The Begining of the End.

[uscitizen]

In every heart, the Lord calls to you. But at the same time, so does Satan. It is the personal responsibility of each individual to choose whom he listens to. MHO.

Assuming either God or Satan existed , one can choose to listen to neither one.

no you can't if you deny one then you accept the other.

That is really pretty funny.

Thanks for the giggle.

That is like saying I have to either accept Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy.

 

[casper4020322]

Does personal experience count? I know there is a God b/c I have asked for God's help on numerous occasions and my prayers were always answered. For instance: before my husband died in 2007 he changed his insurance policy. As a result, when he died the policy had not matured so it would not pay for his funeral expenses. I asked my neighbor if he could co-sign for a loan at the credit union that I deal with and he agreed. I got the loan and paid off the funeral home. Not only that, but my co-workers collected over $300 to help with the funeral arrangements. If not for my heavenly father I don't know what I would have done.

What y'all are missing is this:

The Greatest Minds in our Planet's History, thru the centuries, using all the powers of human rationality and logic, came to the UNANIMOUS conclusion that:one cannot prove the EXISTENCE or the non-EXISTENCE of God.

One can confirm this UNIVERSAL FACT by calling the Chairman of the Dept of Philosophy in ANY reputable University IN THE WORLD.......and that Chairman of Philosophy, regardless of his Religion (if any) will verify that fact.

Even the Catholic Religion will admit that RELIGION CANNOT BE PROVED....IT CAN ONLY BE ACCEPTED ON FAITH !!!

Religion is a matter that one can ONLY accept on FAITH !!!

That's why EACH RELIGION IS DIFFERENT !!!

THAT IS WHY IT IS PRESUMPTUOUS FOR ANY ONE TO TOUT HIS OWN RELIGION AS THE "VOICE OF GOD"........AND BY THE SAME LOGIC TO PRESUMPTUOUSLY PROCLAIM THERE IS......OR.... THERE ISN'T A GOD !!!!

ANY ONE IGNORING REALITY, MAY BE WELL-INTENTIONED, BUT IS STILL FUCKING DELUSIONAL !!!

1. Who was the greatest mind?
2. I gotta mighty good mind.
3. Einstien was arguablly the greatest mind of the last century.
4. And even he realized that this world was no accident.
5. You my friend put too much stock in Philosophy, having read what you wrote.
6. I know your trying to find a belief system that will carry you through.
7. But its not working my friend.
8. But the one and only thing I know about you is you are on the right track in going after Islam, and all its evil teachings.
9. Koodoos to you for that!
10. God exists and I can prove it, but its not a good idea for me to do that.

CWS,

Dear friend.....and I feel that way about you (whether you like it or not) because you are obviously a nice, well-intentioned chap.

The sad truth, is that you are, among BILLIONS of others.....a DELUSIONAL WHACKJOB (when it pertains to "Religion").

For such is the GENERATIONAL FEAR installed from our ancestors on.....from the begining of time......in the need for "RELIGION" to form civilized societies (Do good...or the BOOGEY MAN IN THE SKY WILL PUNISH YOU...and vicey versi). One could almost believe that this is part of our DNA. And this FEAR of the "AFTER-LIFE" has resulted in all these MYTHOLOGIES that are the foundations of ALL the Organized Religions of the World.

If you look at the myths of the Jesus-figure....and trace each of his "godly" accomplishments......they are simply regurgitations of some mythology that predated his "story": "virgin birth, rising from the dead, walking on water, etc., etc., blah., blah., blah......all these are second hand moves that replicate one or another story from the ridiculous myths.

AS FOR RELIGION: THERE ARE NO PROOFS !!! THERE ARE NO MIRACLES !!!

EVER WONDER WHY THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY "MIRACLES" ONCE SCIENCE BECAME PROFICIENT IN DISPROVING THIS OUTRAGEOUS BULLSHIT ?!?!?

Religion has done a lot of good. It is a TREMENDOUS HELP to those who have lost all hope of a meaningfully bearable existence because of their horrific circumstances.....that is probably ANOTHER reason for the formulation of Religion.

HOWEVER, RELIGION CAN ALSO BE THE SOURCE OF GREAT EVIL AND HUMAN SUFFERING AS IRREFUTABLE HISTORICAL DOCUMENTATION CAN SHOW.

WHERE...FOR RELIGIOUS REASONS......MOSTLY BY THE FOLLOWERS OF THE GENTLE JESUS..... THERE WERE TENS OF MILLIONS OF HIDEOUSLY BUTCHERED THROUGHOUT THE CENTURIES.

