Atheism

[SparrowHawk]

Not believing in something that has no proof of existence does indeed make one smarter than one who does. It's a function of higher reasoning and evaluation. You may be uncomfortable with that indisputable reality, but that will not alter the situation. Sorry if your feelings are hurt, but you cannot develop proof of otherwise.

If it's all the same to you, I'll continue to cling to my Guns and Religion. I'll take my Knuckle dragging, Cross wearing ass right into the voting booth and vote for anything that damages Atheism.How would that be?

See here is the deal, if I'm wrong I'm Dead and buried and soon earth and worm shall stake their claim.

However, If I'm right, I get to go to Heaven and you get to go someplace VERY warm. Like PHX only hotter. 😀 😀

I don't know. Expected?

Unless you get to the gates and find Satan, Ganesh, Luhr, protestant god, catholic god, etc in charge. then you are just as screwed as I would theoretically be. All gods are intolerant of competition, and you'd have about a 1 in 10,000 chance of having picked the right one. Good luck there...

You quoted an op-ed piece from a hugely biased and completely unscientific publication. Why would I feel silly?

I'm well aware of "climategate," as it were (good job not answering the question about what it does to god when its representatives commit far greater abuses by the way...) But the fact is, that was one study among several that all came to more or less the same conclusion. And none of you have brought any valid claim that counters the data being listed there. If you would, perhaps you can locate information that actually supports the claim that Global Warming somehow isn't happening. That would be a real argument, as opposed to the usual smoke & mirrors stuff we're seeing...

Smart girl...

An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and
he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker
if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."

The little girl, who had just started to read her book,
replied to the total stranger, "What would you want to talk about"?

" Oh, I don't know," said the atheist. "How about why there is
no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death"? as he smiled
smugly.

"OK," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me
ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same
stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns
out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that
is"?

The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl's
intelligence, thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."

To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified
to discuss why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after
death, when you don't know crap"?

And then she went back to reading her book.

Jesus was an astronaut...........

The earth is approx 4.5 billion years old. The carpenter turned god was only 2,000 years ago. The math is a bit off for him to be involved in the creation of our galaxy.

I thought that was who it was about in the first place? OK, granted it's currently about commercialism but the idea was about Christ wasn't it?

Jesus did not create the universe, God thy father did.

This just shows the fundamental misunderstanding most atheists have. Jesus Christ is the second Person of the Godhead, sent by the Father as Jesus Christ to be God revealed in the flesh for our salvation. Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, fully God and fully human, two natures in one Person.

You may do well to read more than just the post you are responding too.

In a nut shell, Sparrow implied that god may have spilled some DNA. I responded that an omniscient, omnipotent being would not spill. He then said that god may have done it intentionally to mess with us and test our faith. Dell responded with the picture of Jesus and inferred that he was an astronaut. I took that to mean that Jess was some how involved in the DNA/meteor thing. To which I replied that Jesus was not around at the time earth and our galaxy came into existence.

Now where in this entire thread did I or anyone else (except for may be Dell depending on how you interpret his picture/statement) imply that Jesus created the galaxy. Next time try and keep up. Atheist have a pretty good understanding of your faith. Far more than most believers it would seem, which is why we do not believe in it.

Jesus is the manifestation of God in the flesh Tree, and was around when the pin was pulled to start the big bang.

Jesus is God – Prophecies


Divine Messiah predicted in the Old Testament
Isaiah 7 “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.”1

“Immanuel” literally means: “God with us.” See also Matthew 1:23; Jesus was “God with us.”


This Messiah would be born a human son, but have a higher nature
Isaiah 9:6: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”

This was a radical statement coming from a monotheistic Jewish prophet -- especially calling a human being “Mighty God”; but one that God fulfilled centuries later in Christ.


A couple hundred years later, but still more than half a millennium before Jesus walked the earth, more was predicted about the Messiah’s divine nature
Daniel 7:13-14: “There before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven . . . He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.”

“Son of Man” was the primary title Jesus used for Himself -- and this passage shows that this was a clear and strong claim of deity. And in Mark, the earliest of the four Gospels, He also included the unmistakable phrase, “coming on the clouds of heaven” and applied it to Himself (Mark 14:62). His listeners got the point, refused to believe it, and added it to their reasons to try to kill Him

You and 7 Day can argue about it till your hearts content. Let me know when you decide what happened and how you want to interpret the findings.
