No matter show strong an argument against God you can conduct, you're still unlikely to convert anyone. People don't believe in God because it is logical, so proving God is illogical is of little consequence. People believe because, above all else, they fear being alone both in...
The Simpsons a decade ago was both witty and revolutionary. Now its just a waste of time.
Pascals Wager was used as a proof for Religion, not against him, as Homers seems to be, but they indeed stem from the same set of principles.
I suppose it would be fair to say that under the assumption...
To save everybody the time of reading 12 pages of this thread, ill give a synopsis over what has been said so far:
-Strong Atheism states with [100%] certainty there is no God.
-Weak Atheism states with [<100%] uncertainty there is no God.
-Nothing in the universe is certain.
-Therefore...
I was hinting that perhaps you should give your opinion on the subject as opposed to playing the logical police, yeah? :D
The article itself is silly, because it is similar to a situation where I win the lottery and say "wow, the odds of that were one in [large number]", hence it must be...
Satanists see themselves as having a better religion than everyone else, just because they have the balls to say it out loud doesn't mean they are any worse than any other religions members. The agression and, as you put it, "elitism" comes from societies suspressions, misunderstandings...
In actuality, there are almost no religions in the modern world that literally worship a figure they see as "evil": i.e. The Devil. As I have mentioned previously, the Yzedis are one of the few that do: and they do so on rational which tends to make them logical (when viewed within their own...
But, at any moment a person can devoid themselves of all material posessions.
Im here for indulgence, a little prosperity, experiences and discovery. Each to their own, but thats me.
And this line of thinking leads to Christian leaders having a nice herd of sheep to lead. After all, Christianity has demonstrated itself so well to tolerate rebellion, right?
Absolutely pointless analogy. There is 0 proof for anything you or your church claims, hence, you have no logical groundings to state you are certain of your afterlife. Working around this basic fact is unavoidable, try as you might.
If you are too brainwashed by your own daily ritual to...
Have you ever been called thick? No? Well, now you have.
Try actually reading my post, which was in reference to condeming people for things they cannot help.
Perhaps the most significant difference between contrasting religions such as Satanism and Christianity is a conflicting world view.
On one hand, Satanism simply aims to "Survive in, not alter, its world", with acceptance of natural emotions of hate, lust, greed, envy, etc. One could...
If you are going to start killing people for reasons that the person in question is unable to control, how are you any better than someone who kills Jews/Blacks/Women/Homosexuals etc.
I would contemplate why I saved them in the first place. Doesn't a person have a right to choose when they die? Assuming they fully recovered, how is their life any better? It isnt. The problems that existed once will still exist.
Somehow everyone seems to think there is no such thing as a...
