Society & Culture - 11 October 2006

It seems to be a running theme on this board that anyone religious, especially Christians, is stupid or uneducated. One of the main reasons for this is that most atheists refer to a lack of tangible and indisputable proof that God exists. There is an abundance of tangible proof in the same science text books that you use to disprove God, and as far as having indisputable proof; God gave us free will to choose whether or not to worship him. Giving absolute proof would pretty much make worshipping him the only option unless you wanted to go to hell for some odd reason. If someone brought you to a fork in a road and gave you absolute proof that one path would lead you to death and horrible pain, and the other led to peace and everlasting life, there wouldn't be much of a decision to make would there? God loves us enough to give us the ability to CHOOSE, even if that means not choosing him.

Did you ever have a paranormal experience?

Today on the sifi channel they ran a all day marathon of Ghost Hunters. It's nice to see that many haunted houses close to halloween. I have had several paranormal experience, from objects in my childhood home being thrown around in the house in the dead of the night to being in a paralized like state listing to voices speak to me in the dead of the night. Matter of fact that still happens to me once every six to twelve months. My question is has anything happen to any one else in the world?

At one point I thought Mormon was just a denomination of Christianity(like Baptist, United, etc.). Then I had someone tell me it is more like a cult. For curiosities sake, can someone give me the low down?

In response to one of my questions some one told me "Why will you trust philosophers? they cared nothing about your eternal destiny. they didn't give their life so that you could live." The question was about Atlantis and its impact on Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Who dose pondering the possibility of Atlantis' existance and its impact on the world if it were found have anything to do with the Christian view points on salvation? And also was not Jesus from a certain point of view a philosopher? I am a former Christian and mean no ofense to Christians or their beliefs by asking this question; I am just curious that is all.

Here is a link to the question:

Evolution ultimately implies a survival of the fittest paradigm.

Because evolution is true, we know that there is no universal code of religious morality and that humans simply act in their own self interest when push comes to shove (as the book lord of the flies illustrates).

Leftist idealogy is a qasi-religious view. Essentially, leftists, like Islamists or other utopian wackos dont account for any of the reality of the human condition in their political doctrines, they simply create more enemies or more demogoges to hate.

The suicidal aspect to leftist idealogy is the 'tryanny of the weakest" effect. Basically, the most pathetic and ignorant people in a community gravitate toward the waft of leftist sentimentalities.

Invariably the inertia of this rabble is always counter culture because, although it is "God" or "life" they really hate and cant cope with, it is the immediate environment they blame. This is why leftist apologize for savage islamists.

I'm talking about the end times, and its clearly stated what they thought was false now is reality as the Bible stated. OR, they stand in line to be judged by God, and its a reality to them as they see it before their very eyes, what would be their reaction?

It's true! I read it somewhere. I wrote it down, and then I read it. I believe EVERYTHING I read, as long as it makes promotes Islam and makes it seem powerful, amazing, true, popular, miraculous, etc, etc, etc.

How many of you believe me, and how many of you actually have a brain in your head that is capable of rational anaytical and critical thinking?

There was also a deluge described in both Greek 'mythology' and Christian stories, along with most of the world's ancient belief systems. So many similarities in the epic stories. Did they all come from the same source? Mankind has found many ways to get to the 'Divine'.

Any explanations for these coincidences?

It really Hurt my feelings cause i'm part Chinese and they know it. Now i really don't know what to do. It hurts

And I am told to do my research.

Ok, lets review some facts, here,

Dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago,

and humans evolved about 300,000 years ago.

The human being never lived at the same time as the Dinosaurs.
