First topic message reminder :

You can't find a better starting topic then to debate the existing of God... or it being one of the worlds largest lies. Cultures on every single land space believe in some sort of higher power.


What do you think?

in reply to t@d's edited section, lol, we are intelligent life compared to anything we know. Do you consider a parasite to be intelligent? Just because we have impulses and such faults does not mean we are unintelligent, it just means that we are human

You are using us as the top of the scale.... To me, thats ignorant. We can barely leave our atmosphere less alone find anything thus far. We are not intelligent.

I think you are grading on a curve.

you could say that, we are definitely the most intelligent species in our solar system.... well some of us, and i certainly do not believe that we are the smartest beings in the universe, but this is beside the point considering the topic is over god so i will get back on topic before some people go off on an incoherent rant about absolutely nothing. All i am saying about god is that there are so many things that contradict him/her/it that i find it hard to believe. the many similarities with myths lead me to believe that logically the bible is fiction.

I disagree, there's NOTHING that contradicts the existence of a god. And even if there is, there's always a way to spin it to be "god's will". That's the tricky thing about god, that you'll never be able to prove the contrary of him because of the characteristics that religions have given him. How can I refute something when that something is everything: omnipotent, omnipresent, EVERYTHING.

And that's exactly why I don't believe in its existence.

first, sorry for quoting someone, but his post were far away from here :p

ghetto has some pretty good argument here. As long as you can think of something, it makes it existing. You could think of a 1 thousand arms dog without having any chances to encounter one anywhere. But still, when you thought of that 1 thousand armed dog, you made is existing through your minds. Therefore, you can't deny god's existance, neither you can affirm God is an actual living thing or anything somewhat beeing something in our reality more than an idea. I've written something that prooved, in my way of thinking, that god were a nonsense, because of it's existance's essence.
God is known to be flawlessness, to be everything, everywhere, to be in each living thing. It's a pretty known fact that all energies have its opposite in the universe. Universe balance, or whatever you call it. If god is everything (which is already far over our thinking skill and understanding), then tell me how could you think of it's opposite ? I mean, something that doesn't even exist on our mind, because it's nothing. And you can't call it nothing. It has no name. It's not even blank. Because blank is something. You can't make such things exist, even in your mind, because non existance is it's living essence. We're admitting that God has no opposite, no contrary force. There is another nonsense. Anything that exists, have an opposite. You can think of God, but that's not enough to make him a beeing. If he was existing, you should be able to think of its opposite.

Religion is the most controversial subject that will never be fully won in an argument. If you're Atheist, you will throw intelligent remark after intelligent remark at religious people and they will simply twist your words to coincide with the Bible or "God's Divine Plan" and whatnot. Neither side will ever win. You cannot prove or disprove an omnipotent being, just like you can't prove or disprove that there is an infinite amount of energy in the universe, or that ghosts roam the earth. It's all based on imagination, hypotheses, personal philosophies, and the dictation of your philosophies.

I guess since I'm Atheist, I must have no faith or imagination, and my personal philosophies must be wrong, because they don't coincide with God's morals. That's why I don't believe in a God, not because I can't, but because I don't like thinking my life is in the hands of some all-powerful, all-knowing, egomaniac who lets war, famine, disease, destruction, rape, murder, poverty, crime, and corruption plague our world.

"Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed. Results like these do not belong on the résumé of a Supreme Being. This is the kind of shit you'd expect from an office temp with a bad attitude. And just between you and me, in any decently-run universe, this guy would've been out on his all-powerful ass a long time ago. And by the way, I say "this guy", because I firmly believe, looking at these results, that if there is a God, it has to be a man. No woman could or would ever fuck things up like this." - George Carlin, R.I.P.

Please take no offense Ant, as I mean my comments to be in regards to your post... not you as a person.


That post has to be one of the most ridicules, insane, non-thought filled posts I can remember ever seeing. Ghetto did not have a good point and your reasons/thought on it makes even less sense. Someone claiming they do not believe there is a God has nothing to do with anything said. I'll use your example......a one thousand leg dog. You claim it exists because someone "thought" about a possibility that it could exist? That's not proof of anything nor even a coherent thought. And now what if I say that since you thought this dog into "existence" that I don't believe it is real.... so Im wrong? People that do not believe there is a god are not the same people who "invented" it. They are saying what they believe about something that was brought to them...... they are not coming up with a "god" in their mind and then saying he's not real.

