When you look at a sunset, can you see the magnificence? Or do you just see light refracting off the atmosphere at a certain angle combined with water particulates in the air?

This, but despite my lack of belief in a god, I can still see the beauty in things like this.Originally Posted by Echonova
Blank cd- what beauty is there in life for one who believes their entire existence is without purpose, with out meaning, without inspiration? What beauty is there in such a short life span? The world is not pretty and life is not a fairy tale. Life is hard and full of disappointment. It is full of death and sorrow. Sure there are some good things to life....but in the end....to an atheist....it is all for nothing. You are born, you live ( either successful or not), maybe have some children and hope to leave them something behind. That to me, is empty. To me God is life, light, direction, peace and hope. This thread and the couple like it recently have really made me take a second glance at my own life, my own beliefs, and my own purpose. I now know i have been lacking...that i have much to catch up on. I truly hope blank that some day you too can come to see life how I and so many others see it.

you definitely have the wrong idea about being atheist. This stereotype is the reason we're still the most hated group of people in the world, despite being the happiest group of people in the world.

We have warriors, but they look more like this

Guys with nice suits and intellectual prowess
Im sorry , you have proof of god but still refute it
I would try to outsmart god with google too
You still haven't shown me that proof bro, my challenge is still on the table
You should ask those guys what they think about a book written 100's of years ago about a man who will be born with a slight concavity while simultaneously a double solar eclipse happens
See what they say
They will look like this in hell
According to your holy book, you'll have a nice warm spot just for you right next to them. LolThey will look like this in hell
Ha, if only you were informed
I know exactly what they think about the Quran and the Holy Bible. I've heard both of them speak.
So you think it says differently. Have you read the Quran, or the bible? I know they candy coat it pretty good, but you're going to hell. Hate to be the bearer of bad news.
Why dont you give the whole book a good read. Just once.
The bearer of bad news? of course you know more than me and god combined, shit you control it because you can use google
Ive read the quran 4 times, only read the revelations of the bible
how does the quran know neurology before you knew what neurology was?
You must not know what i mean by slight concavity, mr bearer of bad news
God has said in the Quran about one of the evil unbelievers who forbade the Prophet Muhammad from praying at the Kaaba:
No! If he does not stop, We will take him by the naseyah (front of the head), a lying, sinful naseyah (front of the head)! (Quran, 96:15-16)
So, this area of the cerebrum is responsible for planning, motivating, and initiating good and sinful behavior and is responsible for the telling of lies and the speaking of truth
A neuroscientist would disagree with you
Im pretty sure a neuroscientist wrote that
I mean, there are people that have dedicated their entire lives to studying that book... When all they had to do is skip to the end????
Wait, wut??? You do know the Bible isn't one of those books you can just skip to the end and read the last few pages right?
lol...
Your ignorance is not funny.
I read some other parts, there are flaws so i only read the end
Benefit- So the Bible has flaws but the Quran does not?
Blank cd- your views on this? http://blog.beliefnet.com/scienceand...-disaster.html
Apparently there is some division even in the atheist camp.....is there gonna be a seperation of denominations now?

Not a single dot of the quran was ever changed
Oxygen + gravity, you cant see it , it does not EXIST!
I cannot comprehend stupidity on this level.
Let's just accept your statement as being true... What does that prove? So what if it's never been changed? How does that make it right or wrong?
And your other statement about oxygen and gravity, I know you thought you were being clever.
You weren't.
I could debate with you with great length about the quran....im guessing youre muslim?Not a single dot of the quran was ever changed

Its ok, you are going to heaven man, i am not going to debate it
and i love how you call someone stupid then agree with them, adding stupid images to emphasize your statement, real mature
if you had a little clue, probably wouldnt be talking to me
keep face palm'ing your saggy jaw
I believe in God, but the concept of organized religion is fucking dumb, and there isn't a single thing anyone could ever say to convince me otherwise. Creationism and evolution can work together....a creator laid the foundation, and the devil magic we know as scientific laws took over and gave us what we have today. Seems really simple to understand in my opinion.
dumb or not, organized religion is no different that organized government, or this forum full of organized car enthusiasts. You are entitled to your opinion, but lets not be blind to the fact that we ALL subscribe to a collective thought in some sense. You either go to work, pay your bills, pay your taxes, vote for your politician, or drive your favorite care make. We ALL do it.
Just like some people in organized religion forget that their faith is grounded in something (their book or their experiences) people in politics, people on this forum, people at your job, will forget that what they are there for is somethings specific. That doesn't mean that gov't is bad, it doesn't mean this forum is bad, it doesn't mean the concept is dumb, it means the people who are forgetting and misguiding the purpose for such things are.
I believe the Bible. I believe that most of us, myself included, can find ourselves missing the point most of the time. I would shutter at the thought of trying to explain to God that "I did it right and those other people didn't". My organized religious belief is what tells me to not rush to judge because I am just as guilty of that as the next guy.
"Their [the new atheists] treatment of the religious viewpoint is pathetic to the point of non-being. Richard Dawkins in The God Delusion would fail any introductory philosophy or religion course. Proudly he criticizes that whereof he knows nothing... I am indignant at the poor quality of the argumentation in Dawkins, Dennett, Hitchens, and all of the others in that group."
~Michael Ruse, atheist & author and philosopher of biology at Florida State University

^^^I agree with this guy
I'm also one than has no problems accepting the laws of science and existence of God. Science to me does not disprove God but explains the means. An all powerful creator and designer will also have the intelligence to create a universe that works the way ours does. Darwin and God just work for me. I do agree with one of the posters above about organized religion. While I attend a Baptist Church it's also one that reflects my belief that church is not required but is a great tool when used correctly.
