    1) First of all, I have NO IDEA how spilling Scrabble tiles onto a board in any way relates to the way life developed on Earth. This is just plain stupid quite frankly. Maybe you play a different game of Scrabble than I do, but the last time I checked, the tiles don't interact with each other and create new letters/words as they sit there for billions of years. The events that led to our existence seem incredibly complex when reflected upon, but that fact alone does not necessitate a "creator." You fail to consider that things easily could have been different and that our existence is a product of circumstance. In other words, you have no concept of probability... or grammar. But mostly probability.

    2) You made my day when you said this: "I agree with you completely Rostos. I have encountered many atheist on the net and they all say the same boring thing. "Where is the proof" "Show me the evidence..." I genuinely LOL'ed at this one. How boring of us agnostics and atheists! Asking for evidence! What a bunch of maroons we are... how could we be so "stupid" (as you and Rostos have now resorted to calling us, being good Christians that you are) to ask of believers to explain why it is that we should believe? We aren't smart enough to believe things that there isn't much evidential support for, and this is quite regrettable.

    3) It's interesting that you think being an atheist means being a coward and that nonbelievers all "believe" deep down. I ask you a simple question: Is it more comforting to believe that after death we will ascend into the heavens to play an eternal 18 holes with the Lord, or that we will be consumed by blackness and nothingness? You think we don't wanna play golf with Jesus? I've heard he's a miracle worker around the greens... Who are the cowards now?

    4) Your picture is of a scantily clad woman with gigantic tits... where is that section of the Bible?

    Rostos:

    1) Stop using the word equivocation. You don't know what it means. Before you can use it again, I'm requiring you to post a definition of the word, and then once I am satisfied, you'll be allowed to use it again. Ironically enough, in constantly misinterpreting the word and changing its definition, you've committed real equivocation with the word "equivocation." Hilarious

    2) I had you read the definition of "confirmation bias" because you CONSTANTLY reference the ONE argument you think you have that "renders atheism false." As a side note, I love that you said god either definitely exists or maybe exists. It's impossible for him not to exist, so it's interesting that you include "maybe" as a choice when you eliminated "no." Anyways, you like to hang on to the one crumb of "evidence" you deem worthy of discussion and you say nobody "refutes" it. A) None of us (including you, clearly) are astrophysicists, so to attempt to discuss something above our heads and WAY above yours would be a travesty. B) You apparently haven't checked up on science lately, as there is a belief gaining popularity that we actually live in one of multiple universes, now collectively called a "multiverse." C) You seem to love your one (outdated) claim, but you tend to ignore other things that might put a huge dent in your argument. For instance, now that we know now that the Earth supports approximately 1.7 species of animal. Noah must've built a pretty big fuckin boat, lemme tell ya. This, my friend, is confirmation bias.

    3) You think that without Christianity or "God," there'd be no such thing as morality. You think that by not killing others, not stealing, et cetera, we have a great moral code. This is only a moral code because we are self-aware. If I said to you, "Wow, these ants are good people because they share everything and work hard and don't kill each other," you'd say (with more spelling errors) "That's ridiculous. Ants don't know what they're doing, they just do it to help keep the species alive." Interesting that you'd say that more-well-spoken-version-of-Rostos, because that's another way of viewing morality. Maybe morality EVOLVED because we collectively realize that killing each other and stealing and raping and doing other "bad" things would not promote the betterment and life of the species. It could be argued that morality is simply a higher form of self-preservation. You say things like "good" and "evil" as if there's always a clear cut way to determine one from the other. Is murder good? What about murdering a dictator seconds before he sets off a nuclear bomb? "Nothing in the world is 'good' or 'bad'... thinking only makes it so."

