Hello again everyone!

I hope we do what neal said and stop the religion talk :p


I just found out that I need like 800 dollars to buy the stuff I want. Amp, cabinet and a cheapo guitar :cool:

As I think you've hit upon with that wee rant Sade, to me, Religion seems to be based on ignorance and stupidity, and the willingness and wanting to believe in a higher purpose in life than just being here to procreate. Ignorance is bliss, so they say.

God seems much like the Great Dragons in Discworld are. They only exist as long as people believe they do. When people realise (which I don't see happening anytime soon, due to the fervour people work themselves into over religion) that its a load of tosh, then God will cease to exist as a being, or even an idea. He will remain a myth. No, not a myth. Myths have a basis in truth. A story.

I do hope everyone in here is Atheist, or we could be causing some offence...

Sixx want boobs and cunt.

Ah man, don't make me go to the Politics board...

I hate that place.

Full of people who just use big words without real understanding.

I like talking to real people with real opinions :upset:

:smash:

I'm not an athiest, I'm a Roman Catholic (and proud of it), but I couldn't care less what you guys think. I take no offense to any of it.

I'm not Atheist. Then again, I'm not offended, as we are just saying our own opinions and what not :).

Honestly, here's my opinion. I don't give a flying f[size=2]uck[/size] about religion. I don't care what you believe, I don't care what I believe. I don't really think there is a god, or heaven or hell. Even if there was and he came straight up to me and said, "Hi, how are ya!" I wouldn't change the way I live my life. I just don't care, I don't feel I need too.

I don't want to be a theist of any kind, atheist or not. I don't like the conotation with it.

[QUOTE=fatbandit]Because God is Omniscient, Omnipotent and Omnipresent. He knows all. What has been, what is, and what will be.

Don't argue with that. I've tried. He is bigger than everything, and we cannot explain why He does what He does or How he knows what He knows. He just does.

What will be is clearly the most important issue here. He knows what we're going to do. To the extent of planning it? I'm not sure, but I have to assume so I think.

I choose to not believe in any gods anyway. So it doesn't matter. Its just for the sake of argument and wordcount++ in essays :p

:smash:[/QUOTE]


You should read some Descartes...I've never read him myself but according to my mate who's studying Philosophy at uni, he basically goes on about how the [b]only[/b] thing we can be sure of/assume is true is that "I" exist. Ie, I can only be sure that I exist, you can only be sure that you exist, etc.

So he spends a chunk of his literature attempting to prove this theory that the one thing we can be sure of is that we, ourselves exist. Then he spends ages trying to convince us that God also exists. :rolleyes:


But hey, it's probably unfair of me to some up a second hand summary like that...it's like the ultimate chinese whisper!

when you say cu[SIZE="2"]nt [/SIZE]here it says squirrel instead.

Im playing her right now, and damn is she good!! :D

On a separate note to religion, but in a similar vein to that Descartes stuff...

I think that you yourself are the only thing/person you can rely on. So don't put too much faith in others. If nothing else, you always know you're there for yourself :)

I'm not trying to be confrontational with any of that by the way, its just what I'm doing in my Essay at the moment, so I'm trying to bounce ideas around off people :)

:smash:

Solipsism. It's honestly the only thing to "believe" that makes sense.

On another note, I was discussing the idiocy of Tony Blair today in Int Studies, and a bunch of Hockey players complained "I had no idea what I was talking about," because they didn't like to discuss politics.

People make me sick. These are the same people that claim their pathetic, meaningless lives somehow matter more than world affairs.

*Cough*Voltaire*Cough*

That's not to anyone in particular, I just like that saying he's known for.

I'm too lazy to Google - Define: Solipsism.

Care to elaborate?

I guess it relates to the self rather than an external being/influence?

:smash:

By the way, Tony Blair is an idiot.

He's basically Britian's Bush. A facist, criminal that's has a majority political party that lets him do and say whatever he wants without consiquence.

Solipsism is the mentality that the only person that exists is you.

[QUOTE=Cil]Solipsism. It's honestly the only thing to "believe" that makes sense.[/QUOTE]

I believe that, in the sense that it does make sense in a simple way. But I don't have a problem believing in society, as screwed up and complex as it might be sometimes.

Society is a perception of perception and ingenuity.

I wouldn't agree with you on that one then. That way madness lies :eek:

I think believing in oneself inimitably (ie, 'I can do ANYTHING! WAHEY!') makes sense, but not the belief that nobody else exists.

Crazy stuff.

We don't know for sure. Knowing itself is a gift given by the creativity that our mentality shares it's "insanity" with. Even in a world lit by reason and logic, it's only until the definition of "madness" changes that that reason becomes obsolete.

As far as religion goes, I don't follow ones.

I just have a moral code I guess :/

I'm straight edge, so that forms a lot of my opinions about how to treat myself with respect, and from that stems me knowing how to treat others with respect. I only lead a simple life, for I am a simpleton :)

Basically, my Philosophy would be something along the lines of 'Don't F[b]u[/b]ck up! But if you do, nobody's really watching', seeing as in the grand scheme of things, very little you do will affect anything in all likelihood.

:smash:

It's the pain of our existance. Personal matterment is clustered and a/effected by our ability to reproduce and nothing more.

Adding to the evolutionary chart in single digits it the essence of our life.

Well then mark me down as being as ignorant and wedged in faith of something I don't know as Christians are then. I need to believe in what I can see, feel, hear, smell, touch... That is what is real to me, and what keeps me sane. If that were to be taken away, then hell... I don't know what I'd do.

Humans are material creatures methinks. If we hadn't developed our brain capacity, we'd be running round naked like squirrels and penguins, and not caring for anything except survival. Its only our thought processes that lead us to thinking we're superior to the animals that make us think that we really are more than material creatures.

We were just monkeys. Lucky monkeys.

Right place, right time.

:smash:

^Not really...our adeption and capacity to learn and retain knowledge is far superior to that of a monkey.

Yes, I say adept not ADAPT because we have a keen for adeption in spite of lacking adaptive capabilities.
