Just as any other fictional characters and stories Man has created be it Batman, Superman, or Spock. We create "God" in our own image, not the other way around - and if you realized that you would be no more threatened by "Jehovah" than you are of Jonah Hex!

You're transparent and laughable. But you're right about one thing - we are done.

Gonna sign up for Obamacare now, to get treated for the stitches in my side you just gave me.

What do you mean inability to answer? I will answer you all day long.

I simply refuse to believe that which presents no evidence...so sue me...LOL!!!

Give me some...any...evidence...can you? No...I thought so.....until then we are done...

I'll further add that I don't think it's all that bright for a adviser to be attacking the religious beliefs of the members. I dunno, maybe that's just my own beliefs. But it really looks bad.

That aside, let's talk about perceptions and "evidence." Do you think paramecium and amoebas are aware of our existence? Well, you might say, of course not. They're incapable of discerning that.

Really? How do you know what they can discern? But if they're incapable of discerning us, does it stand to reason that to some other more advanced being, we could be paramecium or amoeba, to them and equally incapable of discerning their existence? Incapable of seeing any evidence?

Food for thought.

I mean, this is stupid right? Do you believe in other intelligent life out there in space? There's zero evidence to support that belief. Yet we don't go around attacking people who do believe it.

Food for thought?

Let's back up for a moment...we are talking about belief without evidence. Is this reasonable. No...it is superstition. I stand firmly on my conviction of evidence. Give me one shred of evidence...can you? No....you cannot...and until you can you are silent. I fail to see what is so difficult about this...

Telling a member to stfu and all you said to me is not what an adviser should be doing.
All I wanted was to post a video that I thought interesting you did not have to reply to it and as adviser it looks bad as you are representing vb and then kept attacking my beliefs can you not see how wrong this is you don't see me attacking yours. I would like this post either deleted or locked before someone says something you can't take back.

Admin please lock or delete this post

This is not a religion forum. What did you expect as replies? You brought this on yourself.
Every one has their own perspectives on things and their own opinion.

This is the problem with organized religion. The Christians and the Muslims think if you don't believe like they do then you're an infidel. The Muslims still execute non believers while the Christians don't. But the Christians have their own way of pushing non believers buttons. As you have done in this thread.

"I'm not here to live up to your expectations, nor are you here to live up to mine.
You do your thing, and I'll do mine."

The only correct religion is Klingon. Kahless will return one day, until then do your best to be among the honored dead else you wind up with this dude.



With that, thread closed.

FYI, checking Google this site has a history of Religious threads that ended peacefully, but no one made personal insults, no one took standard internet chatter personally, and no one requested the thread they started be closed when they were done posting.