    4) Why would nonbelievers want to convince believers? If you thought your dad was going crazy and about to join a cult that sapped him of his money, time, and general life blood, you'd try to stop him as well, no? Why do I want to see my fellow man dedicate his life to a fairy tale world that condones corruption and prejudice? Why would I not my fellow man to be rational, logical, reasonable? If I saw a man about to cross the street he BELIEVED to be safe, and I had good reason to think a car would come and strike him down, should I not stop him because it's his right to believe? If it's really important to you to painted onto the hood of a car, be my guest Rostos. Be my guest

Is murder good? What about murdering a dictator seconds before he sets off a nuclear bomb? "Nothing in the world is 'good' or 'bad'... thinking only makes it so."

    4) Why would nonbelievers want to convince believers?

Why do I want to see my fellow man dedicate his life to a fairy tale world that condones corruption and prejudice? Why would I not my fellow man to be rational, logical, reasonable? If I saw a man about to cross the street he BELIEVED to be safe, and I had good reason to think a car would come and strike him down, should I not stop him because it's his right to believe? If it's really important to you to painted onto the hood of a car, be my guest Rostos. Be my guest

    SirJohnDrake:

    1) How do you feel that the very book you quote and the story you believe was in good part plagiarized? Please do look up the story of Horus. I bet it'll look REALLLLL familiar.

    2) What is with the microphone dude at the bottom of every post? Do you feel that your material is so worthless it needs to be amplified to be heard?

    3) Please go away. Being the amazing Christian that you are, shouldn't you be out spreading the word and doing good deeds and watching Broncos games? I doubt god's plan is for you to waste people's time on the forum of a gambling website by spewing Bible verses that are violating copyright infringement laws. God wants you to waste OTHER people's time SJD... the power of Christ compels you.... to go away

    4) Since you LOVE to contribute meaningless drivel to these conversations, I wanna contribute something meaningless of my own. I hope you understand my motivation for doing this, because you do seem like a wonderful man whose only tiny vice is a burning desire to lick a 12 year-olds scrotum, but here goes... in honor of your usless posts, I say these words to you as wholeheartedly as I can...

    SirJohnDrake... Fuck you

    LOLOL, i dont know what it means. I have explained over 15000 times , just like everything else, you dodge and duck out of the way.

    This is the atheists problem and how they equivocate.

    If i asked someone to give me the definition of time in a philospohy exam, and they answer me with, "it is a magazine"......That is an equivocation, a deliberate misuse of words.  

    2) I had you read the definition of "confirmation bias" because you CONSTANTLY reference the ONE argument you think you have that "renders atheism false." As a side note, I love that you said god either definitely exists or maybe exists. It's impossible for him not to exist, so it's interesting that you include "maybe" as a choice when you eliminated "no." Anyways, you like to hang on to the one crumb of "evidence" you deem worthy of discussion and you say nobody "refutes" it. A) None of us (including you, clearly) are astrophysicists, so to attempt to discuss something above our heads and WAY above yours would be a travesty. B) You apparently haven't checked up on science lately, as there is a belief gaining popularity that we actually live in one of multiple universes, now collectively called a "multiverse." C) You seem to love your one (outdated) claim, but you tend to ignore other things that might put a huge dent in your argument. For instance, now that we know now that the Earth supports approximately 1.7 species of animal. Noah must've built a pretty big fuckin boat, lemme tell ya. This, my friend, is confirmation bias.

    I am not going to repeat it again, i have repeated this over thousands of times, the nature of your response indicates it has hit a raw nerve,,,,,


    3) You think that without Christianity or "God," there'd be no such thing as morality. You think that by not killing others, not stealing, et cetera, we have a great moral code. This is only a moral code because we are self-aware. If I said to you, "Wow, these ants are good people because they share everything and work hard and don't kill each other," you'd say (with more spelling errors) "That's ridiculous. Ants don't know what they're doing, they just do it to help keep the species alive." Interesting that you'd say that more-well-spoken-version-of-Rostos, because that's another way of viewing morality.

