Compared to 47% thinking that being gay is a choice. (http://www.queerty.com/47-of-america-thinks-being-gay-is-a-choice-and-yet-43-supports-gay-marriage-20091218/)
Dear LGB people, we’ve fought for and supported your rights, mind returning the fucking favor?
Emphasis added. I got your back, socialistexan.

It’s slowly come to my attention, the horrid slander of christian religion and other monotheistic religions. Monotheism is the belief of one single God, Single states of just one. I think I’ve said something before but it’s began to burn in my gut. The pride of inverting religious idols and objects such as the Latin cross. Putting inverted crosses onto innocent subjects such as kittens or deers. I think this ignorant stance pervaded from the “hipster/indie” movement. I am not against atheism but do not approach it as a loyal Catholic. It is very hard to see that figures of the church are being portrayed in satanistic ways. Yes there have been issues cloaked into the church on wrong doings by past icons.
You cannot portray history that you haven’t seen and your ideals possess your image. Whatever you do on subject to via Internet is watched and deemed later in life. Movements that promote these actions later on do die off. But your mark is still left in turn. So please take in consideration the actions you do throughout your day. People no longer think of actions and transpire to just do as felt. This method is wrong and is explained in testament. Theres a reason that humans posses a mind, it was meant to use towards challenges in life. The mind has been splintered and washed with filth since early ages.
God is not something cast from mere childhood and ended in adolescent years. God remains as a judge throughout a persons life. People don’t understand the true will of God if God isn’t felt in travesty. These are those with younger forbidding souls that haven’t touched true agony. God may teach early on in life or later on. When people pass the soul is judged of life in the material world (earth). Materialism is often a leader in denial of God, which is part of the seven deadly sins. As children of God we must stray from the unknown and sin. In turn many people in today’s society are turning their backs to the one true father even subjects in the church.
It pains me to see that Christianity has been slowly decaying and I hope that people can come to see the detriment it is causing in life. Though in my heart and mind God thrives. God bless.
The decay of Christianity is largely due to Christians and people who set out to reaffirm their faith through reason.
Well spoken. Well, written. I’m totally publishing this one.
Your video does a poor job of countering my argument. It basically says that science must be taken on faith because it’s too difficult to go out and do the research. This is not a shortcoming on science’s part, but on your own. If you’re not up for putting in the effort, fine. But that doesn’t mean everyone who does is relying on faith. That’s just silly.
Your problem is epistemological. You have not devised an effective and coherent method of acquiring knowledge, so you place everything anyone accepts as true on the same epistemological level as religious faith, which is absurd.
Faith is antithetical to knowledge. It is the presumption of knowledge without the epistemological backing that it requires. The reason we call it faith is precisely because it isn’t knowledge.
Bloomberg reports that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has ended its probe into possible financial fraud at Lehman Brothers, and will not recommend enforcement action against former executives of the defunct investment house.
Un-fucking-believable.
This means that either the laws are so worthless, they actually did not do anything legally wrong, or the SEC is so profoundly corrupt that they won’t touch Lehman.
Either way, the fucking banksters need to be burned to the goddamn ground.
I love you Wil.
wait wtf I heard that Benedict Cumberbatch is playing The Master in the next season of Doctor Who…
Is this true?
It is not.
Religious people haven’t seen any scientific evidence for God, yet they believe in him. This doesn’t require faith, because they have religious evidence, and (a particular) religion is the belief system they subscribe to. Nonetheless, some of them are stupid and talk about faith all the time when really they don’t need it to support their beliefs.
Scientific people haven’t seen any scientific evidence for 99% of the theories of science, yet they believe in them. This requires faith.
Seriously, that’s, like, the opposite of true.
Science only relies on faith as much as you don’t want to question it. That’s the neat thing about science: Anyone can do it, and everyone is encouraged to. If you have doubts, by all means, please recreate the experiments. Scientists want to be proved wrong. That’s how science advances.
A lot of people pride themselves on being atheists. Which defeats the purpose of basing your beliefs on the absence of something.
Except atheism isn’t a belief system, and I know of no one who bases their beliefs on God’s absence.
You should be an atheist first and foremost out of laziness, and secondly that you want to be left alone.
Actually, no. You should be an atheist first and foremost out of intellectual honesty and critical evaluation of your perceptions of the world around you.
And by the way; No, NOBODY is “persecuting” you for being an atheist.
Tell that to the people who are disowned by their families, shunned from their communities, fired from their jobs, and separated from their children because they don’t believe in God.
I think most atheists imagine they are much smarter than others, because they have everything figured out.
Ummm, no. Atheists by and large are acutely aware of the fact that we don’t have everything figured out, and that many of the answers we’re expected to accept have no basis in reality. Also, it may be worth pointing out that atheists tend to be highly educated and very rigorous in their manner of thinking.
As if life, existence or even human emotion can be perfectly understood.
No one ever said that. But that’s no excuse to stop looking for answers and just say, “God did it.”
And of course they imagine that they have Religion completely understood. I feel sorry for these people. They understand religion as well as you can enjoy a meal by just reading a menu.
Again, no. Most of us realize that there is no way to completely understand religion, particularly since so little of it actually makes any sense. We aren’t trying to enjoy a meal by reading the menu. We’re trying to enjoy a meal by understanding the ingredients, how they work together, why they go together as well as they do, where the meal came from, what prior, similar meals were like, and how we can go about recreating said meal so we can enjoy it again and again while avoiding less than appetizing alternatives.

I’ve never really thought about it, since he always does it for the good of someone/some race, but I guess the Doctor really is something of a mass murderer, isn’t he?
Well, he did destroy Skaro and Gallifrey, killed all the Time Lords, most of the Daleks, the sexy fish vampires, and the Pyrovilians.
But then, he did all of that to save others.
Here’s a good place to start: http://talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/ It’s not comprehensive, or course, but it’s definitely a solid starting point.
The overwhelming majority of scientists the world over accept evolution as fact, despite what you may have been told.
Your other points are simply not true.
Why do you teach us about evolution if it’s been shown to be completely false by science?
Because it’s been shown to be scientific fact. Whoever told you it’s been shown to be completely false by science is either misinformed or a liar.
There isn’t any supporting evidence and if there is, it’s misinterpreted or impossible.
Literally all the scientific evidence points to evolution. Whoever told you there isn’t any supporting evidence and if there is, it’s misinterpreted or impossible is either misinformed or a liar.
Why teach the future generations something that effects how they think about life when it’s not true.
Says the creationist.
This sounds like some horrible conditioning. Whether you believe in God or not. Everyone is entitled to clear understood facts. Not fabricated, none evidence backing theories.
I agree completely. This is exactly why you’re taught evolution in school.
one of my friends just posted this on facebook : Don´t forget to pray to God before you go to sleep because he doesn´t forget to wake you up in the morning!
and now they have a huge discussion about how merciful and kind as sweet and wonderful god is going on.
Considering buying a straitjacket…
So…
people who don’t pray before bed never wake up in the morning?
Have I been sleep praying?
But don´t you understand? God loves you, even if you don´t believe in him, and because he is merciful, he overlooks the hurtful things you say about him and makes you wake up in the morning, because he is giving you a new chance to accept him and become a faithful follower of his teachings of love.
Of course though if you don´t accept him soon he might change his mind and send you to hell.
So pray at night, give god a little ego boost so he won´t forget about your special and unique soul and you get to live through another day!You know, Christian logic and all.
This was perfect.
