This is to all the misguided Evangalical Christians. The most section of this video starts on the sixth minute. I was shocked of what was said there. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-59ixicFRgQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-59ixicFRgQ&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>
this is the most powerful religious revelation: "Religion is regarded by the common man as true, the wise man as false, and the rulers as useful." ~Seneca the Younger 4 b.c.- 65 a.d
Vhehn...why are you so cruel to us Christians with your mean quotes? Here's another quote for you. "All cruelty springs from weakness." ~Seneca the Younger 4 b.c.- 65 a.d All fun aside, there is another good quote that was written in a letter to him. "We are all chained to fortune: the chain of one is made of gold, and wide, while that of another is short and rusty. But what difference does it make? The same prison surrounds all of us, and even those who have bound others are bound themselves; unless perchance you think that a chain on the left side is lighter. Honors bind one man, wealth another; nobility oppresses some, humility others; some are held in subjection by an external power, while others obey the tyrant within; banishments keep some in one place, the priesthood others. All life is slavery. Therefore each one must accustom himself to his own condition and complain about it as little as possible, and lay hold of whatever good is to be found near him. Nothing is so bitter that a calm mind cannot find comfort in it. Small tablets, because of the writer's skill, have often served for many purposes, and a clever arrangement has often made a very narrow piece of land habitable. Apply reason to difficulties; harsh circumstances can be softened, narrow limits can be widened, and burdensome things can be made to press less severely on those who bear them cleverly."
"Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear." - -- Thomas Jefferson Robert G. Ingersoll: The inspiration of the bible depends on the ignorance of the person who reads it
Actually I agree with the Thomas Jefferson quote. You should question the existence of God. You just better make sure your answers are right. Check, double check, and triple check your facts. The majority of atheists think God doesnt exist, simply because someone that went to school for longer than them, or wrote a book, told them that God didnt exist and atheists never check the facts about why. They will say the bible cant be right because we have carbon dating and scientists say dinosaurs are millions of years old and the earth is billions, but how many atheists ever check into the facts of where those scientists came to those conclusions. When they do check, they find that the scientists are just guessing and using scientific methods to "estimate". If an atheist does do all the research and learns the truth, he stops being an atheist and at the very least becomes agnostic.
you really are not very intelligent when it comes to science are you? "If an atheist does do all the research and learns the truth, he stops being an atheist and at the very least becomes agnostic." what do you call it when a believer looks at the evidence and learns the truth and then becomes an atheist? most atheists were once believers.
Well I for one am not shocked, call me crazy, that two people from that same damned desert have the similar language and religion. good for them, can they stop killing each other now?
Hi Illum, Actually, they would if you take the European and North American Zionists out of the equation. Regards, Sameeh
Obviously I'm more intelligent than you are since you seem to believe the universe "popped" into existence from nothing and became everything in less than a second, then you go and doubt that God exists because you cant believe the world formed in 7 days. In your view, the magical nothingness created everything. At least there is some intelligence behind what I believe created everything. And to answer your question, if the believer looks at evidence and learns the "truth" he is still a believer. But if a believer looks at evidence and becomes an athiest, then he is deceived. Also, you will notice that any so called believer that becomes an atheist, is a believer that really never read more than a few pages in the bible. Kind of like these people that say macs are better than PCs and they only used a PC once back in the early 90s. They really just dont know any better.
The Creationists' creed: It is ok to make false statements about stuff which must not be understood in order to manufacture some make believe with intent to deceive. A Creationist will insist, if the universe can be explained, it is not acceptable and must be discarded . If something is to do with being absurd, contradictory , misleading, deceptive, dishonest and called God , that is what's acceptable and intelligent and must be taken as true. When a Creationist tosses a coin, it's a case of deluding themself into the idea "heads I win tails you lose" is going to work. Kinda not like that at all. Macs and PC's exist thanks essentially to science and a real understanding of how the universe works which only science explains. You were using the PC's of atheism once, back when you were born and as a child , before being indoctrinated with religious brainwashing onto a MacGod.. Now, you really just donât know any better.