    So your response was 1) AGAIN using the word equivocation incorrectly, and then three useless responses. You sound like JohnDrake now and that is far from a compliment. I certainly answered your question in number 4... I think you're insane for believing what you do and I don't want anyone to be insane

    1) First of all, I have NO IDEA how spilling Scrabble tiles onto a board in any way relates to the way life developed on Earth. This is just plain stupid quite frankly. Maybe you play a different game of Scrabble than I do, but the last time I checked, the tiles don't interact with each other and create new letters/words as they sit there for billions of years. The events that led to our existence seem incredibly complex when reflected upon, but that fact alone does not necessitate a "creator." You fail to consider that things easily could have been different and that our existence is a product of circumstance. In other words, you have no concept of probability... or grammar. But mostly probability.

    2) You made my day when you said this: "I agree with you completely Rostos. I have encountered many atheist on the net and they all say the same boring thing. "Where is the proof" "Show me the evidence..." I genuinely LOL'ed at this one. How boring of us agnostics and atheists! Asking for evidence! What a bunch of maroons we are... how could we be so "stupid" (as you and Rostos have now resorted to calling us, being good Christians that you are) to ask of believers to explain why it is that we should believe? We aren't smart enough to believe things that there isn't much evidential support for, and this is quite regrettable.

    3) It's interesting that you think being an atheist means being a coward and that nonbelievers all "believe" deep down. I ask you a simple question: Is it more comforting to believe that after death we will ascend into the heavens to play an eternal 18 holes with the Lord, or that we will be consumed by blackness and nothingness? You think we don't wanna play golf with Jesus? I've heard he's a miracle worker around the greens... Who are the cowards now?

    4) Your picture is of a scantily clad woman with gigantic tits... where is that section of the Bible?

    Amazing 

    What a solid post.

    If I started using words and giving them meanings other than the ones in the dictionary, how productive would that be? If I said to you "Tom Brady is really elephant at football" you would say to me "wtf does that mean? I would say "elephant" means "good" and you would go "no it doesn't." If I continued operating like this, we would get nowhere.

    Let's shift back to Rostos' complete misunderstanding of the term "equivocation." If Rostos keeps using the word, we can't possibly move further in this discussion because he is essentially speaking a different language. He's giving a word his own meaning. I didn't know Rostos was Miriam-Webster? So, in conclusion, until Rostos wants to use words correctly, no one is permitted to respond to his incorrect usage of words. After all, how can you respond to someone who is speaking another language?

    Sugarbear- A few points before you talk about my grammar I suggest you learn how to use spell check. But let's move on. If you don't think sex is in the bible or women are God's gift to man I suggest you read the Song of Solomon. In regards to the Scrabble example. Of course it doesn't make sense to you because it doesn't fit into your myopic view of the reality of all that is. So I wouldn't expect to say anything else. You atheists-agnostics are all the same. The minute someone challenges your cowardly point of view you resort to personal attacks, talking about "sky daddys" and the whole same tired lines that you guys use. Let's get another point across there is a difference between being "religious" and being "spiritual". I am a Christian no doubt but I'm not confined by some man made religious dogma. If you would take the time to read the bible and understand the words of Jesus. He wasn't about religion. He was about a direct relationship with God. Your unending need and requests on for evidence and proof is truly amazing. If you don't believe that God exists why do you waste your time trying to convince people that do believe that somehow they're stupid. If I don't believe in something I wouldn't care what you believed nor would I waste my time trying to convince you otherwise. The sheer fact that all you atheists keep trying to convince theists that there is no God proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that deep down in your spirit you know that there is a God. But because like I said before you're basically a bunch of COWARDS you don't have the guts to face your own reality. If you truly don't believe in God. Why keep discussing it. You will not change our minds. But you know what? Your mind will one day change because God is real and will reveal himself to you in subtle ways.

    Another point I would like to make. 90% of the people on this site like to bet on sports. So we all have that in common. Now as betting people wouldn't it be a smart bet to at least believe in a Higher Intelligence because if you're wrong you lose nothing right. However if you don't believe and their is a Higher Intelligence well we really don't know what the consequences would be but I'm pretty sure it's not going to be good. The wiseguy money says bet on God!