We know, of course, that the Secular Abomination: Communism, has slaughtered a helluva lot more than Religious travesties. Then we had Genghiz Khan, Atilla...etc.

THESE RELIGIOUS VICTIMS WERE USUALLY BUTCHERED AFTER HORRENDOUS TORTURE. THE MOST PROMINENT EXAMPLE OF WHICH WERE THE VICTIMS OF THE CATHOLIC "SPANISH INQUISITION".....with the Popey-Dopey of Rome tacitly acquiescing to this hideous butchery by his favorite Jesuits under the SUPER MONSTER PSYCHO Savanarola.

Now CWS, you INVARIABLY dodge this segment of HISTORICAL REALITY with your usual babbling about SATAN, the unproven BOOGEY MAN of your Religion. I wish to hell you'd somehow swim outa this obvious river of DENIAL.....and confront the OBVIOUS TRUTH: Your CATHOLICISM has as much Historical EVIL as part of it's History....actually the MOST EVIL attached to it ....than any other Religion in the World !!!

So.....PUHLEEZE......stop exposing yourself as a well-meaning but DELUSIONAL Catholic Whackjob.

Actually, you are losing many a RATIONAL ARGUMENT when you bring up your UNPROVEN crappola in the form of the Religious BOOGEY MAN SATAN into the discussion.

You stated:

"1. Who was the greatest mind?
2. I gotta mighty good mind.
3. Einstien was arguablly the greatest mind of the last century.
4. And even he realized that this world was no accident."

Answer to (1): ALL the Greatest Philosophers in the History of this Planet: Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Spinoza, etc...Again, just call ANY Chairman of the Philosophy Dept in ANY reputable university .....and, regardless of the Religious beliefs of that Chairman, he/she will verify that: ALL of the Greatest Minds come to the same UNANIMOUS conclusion: The existence of God cannot be proven or disproven."

Answer to (2): You (and I) are insects compared to the Greatest Minds in the History of Mankind.

Answer to (3) & (4): You picked the wrong guy when you chose Einstein, my friend.
In spite of all the BULLSHIT you may read about Einstein's Religious beliefs...and one of the proponents of that BULLSHIT is the current Religious Pundit, the Catholic maven Desouza (sp) who claims that Einstein was a Christian, etc.

Well here are the facts regarding Einstein ( and you can delve deeper in researching that issue):

Einstein REPEATEDLY, and VOCIFEROUSLY denied that he was a Christian....and all the BULLSHIT associated with that Religion.

Einstein, VERY SPECIFICALLY, and on NUMEROUS OCCASIONS declared that, QUOTE: "My God....is SPINOZA'S God."

Einstein expanded on that by claiming that their (his & Spinoza's) God......IF HE EXISTED..... didn't have anything to do with human beings.....in other words....that God would be like the Sum Total of the Laws of the Universe. There isn't any Heaven or Hell specially designed for human beings.

Conclsionraying to such a "GOD" is like praying to a lightning so that it doesn't strike you. When we die.....we become fertilizer.....like the lowliest cockroach scurrying around hither and yon.

DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR ????

Well, if you read my posts were I discuss Religion and "GOD".......I ALWAYS proclaimed that: MY GOD IS EINSTEIN'S & SPINOZA'S "GOD".....if he exists.

BTW, I feel that the greatest intellectual achievement of my life is that: after months of tortured, sleepless nights pondering about "GOD" I came to the same conclusion about "GOD" as Einstein & Spinoza at age ~13 WITHOUT KNOWING OF THEIR OPINION !!!

I'm not going to give you the chapter and verse, links etc. I don't have the time.

However, I suggest you do a helluva lot more research on Einstein's religious beliefs before you quote them. Especially since you're really into this Religious thingy.

2. You light candles, won't go under a ladder, avoid black cats, throw salt over your left shoulder when spilt, bread and butter, do certain things a certain way for luck, you know its true, and all atheists do it, this is indeed the connection with evil, its Satans evil way to claim your soul by *default*, and I know you will protest strongly, but if you were wise, you would except my words, and walk away softly, and think about what I just said.
3. Ropey being in his faith is in this just as much as you are, his superstitions are far deeper, and carry far more weight around his neck, than you will never know.

This is superstition, not atheism. The two have nothing to do with one another.

I simply believe in personal responsibility, and I take such for every decision I make in my life.

1. This I can not believe.
2. I have my reasons, and its easy to see this is false.

Why can't you believe in that? You say you have your reasons, yet you can't actually provide them? Please, share your silly reasons. I look forward to laughing at them.

Until that point, realize that atheism is correlated with lower crime rates compared to religion, which tends to suggest that there is a belief in personal responsibility.

