[QUOTE=mappymassacre;17536307]But it's just as reasonable to say that there is a god/are gods.[/QUOTE]

uhhh

"we have not observed any evidence of god(s), therefore god probably doesn't exist" makes alot more sense than "we have not observed any evidence of god(s) but our scope is too narrow to tell for sure, therefore god exists"

But that's not the argument I was making, but you're really good at the whole, "this is what I believe therefor I won't give anything else thought," thing, I've noticed.

[quote=mappymassacre;17536328]Because there's pretty much no proof in either direction, and pretty much no way to prove either side of the argument.

It's either, there's nothing out there, or there's this force(s) out there that are incomprehensible so we wouldn't know anyway.[/quote]
Sure, however there is really nothing to believe in a god. I mean, what in our reality makes you believe? I just don't see it.

Well maybe you guys are just much more EDUCATED and SMARTER than anybody who could possibly believe in a god, or even comprehend believing in a god.

No one suggested that.

ok everyone [I]just chill[/I]


chill owt

my favorite line from any batman movie

mappy i don't have anything against religion, i've stated my position on religion here multiple times. it just seems more "reasonable" to believe gods in any way that humans have imagined to exist don't exist.

not everything people do has to be "reasonable", though =]

I'm not saying you have anything against religions, I'm just saying you suck at comprehending the concept of perspectives.

Then again, that's pretty much every single person on this forum's problem.

okay so top three things that need to be done

1. smash the state

2. smash organized religion

3. smash timjim's avatar

all a matter of perspective at the end of the day

that's why I believe what I believe, because it just seems to make more sense, but for others it isn't that way. chalk it up to whatever you want (stupidity, naivety, close-mindedness), but they pick that option because it makes the most sense to [B]them[/B].

h5 mappy for using word perspective like me

[B][FONT="Fixedsys"][COLOR="Magenta"]Mastering the forces of teleportation
gaining the secrets to travel through time
approaching the vortex, chronometer reading 0 B.C.

What was the past will soon be changed
my first priority to destroy the manger
crushing the myth of paradox

Merging with the past
shock waves rip the continuum
How long can I last, travelling at millenium?

Following the North Star shining abright
to the place of the holy birth site
craving my need to kill the one
born of the name "The Nazarene Son"

Now that I have you into my sights, Nazarene child
pulling the trigger with no reconcile
blasting away Father, Mother, and Child
laughing hysterically all of the while

For centuries I have awaited this confrontation
in time I will bring them all down

in a debate i don't think the point is to empathize with the person you're debating against, none of it should be personal

the fact that we're doing this through text makes it even harder

perception is reality

see, i feel the purpose of a debate should be to come to agreements or make compromises, rather than to just prove one another wrong though

so empathy is like, key
