838834 2009-12-12 03:39:00 Why not have many gods as our ancestors did? Why does it have to be one God? Why is fun a sin? :angry

If you have to believe in God be a Catholic sin all your life and one good deathbed confession, automatic entry to heaven. :illogical

Never mind I'm going to Valhalla. :lol:

838836 2009-12-12 05:02:00 Why do we care?

They are happy,which is the purpose of life,is it not?

Good on you, Cissy. Why care?

You believe what you want to believe and I'll believe what I want to believe.

Anything you say will not sway me to your way of thinking and I'm certain that anything that I say will not sway you to my way of thinking.

So don't you think that any discussion on the existence or otherwise of God is a complete waste of time?

Why not go any spend your time on something important?:illogical

838837 2009-12-12 05:36:00 Why the bitterness, is it that you are sorry for us or that your not sure of your own beliefs? If we are misguided then surely your sense of humanity should lead you to pity (that we are deceived) not 'name calling' and if you don't care about us then again why resort to name calling?

By the way, I totally respect your right to call me confused or misguided but 'brainwashed' tends to make me think you watch to many conspiracy movies.

< big hug coming your way>

I chose brainwashed on purpose. Somewhere along the line someone made 'God' a way of life. Convinced millions. It still continues today.
Brainwashed.
No bitterness from my end, just calling it how I see it.
I thought the conspiracy thing might come up.... looked funny when I wrote it.

Your not far wrong mate, I reckon religion has been Christianity's downfall, and a lot of religious people have made a living out of 'brainwashing' people into following them .... not so sure God has the same modus operandi tho He sure has copped a lot of fall-out thru association

Exactly they have to prove it.

838841 2009-12-12 17:07:00 A burglar broke into a house one night .

He shone his flashlight around,

looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said,

'Jesus knows you're here . '

He nearly jumped out of his skin,

clicked his flashlight off, and froze .

When he heard nothing more ,

after a bit, he shook his head and continued .

Just as he pulled the stereo out so he

could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard

'Jesus is watching you . '

Freaked out, he shone his light around frantically,

looking for the source of the voice .

Finally, in the corner of the room,

his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot .





'Did you say that?' he hissed at the parrot .

'Yep', the parrot confessed, then squawked,

'I'm just trying to warn you that he is watching you . '

The burglar relaxed . 'Warn me, huh?

Who in the world are you?'

'Moses,' replied the bird .

'Moses?' the burglar laughed . 'What kind of people would name a bird Moses?'

'The kind of people that would name their rottweiler Jesus . '

838843 2009-12-12 22:51:00 Talking of fish the whole does (s)he exist/not exist has already been explained very simply.........

" The Babel fish " ,said The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, " is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oldest thing in the universe. It feeds a on a brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with.It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear to collect abrainwave matrix which is then fed into your mind by your Babel fish.

Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mindboggling useful could have been evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non existence of God.

The argument goes something like this: " I refuse to prove that I exist, " says God, " for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing. "

" But, " says Man, " the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have been evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED. "

" Oh dear, " says God, " I hadn't thought of that, " and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

" Oh, that was easy, " says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing. "
