I can also ask why believers waste their time in Atheist forums



nonsense? You mean like the talking snake, and the virgin birth, and the resurrection?



Because those that can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. To quote a friend from another forum I'm on, "You're right to swing your fist ends at my nose."





Again, I can ask the same thing.

We are here because the right sequence of events happened. Some of these we know of, some of these we don't have the whole picture of, just yet, and some we still need to discover.

As TB mentioned, Stone Cold's hurt neck is the reason why he is not an "in-ring competitor" on the WWE anymore.

If he wasn't hurt, it would be interesting to see, but the reason why he isn't wrestling anymore is the reason why we will never see him in a MMA style fight.

DO us all a favor, the next time you have a thought. Don't.

The US, ranked 14th in the world going into the Semi-Finals, beat Spain, who was at game time, the #1 team in the world. The US then turned around and played Brazil ranked 5th.

Anytime you can go into back to back games against the top team, and the #5 team in the world, and you score 4 goals, while giving up 3 is a great achievement. So what if all three goals came in the 2nd half against Brazil, None of those goals were given away, Brazil had to earn each and every one of the goals.

Since this tournament took place in the same country as the World Cup is taking place, it will be a huge advantage to the US. Playing in the same stadiums, traveling the same way they will travel during the Cup, staying in the same places.

Since the US is now turning around and Playing in the Gold Cup, playing against Spain and Brazil in the Confed Cup will only go to strengthen the US team for the Gold Cup, and the rest of the CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying.

There are a few guys in the league who are better than 3rd-rate, but if the league wants to do away with it's third-rate image, than it needs to get rid of the Salary Cap...

As long as the MLS has it, it will never attract 1st-rate players in their prime.

The US sent notice to the world today, with the 2-nil win, but to really send a message, the US needs to go out there and do it again.

The US has a slight advantage going into the Final, since they have an extra day of rest(the other semi-final is tomorrow)

The Biggest question will be whether or not the US can keep this level of play up. I sure hope so.

Just a quick "fix"

35-game unbeaten streak, 15 game win streak, and Confederation Cup Scoreless Streak, all broken by the USA!

I know that this comment is going to sound weird coming from me because: 1. Of many of the comments I've posted on this forum, and 2. I'm an Atheist, and also very Anti-theist...

But, I have never really understood why when in love, to the point of wanting to spend the rest of your lives together means that someone has to change their minds.

I'll be completely honest here, as long as the person I'm seeing/interested in doesn't sit there and continually try to convert me, I have no problem accepting them as they are, and letting them keep their beliefs. Sure, I will poke fun at them, but I won't force them to change. Now, in the case of someone who is constantly trying to convert me, I'll take the easiest way out: I'll get out of that relationship myself.

As I have already explained (twice) you can't have it both ways.
Either it is all knowing, or we have a choice.

It's pretty simple how God being Omniscient, and us having Free Will(if there is a God) is impossible.
If god is an all knowing being, then it knows everything, what has happened, and what will happen. If this is the case, then Free Will is just an illusion. It appears as if we have the choice, but god already knows what we are going to do, and since it is known, it isn't a choice at all.
It's like watching your favorite sitcom. The characters appear to have different choices throughout the entire episode, but the choices they made were written in the script, so it wasn't a choice at all.
Now, if we actually have Free Will, and we actually have the choice, then god is not omniscient.

Now, whether you accept it or not, It really is that simple.

I've read Richard Dawkin's "The God Delusion" I also have 2 of his other books, which deal mainly with Science.

1. If you are right, it's a ****ed up test.

2. Either God is omniscient, or we have free will. If God is omniscient, then he knows everything, including every choice we are going to make, therefore, the choice is just an illusion. If we have Free Will, then god is not omniscient, then way call it god?

... Not to mention the fact that the main "evidence" for creation(the human body) is both poorly designed(Sewage Treatment, right next to the Rec area) but woefully inefficient(We only use something around 10% of the air we breath in)

So, calling a Human Body "Perfect"(as a number of IDiots do) is akin to calling the banana that we eat proof of god...

Other than the fact that Communism is a Socio-economic/Political idealogy...



How about something from somewhere other than a christian apologist site?

As it has been discussed here many times, the whole Hitler/Stalin actions can't be blamed on a lack of god, anymore than they can be blamed on mustaches.
In Hitler's Autobiography he mentions God several times, in several different ways.
As far as Stalin is concerned, the main problem there wasn't the lack of religion, but that the system he put in place acted too much like a religion.
Not to mention that recent history is also full of people full of god killing too, so your point fails, epically.

Seriously? You're gonna tell me that a religion "guided" by a book that starts off as little more than a bloodbath doesn't support that?
You don't even have to leave the book of Genesis before you reach a passage that supports the Capital Punishment!
In closing, how exactly does "kill the killer" not fit in with the "Kill the heathen/non-believer/he who doesn't believe as you" that the major religions have? Seems to me it fits in quite well.

The concert kicked ass. NIN's set was awesome, and to see the original lineup of Jane's Addiction on the same stage again was great!(even if they already can't stand each other, again. )

Well, time and time again, these people prove that they only care about you while you are unborn. After you leave the womb, they don't give a damn about you, unless of course, you perform abortions, for whatever reason you are performing them.

While the bullet may have been what ended the Doctor's live, it was the bunch of words, and the ideology that the shooter believed in that pulled the trigger.

To sit there and claim otherwise is simply absurd, even by your standards.
