*I'm* a bigot? Because I'm intolerant of the those who are intolerant?Originally posted by: alchemize
No, it really isn't. Feel free to quote me on anything I've ever said on my faith. Your bigotry, however, is very apparent. Why didn't you do the respectable thing like that other intolerant bigot Todd33 and just shamble back off to under your rock when you lost the election? Seems you are trying to emulate him.Originally posted by: conjur
It's apparent what your "faith" is.Originally posted by: alchemize
You have no idea what my faith is. I've never stated on this board what religion I am/not.Originally posted by: conjur
I wasn't insulting anyone at all. I truly do not believe in make-believe beings in space. Sorry that doesn't fit with *your* beliefs but nice of you to insult me anyway.Originally posted by: alchemize
So you voted number 4, I assume.Originally posted by: conjur

Thanks for insulting anyone who votes for #1 and #2. Nice tolerance there.

Such a fine Bigot you are..

Well, I would have PMed it but certain people rather see it on the board... people like you. (This will be my last post on this subject matter, crap on Csg, it's the new fad with you).

Also, if there is a god he's surely not a perfect being. By definition he cannot be so because if he were he wouldn't have been able to create us imperfect beings in the first place. Therefore, if there is a god that created us, he must be imperfect and have a flaw or flaws. Kind of ruins the entire concept of "god" for me.

I don't think it would sadden you. I think you would only feel the saddness you cover over with belief. You believe in meaning but you also believe that you need meaning. What if meaninglessness is meaningless too? What if everything you could possibley ever desire you already have there under those tears?
I think this recording will summarize what's wrong with that perspective if you care to listen.

Totally unsubstantiated. Why can't God make something imperfect? He can do anything he wants.

It's because you are a good person and can feel god somewhere within. Fish too are in search of a mysitcal truth called water.Originally posted by: Kibbo
I'd have to say that I'm a soft Atheist. When pressed, I have to admit to a rational amount of doubt regarding the whole matter.
However, I assume that there is no god.

No need for pointless insults.
Religion is fantasy make-believe. If you find that insulting it's your problem. Once you can offer proof for existance of god or other religious beliefs, it will stop being fantasy make-believe. Until then, stop whining when people point out truths about your beliefs.

I could never get off on a God who would make a world intentionally imperfect so that millions of children suffer.
Sorry.

That is exactly what I find remarkable about all of the so-called athiests. How are they proving the inexistence of a higher power?

The burden of proof is upon the believers. Proving negatives makes baby jesus cry....

Sorry.
Where to start...
First of all, how does one define perfection? Does perfection even exist? Is there an ideal? How can something be perfect? To be perfect, something would have to be everything and nothing all at once.
Let's say we were able to define perfection. Is that what you would give your children? Why? What good does perfection do anyone? If everything is perfect, everything is identical. Identical is boring. In perfection, everything is already known. If everything is known, there can be no growth. Without growth what's the point?
My brain hurts.
