i hope you learn at least that last part.


That's why I'm an agnostic. :p

you nor anyone has to prove something does NOT exist. that is logically faulty.

all it takes is one instance to prove something does exist, and that instance is nowhere to be found for jahweh

I discovered I like cherry pepsi.

That when you give even the smallest amount of power to certain people, they become complete and utter pricks.

Always knew it, but having experienced it today I was surprised at just how true the cliche could be.

Cut them in half, fill with goat cheese and put a pecan on it. You won't be sorry.

I also discovered that the Stallone film Cobra is actually far shitter than I remembered.

Actually, I've learnt that statements like that are a lot of gibberish a long time ago, not today.

I discovered that the English essay I have to write on Tuesday won't be as difficult as first thought.

ok.

if people want to believe in tooth fairies and they cause no harm to others for that, why can't they?

is atheism going to stop people from killing, raping, etc. etc. ?

i dont think so.

Cantankerous 05.15.2008 07:40 AM

not today specifically
recently i have realised that i've got some pretty serious issues. i'll leave it at that.

mmmm... sounds good, thanks.

what i do similar: i stuff medjool dates with pecans-- this is superior in taste and quality to pecan pie. all the flavors in the date surpass the corn syrup sludge of pecan pie, and it's fresh and good and just plain awesome.

People don't become atheists because they think that it's going to stop killings etc, so no, it won't stop that. Duh!

it possibly could

in the baghavad-gita, arjuna is going to war against his cousins, so he starts getting cold feet. then krishna say to him that as a warrior & king it's his job to kill people, so he should do it, and not worry about it because there's no way to kill the immortal soul anyway.

so yes, the belief in the afterlife and some protective deity opens up the door to all manner of irresponsible and deluded behavior.

we're here, we're now, there's no other place, let's stop pretending we can shit all over and then go to heaven.

well, some of them think religions should be abolished because of that.

if it's point taken neither theism or atheism change a thing, why is it relevant, porky?

I avoided posting something similar to that 'cause it generally turns a thread that was started jovially into the sort of diatribe that I haven't got too much time for on the internet and makes little difference to my life in general.
