I bet none of you can convince me to believe in God

[Dexter Sinister]

Good on you.

Yeah, good on you too. I am very much aware that every atom in my body heavier than lithium came from a star burst, and to that degree at least I am connected to the larger cosmos, but the mystical overlay people like you and gerryh want to put on it doesn't ring true to me. I respect both of you while profoundly disagreeing with you on certain things. Do me the same courtesy.

Be a good boy, Gerry.......................LOL

I thought this was going to be one of those "Fun" Threads. So, Uh....Siryphas, are
you convinced of anything beyond the preconceived ideas that you initiated the
Thread with? 8O

 

[Johnnny]

ah this thread isnt about me, i make the odd stupid statement but not those kind of stupid statements :lol:

Did you even bother to read my post Dexter? The essence of it was that there is no point arguing the issue via a forum. We lack the language, and the shared experience, to explain it adequately. I closed in saying that not having the same sense of things as I do is okay too.

You came back and told me that I am wrong.

What exactly justifies asking me for courtesy in respecting your view?

and what's worse...is the fact that you can not even see how demeaning you are being.

But that is fine, it just reinforces my original opinion of you being a pompous know-it-all.

Everyone has had their say now. Now can we can go back to just having some fun?

 

[Johnnny]

God is that warm feeling in your chest you feel after you do something right.... The devil is that uncertain feeling you get when you do something wrong. Thats how i see it

 

[s_lone]

If I define God by ''All that is'', then you don't have much choice to believe in God don't you?

The problem with this this thread and most threads on ''God'' is that the concept is poorly defined. God comes in as many versions as there are human beings on this planet.

Oh? was this posted in the Joke section? Nope, posted in the spirituality section as a prep for another good "God" bashing.

Like it says; I bet none of you here on CCN can get me to believe in God, but because I love a good heated argument, I want to see how convincing some of you can be, and who knows, i could even consider considering the consideration of believing.

This life is not about wasting time to convince you to do what I like. If you like a heated debate start a thread on Canadian or International politics.

Religion is a subject that is intertwined with tribal habits and thinking, thus one will turn blue in the face trying to convince some one who is deeply close to his or her tribe or ethnic group.

We can discuss religion, but the convincing part must stay out, agree to disagree makes a healthy democracy.

That's as good an explanation as any, Johnny.

 

[Johnnny]

hey thanks man, sometimes i manage to hit the nail straight, sometimes :lol:

 

[Cliffy]

I think if anybody is not convinced by Denis' well conceived and thought out posts is just not capable of believing in anything outside of themselves. I mean the guy post clips of Einstein. What more proof do you want? A visit from Mel Gibson? Geezuz, man, wake up!

Be a good boy, Gerry.......................LOL

That would take a Godly intervention 8O

aww come on Gerry and you are never demeaning ? :roll:

God told me that you believe.

Well guys, I was actually looking for a fight lastnight lol! but that's cool too...I think the majority of you made good points and I like the pics, I saved some onto my laptop:lol: As far as this thread went, it was nowhere near what I'd expected or planned, but again, good points y'all.....But I'm still a anti-theist
