*warning: may be offensive to those who use religion as a crutch* If you are christian and don't want your religious views criticized, please exit now. (and than ask yourself why you went to the atheist forum) http://www.godlessgeeks.com/LINKS/GodProof.htm Found this. Was pretty funny. Enjoy.
more good stuff... ^^ Top Ten Signs that You're a Christian 10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of your god. 9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from lesser life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt. 8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Trinity god. 7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" -- including women, children, and trees! 6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky. 5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loop-holes in the scientifically established age of the Earth (4.55 billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by pre-historic tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that the Earth is a couple of generations old. 4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects -- will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet you consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving". 3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to prove Christianity. 2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God. 1 - You actually know a lot less than many Atheists and Agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history -- but still call yourself a Christian.
im getting a little carried away now arent i. george carlin is my personal savior http://www.godlessgeeks.com/LINKS/GeorgeCarlin.txt
Mui Good stuff. I'm printing it as a hand out. Pretty poor compared to watchtower. But 'occam' WILL fit throught the eye of a needle. While BIG FAT BLOATED religion will not. For he preaches no belief. Only a method to define an accurate method to belief. Occam
It's personal knowledge that non believers lack that is proof (beyond reasonable doubt) for believers. Remember the kid who could do calculus in 9th grade but failed english consistently? Remember the Kid who was taking college courses in 7th grade but totally lacked social skills? Look at Richard Feynman- great physicist with little to no knowledge of spiritual matters (unless you consider quantuum mechanics 'spiritual' physics) because of his focus upon farticulate matter. Just because you are a genious in some field (such as logic or rhetoric) does not mean that you can grasp even the most rudamentary spiritual concept. An atheist is the equivalent of a spiritual retard. Many theists are retarded in other matters. There is nothing wrong with you being spiritually retarded (atheistic) it is just something you have to learn to except. I would not slap you in the face with your disability if it was not necessary for you to acknowledge your developmental problems in order to overcome them. People with down's syndrome have become actors- with God's help an atheist can become a theist (and possibly a better theist than those raised as a theist).
haha spirituality is nothing you can study on and become good ^^... i questioned my spirituality a lot... meditated every day fer like 2-3 years... theres nothing out there... i can grasp it, but it doesnt seem logical.
I don't mind these kinds of jokes, esecially when they are in good humour. But there is a danger of people (especially young and impressionable people) reading these out of context and believing that this stuff is actually true. If you found it amusing, please remember it is just a joke. We Christians are the butt of many a joke, but it is just a joke; we are not morons.
Dizzy Yes;.. Christianity is the butt of many a joke. What jesus said was no joke. he spoke from the heart [of reason] Religion however. Speaks from self interest. Organised religion exists to make sure it exists. And any who get in the way are crushed. Exactly the same as politics. Organised religion IS politics. That is why agnostics have a good chuckle over the validity of religion. It is human politics.. And as such.. Has no 'objective' validity. [it exists as a structure of information,,interprteted by humans,,and no more] Occam
www.ex-atheist.com God is real,but he's picky! He's not a begger. You must be called. I find most secular individual's rude and vulgar! They want the right to use filthy words,and cuss in public places,yet they don't believe people have the right to talk about Jesus Christ to them. sounds sick to me. I hate curse words,and I don't think people have the right to use them,especially not in public. Religion is growing faster than ever,thats not going to stop.People will have to tolerate the religious views of others or go to jail. atheism is on the way out,thats the good news,but the bad news is,christians like me will be called a hater and someone trying to stand in the way of world peace because I believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to God! Religion is growing,and all religions will be accepted. only atheists and Jesus freaks will be frowned on,and even killed one day.
several things.... The site was amusing but utilized a weak style of argumentation (ie. strawperson arguements) the basic concept used here is to put up an overly simplified claim that now appears stupid, and attack that rather than having an actual intellectual dispute with actual claims from intellectual theologians. I personally am a Nietzschean existentialist that would defend Dionysian creativity as an alternative to the claims of different spirituality strains. So as it is already probably abundantly apparent I completely disagree with Christian theology, but also with this weak atheist argumentation although I am sure the site has more profound articles as well that I just haven't seen thus far. First of all when you call someone retarded, it'd be a good idea to use a word that makes sense in your sentence you dolt. For example, maybe us "spiritual retards" should ACCEPT this mindless categorization of ourselves into one tied in all-inclusive grouping, rather than EXCEPT it. Furthermore, your whole post is one gigantic lack of substance. Nothing is claimed here that has a warrent to support it. You have no idea why each individual atheist doesn't believe in your particular theological belief, and you still think you have somehow attacked their beliefs.
