    Atheism is on the list of things that are destroying western society, which may be a good thing. But atheist are so ? annoying. just shut the ? up already , atheism does nothing it inspires nothing it creates nothing. it seeks to strip man of religion but has nothing comparable to replace it.

    LOL @ "let believers believe and express themselves" but not allowing non-believers to do the same.

    The difference is this belief in religion causes you to do things but atheism has no responsibilities. so you can shut the ? up, In some cases the religious cannot. we have to praise our ? or preform some service to him or the religion.

    I never told anyone to fall back on their criticism whether it was for or against

    I dont think the human race is advanced enough to be saying for a fact if omnipotent beings exist or not....we still rage war against one another over money and religion
    Sure they are yo.

    The only thing supporting the claim that "supernatural" beings exist is the claim that "supernatural" beings exist.

    If humans applied such circular reasoning to everything, they'd have to be agnostic about an infinite number of claims that others come up with.

    If ur not certain of a certain things theres nothing wrong with saying ur not certain..theres something wise in being agnostic instead of feigning proof of non existence
    So humans are to be agnostic when it comes to any one of the infinitely-many conceivable concepts that other humans can create?

    If I say "Godzilla exists and he rules the world from the shadows, controlling your every action and desire; and you can't prove he doesn't.", then is it unwise to rule out such a claim?

    If anything, it's wise to rule out fantastical claims lacking in any form of proof or provability.

    Horrible example... my actions prove that my actions are only being controlled by me
    So you're saying that because there is no proof that Godzilla is controlling your every action and desire, the claim that he is controlling you is false?

    My actions prove to me that my actions are being controlled by me
    Illogical argument

    This why I do not talk about religion most people are too immature to discuss such matters and too closed minded to ever agree to disagree.

So then they just start guessin and make their guesses popular amongst ppl who think like them. These are theories. A theory has never been proven as fact. So it's just their theory that ? doesnt exist. But spirituality is not cold, dispassionate, limited logic and guesses. It is so much more than that.

    I think alot of christians are afraid of athiest, they are afraid it's a possibility that there is alot of truth to what they are saying. It frightens them that the one thing they hold so tightly to and believe in so blindly when everything else is going wrong, could be just another set of lies and fear mongering as a control system. Religion takes your power away from you. It's hard for me to be in a church around ppl who are waiting for someone else to give them the things that ? already put in you, or relieve themselves of the guilt over ? up ? they do sunday after church-saturday

    I think as you grow, you begin to question why was this passed down to the MASSES. The same ppl who are responsible for writing the bible, were involved in alot of other ? that goes against the principles in that book. I don't agree with atheist and I dont agree with religion fanboys either. I think they both are too full of self importance and ego, to speak or listen to each other from a non biased perspective. if science and religion collaborated rather than competed imagine how much ? we would discover.

    I think like the bolded to. And why does every country still live by the basic laws of the 10 commandments?

    The basic laws of every land are based on the 10 commandments....from a story in the bible...

    You break the laws of the 10 commandments now...morally or physically...leads to negativity in your life.

    i think carl sagan said it the best i've ever heard

    "An atheist is someone who is certain that ? does not exist, someone who has compelling evidence against the existence of ? . I know of no such compelling evidence..."
    His argument fails because the claim of the "supernatural" is an unscientific one. So by the very nature of the claim, evidence can't be compiled for or against it.

    Such claims don't automatically get a status quo of "true" or "valid" simply because someone comes up with them.

    he didn't say anything about supernatural, if the laws of the universe are "? ", the universe is not supernatural. my whole point is, faith is doubt (i know that sounds like one of the phrases from animal farm) and what you choose to make it, at least that's how it is for me. i don't think this is an issue you come to a conclusion on and move on, for me it's a lifelong kind of thing, that is riddled with doubt and questions

    i'm not even sold on the realness of ours or anythings existence to be honest. and i find the more i learn the more i realize how much i don't know.
    He said "? "; which is a supernatural concept:
    8GcdK.png

    If he was referring to the laws of the Universe, there was no need to use the word "? " in the first place.

    That's no better than saying "If this oxygen atom is "the internet", than "the internet" is not technological.".

    Defeats the purpose of words having meanings.

    perhaps our definition that "? " is in fact supernatural is wrong
    By that reasoning, perhaps our definitions for all words are in fact wrong. Because by removing the "supernatural" aspect from the concept of "? "; it becomes objectively disprovable, observable, and measurable. At which point the burden proof falls squarely upon those claiming the concept exists.

    Perhaps "pigs" aren't mammals because our definition for "pig" is also wrong; it's a slippery slope b.

    the definition is wrong because our understanding is wrong. and when it is the bolded, science is then "? " which works for me
    You're still moving the goalposts by changing the definitions b.

    In the bolded you're calling one definition wrong, and with the underlined you're redefining the word.

    What's the point of you using the word "? " if you're not referring to what it's defined as or if you're referring to something else such as "science"?

    i only use the word in an attempt to explain myself in a way that is understandable, seeing as there really is no word for "? " as far as what i'm speaking of. sorta like trying to translate a word into english that doesn't have a direct translation so you have to use a phrase or something. the boundaries of language prohibit you from not speaking in such a manner. existence and just being (and the rules and laws of it) is what the conceptualized idea of ? is imo

    now as far as "? " in the traditional sense, i believe it's a coping mechanism for many in face of the abyss that is existence and the non-existence that is death. these concepts can be terrifying to a self-aware organism, because the unknown is scary. so the alternative religion provides has to be true for their own sake and not it's own sake.
    So you're not actually talking about the existence of "? " as Carl Sagan was in the quote you posted?

    Exactly. In the same manner that it is illogical to argue that Godzilla is controlling your actions without proof, it's also illogical to argue that "? " or something "supernatural" is controlling or influencing the Universe without proof.

    - You shall not murder

    I'm pretty sure that ? was looked down upon before the 10 commandments. It's not like ? had no problem with someone killing them and stealing from them before the 10 commandments dropped on the scene.

    "Oh, it's cool, go ahead and take my ? if you want to."

    "You want to ? me!?" "aight."
