Agreed. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.
Know what I hate about the "Post Quick Reply" button? I'm finding that these are rarely quick replies.
I was almost mad that I wasted a perfectly good 1/8th of mushrooms on a weed forum "discussing" religion but this has actually been fun. Don't think I could do it for too long though. Ultimately, people who really believe in religion are going to believe what they want to believe. Hmm, how did I get here in the first place? On this thread that is
The fun thing now is for mainstream modern religion to adapt and mingle with science. This is how we get things like the watchmaker fallacy and the puddle fallacy. I attended a colloquies by Alvin Plantinga. He is some big shot at Notre Dame. I truly walked in with an open mind. Maybe THIS will be the argument that can make me believe there is a god. He was trying to argue that we can't trust our cognitive faculties if there was no god. How he got to that conclusion is truly an act of faith, but lets just say I left disappointed, almost pissed off that THIS was the best that modern religion has to offer. Without having any prior knowledge of this fellow's argument, by the time he finished I felt I could debunk his theory that I'm sure he worked very, very hard on. This kind of talk really is an act of faith. Simple as that. There is no science to it and when one tries they fall flat on their face. Ultimately, science could explain 99.99% of everything in the universe, making god essentially redundant and unnecessary, yet those who believe will cling to that .01% and say "THERE! You can't explain THAT! That is proof that god exists!"

Ha, screw religion, lets talk football! My blood is red as well but it tends to bleed over in Merseyside As much as I would love to argue my case for Liverpool, I wouldn't have much of an argument today. No one can deny that Wenger is a genius and that Arsenal play some of the most attractive football in the world. Well, perhaps SAF could deny that. Prick.
Let God fight your battles?! That is truly shocking. I just have such a hard time understanding how people could turn to a god to solve their problems. How would shit ever get done if everyone thought like this?
There's that quick reply button again. Damn. I was sure this was gonna be a quick one yet there goes another 40 minutes...
