Words of great wisdom have been spoken!

That's all swell, but do you believe in the prophecy?

I didn't know Tai is a materialist...

whats a materialist?

Materialists believe that Human Beings are just machines. We humans and machines are distinguishable only by the level of complexity.

There's no Mind, no Soul, nothing immaterial in us, and we are only complex physical organism.

why is it you think we follow God blindly? We have free will. We don't have to stay Christian just because others are. And we can think for ourselves a lot better than you can think. Some of the greatest scientists were Christian. Galileo, Darwin, Copernicus, etc.

i believe the same thing more or less as tai

a material

Not quite a materialist as you might think. Ergo the universe being a "hologram" to an extent, potentionally even as radical as two dimensional as I've heard, I'm willing to believe we're not really waht we appear to be, and there's a more definitive existance behind it. But we won't really know that until we get there, if it's there at all.

To be honest, you'd be better off believing in a god. Why? You'd probably be happier.

To have faith means you dont need and evidence but anyways i believe there is something out there. I dont know if i believe all of the Jesus and Bible stuff but i just believe something created the universe... something...

There is no way of actually getting 'real proof' or 'actual evidence'

Faith is the only real thing that you can go on. But, even if you don't believe in god, or anything superior to us, then ask yourself, How did we get here? There has to be something bigger than us that created us. I'm not saying that god had made each one of us, or that he even watches us now. But something had to have created us. Aliens, God, whatever it may be, there is something greater than us.

No matter how far you can trace back history there will be evidence that something had to get the 'ball' rolling. Even if there was a spec of a molecule in the middle of the universe, it didn't just appear out of time. SOMETHING HAD TO PUT IT THERE, Thats why i believe atheists are 'dim-witted'

Well...you can say the same thing about whatever it was that put us here. How did it come into existance?...is their something bigger than it. It could go in an endless cycle like that...it's inexplainable....but atheists give just as much logical explanation as the believers...no one can prove anything.

really? id think i was seeing pink elephants

that makes no sense
virtually all people.. unless under the influence or having a couple screws loose.. have some reason that they hold as evidence to think something is true

atheism is really nothing more than a religion for which the "supreme being" is designated as nothing or nonexistant.. just replace the "supreme being" or "higher existence" with "nothing" and youve got atheism

how is the explanation "logical".. its self contradictory if anything
claiming that there is no "supreme being" because there is no solid "proof".. yet they have even less "proof" themselves

Your the one that just made no sense. Come on, tell me some of those evidence that will look like
"I didnt had a meal in days and there he was! Jesus! Riding Santa sleig! After my joyful moment he threw me a bread and said enjoy."

hey this is kinda off topic and dumb but does anyone know whats the difference between like catholic and christian and like whats the difference of all those different types like methodist,bapist,protestent(not sure how to spell)?

yea...seriously that made no sense

Warning, off-topic: Iceman, send me a private message and I will tell you the difference.

On-topic: I think it would take a divine intervention to make an Atheist a Christian or god-believer...or several hundred bigotted Jack Chick tracts XD

No... it would take what you refer to as "Divine Intervention"... unless I was personally confronted with "God" and he gave me proof of "his" existence, I will not accept that there is a "God."

you'd be surprised at the amount of people who never see or meet God and yet God's divine intervention happens to be a friend or an aquaintance.

Yes, it is often refered to as *delusion*
