evil

Jack Chick should do a tract about me. With all the little footnotes to the relevant verses of the Bible, y'know? Confessions Of An Evil Atheist I must admit, I’m always thrilled By evil --- though I’ve never killed (Thus far, potential victims have escaped). I’ve not committed genocide ---...

http://accstudios.com/ Hmmm, ahhh, yeah. I lean to the right, but this is the kind of stuff that scares the poop out of me "It is 2021, tomorrow is the 20th anniversary of 9/11. America is under oppression by ultra-liberal extremists who have surrendered governing authority to the United...

I picked up on this quote while watching Dawkins on TV last week. I'd not come across it before and it has stuck rather strongly in my mind. I wondered what your thoughts were on it. .

Did anyone else catch Dawkin's 2-part documentary special on the BBC? It was called The Root of All Evil. Part one was "The God Delusion" and part two was "The Virus Of Faith". I'd link to a bit more info on it but I've got a few more posts ahead of me before I can! Anyways, I was just curious...

Ok Christianity’s basic most basic tenet. “Whoever so believes in me (Jesus) shall have everlasting life” Meaning, if you have the faith, you go dwell in heaven after judgment day, if not, eternal damnation. Simple enough. So Average Joe (true faith) goes to heaven Average Joe (lack of faith)...

Richard Dawkins's new show about religion. It's on TV right now in the UK. It's good. Worth talking about. Describing God as an imaginary 'Alpha Male in the sky.' I love British TV sometimes. More in a minute.

I have a thing about 5" long and 35 lbs. It is currently hung up overhead using 130lb. leader wire. In order to make it more appealing I want to replace the black wire with clear monofilm. I was wondering about the actual test that I really need. Am I correct in assuming that if one...

Okay, I don't see it on the page but I KNOW I'm probably reposting it. If so, I apologize. Credit to whoever found this on ebaumsworld...can't wait for Randi to discuss this if he hasn't already. http://www.virtuallystrange.net/ufo/ufoupdates/listers/monterrey/ Police officer claims a ghostly...

This has been prompted by the thread set-up by BJQ87 entitled: “lets actually make a rational argument out of the problem of evil for once” I started a new thread as I didn’t want to derail the existing one. You see, I get very annoyed when people tell me that God is love, especially when...

Well I wrote this essay in my philosophy of religions class about a week ago, then I joined this forum and read that "there is no God and you know it" post and thought, hey there might be some people who would be interested in a biblical response to the so called "problem of evil" so here it...

Anyone see the 2nd Resident Evil movie with Mila Jovovich? Remember how the townspeople were cordoned off and not allowed to escape the city because of the T virus? Well, apparently using the military to contain a quarantine in a major U.S. city has already been thought about by the Bush...

That's right, there is no evidence supporting that traffic lights actually do anything except drive people into murderous rage which causes fatal accidents. (Why, I knew this one little boy, who would get mad every time the light went from green to yellow. One day he snapped and shot up an...

The HSV Technologies website is down at the moment; so to know what I'm talking about read this A device that conducts electricity out to two km to stop criminals without killing them. Great, great idea. But if you can send electricity like that though; what keeps someone from stealing one of...

An incredible site with a chronological account of the actions of the WORST American President ever! http://www.wage-slave.org/scorecard.html

Suppose that there is a God, but that God doesn't think of people as being God's children. Given such a God, is there no problem of evil or suffering? Compared to a diseased squirrel, a human being might seem to have the mental capacities of a god. If a particular human being doesn't go to...

The claim is: if God is able but unwilling to relieve suffering of people, then God is not good. The assumption is that people are entitled to expect God to put in an effort for them. Take away that assumption. 1. Have you actually offered to do something that you can do and that God wants...

This is perhaps just a quibble, but I dislike when people use the word 'evil' when referring to politics, or for that matter any natural or temporal subject. 'Evil' has strong supernatural connotations and when used in a political book conflates the two meanings. Let's give Evil to the fundies...

I heard an interesting "proof" on god today: Theist: "Of course god exists, why do you think there is all this evil in the world?" SS: "Huh? I'd think that evil and unfairness DEMONSTRATES the lack of a GOOD god" Theist: "No no no. It's like darkness. Darkness is the absense of light. Or...

OK, aside from the eye-catching headline I'm not sure I *actually* believe in the simplistic theosophical notions of opposing moral polarities, to wit: good and evil. Nevertheless, I'm interested in whether posters to this board consider Christianity to be a positive, peaceful influence on the...

I just gotta share something funny that just happened. Maybe 90 minutes ago I was in an accident. No big deal, I got hit (t-boned at 5 mph) in a bad alley. After making sure she was ok, we did the exhange-info thing, and this conversation took place: her: You know, it must be karma... I had it...

You saw it here first:

Emphasis added: article

Actually, I don't really have anything, so feel free to chime in. I was just sort of shocked no-one else had started this thread yet.

It worked, folks!!! The little boy is cured. One part of that report struck me as very significant. I've noticed this before. How come the preferred solution of the alleged "pro-lifers" always seems to end up with fewer live healthy children than evil medicine's suggestion? I'm thinking of...

That's not exactly what I'm discussing, but catchy title = more responses (generally). Here is why atheism cannot be the dominant philosophy. - Other than the fact it's been tried several times, and failed each time. The Soviet Union, China, Cuba, North Korea are all atheist states. Each is...

I have for over thirty years been working with the unexpectedly fascinating as well as often puzzling aspects of a very odd duck kind of Puzzle, which -- and please correct me if I am wrong, I believe turns out to be representable using a Lindenmayer approach...

Whenever the subject of evil in the world and the infallible goodness of God come up, Christians stand their ground by resorting invariably to a small group of nebulous defenses: God's will cannot be known, evil people—not God—are the cause of the maladies in the world, and God maintains the...

There's been 'outrage' (isn't everyone outraged these days?) lately on the right-wing in the USA about whether USA athletes will get to wave the flag at the Olympics. USA flag waving is being officially discouraged. I was kind of buying into the outrage, then it hit me. International sports is...
