Just wondering if I can post threads of an atheistic nature...
Don't want to step on the toes, I'm aware that the owner of this site is a devout Catholic.
Don't want to be disrespectful either, just willing to talk about "the other side of the coin" when it comes to religious thought, if anyone's interested.

I'm interested in this as well. I would like to talk about my religious views but at the same time I don't want to step on any feathers and I understand that religion can be an even more touchy subject than politics. Please let us know either way.

I do hope though that any discussions that happen between theists and non-theists remains not only respectful but also very civil.

I would hope that this site remains very open to all. I think we need to let the ideas battle out their merits and accept the fact that nobody can make anyone believe anything. BUT- as we collect up facts and weigh arguments, let us not use deception or tolerate the use of deception.

Our beliefs change as we gain more knowledge and insights to reality. A good fight every now and then will give us new views. Ultimately, I hope we would all seek truth and attempt to convey truth to others.

I think posts about Atheism fall into the "Religion and Philosophy" category. That might be why they labeled it that way.

I think you might be correct as John made the category not me.

Personally I would never discourage good discussion and debate. It's just knowing when to let it go.

Problem some people can't do that.

Hopefully this site remains free to all viewpoints, I want to hear every side of every issue and let the Truth win.


What pissed me about the religion discussion at GIM was that it so often turned into a bloodbath where people got banned. For example I got banned (by skyvike) for making a post entitled "Judeo Christianity Makes Me Sick" as a Christian myself it was in no means an attack on religion just my own personal disgust at how far we have strayed from the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Here is the article for anyone interested.

The head of my church used to hang out a lot with drunks and whores, so I think we ought to follow his example.

How about we agree not to bash each other's religion? Like it's ok to say "I don't believe that book," but not to say "Only morons believe that book."

I would stand shoulder to shoulder with religious folks to defend their right to believe what they want. I would like to think the religious types would reciprocate...

Forget the labels ,this or that we are all children of life you must admit,and remember when you where a child there where no labels, everything just was and you looked and saw the world as it was without labels but with innocence.

They have taken that away from us.

I have no religion as such but love life and all things init but am not going to label myself as an atheist,whatever that is.

Love is deeper then superficial religions perhaps.

If I were to asked you "Do you believe in God" and you say NO......what you then would be telling me is that THERE IS A GO but that you simply don't believe in him.

To me the correct answer would be "I have no opinion on that subject"

What do you think about this?

To be honest....I don't think I believe that.

Its hard for me to believe that someone would not have an opinion of something like that.

I do believe that maybe you don't wanna talk about it.

Or that maybe you feel that you don't know enough about it to state an opinion.

But Ponce, I know your an intelligent person.
And Im pretty sure you have thought about this subject before.

But Im not gonna press you to talk about it.

However you did post here......So maybe you kinda do wanna talk about it?

When people are honestly seeking truth, it can lead to some strange places.

One thing that has been evidence of the One True God, is His foretelling of future events. You may be willing to re-look at this idea of a God when the prophesied end days are clear to you. Earthquakes & volcanoes unlike any time in history will become active. We are already seeing the beginning of sorrows. Also, watch for strange displays in the sky. The "scientists" will come up with plausible explanations, but none of them warned about these 10, 20, 200 or 2000 years ago. The best they could come up with is global warming and carbon taxes.

singular_me
6th April 2010, 07:05 AM
if you believe that earth has always had the same shape and temperatures, your posting makes sense. That is precisely what they try to convince you about with the Global warming (fake) agenda.

or maybe are you implying that earth/temperature changes are acts of God?
Natures has cycles, like just everything else, that is what Life in the electric and polarized Universe is about, changes are constant theories. But going that road seems to go along with paganism in the end. ;D

You know, eventually earth will be burned away by a giant red sun... only knowledge will allow us to escape death, having spaceships and looking for other faraway worlds... God, via knowledge, gives ALWAYS us a choice. Then eventually will find a similar earth and maybe ppl living there, in a not so advanced civilization, will see us as gods and create a new mythology/religion about us. (Their elites will try to keep most of the knowledge we taught them for themselves). We will warn them of possible cosmic, social and economic disasters and they will believe us. Rightfully so... and further, we might help them a little bit by re-ingeneering their DNA, so that they become smarter... then abandon the planet in quest of more explorations because space traveling will have become our new mantra... once in a while we will return to see how civilizations we have influenced are doing and perhas interact with them again... how plausible is all this?

There is that pesky problem of the Van Allen Radiation Belt. Man has never crossed through it, nor can he cross through it in his mortal body.

Sorry, but if you examine the evidence it is conclusive that we've never been to the moon. It is a hoax, and it ties right in with the theory of

evolution. All a part of the Big Lie, the strong delusion that God will give people up to if they will not believe the truth.



2 Thessalonians 2:3-12 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that

man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he

as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these

things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he

who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the

spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with

all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not

the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

If I recall, the Supreme Court actually ruled that "Secular Humanism" is a bonafide religion right along the ranks of Christianity and Buddhism. So, I guess that means yes, yes you can post about atheism here!

"The Supreme Court refers to the important 1957 case of Washington Ethical Society v. District of Columbia (101 U.S. App. D.C. 371) in its holding that Secular Humanism is a non-theistic religion within the meaning of the First Amendment."

I'm agnostic and what you said is more than fair. On the same level, it is not ok to say "Morons don't believe that book."

Thanks for your post. :)

Very good answer.
To communicate effectively one must be able to understand the meaning of the language as it is understood by the person posing the question.

Other than that it's kinda like explaining color to a blind person thru music. Wait, what? ???

Penguins can swim and didn't need to be put on the ark, duh!

I wanted to become an atheist once, so I could kill people for fun and not have any conscience about it, or worry about being judged later.
Then I realized, I got my morals from a society of Christian teachings, 10 commandments, etc. I gave up on the whole idea.

Darwin was not even a scientist, he was a FAILED preacher who became a story teller spinning fables.
Who believes in creation BECAUSE of the PREMISE (implied in this drawing) that Darwin is wrong?
