quoting them as often as Christians quote the Bible!

Agreement and indoctrination are two different things. Personally I have never quoted any of them on here.

Whoa whoa, slow down there.

A: as "atheist" is the lack of a belief, you cannot make the claim that it is fact that atheists hate indoctrination and form opinions from Dawkins (etc).
B: most quotes from those people as factual, and are good to use when discussing the relevant topics.
C: please try to remember the definition of atheist, and thus choose better wording.

And again, i would like you to show that omnipotence is not nonsense.

Chatter / Re: 'How' vs. 'why

« Last post by Anfauglir on Today at 01:37:30 PM »

In other words, EVERY "How" question is ultimately a "Why" question, surely?

I disagree.  "How" is more about mechanisms, whereas "why" is more about purpose.  Or at least that's the distinction dictionary.com gives.

Yes.  But given that EVERY mechanism was allegedly created rather than "happened", I see no reason why the "why" should not follow.  Why IS the speed of light, the force of gravity, the fact that Hydrogen happily bonds with Oxygen to make water?  What is the purpose in making only a tiny fraction of the electromagnetic spectrum visible to humans - the pinnacle of god's creation?

Wrong again, Mr. "skeptic". I hadn't even heard of any of those guys until I joined this forum. And even then, only after a long while. And even then, I don't give two shits what they say about God; only what they say in their respective areas of study. And even then, I only know Dawkins's and Hitchens's areas of study. And I'm not even sure about Hitchens's.
