Catalogue of arguments for the existence of God

Further...

Given Flimsier's stated socialist beliefs, how do you marry the two up? perhaps it is a thing you learn in the SWP? :)
 
i really don't understand that site.. are they taking the piss, did they start out with serious intention of listing stuff and then get deranged, did they put the wacky, weird and basically wrong stuff in to be 'cool', are they unaware of their imbecility? :confused:

oh and I don't understand what you are upset about stigmata? kropotkin gaves us an entertaining link and then questioned flimsier as to why he was signing up to something he(flimsier) didn't believe in :confused:

Religous people deserve all the abuse we can muster. It's not bigoted, it's a duty.

<sigh> that about sums it up for me for the attitudes about religion on here, in general. Speaks volumes.
 
Why do you think we should be kind and indulgent? Religion is irrational, illogical, stupid, divisive and just plain wrong... :)

while not being religious at all, and being perfectly happy to say that needing religion is a crutch for the masses, invented to keep the population in check. and that holy wars are two sets of people fighting about who has the best imaginary friend.

I also think that they are entitled to think what the hell or heaven they like. and people who think that you should abuse someone for thinking differently are muppets....

I've answered this time and time again.

I've moved to the right since leaving the SWP about years ago: part of that means that getting married is no longer a shibboleth.

It's so important to my partner that it has because very important to me.

So I'm buying into that institution.

Sorry about that.

325. ARGUMENT FROM AMERICA

1) God bless America.
2) You're either for us or you're against us.
3) Therefore, God exists.

We have a winner! :D



I'd like to add:

459. ARGUMENT FROM A WASP HATER
1) Wasps are evil, pointless beings which only purpose in life appears to be to torment humans.
2) Such a pointless, evil pest couldn't possibly be a creation or even accident of Nature
3) Therefore God must have created them
 
I don't critcise your decision to get married flimsier, just your decision to join a faith and get baptised. I refused to do this as it's disrespectful to my own beliefs and further, I would not be prepared to lie IE say I belive in god, reject satan and all his works and so on.

Do you belive in GOD? :)
 
Quote"Wasps are evil, pointless beings which only purpose in life appears to be to torment humans"

But wasps are cool and eat all the dead stuff thats lying about. :)

Therefore flimsier is wrong and there is no god. :D

I can't get married unless I get baptised.

No.
 
the PB Man argument :D -

ARGUMENT FROM WINDY, ANOREXIC RIGHT WING MOUTHPIECES

1) Ann Coulter believes in God -- so much so that she advocated killing the leaders of all Arab countries and forcibly converting the people who live in those countries to Christianity.
2) Coulter's latest book was #1 on the bestseller list for a while -- which, of course, proves that she's right about everything.
3) Therefore, God exists.
 
I'm getting married and to do so I need to get baptised.

I can only get baptised if god exists.

Therefore god exists.

Or something.

No.

if your C of E you can get married in a church and not be baptised, you just have to live in the parish - good old state and church being linked!
 
Think again

If you have kids you will already be primed to allow the church to indoctrinate them from day one. You should also think very carefully about committing yourself to someone who has such different belief systems to you.

I say this as one who is looking at the wreckage of a 17 year marriage... :eek:

Sorry. It's probably the bloody weather. My fuse gets shorter the hotter it gets. Although it gets a bit wearing seeing posters all over these boards slagging off things they can't be bothered to understand. I know I can't persuade other people to see things the way I do, but it doesn't stop me from getting frustrated. And incidentally, the American argument was quite funny, I thought. So there :p
 
ARGUMENT FROM GEORGE W. BUSH

1) That god won't hunt.
2) Y'all.
3) Ergo, um, axle of evil, ahh, claridify, umm, supportification, ah, pretzel.
3) Y'all.
4) What he said.
5) Therefore, God existifies.
2) Launch.

ARGUMENT FROM CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM

1) I like chocolate ice cream.
2) I opened my freezer, and behold, there was chocolate ice cream in it.
3) God is so nice with all his little attentions!
4) Therefore, God exist.
 
Is that like Catholicism but with beards and incense? :)

I don't mean to upset you flimsier, I know well how love can make it seem easy to compromise our values.

Whatever happens, good luck with the marriage... :)

Kisses!
xxxxxxx

Stop digging. It's getting worse.

After informing me that I will be 'primed to indoctrinate' (whatever the fuck you are talking about) you also have said that I should 'think again' about the woman I love.

And you know me? nope.
 
Perhaps you are unaware of the pressure that will be placed upon you if you have children, to have them baptised in the church. I do and faced it down. This would have been impossible to do if I had already been baptised myself.

Oh the fools that trip so lightly into the dark abyss... ;)

What, you know my partner now then?

:rolleyes:
 
TopCat ya twat, i went to catholic schools with shit loads of kids where we were 'indoctrinated' for OVER TEN YEARS!


do you wanna know how many of us are practicing catholics now?

to my knowledge, none.

being baptised and brought up in a religion is really no biggy. I know people who were bought up as muslims, jews, christians and hindus and it doesn't seem to have done any of them any harm, with the exception of one gay guy whose ultra catholic parents pushed him over the edge, psycologically speaking.

religion is a spent force in the west, a side show, a distraction. don't waste your energy rallying against it, it aint that important.
 
Disclaimer: each very much to his own, I say, christian or other religious faiths are not instrinsically bad, my mum and dad have always been christians and while I'm not, I think it's been generally positive in their case.

Having said that, I can't see myself getting married in church for anyone. If those things you're saying are important, shouldn't you really believe them? Making oaths before god would make me a liar before my friends.

I think I feel strongly about this because I went to church for years, for an easy life when I was growing up. I felt like a weak fool, a liar and a hypocrite, insulting the people who really did believe.
 
Hello.
Sorry, was away for the weekend and missed the rest of the thread.

Does anyone think that religious opinion and thought should be given respect, and not mocked? If so, why?


[ain't I a provocative scamp]

Oh, and Flimsier, Topcat didn't actually say anything that bad. He is right...it does show a lack of respect on behalf of your partner to require you to convert to her religion (and a massive amount of respect on your behalf- you're a bigger man than I).
 
Religious people have a lower incidence of mental illness, suicide and have a significantly shorter grieving time when bereaved.

Not that I'm religious.

Making so much effort to attack the underpinnings of someone's religion seems about as intelligent and purposeful as going out of your way to slag of someone elses interior decorating.