2. And if you resist belief in God, by default, you end up following Satan,

This is one of the most ridiculous things I have yet to hear you say, and you've said some really really moronic things in the past. Do you mean to say, even in your belief system, that there is no neutral ground? That it is IMPOSSIBLE to ignore both and just guide yourself? Absolutely ridiculous that your religious zealotry disallows neutrality. This is something I thought only happened in bad movie scripts. The "you're either with us or against us" line is just short sighted and immature.

There are great people in this world doing great things, and it has nothing to do with your childish notions of being influenced by invisible mythical beings.

You know there is a God because your husband died?! But there happened to be a small monetary consolation so therefore everything is good? Lady, I generally let grieving people alone, but that is a POOR manner in honoring your husband. Thank God for the time you had together. Believe in your religion for the time that was granted or the children you may have had together. Don't become a believer over $300.

1. Atheists are not without a belief system, if you were honset, you would say what they are, you believe in the common good of humans, or some general view, that keeps everything into some sort of prospective, or have some sort of superstitions, or something thats un a subconsious level you don't dare to say outloud, or for that matter confess to here on the internet, everyone who claims to have no *belief* is a *Liar*, everyone believes in something.
2. You light candles, won't go under a ladder, avoid black cats, throw salt over your left shoulder when spilt, bread and butter, do certain things a certain way for luck, you know its true, and all atheists do it, this is indeed the connection with evil, its Satans evil way to claim your soul by *default*, and I know you will protest strongly, but if you were wise, you would except my words, and walk away softly, and think about what I just said.

I have no supersticions at all.
I admit I am uncommon but I am sure not unique in my non belief of any grand deity or after life.
I do not consider myself evil since I try and treat others as I would like to be treated by them.
But no I never did believe n supersticians, well maybe santa claus up till about 3 or something, but adults were lying to me about that.

some supersticians are just based oin common sense, it is not smart to walk under a ladder. You might get something dropped on you or bump the ladder and cause one on the ladder to fall.

1. I can't agree with this either, you have superstitions, you just don't want to admit it.
2. If you think about it, you will locate one in your everyday life, if you start to listen to yourself more closely.
3. And when you see it, know that Satan is the one behind it.

CWS,

Have you READ any of my posts ???

Have you actually THOUGHT about what I stated ???

I get the distinct impression that you blithely IGNORED what I stated and simply kept launching into your babble about BOOGEY MAN SATAN, and what YOU interpret to be God's Will as though you just had a chat with him.

HOW CAN YOU BE SO OBLIVIOUS OF IRREFUTABLE DOCUMENTED HISTORY ????

You CONSISTENTLY IGNORE HISTORY and just carry on as if those HISTORICAL INCIDENCES NEVER OCCURRED.....OR, HAVE ZERO RELIGIOUS SIGNIFICANCE !!!

HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU LEARN ANYTHING IF YOU DON'T ACCEPT THE FACTS OF IRREFUTABLE DOCUMENTED HISTORY AND MAKE THE MOST ELEMENTARY LOGICAL DEDUCTIONS ?!?!?

You are so DELUSIONAL, and in DENIAL......that you accept the REGURGITATED, OBVIOUSLY BOGUS and UNREALISTIC MYTHS of the BIBLE over the IRREFUTABLE DOCUMENTED HISTORY THAT REFLECT REALITY !!!

Let me ask you a NO BRAINER (and don't dodge it with crappola):

Which reflects REALITY better ?

Answer: (A) The Bible.
(B) History's Documented Evidence that has been tested by the passage of time. Example: Approximated number of deaths of Allies, Russians, or Jews, etc in WWII, etc.

In deciding (A) or (B)......we are obviously not referring to a specific event that occurred in BOTH the Bible and the Historical event like the " Russian deaths in WWII" since there is a "time" disconnect. We are referring to the general TRUTH of indicated statements, like the Biblical assertions that: Moses got the Ten Commandments from God, Daughter's of Job turning into pillars of salt, etc., etc., etc., (which in my opinion is bullshit).

JUST ANSWER (A) or (B).

This will conclusively determine if it's worth discussing Religious Matters with you.....or that you are a hopelessly Delusional Religious Person and further discourse on this subject with you is a monumental waste of time.....for you and me.

Which ever way it goes. I will still consider you an extremely likeable, and well-intentioned chap.

