How Good A Follower Are You(Religion)?

God is a he because even untill recently women were a sub-species.  They couldnt vote and untill 20 years ago rape was legal in marriage. Women had to do what they were told.

manasol i really didnt have a clue what that last post was about.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
Cant belive your using Einstien to show there is a god!

Im basing my opinions on corporate life on my work experiances and those of close friends. In most companies you have to be a sly arse to get anywhere. It takes hard work as well but if you have two people going for a promotion, they both work at the same level but one of them brown noses the boss and bitchs about the over ones quality of work within earshot of the boss, that person 90% of the time will get the job.

ummm.... i'm more scientific than gullable. Gods made sense waaay back in the day when humans didn't understand things such as rain, fire, lightning, sun, moon, waves, the meaning of life, all that good stuff. Then people began to think about stuff and most of those questions becam answered over the next few thousand years. Now we still don't know things like the meaning of life (my opinion: survive) and stuff like that so humans lumped in all into one god, not 50. The jews are right, christians are right, muslims are right.... see what i'm getting at here? SOOO many religious things were PROVEN wrong through science, but the things we don't understand people explain by a "god", but there are many different versions that claim to be right. I wish people would just start thinking for themselves.

BTW i love how "god" is a he, makes sense doesn't it? Didn't think so

so many religions were proven wrong throug science?  Never.  Have you even heard of the study of MetaPhysics?  It's what we can't see-- unexplained events or occurances which violate laws which govern the universe.  You cannot deny these happen every day!
Have you ever heard of Newton, Faraday or Pascal?  Probably the smartest men to ever live, and the original, true scientists.

GOD is not a HE, "he" is beyond gender.  I always find it funny when people try to argue his "gender"....so just to switch it up once in a while I say she, cuz  really it doesnt matter. smile.gif

he said 'religious things', and by that he meant, as an example, the people who used to attriubte thunder to a god because they didnt know what caused it...



but i love the topic title of this thread...(when read with your typical chrsitian in mind)  wink.gif

* and do not take that as a bash towards every christian or christianity in general, its far from it...   beerchug.gif

Something really interesting that a guy told me today....

A battery has a positive and negative charge....

A battery using only positive charge won't work....

A battery using only negative charge won't work...

Faith is just like it.....if everything was positive, the battery wouldn't run (there would be no need for faith), but if everything was negative, the battery wouldn't run (there is no reason to have faith)....

I thought that was interesting...

yeah i've heard of meta physics.  It's like the string theory.  Read "The Elegant Universe" By Brian Greene or watch the 3 part NOVA special.  Or read up on Edward Witton he has a lot of really good stuff.

I don't believe in gods because there is no empirical evidence for any of them. Period.

Shadolnk, do you belive in luck?

As for Melon, They call comparisions of two Unlike things metaphors. This helps people understand the relavence of the topic on hand. (You might want to learn your physics too, electrons and protrons aren't the same as a negative and positive charge of a battery)

(Not trying to put words in your Manasol, tell me if this isn't the point your trying to get across.)
Manasol isn't saying nonbelievers are imoral, he is just stating that nonbelievers have a greater chance of being "pushed" in the wrong direction, unlike believers, who have an outside force that helps push them back on track.

Your intelligence is like a porn star with micro-penos....somewhat lacking, as far as im aware thats a metaphor, and very childish


That would be a similie, you used like or as to compare your two unlike things... I suggest you make sure you don't make a fool of yourself when trying to undermine another's intelligence.

a simile IS a metaphor, and for the love of god close this thread.
