ThoRn: Rest in Peace when you die either way friend. No hate or judgment from me.

You know, I've always felt that this Earth wasn't big enough for 2 or more people on it and there will be no world peace until I'm the last standing survivor. Because 2 or more people will find something to argue and fight over. If God created this world just for Adam then that makes sense. It wasn't until Eve showed up that things went to hell quite literally. But damn, that fine female ass is really hard to turn away. Lust was man's first sin and I still show evidence of it now with what I say.

Anyways, it's been a good, albeit a pointless debate, and I think even after 300+ replies to this thread we're all still where we started. Meaning that after 5000+ posts to this thread nothing will be any different than it is now. It's the ultimate troll thread really. And while it's been very civil and grown up thus far, I think it best if it was locked soon before it does turn ugly as frustrations are sure to grow out of hand.
Well yeah, no evidence was brought forward so of course it won't go anywhere.

Well considering the fact there is no evidence, I don't think you'll find any.

Starting to understand why people believe so strongly in Evolution, although i don't see why it deserves such high credibility given the evidence,,, Noted that Evolution does seem to steel allot of credibility because of the weaknesses in creationism but i don't think that way, i judge things on their own merits.

ThoRn: Can't do that until you die and see for yourself. Likewise I'm in the same boat as you. But unlike you, I'm not folding my cards and giving up my faith to play Russian roulette with my soul. The odds of losing are too great to do such a foolish thing.
You're still playing Russian roulette no matter how you slice it.

Combining Pascal's wager and the alien tangent, what if God was some Lovecraftian horror who sends everyone whose favorite color is green to Heaven, everyone who hates waffles to Hell and everyone else to put on a production of Cats for all eternity?

Why is it that the choices are:
1)Christian Heaven/Hell
2)Nothing

and not

1)Christian Heaven/Hell
2)Reincarnation
3)Green Heaven/ Waffle Hell/Cats
4)Purgatory
5)Just Heaven, for everybody
6)Just Hell, for everybody
7)Bacon

So you say "I'm not playing Russian Roulette with my soul." I guess you're right since the chance of dieing is only 1 in 6 in most cases.

In this case it's more like we're at the world's biggest gun show. You can choose any gun you want and you can switch your gun with any other kind whenever you want, but when you walk out you have to shoot yourself with your firearm. One kind of gun is unloaded but only those who've left the building ever really know and they're not allowed back in to tell anyone else. See? Way different from Russian Roulette, here your chance of dieing is more like 999 in 1,000. The odds were against you from the beginning.

Sorry, I had to say it, binary thinking annoys the crap out of me.

I can't honestly believe you've made any serious effort if that's the conclusion you've come to.

To me, God is a construct created by man to explain why we die and to help us deal with social aspects that are uncomfortable... As humans, God is the connection we have with every other human being on the planet and indeed every other being that contains DNA. We cannot discount our basic biology and the connection we share. Therefore, Einstein's theory of spooky action might explain our concept of miracles and premonition by dint of sheer connection. Yeah, it's a crazy theory but then using religious songs as a means to meditation and thusly a connection with a higher sense of purpose in the world is crazy too...

Hey, I'm of the mind that live and let live unless you're harming someone else is a really, really good way to live one's life. Call me crazy but if more people acted on this simple premise the world would be a much better place to live for everyone. Hey, do unto others as you'd have them do unto you isn't a bad premise either regardless of who you attribute the concept to.

~note: I use the word God as a euphemism... YMMV with regard to this word ;-p~

What's original title for Einsteins's theory of spooky action? :P