4. Thats the way its always been, and thats the way its always going to be.
5. You will never in a million years be able to seperate me from my belief in God, if you had a million years to try.
6. So this is what we call down here in Texas as, *A Mexican Stand Off*.
7. We just agree to disagree, and go to our seperate corners.
8. I will live over here, comfortable in my faith, while you can live over there, where you are, in disbelief, within or without any comforts.
9. You will find out at the end, I suppose, and I will wake up from this world and be welcomed into the next, where Jesus is.
10. Its really that simple, we all can make the dissision I have made, and follow Jesus Christs invitation, its open, and its free to all, you just have to knock, is all.
11. No one can avoid this truth, its grounded on solid rock truth, and will not expire, you either accept it, or you take your chances, and just have to see what happens in your ending.

Seems like your one of those who thank god when something good happens as the situation suits you how much money did god give to your funeral expenses *NOTHING* it was given by your kind niegbors and friends at work .
did you ask them all if they were believers ?
if some of them where not then according to the bullshit written here by the bible thumpers they must be with the devil so the money collected was his work .

DONT FORGET TO THANK HIM
cant you see how illusory your believe is.
many of my friends are with out faith and we give generously to causes like the one you posted about above

so who should the beneficiarys of that generosity thank ????

many a helping hand with money, time and support is given to others by atheists .

your christians need to get rid of the idea that you are the only one who help those in need ..

most of the time the problem HUNGER . WAR , DECEASE is caused by religious action



You can make any situation *gods work if you choose to but you never credit him for anything that is not to your advantage as in your husband changing his insurance so it didnt pay for the funeral

if your both were with *god* that was his work also .

nobody has yet answered the question ABOUT US ATHEIST
What are we doing wrong ?

better still what are you morons doing right?

better spend your time improving your life and helping others improve theirs instead of of worshiping this voodoo nonsense .

me and you are only one god away from believing the same thing .

i dont believe in your god.
you dont believe in any other god
i reject your god for the same reason you reject all the others .

1. Well, *G* if you knew what I know you wouldn't be like you are, this I can tell you plainly.
2. I read through your stuff, and all I can do is wonder how did you go so very wrong with your choices.
3. I don't know much about your history, upbringing, as you don't of mine, but I would guess the trouble lays somewhere there.
4. Because we all are the sum total of the history we have lived, my history with God is quite rich, and varied, I have counted upon God my entire life, and with Gods help, I have been sustained, and blessed, and shown in a personal way, Gods face.
5. Those who never find the path to God, surely have lived a checkered life, more than they would like to admit.
6. The thing about me and my past, I have seen the face of God, and also have seen the face of Satan, and I can asure you, they are very real, and very different.
7. They are what we Christians call, *night and day*, in difference.
8. If ever you come to the knowledge of God, you will have to peel away the outer man who you pretend to be, like an onion, the old man needs to fall away, then will all be revealed, like never before.
9. Those who love Jesus, myself included, will find peace in chaos, this peace is the fruit of Christs blessings upon us, and while living in this world, we will also be made privy to who Satan is, you can't sling a dead cat without seeing Satan's work across the world in any news cast.
10. Its gotten so bad, these days, that even some news channels work directly for Satan's interests, without even knowing it, or do they know it, and just play along.
11. You will have to decide yourself, if I have a foot in reality, I for one know that I do, but still you have to decide for yourself.

6. The thing about me and my past, I have seen the face of God, and also have seen the face of Satan, and I can asure you, they are very real, and very different.
7. They are what we Christians call, *night and day*, in difference.
8. If ever you come to the knowledge of God, you will have to peel away the outer man who you pretend to be, like an onion, the old man needs to fall away, then will all be revealed, like never before.
9. Those who love Jesus, myself included, will find peace in chaos, this peace is the fruit of Christs blessings upon us, and while living in this world, we will also be made privy to who Satan is, you can't sling a dead cat without seeing Satan's work across the world in any news cast.
10. Its gotten so bad, these days, that even some news channels work directly for Satan's interests, without even knowing it, or do they know it, and just play along.
11. You will have to decide yourself, if I have a foot in reality, I for one know that I do, but still you have to decide for yourself.

CWS,

Bottom line: NO (A) or (B). But, a helluva lot of religious verbiage with the predictable BOOGY MAN i.e, SATAN. Hence the usual dodge.

Conclusion: It's a B: To you there is more REALITY in the BIBLE, where one has crappola like: Moses getting the 10 Commandment thingy from The Man-like Apparition in the sky, walking on H2O, rising from the dead, people turning into pillars of salt, etc.......than in DOCUMENTED HISTORY tested by the passage of time.

Was just curious.

BTW, I understand. You're not unusual. There are BILLIONS like you.

I am the one that's unusual.

Chesswarnow: why ignore my last post? As well as the points in it and gautama's question?

I was not sure if that post was sarcasm or not.

If not, the poster is giving god credit for what some fine folks did.

I think it's safe to say that the poster should be giving those fine folks the credit then.
