I'm not blaming others, just you. I totally agree, there aren't concrete ways to logically prove faith, and therefore it is people that halfassedly try to prove faith that annoy me. Some people in this thread seem not just to be criticizing athiests because of their fanatacism, but because of the personal position they take. That is hypocrisy. I'm not really worried about it, I am more so just, as dave says, intellectually masturbating.
to me, attempting to prove it is better at least than blind faith... though not very much so. By the way Dave, my perception is way better than yours. Also, thermometers are the greatest of all instruments. Totally kick barometers' asses. And don't you go bringing that ruler around here.
YES, thankyou!!! I needed that Therefore, the idea that a god MUST exist (even if you're not willing to accept a certain one) is also presuming and unscientific. I have made my case in one post. Thankyou.
the hell is a caper? i'm afraid to google it, because i'm getting vibes it might be found in the ocean. there'll always be something to annoy us... unless we're truly apathetic, but i don't think that exists. to be misunderstood is frustrating. realize it takes two to make a misunderstanding. share the banana? :cheers2:
Only among idiots and readers of richard dawkins. Trust me, I am not one of those people, although admittedly I personally can only believe in the immediate and proveable, no matter how hard I try at faith (of a religious level) it never seems to work.
it's kind of annoying when the only active thread in rt has well over 200 posts and you just don't feel like reading them... just saying...
Capers are a sort of pickled olive or something like that. They taste a little like gherkins with mustard after being barfed into a bucket of pee. Lets share the banana....I'm going to coat my side in chocolate though.
You guys. It's either something that is TRUE, the Truth, or it isn't. For a lot of us, we can see the truth in the words of Jesus. Period. If you can recognize it, you can believe it. If you can't, you can't. But there IS truth in this world. It goes beyond human explanation. That's why we keep trying to figure it out, scientifically, as if our intellects were great enough to solve the mysteries of the universe. Yeah. It's like that.
No shit. Why aren't folks posting new threads? We aren't thinking of Random Things, or something??? And we call ourselves "Stoners???" Come on, folks.
rofl so your beef is with people trying to prove something that shouldn't even be tried to be proven. why you keep cap'ing must and probably isn't, then? in pakistani mcdonalds... a chocolate ice cream cone= vanilla ice cream with chocolate coating. blasphemy!
well there is a separate forum for that, although you can only debate whether seeds cause infertility or whether you can snort kief so many times before giving up on that place...
cool. i try to work constructively with people holding differing beliefs. uber patience necessary, but i can do it.
i'm sure it can be done. hell, in one of the jackass movies somebody snorted wasabi or something. i'm sure if nothing else it's less unpleasant than that. my personal answer though, is : please don't, i'd like to smoke that.
Yes, I probably explained it very poorly. My beef is with people that criticize athiests for saying that science proves ultimately that there is no God, and then go on to use science to say that there mustbe a god. Both parties are dicks.
Capers are rarely actually capers anymore but usually from nasturtiums or nasturtiums, I can never remember which.