This is what always seems to happen in this type of discussions. People who do not believe simply state their reasons, argue some points that they think are incorrect, and overall disagree with the whole "faith" thing.... because let's be really honest. Faith is the ONLY thing that divides someone that believes and someone who doesn't. It's that simple... except the believers always seem to come up with completely ignorant "proofs" or "ideas" to convert someone. I never understood using the bible as a fact, believing that faith in god means you are somehow more informed, or using strictly "faith" as your proof of anything.


To be completely honest..... I think there is more chance of a 1k leg dog then a "god".

Actually what Ant said makes some sense. If we're debating the existence of god, technically god does exist.

What I think Ant meant is that since people believe there's a god, and those beliefs have affected the real world, the phenomenon of god is real. This does not mean that god, as a being, exists; but it does mean that god is a real thing, that has influenced the physical world in many ways, and thus, it's existence is real.

I disagree about the 1 legged flying dog or whatever because unless that thought translates into reality, into the physical world, and the consequences are palpable like when talking about god, it does not exist.

Remember, the god phenomenon has raised and destroyed many civilizations, lives, temples, beliefs, ways of life... if it didn't exist, it couldn't affect the physical world. Since it does affect it, it does exist, just not as a supreme being.

What I'm saying is that Ant is correct, it's just not the point this discussion was trying to make.

Well. Just an example. Can you touch an idea ? Can you see it ? Smell it ? Is it physically existing ? No. But, when you have an idea, it exists. As a non physical thing. It's the same with my 1 thousand legged dog. It exists as an idea, not as a physical matter.

Still thinking my post was dumb ?

IMO, devil has its existence as an idea, because it isn't even hard to think of something that is filled only by pain and hatred. Its opposite should be something angelic, something filled with pleasure and forgiveness / love. Actually, if you think of something, you make it existing through yourself, as an idea.
Like I said, I believe that something need to have an opposite to be fully existing, even as an idea. It's a common matter in physic sciences, the universe is balanced. I'm not repeating it all over, just, if god is everything, then you can't think of an opposite, because thinking of nothing is (impossible, but let's assume it is possible) already making it something, it's already making it an idea.

I did a little research on some things I found interesting...

In historical documents I found a story about a man. He was born to a virgin. His birthday is believed to be or celebrated on December 25th. His birth was announced by a bright star. Tht day three kings visited him and brought him gifts. A ruler in the area heard about the son of god being born and had housands of kids killed... But he got away.

He also lacked his life being recorded from 12 to 30. At 30 he was baptized by a man who was later beheaded for his beliefs. He healed the blind, cast out demons, and raised a man from the dead named lazerus. He has a famous teaching on the mount. He was later crusified and three days layer rose from the dead an promised to return to save the earth. He also is recorded as having 12 diciples.

No, his name was not Jesus. His name was Horus and his story was recorded in the book of the dead 1300 years BC. 1300 years before Jesus was born.... Horus had the exact same life.

Horus, his father, and his mother are still to this day the first recorded trinity worshped.... By the Egyptians.

Seems kinda fishy to me.

There's also many other "gods" who hare very similar stories.

Maybe Horus is made up by the devil orrr was a test from god?

Either way like porny said, there is no really "proof" against god. Because every evidences can be spun around to support it.

Tad, you should watch the first part of the first Zeitgeist movie... it's basically talking about that.

Their explanation is that people are not actually worshipping Jesus... etc. but the Sun. Supposedly the whole life of Jesus and the other deities with the same story is in fact a metaphorical representation of the cycle the sun makes in a year (you'll have to watch is you want a better explanation). I think this is a sensible and rational theory, because if you think about it, the sun has provided so much for humanity that it makes sense for people to historically worship it (brings warmth, makes crops grow, protects from the dangers of night... etc.) It's just human nature to believe that the sun is a good thing, while night is "bad".

I was actually told about Zeitgeist. And was told to watch it. I heard a ton about similar stories and agree completely. Krishna is another. Less similarities then Horus, but still a ton

I actually read the book of the dead related to the Horus myth. I was prompted by the documentry "religilous". It's something everyone should watch. It got me looking up alot and really being able to look past thoughts and feelings and focus on facts.

By the way.. After researching what I have and seeing what I have read...

I am officially an athiest. Agnostics are too lazy and still entertain there may or may not be a god. There's no way in my mind one has or will exist.
