That aside, comedians have a lot of bullshit in their stuff. I cant get through watching 5 seconds of Bill Hicks without shitting all over his terrible philosophies.

Couldn't agree more.. These dudes are straight faggets, always riding dick, never beefing..glad some one called these homos out.

As for atheism... I'm a confirmed Christian, but I can't say I believe in a higher power. If religion helps you become a better person than go for it.

You say God, most atheists say science. You believe in a book that was written by humans thousands of years ago.

how can you call yourself a Christian and not believe in a higher power?

[The Dope Man]

I don't call myself a Christian. I was confirmed at a young age, didn't have a choice, it was a family thing. I haven't been to church since, besides funerals.

IMO- the church is front to get money, if you do your research right through history, you'll see the corruption. But religion can be a good thing for some people. If it's used properly.

Atheists think they are the bees knees because a google search proves something in the bible to be wrong. They don't even understand the concept of the bible, or that any religious figure can kill any non believer by the clichéd "God works in mysterious ways".

good shit.so philosophy and money hungry hoe's > than science?

Now I obviously have time for Fidel and Indo BUT this is the stupidest thread I've ever read in the 7 years I've been on this website. I'm an atheist..... come at me bro, I'll dispel all this bullshit you guys seem to believe in.

I'll take your questions, @Agonize might want to join in too.

No, it doesn't. There is an elephant's head sticking out of your mum's vagina.... Oh there isn't? Prove it? Oh you can't?..... Well I guess there is then.

Hold up.

Why MUST there be something other than this??? Seriously, why must there be?? How can you state that something exists without proving it?? This, "well, it would sort of make sense if...." nonsense is fucking retarded.

Also, you're wrong about athiesm being a cop out. If anythingm, religion is a cop out for the hard truth that the universe if fundamentally ambivalent about you.


Truth is, you don't matter. At all. You can be the best person in the world, or the worst person, and it doesn't really matter in the long run. The universe as a whole won't end up better or worse for it. Everybody you killed, or everybody you saved is going to die anyway, and people are going to forget your name. Less than 100 years ago the biggest celebrity in America was Aimee Semple McPherson. Does a single person here know who she is other than me?? No. In a thousand years, will it really fucking matter what she did or didn't do? Would it even matter if she existed or not?? What about Newton? In a billion years will the universe give a fuck if he did or did not ever exist??


In a hundred years. In a thousand years. In a million years, nobody is going to know who you were or give a motherfuck what you did. At heart you or I don't matter. That's the cop out of religion.

The "Goldilocks" zone for planetary habitation, (earth-like planets) probably contains millions, if not billions of planets.

And just because something happens doesn't imply god.

Bro, any statement about reality has the burden of proof. It doesn't matter if its worded positively as in "something is" or negatively as in "something isn't." By your logic, if I say 2 + 2 does not equal 4, I shouldn't have the burden of proving that because I stated it negatively? If no one has ever taught me or shown me proof that 2 + 2 equals 4, that mean I can make the absolute statement that 2 + 2 DOES NOT equal 4 and I'm immune to having to prove that claim on reality due to lack of proof of the contrary?

Why do Atheists have to disprove your beliefs and thoughts?

There is no evidence of a god, and therefore if you want to make up a god in your mind then fine, who cares. However once people start acting like it's a fact, then you have to prove it. I don't have to disprove YOUR imaginary friend, that would be ridiculous. If I ran around telling everyone I could fly, and when questioned answered "Well you can't prove I can't" everyone would laugh at the ridiculousness of it. When it comes to religion people act like this is a good argument, it's not it's ridiculous. It's your theory therefore it's your responsibility to prove it, not anyone else's to disprove it.

Secondly, just because something hasn't been proven to not exist does not mean that it does. If I say that the Hulk from the Marvel characters does exist, then as there is no evidence to suggest he doesn't does not prove that he does.

There is not a scrap of evidence that there is a god, none whatsoever. There is a staggering amount of evidence for evolution amongst other things that contradict lots of your beliefs. Why would you expect me to take the view of the people who provide no evidence?

AND evolution does not state we come from monkeys, it states we have a common ancestor with apes. If you thought that evolution stated we come from monkeys then perhaps you should reflect upon your knowledge on evolution and do some reading and then make your mind up on the theory. Many of you won't do that, you worry that it's blasphemy or just want to avoid something that might shatter your beliefs. Well as an Atheist I can read anything, holy scriptures or science and anything in between, when we draw our conclusions I can see the full picture whilst you subject yourself to only one small portion.

EDIT:
Those last two paragraphs aren't so much in reply to Noble, I realise he didn't state we evolved from monkeys etc.