    Except these aren't Jesus' words. They're man's words that have been interpreted and re-written over thousands of years, each time to fit the changes in society and church's way of thinking.

    Have you talked to Jesus? Do you even speak the language he did?

    No. So you don't talk to Jesus, you don't talk to god, and when you talk to us, you display a complete lack of common sense and respect for anything that doesn't fit your preconceived notions of the world.

    Bolded - If god will let us know he exists why does he choose such an arrogant bunch of simple minded freaks that use no logic or evidence whatsoever to try to convince us of his existence?

Of course it doesn't make sense to you because it doesn't fit into your myopic view of the reality of all that is. So I wouldn't expect to say anything else. You atheists-agnostics are all the same. The minute someone challenges your cowardly point of view you resort to personal attacks, talking about "sky daddys" and the whole same tired lines that you guys use. Let's get another point across there is a difference between being "religious" and being "spiritual". I am a Christian no doubt but I'm not confined by some man made religious dogma.
    If you would take the time to read the bible and understand the words of Jesus. He wasn't about religion. He was about a direct relationship with God. Your unending need and requests on for evidence and proof is truly amazing. If you don't believe that God exists why do you waste your time trying to convince people that do believe that somehow they're stupid. If I don't believe in something I wouldn't care what you believed nor would I waste my time trying to convince you otherwise. The sheer fact that all you atheists keep trying to convince theists that there is no God proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that deep down in your spirit you know that there is a God. But because like I said before you're basically a bunch of COWARDS you don't have the guts to face your own reality. If you truly don't believe in God. Why keep discussing it. You will not change our minds. But you know what? Your mind will one day change because God is real and will reveal himself to you in subtle ways. 

    Except these aren't Jesus' words. They're man's words that have been interpreted and re-written over thousands of years, each time to fit the changes in society and church's way of thinking.

    Have you talked to Jesus? Do you even speak the language he did?

    No. So you don't talk to Jesus, you don't talk to god, and when you talk to us, you display a complete lack of common sense and respect for anything that doesn't fit your preconceived notions of the world.

    Bolded - If god will let us know he exists why does he choose such an arrogant bunch of simple minded freaks that use no logic or evidence whatsoever to try to convince us of his existence?

    Calling us cowards again? 

    Go fuck yourself. 


    3) It's interesting that you think being an atheist means being a coward and that nonbelievers all "believe" deep down. I ask you a simple question: Is it more comforting to believe that after death we will ascend into the heavens to play an eternal 18 holes with the Lord, or that we will be consumed by blackness and nothingness? You think we don't wanna play golf with Jesus? I've heard he's a miracle worker around the greens... Who are the cowards now?

    So we can't try to free your mind, but you can come in here and make a sad attempt at convincing people a god exists...

    Okay hypocrite...

    It's laughable that you're calling people out on grammar and spelling.  Go back to 3rd grade and learn the proper uses for "their" and "there"...

(Your example doesn't make sense because it isn't analogous to the development of life. This may or may not surprise you, but Scrabble tiles are not "alive" in any way.

     So I wouldn't expect to say anything else. You atheists-agnostics are all the same. (Closed-minded bigots who lump everyone in a group into one pigeonhole? A good Christian would NEVER do that! Only the evil atheists/agnostics/satanists/cockheads)

    Pascal's Wager was refuted a long time ago pal.. your chance of "guessing" correct religion to choose in order to reach heaven is 1 in infinity because there are an infinite number of possible religions... One religion could be Scrabblism, where we stare at a bag of Scrabble tiles until they fall out into a sentence. Now we've already established that you struggle with probability (along with logic, compassion, reason, etc.). But even you realize that 1 in infinity is a pretty shitty bet... you could even say it's just as good a bet as atheism.

    and when you find out that this 'higher intelligence' isn't who/what you thought it was, you might have to suffer the consequences.
