Buddhas Hand Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 There was a man who nothing of the ways of the world. He had a lot of questions but received few answers. He nontheless lived a full and happy life. He found company in those around him who were in the same boat. He died, met his God, and got his answers then. There was another man who knew everything. His knew all the answers in life, but lacked life's questions. He lived a life in torment of the knowledge he had. With his infinite knowledge of the universe came the infinite emptiness of the universe, and he was often alone. He died, received no additional answers in the afterlife, and remains in torment throughout eternity. But the answer to 'life, the universe, and everything', if you want to live that life, is 42.

wtpasc Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 "Atheists are this." "Theists are this." my question, why is everyone so worried about what other think of their belief? also, why is everyone so concerned about the beliefs of others? I am agnostic and find the whole religion/atheism argument completely futile and useless. just for fun though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VICanucksfan5551 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I never said it was an idyllic time - I said the world is more violent today. That is, people are more brutal... We are desensitized to the violence around us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverpig Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Look up the Hitchens vs. Tony Blair Munk debate. It's a good listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.K. Chesterton Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Look up the Hitchens vs. William Lane Craig debate. I'd say look up the Dawkins vs. William Lane Craig debate but...you know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German_Canucks_Supporter Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 True or not, blah blah blah - doesn't matter if it was tbh....the story just proves that the thinking mentality atheists have when they get into discussion is plain stupid lol. And yea, if you guys are so dramatic about it being fake, I made it, happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.K. Chesterton Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yup. I hate it when people paint science and theism as mutually-exclusive opposites. They're not, and that line of thinking is just going to further push some religious people into the notion that they need to choose between their faith and science, greatly hindering scientific pursuits.

VICanucksfan5551 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Yep. And the problem is that both religious folk and secular folk are trying to make it seem as if they can't having faith and science. Here's a fascinating article. The author believes in theistic evolution and he feels that many atheists will automatically alienate Christians because they ignore and disrespect their beliefs (e.g. Dawkins). He suggests that, if evolutionists really want to convince Christians to the truth of evolution, they should give that task to Christians who believe in both God and evolution, theistic evolutionists. http://ncse.com/rncs...speak-evolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLumme Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Good article. The theistic evolutionists really do tend to get ignored in the "debate" over evolution. I wrote a paper on the failure of evolution in the school system last term and I'm kind of wishing I included some things in that article as possible solutions.

VICanucksfan5551 Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Seems to me like that article is just about christians trying to hold on to a vestiage of a crazy fairy tale, and trying to fit it in with acutal scientific thought. And to catogorize anyone as an 'evangelical athiest' isn't worthy of any intelligent response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
