Simple question...What do YOU believe?

I may be new here. But, I have already determined from reading your posts that you are incapable of having a rational discussion. So, attempting to explain something to you would be a waste of my time.

Apparently you haven’t determined this or you would have keep your stupid mouth shut.
 
About once a month someone new tries to debate Franko by being polite and carefully explaining their ideas or beliefs.

Translation:

About twice a week some stupid, naïve, brainwashed A-theist stumbles in here and tries to TELL Franko (and everyone else) how their RELGION (A-Theism) is the “One true Faith” and is better and more true than ALL of the other Religions.

Of course none of these A-theists EVER has any evidence or logical reason for believing that their religion is superior. That just CLAIM it.

It always ends the same.

Yeah, An A-Theist insisting that the gods of all the other religions are FALSE (based on wishful thinking) while the A-Theists god (“free willy”) is to be believed based on no evidence.

Of course a lot of a-Theists want me to prove that there god doesn’t exist. That’s when I say:

Atoms obey TLOP.
You are made of Atoms.
YOU OBEY TLOP!

Franko drags out the same tired, repetitive, and illogical statements and ignores anything anyone else posts.

You are the one ignoring logic you brainwashed religious moron!

Then he demands proof of "free-willy".

yeah, if you are claiming that your god exist (“free willy”), the burden of proof falls on YOU as the claimant to provide evidence for the belief. Maybe you should have taken the time to learn how Skepticism actually works before you started posting on a SKEPTICS web site?

What makes you think that Skeptics are not allowed to be Skeptical of Atheism? I guess it’s a lot easier to be a pretend Skeptic by only questioning other people’s Religions?

I tried to talk to him, but I got lost in his sea of babbling so I swam to safety and put him on ignore. It's nice to see someone figuring out what I did without having to be blugeoned with silliness like I was.

I’m happy that you and your Dogma are such good friends you credulous Religious fanatic.

You're quite funny. Really you are. Is your penis really that small?

Why are you so interested in my penis size Gay-boy?

I don't have anything against gays and all. But, you are wasting your time flirting with me. I'm a married man.

You mis-understood, CW. Franko never said his willy was small. He said that he has no willy at all. In fact, he says it a lot.... curious thing for a male to be proud of, but what can I say?

Thanks to Max for the original gag

I believe one's feelings should be cherished, but leave the decision making to the brain. People who do otherwise tend to be disappointed or susceptible to charlatans.

You touch upon an interesting point here. The belief in the paranormal is more of an emotional response than a logical one and on other threads posters have asked why there are more male skeptics than female skeptics. This has probably been brought up before, but is it possible that women seem to have a higher rate of belief in the paranormal because they are more likely to make decisions based on emotion?

Before Lisa, Girl 6, and the other skepchicks jump on me, I'm speaking of tendencies not absolutes, the are exceptions to every rule, including this one.

Oh! Ok! My bad.

Well NoFrank, if I was so inclined for some gay-loving, what good are you to me? Do you just want some rump-loving without giving anything in return?
 
All these A-Theists fascinated by what's in my pants ... :rolleyes:

I guess it's all they have left to talk about since they can't justify their absurd dogmatic religious claims.

LOL. Was it that obvious that I was already bored with Franko?

I see what you are saying. I am sorry I didnt make this more clear in my post. When I use the word heart, I am refering to your gut instinct about things. But also use your brain of course(nobody please get technical with me over how using ure brain and gut instinct are actually the same thing. You know what I mean, at least I think so.) You just have to find a balance when it comes down to these things. Because if one only uses his brain, you can tend to over think things, and end up worring over useless stuff. And for the last 6 months I have stopped thinking and thinking and using my brain about things and started listening more to my heart(gut instinct) and my life has become a lot more easy. This doesn't mean problems dont come up now because I ignore them or something, so that's why my life is more easy. It means I am not creating the problems I was over thinking and worring so much. Like with my g/f. I have found the best damn relationship I have ever seen in my life(this is not just my opinion and my partners opinion, many others have said the same.) But when I had first met her, my heart and gut told me not to let rumors and what people say(that dont know her) effect me. Because she had a bad reputation. And I didnt listen to those rumors and I got something truely great. This gurl changed her life around for me and to make me and her last. She stopped all of the bad things she did, drinking, smoking, drugs in general. She stopped stealing. She stopped flirting with guys, period(you would be amazed how she was when she was going out with this other guy, and from what people that know her have told me, she was always like that.) The list goes on. But people that have known her even tell me that she has COMPLETELY done a 180 for the better. Not to mention how honest and open our relationship is. It's not some ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ where people "say" they are honest and open and tell each other everything. We do. If you beleive me on that or not, oh well, either way. If you know more you would agree. I'll just assume you will take my word on it because I dont want to write that damn long of a post. But anyway, the point is, I followed my heart(gut instinct) and found something truely great.
Sorry again that I didn't make things as clear. I meant you should follow your heart(gut instinct) but also use your head, along with common sense. I hope you get my points. Well I have to go. cya

Up jump da funk, welcome back. Too bad we didn't start a clock for you - you'da won a prize.
Hey, thanks. I think I owe Q-Source some money though. Looks like I finally did lose the bet....

Regardless, what do I believe?

I believe that I and the universe around me is real. I believe that anything that is real is ultimately knowable and that anything that is truely unknowable is not real. I believe that it behaves in a certain manner that doesn't change over time. I believe that people are basically good when and because they choose to be. I believe that I am still growing as a person and that the above beliefs will probably change as a part of that growth.
 
(sigh)

Yeah, that's been pointed out before. It's really not worth the trouble. You may as well try to teach someone to program who can't figure out why the computer needs to be plugged into anything.

But I'm sure Franko will start pasting in his nonsense again with some lovely name-mangling and personal insults just to keep it fresh for himself.

I have to disagree with your use of the word "heart" to describe instinct. Usually when "heart" is involved in your decisions, it means that emotions are also involved. While it is nearly impossible to exclude emotions from one's life decisions, a person should recognize when he or she is doing so.



Emotions form an integral part of everyday decisions. What is wrong with that?

My heart tells me I should believe in an afterlife because it would be nice to not fear death.

The only way to be sure that nothing unpleasant happens after death is to reject life after death. BTW almost certainly the reason why you believe it is more rational not to believe in "life after death" is because you have been "brainwashed" into relatively unthinking acceptance of the modern common western metaphysic ie materialism.
