A question for atheists.

MMMMMmmmmmmmmm! Tasteful genitals! MMMMMMmmmmmmm!

Nonononono! You're thinking of Tasty Genitals!! You know, that flavored lubricant that comes in the fruit-colored tubes?

Just trying to make his head explode.

ps. Are the translations any good?

Yeah, they're excellent. So, where'd you learn?

Re: Re: Re: Re: A question for atheists.

No, Lief, they haven't come up with any proof, full stop.

How would you know? There might have been proof given at several times, but the proof might have been poorly documented and lost to history.

Which would be proof that it isn't divinely protected.

I only speak it a little bit. So I use babelfish for text.

So, god supplies proof of his existence, but then doesn't take steps to protect it for all to see? Guess god isn't so thoughtful after all...
Leif! I hear a mouse Roar!

wouldn't it be if it were the word of God?
He came down and sacrificed his son only to have the facts misinterpreted?

early this morning 1 in C posted another one of his Hellfire and brimstone rants in the Computer Forum. I reported it to a moderator, since 1 in C's only justification for the post was that it had a link in it. The moderator has moved it to a vary appropriate place for 1 in C's threads

*shrugs* You're the one who made the blanket claim that there hasn't been any proof in two millenia. Which, in my opinion, is begging the question.

If there is a God, why should he bother to provide absolute, irrefutable proof for his existence? Maybe he doesn't care, or maybe (as Bill Hicks put it) " ... God - might be - ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ with our heads? I have trouble sleeping with that knowledge. Some prankster God running around: 'Hu hu ho. We will see who believes in me now, ha ha.'"

So, let me get this straight: There's this all-powerful god who doesn't give a fig about us, and won't show us that she exists, but she expects us to worship her?
That's insanity.
I don't know what you mean by "god is in our heads", though, unless you're referring to scientific phenomena such as proprioception.

That's ineffable...and pretty effed up, too.

Why should we believe in him if he can't be bothered to provide evidence for his existence?
If I wanted people to worship me and follow my lead I'd certainly make my presence known.
Maybe God doesn't want to be worshipped?
Perhaps he’s seen what happens when you have followers, and decided we’d all be better off without him.

Hi 1inC,

Please don't ignore me.

I have a couple of serious questions for you:

1) have you ever received psychiatric care?

2) have your family or friends every recommended that you receive psychiatric care?

I'm asking because the lack of sleep with the religious fervour and difficulty thinking straight has me concerned. I wonder if you might be ill or if anyone around you might have raised the possibility.

I look forward to your response.

Best,
TS

*shrugs* I doubt it, but I can't prove that it is not the case.

That's insanity.

Only if it isn't true.

Oh I yam so **** clever!

Man, did I ever check in late with the genitals joke. I need to start living here, like 1inC.

There goes the neighborhood.

I'm not saying we should. I'm just saying that just because we haven't seen proof of his existance, doesn't mean that nobody has.

If I wanted people to worship me and follow my lead I'd certainly make my presence known.

Yes, but then you're not God, so who knows?

Maybe God doesn't want to be worshipped?

Not impossible.

You can have Interesting Ian's old refrigerator cardboard box, next to the burning trash barrel, if you like. I'm afraid Radrook's old box has a nest of incubi living in it at the moment.

*shrugs* I doubt it, but I can't prove that it is not the case.

But you do accept that an infinitely powerful being is infinitely improbable?

Only if it isn't true.

I would contest that it's the possibility of truth that makes it insane. She won't show us she's there, doesn't give a fig about us, but wants us to worship her? Don't you detect a teensy inconsistency there?
