aminor Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 How does that win anything? It just says' I say God exists, therefore God exists.' The atheist would surely reply: 1) There is no God 2) Therefore the world exists without having been 'created' 3) Therefore people who explain the existence of the Universe through a creation theory, have also come into existence without having been 'created' May be there is no creation, maybe its only awareness of it self, Something which is Infinite cannot be 'other than', or 'many', An Infinite Creator knows only Unity. And which god r u talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aminor Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 What if all stories of myths and religions are 60-70 percent telling the truth but manipulating the truth, we should change our way of thinking to see unmanipulated truth maybe...Everything in 3rd dimension (density) are illusions and illustrated by the light and time...Check what that song (and many others) telling about The Law of One Find light in the beautiful sea I choose to be happy You and I We’re like diamonds in the sky You’re a shooting star I see A vision of ecstasy When you hold me, I’m alive We’re like diamonds in the sky I knew that we’d become one right away At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays I saw the life inside your eyes So shine bright tonight, you and I We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky Eye to eye, so alive We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky Shine bright like a diamond We’re beautiful like diamonds in the sky Palms rise to the universe As we moonshine and molly Feel the warmth, we’ll never die We’re like diamonds in the sky You’re a shooting star I see A vision of ecstasy When you hold me, I’m alive We’re like diamonds in the sky At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays I saw the life inside your eyes So shine bright tonight, you and I We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky Eye to eye, so alive We're beautiful like diamonds in the sky Shine bright like a diamond EDIT: Quote deleted.

Timewarp Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Once I started to see that the Adam and Eve allegory was one of the roots of men's fear of their inability to control their lust, their lament that for all their strength and prowess, they are helpless against the "evils" of the flesh, it all started to fall into place. When you look at religions through this particular tinted glass, things take on an interesting slant. From Christian fundamentalism to burkas they all have the same decendents.

BBsq69 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Not sure how this fits into current events but here I go. To say categorically that there is no possibility that a creator or creators exist is a ridiculous position as is the converse. However I classify myself as an atheist because I believe it is so unlikely to be true that it is not worth my consideration, just like the committed religious person believes it is true because they see overwhelming evidence to the contrary. All beliefs are valid even if some of them are dangerous to other people and even themselves so people must accept others' beliefs and not judge them for holding such. However I reserve the right to say I find some of those beliefs abhorrent without fear of someone coming around and murdering me for it. My wish is not to provoke so I'm not saying which of those beliefs fit into that category except to say I find apostasy the hardest to deal with - to demand that people who change their minds should be put to death or otherwise punished is sickening in the extreme and shows a religion which rules by fear not love. "Do you believe in God?" "Yes, but not your God." "Maybe I can persuade you?" "Do you believe in God?" "Yes, but no longer your God." BANG! "Wrong answer."
