Another pointless religious/atheist thread.

For her to act like that there must be something more wrong with her. She would have been a crazed person with or without religion. Besides christianity doesn't teach people to act this way so it's not religion that caused this, IMO.

True, she may have been unstable without religion, but religion seems to really attract these kinds of people, and provides an accepting platform on which they can justify their insanity . I mean, when is the last time we've seen one of these nuts on the side of science? What would that even look like? "They didn't even FOLLOW THE STANDARD MODEL OF QUANTUM PHYSICS!!! They were all String Theorists, STRINGS THEORISTS!!! Why didn't you tell me? YOU LET THIS HAPPEN!!! Everyone not of the Standard Model, GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" I can't even imagine it...

lol they call their sinners aristotelians

Awesome. So to summarize, the religious family tried to impress their beliefs on others forcefully, while the new-age mom looked out for their health and better interests. As expected.

And this was after the christian crazy mom tore up the check given to her on camera, denouncing it as dark-sided money Also to be expected...

Well Tyler just look around and you will see plenty of people who side with science. I'm one of them, I'm always trying to learn more about science. Science is very beneficial to humans, which I'm sure you know.

Best line --

“Do you think I give a damn about a bee sting when I’ve got to plan a year on a wooden boat with 4,000 species of termites on board?”

Hey look at this. I just found it and it kinda shows a little of what I think too (just a little).

Ah isn't that article just an Atheist mocking what Christians think of them? Seemed like it was making fun of Charles Lumia for being ignorant?

so im not a beliver or anything but i heard about the ancient sumerian text ..from you guess it aceint aleins but any way the story of a flood ... makes me wonder why the story is so old and why it has stuck with us for so long....Somtimes with storys like that u got to read between the lines like maybe not a flood but a plage or virues or somthing ...The idea of a ark reminds me of like A Seed Bank ...Id feel safer knowing we had honey Bee DNA and others plus food plants stored away if somthing we to lower are numbers ...storys like that make me wonder to about if we did have a Ice Age 10,000 years ago did all the amazing eco seystems mange to restart that fast yeah know or the cambrian explosion i belive in evloution dont get me wrong hear but i think it can somtimes occur very fast the very fabric of life is a very addapted thing.. All cells come from other cellls ..Can you imagine that maybe one cell hear on earth was the beging of all this dont you just want to start like sending bactria from earth and spread it all over are solar seystem in hope that it one dad terfoms or learns to live on that planet ..if is not there already ...you ever wonder if maybe life sent its self to this planet ...Sorry guys just a brain storm of utter nothingness

i dont think it would be worth it for us to send life to other planets, unless we were that life. we would have to find a suitable planet for life first, which we have been trying to do for years. then we would have to build a ship that can travel to it, which would be one of the greatest engineering feats ever lol. just the trajectory alone would have to be so precise to hit that planet. also you would have to have a system on the ship that keeps the bacteria alive for the years in space. you need to carry fuel in order to keep the ship warm for the bacteria, since space is VERY cold. then once the planet gets there, it needs to land the bacteria safely. hopefully near water or whatever conditions the bacteria thrive it. so you see, it would be very difficult.
but if the time came where the earth was going to end, and we couldnt build a ship big enough for humans to survive on, maybe we would do that to try to continue life in the universe.

Hey oly when was the last time you killed someone in the name of god, ha. Because apparently that's what we do.

Don't appeal to fairness when your very sentiment is grounded in partiality.

I didn't say atheist kill in the name of atheism.

So atheism is a lack of belief in a god or diety. Religious people claim there is a god, therefore atheists believe we have to prove it to them. Atheists do a good on not stating what they do follow to control their morals. If we found that out then we would be able to point out everyone's flaws. But they did not state their beliefs so we can't point out any if their flaws. Just to clarify us religious people can point out the flaws of science or society. Which is what I assume you atheists believe and follow.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

You can't assume we follow anything, science or anything like that. I believe there is no God, end of story. I live life how I want, do what I want, and no "God" has any control over that.

yes, but you dont have to PROVE it all to us really. i would accept reasonable evidence that showed something to do with your beliefs. im trying to think of what an example would be like but i cant right now. i hope you understand what im sayin.
but what i find strange is that people believe it even when they know there is no evidence. i just cant understand that haha

Atheists do a good on not stating what they do follow to control their morals.

im not sure exactly what your saying, but it seems you are saying you dont know what controls our(atheist) morals.
it depends on the society we live in. we also are born with certain morals like dont kill another human for example. this of course can be over ridden by our lives. sometimes things in our lives happen that allow us to justify those actions in our minds.
i believe that religion is a big justifier in the world. people can rely on it to allow themselves to commit negative acts. i also believe that religion does more of this negative than the positive that it does.

If we found that out then we would be able to point out everyone's flaws.

yes of course, but that would have nothing to do with atheism. it would be more about biological factors and life events

But they did not state their beliefs so we can't point out any if their flaws.

beliefs about what? god? i have zero beliefs about god. when i say i dont think he exists, its another way of saying i dont believe you when you say god does exist. i am unconvinced by your argument, to put it simply.
i do however have beliefs about other subjects, but thats for another thread i guess

Just to clarify us religious people can point out the flaws of science or society.

just to clarify, science welcomes this pointing out of flaws. that is what science does to itself, actually. if you can prove a scientific theory wrong, by all means id like to see it.
i can point out flaws in society also. some have nothing to do with religion, but others do. pointing out the ones that dont, probably doesnt help to back up your claims.

Which is what I assume you atheists believe and follow.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

you are correct when you say religious people can point out the flaws of science or society. anybody can do that, religious or not

exactly. someone can be an atheist and be against science. although their reasoning may be flawed because they wouldnt use science to back it up. like if a guy was born on an island with just a few people that didnt believe in god, and also didnt have science. thats just an example to show that atheism and science are disconnected, however atheists also tend to use science to refute claims of a deity.

Very true, she does not represent all Christians. What she does represent is the danger of following a religion without applying critical thought. She is demonstrating intolerance, prejudice, and outright discrimination. These traits are all too typical of religious people, particularly Christians. They may not manifest as intensely as this woman, but finding a Christian who loves his enemies and repays evil with kindness is rare, despite that being a direct teaching of Jesus.

Are you pointing out that they're many false Christians and that those who follow his teachings are few, and are you addmiting the lagitimacy of the teachings of Jesus- Live your life according to Jesus, It is Gods wish. If God were not real you would not be here. You can not disprove God and wasting the life he has given you trying to denounce his greatness is a waste of the gift you have been given.
