Yea like those Buddhists and that time they... uh... oh.

Also: I feel like this thread quickly turned into putting Cerce on trial, I will admit I did it myself.

So I would like to encourage people to ask questions to not-Cerce. I am an atheist myself and have a catholic background, so if you have any questions regarding either of those two, ask away.

cough, proof?
none of that is proof of god, the only logical explanations you have provided you scoffed at.
chance and luck.
i too had asthma for a while and it went away, possible bank errors, i've had lost 100 bucks before and forgot about it til i came back a month later. (and yes, that's what it was, i talked to the bank manager.)

God did not create humans, humans created god. The weak masses need an omnipotent deity to "guide them" "love them" whether they have a hole in their life only religion can fill, or need an answer to what happens after you're dead, RIGHT NOW, instead of waiting to find out.
you want a real religon? you want to be spiritual and close to god? become a buddhist.

except i can see my parents, and i know they are there. [inb4 "hurr durr god isn't real" (and i wouldn't obey the rules anyways)]
it's people who refuse to listen to reason that cause the creation of the bottom dweller athiests, they spend all day reading bible bs just to create an arguement and possibly shut you people up. (inb4 "you People")

you can not provide proof for god,nor convince any of us, he'll need to do that himself.

ahh.... to live care free, you really should try this.

i really shouldn't be arguing like this, i'm a reasonable man, but bible thumpers piss me off SO much.

boruma i seriously can't tell if you're religious or not :/ you make a statement that makes you look like a religious person then you begin talking about religion like a military atheist :/

YUNO

make sense!

Listen; I'm not trying to thump anyone with 'BE ZE CHRISTIAN OR BE ZE DEAD'. I'm just merely stating that this is what I firmly believe in. Just as firmly as you guys believe in waht you believe. Us fighting and yelling at each other is not going to change that. But do know that if you guys have any Christian related questions, or want to know my view, or simply want me to pray for you, just let me know.

i'm nihilistic or buddhist.
or more specifcally metaphysical nihilist.
in simpler terms, i've watched inception, fight club, and the matrix waaaayyy too many times, and i can't beleive anything is reality.
dream, coma, or someones imagination, all i can do is live care free until i die, then i'll find out.
i'm not religous at all, the closest i get is to buddhism, but that's a way of life, a philosophy, not a religion.
my previous statement was to all christians who tell athiests that they are going to hell. it was mostly to shut them up about athiests going to hell,
and i was trying to be wise and enlightening while posting it, but most people don't get that part, they just get the bullet points about the post they are reading not believing in what they believe in.
"god will forgive those who cannot believe in him" but i also said "IF" a LOT in my post.

i shouldn't say bad things about religion, but i do, i truly think that it's all bullocks, and anyone who believes in it is a child.
but i shouldn't say those things, it's the bible thumpers that do it to me.

Ah, yes. Fight Club will do that to you after about the third or fourth time through.

I am far more relieved than angry.
