Re: Straight to the business at hand

CDJ, you claim to be looking for intelligent discussion yet avoid every single question or point sent your way. When you dodge everyone else's point and continue to rattle on with yours claiming a lack of "intelligent discussion" (even though yours involves no original thought) it is actually you who is insulting other posters.

But you will play the victim claiming you are being attacked for your beliefs. My friend, it is not your beliefs which you're being given a hard time about, but rather your condescending attitude and reluctance to respond to the very discourse you claim to be seeking.

Re: Straight to the business at hand

we've gone over this subject a hundred times... the intelligent conversation exists in every thread. what is it? intelligent "proof" from each side disproving the other. just give it up already, because nobody is going to just throw away their beliefs based off of some quack on a messageboard. e.g., you won't throw away your beliefs because I post some "proof" that god doesn't exist. you'll always know you're right. the same as I won't throw away your beliefs because you "prove" that he does. because I'll always know that he doesnt, because it's what I believe.

Re: Straight to the business at hand

Seems like you have forgetten that it was some of you that said show me what you have and so I am showing you
Pretty simple thing going on here
You guys are making it into something it is not.
If you don't want to read it then dont.
Somehow you guys have the impression I am trying to change the world. I guarantee you did not get that from me as I have never said anythyning like that.
You are bringing preconceived ideas about what I am trying to do.
Let me say it again. I am simply looking for good intelligent conversation and this is the subject at hand.
If I were trying to change you and convert you then I would be posting things like

Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do?
Acts 2:38 And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

That is trying to convert people. I have not done anything of the sort.

Re: Straight to the business at hand

CDJ, you asked me why I "insulted" you. I guess you're providing the answer yourself: starting up a multitude of threads in which you copy paste shitloads of text (which I value the same like ruby does) ticks me off. And I'm sure I'm not the only one getting blue balls from this...

Re: Straight to the business at hand

Thanks for the rehash of intelligent design

Creationism by another name doesn't make it a more viable or satisfactory explanation, merely a new and improved political ploy.

sorry, I've looked into this before and it just isn't much real proof. Half of it's argument is based on ridiculing the possibility of a big bang that came from nothing. Kinda like the belief in god..just cause you can't understand it, doesn't make it untrue.

and all of that still doesn't prove that god exists...at the end of the day all its saying is that you can't explain where the universe came from.

Re: Straight to the business at hand

Look for it, and it can't be seen.
Listen for it, and it can't be heard.
Grasp for it, and it can't be caught.
These three cannot be further described,
so we treat them as The One.

It's highest is not bright.
It's depths are not dark.
Unending, unnameable, it returns to nothingness.
Formless forms, and image less images,
subtle, beyond all understanding.

Approach it and you will not see a beginning;
follow it and there will be no end.
When we grasp the Tao of the ancient ones,
we can use it to direct our life today.
To know the ancient origin of Tao:
this is the beginning of wisdom.


i'm more of a fan of the eastern way of looking at religion, though i don't even pretend i know what the fuck it means. it sounds nicer to me

Re: Straight to the business at hand

why do you continue this?

Dear god,
Hope you got the letter,
And I pray you can make it better down here.
I dont mean a big reduction in the price of beer,
But all the people that you made in your image,
See them starving on their feet,
cause they dont get enough to eat

From god,
I cant believe in you.

Dear god,
Sorry to disturb you,
But I feel that I should be heard loud and clear.
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears,
And all the people that you made in your image,
See them fighting in the street,
cause they cant make opinions meet,
About god,
I cant believe in you.

Did you make disease, and the diamond blue?
Did you make mankind after we made you?
And the devil too!

Dear god,
Dont know if you noticed,
But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book.
Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look,
And all the people that you made in your image,
Still believing that junk is true.
Well I know it aint and so do you,
Dear god,
I cant believe in,
I dont believe in,

I wont believe in heaven and hell.
No saints, no sinners,
No devil as well.
No pearly gates, no thorny crown.
Youre always letting us humans down.
The wars you bring, the babes you drown.
Those lost at sea and never found,
And its the same the whole world round.
The hurt I see helps to compound,
That the father, son and holy ghost,
Is just somebodys unholy hoax,
And if youre up there youll perceive,
That my hearts here upon my sleeve.
If theres one thing I dont believe in...

Its you,
Dear god.

Re: Straight to the business at hand

he's bringing light into our dark, confused minds. its not arrogant at all, but a benevolent education brought on by someone who has done alot of 'research' into this, and is clearly far more capable at explaining this sort of thing than dullards like us.
