Religion and Other Things

[Liquid Blue]

I hate religion discussions.

All I can say is religion did not answer my questions. Sure, people gave me religious answers, but I was never satisfied with them. So I decided to answer the questions for myself which led me far, far away from religion.

I'm glad you haven't given up on your answers, and at least you found some sense of accomplishment from your search- I was just wondering what said questions were?

You know who the greatest philosopher of all time is? You... You are your greatest philosopher... Think for yourself and stop letting others form your own opinions for you...

I think it's the height of arrogance to assume oneself is the greatest of anything, there is always someone better than you at whatever it is you think you're good at. Instead of thinking yourself to be the greatest philospher of all time, wouldn't it be better to just say that you hold your opinions and theories in high regard, but are willing to listen to others? It's one thing to think for yourself and another to block everyone out just because you disagree with them.

He was saying the Scientific Revolution pretty much should have disapproved God in all senses, and that when people lost faith in God, he esstentially died.

I think.

I disagree with him then. Just because a scientific revolution occurred, doesn't mean he's going to vanish into thin air, die , or that every single person who believed in him is going to renounce him. Even if a majority turned their backs on him, I don't think God would just fade away. But then again that's stepping into highly opiniated territory, so of course everyone is not going to see eye to eye.

Edited for spelling, but I probably missed a word or two.

[analogy] In Halo, the covenant are religious, and they are scientific. He probably never played Halo.[/bad analogy]

I was declared a prodigy in the 6th grade, I highly doubt that... -_-

Then dude, what the fuck happened?

[Stylez]

Drugs and women...

[Andy Rooney]

Finnish people hate jesus. :fear:

[Theif of Time]

well so long as you're having fun.

[Stylez]

That I am... Though, it's time for me to grow up... You know, the whole, being a man and everything... blah... :P

[Tone]

styles wanted me to reply, i replied, then he resorted to throwing a tantrum and calling me a sociopath. gg

[PH]

I wouldn't call that a tantrum. He pointed out the fact that you can't stay on topic in any normal discussion without insinuating that everyone has some sinister ulterior motive or some role in a wacky worldwide conspiracy, and that you do in fact sound like a sociopath who hasn't seen daylight since birth.

I guess the truth hurts.

[Squeezer]

Tone do you have tunnel vision?

Other people than Stylez adressed your points.

Just because the answers didn't come from the person you wanted, doesn't mean you disregard them.

[Superted]

religions and their borders, sorry about the watermark

I'll have to disagree with this sorry, no country has 100% of the same religion.

[Theif of Time]

Its probably meant to be 'major' religions of that country.

[scumbag]

Its probably meant to be 'major' religions of that country.

exactly, but i do agree with Disliked in a way, these do seem somewhat innacurate

Well I guess where we know where you stand with your self-esteem hiding in your pocket. He's making the point that everyone is their own best "philosipher" as in no-one can predict or dictate what you believe exactly and it is up to you, yourself to find this out.

Just because a scientific revolution occurred, doesn't mean he's going to vanish into thin air, die , or that every single person who believed in him is going to renounce him.

This is true, especially seen as many religious texts are not meant to be interpreted literally.. Many scientific findings have gone to reinforce many beliefs.

[Cops]

Says the guy who's never said anything positive towards me... It's all cool... You're a moronic imbecile in my book as well...

That's right because there has never been anything nice to say about you.
