not even. all i was saying is that whenever an argument gets ugly, it always seems that you start talking about how much money your arguing opponent makes.

No what happens is that this board is full of TROLLS!
If you look back at any thread which turns into a flame fest! You will see I was attacked first! It�s because I always point out when people are wrong
And most people can�t stand being wrong! ATHIESTS! For example!

They no they can�t prove god doesn�t exist! And if anyone disagrees with them they will start name calling...

THE DAWKIN porch monkeys are acting like I AM the only one in the world who disagrees with them and I am a moron for not doing so!
Last I heard over 4 billion people believed in god!!!

So I am a complete, uneducated moron because of this?? And by me saying that atheists cannot stand up and say for 100% there is no god and
Anyone who believes in one is just a 2 year old child waiting for Father Christmas!!

Barrack obama for example! Guess he is a complete moron, stupid idiot who doesn�t know anything about anything because he believes in god!
Or any other important intelligent person... I can name 10 top scientists who believe in god.. guess they are stupid right?
So when you get down to it...
Atheists think the world is stupid!!

So I really don�t see how we keep arguing!
And why is it that whenever a thread comes up about god! It gets high jacked by the Dawkin Dip Chits!! And then turned into a war!
And whenever anyone comes in to oppose their thoughts the name calling begins!!
Basically I am dealing with children!
Children who will not read between the lines! And not admit chit!!!

Let me tell you one more time so it gets through your thick skulls!!!

There is not enough evidence or lack of evidence to disprove or prove if god exists or doesn�t exist!!!
If you opened your eyes you would see this!! HEELLLLOOOO!!!!
Is it registering in your heads yet???
we all only personal opinions and thats all!! their is no right or wrong as of 2008!!!
That�s why we have 4 billion people believing in god!
And maybe 50 million people who are atheists!!

Im sorry guys but you can call me whatever you want!
FACT IS!! Their just is not enough evidence to claim victory!
So give up the only people who are making asses of themselves are you lot!
im just making an ass of myself by playing with you losers!!
Laughing
but you guys actually think their is no god when the evidence is not here!
hahahahhaha and you call christians idiots lol!!!

You have never read Darwin, Dawkins, or even the Bible. I know you've never read the Bible, or any secondary academic literature touching on the history and/or context in which it was written, or how christianity evolved over the centuries. You know f-k all about it. Sunday school (while probably the only schooling you ever received in your life) does not count.

All you are is an illiterate know-nothing, unworthy to participate in this discussion. Some others who are christians on here are not even a fraction as stupid or embarrassing as you. At least they (presumably) have read books and have an education.

You on the other hand are worthless human scum; a polluted, filthy puddle of ignoble plebeian slime, trickling insidiously into the stream of life, corrupting and debasing humanity. Your very existence slanders life and thus you deserve to be utterly and forever cleansed from the earth. So just shut up already.

Isn't he a business owner in itaewon? Odd, we're so below him and yet he comes here for companionship. The itaewon business community has ostracized him, maybe?

Itaewanguy,

If you take one thing away from this, please have it be that a period is far more effective than the exclamation point.

Unless you think that this makes a stronger point!


I count 45 exclamation points. But I probably missed a few.

Companionship??? No! I come here to get updates on current events!
You guys come on here to attack and name call!!
All your name calling, and arguing just shows you have no evidence to back your claims!! Mind me too; you and I have been through this before!
You can try to dazzle me with your science links! And theories! blar blar
Problem is K! The most important ingredient in your stew is missing!!

So why do you keep fighting it!?!! I thought you were smarter than that?
You trying to convince me without the most important piece of evidence !!
its like when christians try to convince you their is a god! without him!!
you guys really are no different!! call me stupid! call me illiterate!
call me what you want! but I know the evidence to missing and I dont need to read 10.000 books to tell you that!! becuase once that evidence is avaliable it will spread faster than AIDS through africa! it wont be hiding in some random book on page 238!
Didn�t take you as the kind to use religious tactics!

After you master punctuation, you may want to think about paragraphing. Then we can talk about books and what they mean.

Dawkins is a good man with a powerful argument. Disagree, please do: but on rational grounds. All you are doing is yelling, yelling, yelling. If you wish to be respected, tone down they emotionalism and open your mind a bit.

I don't think you looked at the links I set up about Russell's Tea Pot, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Do try to understand these points. They reveal something very important about reasoning that can be of use to use in many areas of life and thought.

But, I'm afraid that you are so busy yelling that you will have a very, very hard time learning this point.

Has it, for example, occured to you that an atheist's world view can be a beautiful and amazing one? More amazing that all of the miracles of religion?

That argument only exists because English (and some other languages) uses the same word for god (some type of spirit) as God (for lack of a better definition let's say 'a theoretical being that created the universe'), and because monotheists will often confuse the two as well. A pantheistic 'god' is as close to the other word 'God' as this bottle of water next to me is to the ocean. English confuses the two concepts though.

Maybe it's the fault of the original monotheists who thought it would be a good idea to use the same word the pantheists used to say something along the lines of 'hey, we're talking about the same thing you are when you talk about your river god and tree goods and all the rest; ours is just bigger and better'.

I agree that there is a problem by using the same word for the different ideas.

But the F.S.M. has more to do with the burden of proof. Someone makes a claim, it is their burden to prove it true before it is any skeptics burden to prove it wrong.

Jesus is the Only Begotten Son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Prove me that I'm wrong. You cannot. Therefore, my claim is rational. . .even on equal grounds with science. So, there is really no problem in giving equal time to teaching about Intelligent Design in the classroom, since the science clearly shows that there is intelligence at work in nature. Prove me wrong. I've got tradition on my side--except the spaghetti bit.

I repeat: you have never read Darwin, any secondary literature influenced by him, the bible, or any secondary literature influenced by it. You draw conclusions based on your cringeworthy ignorance, which is about a million times deeper than the rest of ours. In fact you are the single most ignorant person to ever post on this subject on daves. It's easy to see what a flake like you is all about and know what you know, but you lack even a fraction of the knowledge that I or others have. That's why you are a write-off, more deserving of a fatal kick to the kidneys than 'schooling'. You have no hope of ever escaping your ignorance, except by an early, merciful death.

You are a vile maggot in the bread of life. You need to be crushed into the dirt, stamped out, thoroughly extirpated and scoured from existence; any and all remnants of you forever annihilated by a great cleansing fire.

The word itself (something that flies, something made of spaghetti, something that is a monster) there is a description that makes it quantifiable. The word God (and here we're talking about your standard monotheistic God, not necessarily a Christian or Muslim or any other type so let's not change the subject to Christianity) means something along the lines of 'that which existed before the universe and time, and is beyond it'. Like I said, the two concepts are not even remotely related which is why FSM is a bit of a lazy argument. The only use I can see for it is when monotheists start to treat their religion as if it were pantheistic, that is, that their god helps them to win football games, helps them pay their taxes, and at the same time deserves to be gotten angry at when things go bad even though they were well aware of how the universe worked when things were going well. You know, the idea that God is a big fairy that helps you out when you're in a bind.

The FSM argument is about being logically able to claim something that can't be dis-proven as true. The FSM itself is just one example.
