Goonies never say die.
Fact: Today there are more atheists and less Christians in America than there were yesterday. The same will be true tomorrow. And the day after that.

How do I know this to be true? Simple demographic realities. Christians are much more common among the older (read: dying off) generations, while atheists are much more common among the younger generations.
That "fact" is BS. I may agree that there are more people every day against the idea of organized religion, churches, etc... but there are plenty more believers in God than there are atheists.
Your pretty much a troll, just one who believes the crap he spews  Cheesy

That's why there is more Homeland Security day by day... to protect the Christians from terrorists.
Fewer and fewer Christians, more guns, more paranoia, more fear, more desperate clinging to what little power they have left. And every citizen has a videocamera in their pocketphone.

This is going to be good.

The peace of an atheist may last for a day, but the peace of a saved theist will last forever.
This will prove especially ironic after science conquers death.

Of course, we will never know it for sure... at least not until somebody dies.

EDIT: There was a time when I thought that it was unfair of God to base His decision to allow everyone to die, on the sin of only two people (Adam and Eve - they didn't believe God). But now I see (by some of the adamant unbelievers in this forum) that we would have been down the tubes anyway.

You should check out the book of Enoch (it's here, not in the bible). It talks about why humans got so out of control, that God sent a flood to wash most away.

I was hit by a truck on my bike once...
Massive head trauma... that explains a lot.

He must be retarded or autistic because his worldview is so narrow, he can't imagine "other realities" and gets angry if someone claims he is wrong.

If you were carrying a truck on YOUR bike, I can't understand why it wouldn't have slapped you in the face at least twice.

I have shown how cause and effect, universe complexity, and entropy combine to prove God exists.
You have shown us evidence that god exists to the standards of superstitious rigor, certainly. I tend to limit my interest in such matters to the standards of scientific rigor, however.

Protip for theists: If you ever find yourself wanting to say something along the lines of "Except for one little detail" to a scientist, don't. You're only going to embarrass yourself.

You are funny. I am happy for the scientists who are using their illusion of free will to defy God. God wants them to use their free will. Since they use it to deny Him, their destruction that He brings on them will be complete. The start of their destruction is death.

However, praise be to God Who has allowed many scientists to revere God.

My embarrassment... LOL!    Cheesy

Except that you don't know that. Just because you may have not heard it yet, doesn't mean that some scientist hasn't already said it in the hearing of others, some of whom might have even read your statement.
Oh but I do know. I know because, just as a doctor who forsakes "do no harm" forsakes the right to call himself a doctor, the moment a scientist starts dealing in superstition, he forfeits the right to call himself a scientist, and becomes an impostor of the foulest sort.

This is why "Christian Scientists" (lol) have such an abysmal reputation among real scientists.

"There is no other answer except" is a phrase inappropriate even for hard mathematics, when you get right down to the nitty-gritty quantum mechanics of it.

Except for one little detail. In a few, short explanations in this thread and the Why do Atheists hate Religion ? thread, I have shown how cause and effect, universe complexity, and entropy combine to prove God exists. And I have done it using standard, simple-to-understand science. Anybody can check it out. If you think it is faulty, why don't you refute it rather than simply express that it is refuted?

There is nothing different about scientists wanting to remain in the dark ages. Many other people have done so over the years. Scientists love to maintain their religion just like anybody else.

Those of us who are looking past the lies of scientists, and finding the truth about the science that the scientists proclaim, see the reality of God throughout life.

When God has finally lost His patience with sexually immoral people, He will change things. And we may not have to wait very long. The change back to the morals of religion is following right behind the scourge of modern immorality.

Pleasure can come from doing what's right and moral too. It's not either/or.  
You'll forgive me if I prefer not to take morality lessons from a cult which was was recently burning people alive, and still kills homosexuals today.

Do you fear?
Yes, all sane men know fear. I fear suffering, for as a child I suffered more than my fair share, and wish to suffer as little as possible for the remainder of my life, however long that may be.

I'm sorry.

Christians can see suffering as a way to build us up,
Yes, pain purifies the soul, pleasure taints the soul, I've heard all the dogma before. Like I said, I've read your books and I find the dogma to be much more harmful and it is helpful.

Beliathon will regret

we all know when
I was hit by a truck on my bike once, woke up in the hospital, and was informed that I was lucky to be alive and in one piece. My mind never once turned to any deities or other imaginary friends that day. If it had, it probably would've been one of the cool ones like Thor or Zeus. Definitely not that blubbering pussydick Jesus Christ, that guy was such a whiny bitch.

I mean seriously, whose ass did Jesus ever kick? Okay, to be fair I suppose there was that one time when he whipped the bankers in the temple, but my point stands - Thor would totally whoop Jesus Christ's ass.

Does it comfort you to imagine that I would be so weak-minded as to suddenly betray two decades of rationality in exchange for a few fleeting moments indulgence in superstitious fantasy? You can't be serious. Fear of death is for those fortunate enough to have never known true suffering.

Honestly I regard death with a sort of neutral curiosity. It's going to happen sooner or later, why fret about it?

Yes, pain purifies the soul, pleasure taints the soul, I've heard it all before. Like I said, I've read your books and I find the dogma uncompelling, and worse still I find it to be much more harmful than helpful. Well, I'll let you boys get back to your flagellation, don't wanna leave that soul impure for your Lord do you?



Man this shit never gets old. Thanks for being so easy to mock, theists. Frankly this whole thread has left me feeling like a battleship shooting down seagulls.

Christians can see suffering as a way to build us up, get us ready for a bigger challenge, because we believe in the long run. Suffering refines us and makes us stronger.

Isaiah 48:10 Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.

And in the long run is Heaven and peace.

Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows

"If God’s gifts are our blessings, and the devil’s assaults are also our blessings, what remains to harm or depress us? If good is good and evil is equally good to the enlightened, then a realm of life is entered where we rejoice always, in everything give thanks, and in all things are more than conquerors.” - Norman Grubb

I know you will see this as "insane" since you said all sane people fear. I know you believe religious people need their religion to keep them calm because they're scared and can't handle the real world.

However, I don't believe this because I'm afraid and need comfort. I see this as truth and it gives me comfort.
