Is how people deal with their death anxiety. It's the most retarded shit. No ones seen god in 1,000's of years and people want to dedicate and spend their time praising him

Agreed. Religion is the organized panic about death. Also a way of dealing with pointlessness of their lives, viewing this life as a test by some bearded sadistic tyrant for some other life.

who says they ever did?
biblical stories are so dumb, jonah (spelling?) and the whale? Fine if you want to talk morals from stuff like any type of story, but once you start believing a whale really ate somebody and spit them out to preach the word of god... then damn- you insane.

If someone believes in the tooth fairy who knows what other kind of retarded bullshit they believe in.

Well I'm sorry you don't see the hand of God in the world around you. The beautiful and ridiculously intricate way things are, how your life consists of a string of a trillion to one chance events that together completely rule out chance being truly objectively random..
You don't have to believe in God and you really don't have to praise God. Its fine as it is, me believing and you disbelieving and people insisting that either of our stances is great or sucks. Its a Whole, the totality of everything, and whether you call that God or Universe is a matter of personal taste. It's all good, love it ALL.
Now to convince the people of course, but even that is as it should be.

I personally can see something of the idea of "god" that may have set it all in motion, but nothing more. Existence was pure chance, if you were not born you wouldn't realize your existence, and the same thing if none of this worked out. Sure it was a slim chance of ever happening, but the same thing as hitting a power ball. The fact it did eventually is just expected, we just didn't get bored waiting for it because we didn't exist yet.

Do you believe that particles and combinations of particles can pop in and out of existence? That suddenly a Ferrari can plop into existence on your front lawn, with the keys in it an a million dollars in the trunk, owned by no one?
Or a live duck, out of thin air, and a hundred feet from it an anti-duck, them flying at each other with breathtaking speed and exploding so powerfully on impact that the entire city is destroyed, leaving absolutely nothing of themselves in this dimension?
No?
Because that is what quantum physics tells us is possible. Maybe a one in a googol shot, but it is science.
Its cold hard science fact that out of nowhere a bunny with a basket containing an egg can materialize, drop the egg and then vanish into thin air, on Easter Sunday.
So who exactly is the schizo?

Fine in theory, never going to hold up in court.
Physics is pretty damned crazy sometimes, but again-not god intervening, at best just something set forth originally and shit happens.

Does it really matter if you call the totality of everything God or Universe? As long as you don't attach dogma to its, its a matter of nomenclature.
You say tomayto, I say tomahto.
Its the same thing to me

Scientas Ad Absurdum - deliberately going for the most outrageous consequences of a theory while staying within its parameters, is a valid tool in exploring that theory.
After you die you will suddenly find yourself, your mind and body as it is today but without having been born there, on a planet where you are alone with a million naked hot chicks who all dig you, who materialized there a second before you did - and you will return there forever and ever.
That may not be "and you will dwell in the house of the Lord until the end of time" as Christans envision it, but its a scientifically inevitable outcome of the wedding of quantum mechanics and the scientific concept of eternity.

Depends on who you ask, Anon.
I will arrive at your hot girls planet and they will all flock to me leaving you sad and coping with a particularly itchy anal yeast infection while you can hear the hot girls giggle in the distance, forever and ever

Religion is a way to control people... enough said
God on the other hand I believe you have to find on your own, perhaps through Psychedelic substances (shrooms, dmt, mescaline, lsd, etc. etc.)

You can do religion on your own, just you and what you consider God. It's what I do, I don't try to convert people or have them do things my way, I just tell em what awesome fun I have doing it and what goes through my mind when I do, and some get curious and want to know more. I'm definitely not Pope material.

that's the most pathetic act of desperation i've seen in awhile. go ahead and join the club of those living in denial with the rest of the delusional schizos, you'll fit right in as the post above entails. Good luck living in the stone age. I don't really mean it though, I hope u get aids

The religious folk really make me laugh hard. Childbirth to most of them is a 'miracle', yet they don't consider the fact every second or so a new baby is born. Not to mention all the miscarriages and deformations that can occur. Yeah, some fucking miracle alright.

Y'all posting in a troll thread.

Typical atheists tho, I can't help but notice how poorly spelled and punctuated the replies are: "god dont exist cuz its stupid to belief in somthing wit no proof, haha dum religios people dont no shit". That pretty much sums up the average atheist, you do realize you are all fucking slaves? Atheism is yet just the next irrational fashion for the masses, and you are its unwitting pawns. Being atheist makes you no more cunning, wise, intelligent or insightful than anyone else - but somehow you [atheists] think it does. Funny that.
Atheism is a religion of closed-mindedness unto itself, any theory or idea that isn't provable by our *cough* modern *cough* technology and understandings is instantly knocked and harassed by so-called 'scientists', people with very sandy vaginas.
Sure, I admit there probably isn't such thing as God.. Sure, crystals probably won't give me magic powers. Sure, it is probably impossible to see the future. Sure, it is probably impossible to read someone elses mind. That is all quite true if we think about these things as 'super-natural' with our current scientific approaches, understandings and bias. The problem is, we simply do not know for sure - and that right there is probably the most solid fact of science [that we essentially know nothing]. And most of all, these things deemed as nothing more than artifacts of the mind, could actually be an entirely measurable and explainable force. Just like the Salem witches, at the time they were thought to be possessed, but now we know it was something entirely natural - but back in those days they had no way of even conceiving what we know now about ergot poisoning.
To prematurely label these things as nonsense and fiction simply because we, with our current methods can not measure or replicate these things in no way makes them not true, or impossible. After all, what really do we know of this world? How much of its workings and parameters can we actually contemplate at the moment? Look at our history of short-sightedness in the scientific community, scientists once scoffed at the proposal the earth was round - simply because we had no way of actually looking at our planet from that essential, other perspective. Do you not think the same principal is potentially the same with many things that are laughed at by our current scientific establishment? Do you not think these things that many believe in which are currently unexplainable, could actually be explainable once we have the tools and knowledge to measure them [if they are true]? Perhaps we will learn how to 'tap' into time or space one day, and realize it is in fact possible to see the future or see things happening far away. It may sound ridiculous now with our current knowledge, but so did the germ-theory in its day simply because they didn't have the technology to actually see and study the microbes.
I am not saying there is something greater out there, not at all - that would be very presumptuous, but so would saying there is not. We have taken a few baby steps so far, but there is still much further to go. To form strong public opinions now, with what little knowledge we have, could potentially be one of the greatest mistakes science will ever make.
