The DUP were were protesting in Ballymena a few months ago when an Ann Summers shop opened. No **** gave a ****, the police had a great time laughin with the rest of us.
But we can disprove 99% of what his followers claim he did/does/can do, so surely that disproves his existence? It's also the standard position to disbelieve until we can prove otherwise. I ask you, do you believe in the Loch Ness Monster? Most don't, because there is no real evidence for it, yet these same rational people disregard all logic cos a peado in a dress lied to them. Madness. We don't have to prove his non-existence, believers need to prove his existence. See previous "Loch Ness Monster" comment, or "innocent until proven guilty", until you prove "God" created the world, he didn't, simple as that. According to the bible, every sexual act must be open to procreation; all contraception is bad. This is also their reason for the years of unashamed homophobia. Funny how they choose to listen to that, but not "judge not others lest ye be judged yourself", or even "Love Thy Neighbour". Because it doesn't, Mick. It's all a bunch of bullshit. If the teachings of any religion made sense and weren't full of hypocrisies we wouldn't be having this conversation. If they don't bombard you with this rubbish when you know no better, you will never believe it. Very interesting that you used the phrase "who created us?" and not "what created us?". Religious nutjobs keep throwing gems out there like "If god didn't create us, who did?". They don't like when you ask them how they know it's a "who" and not a "what". All a load of old balls if you ask me.
"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours." -- Stephen Roberts "You know your god is man-made when he hates all the same people you do"
70 per cent of Americans believe that aliens from other words visit the Earth in spaceships. 30 per cent of Americans believe they've been abducted by aliens. Go figure!
I speak to God. I go to Elvis Presley concerts. I write letters to Santa Claus. I talk World politics with Adolf Hitler. I write songs with John Lennon. I sold my milk teeth to the tooth fairies. People who believe in any sort of God need to grow up, accept the 'harsh' reality that there is nothing after you die and basically stop being pathetic wimps.
- It is not a case of accepting there is nothing after you die, it is a case of having the intellect to understand, that in the wider scheme of things, we know nothing. ****. ALL. Dismissing the notion of a higher power or ANY kind of "afterlife" is nonsensical, nobody has a ****ing clue. Sure with my betting head on I'd plump for your shortsighted nothingness, but only just.
There is NO evidence that God exists and until there is I will continue to live my life as a non-believer.
If your team is going into a game as underdogs after a bad run of form or you need to win lots of games, do you still have faith that despite the odds that they can still do it? Of course you do, despite the evidence, despite all logic you still believe. It's easy to crticise people who believe in God but some people need a crutch in their life or something that makes their life seem to have a purpose. These people can no more stop believing than we could start believing.
