Is there a god?

[Crycrycry]

this has always been a subject I wondered if there is a god even if there is a sadistic creator he is doing injustice I really hate him

[Shortman70]

Good question? There has to be some kind of Higher Power, as I call it. Is he sadistic? I don't think so. What he or she is I'm not sure. I believe that something guides us through our trials of life and tries to show us the way. Sometimes we're so caught up in the things goin on around us that we can not, will not or ignore the suggestions he would like for us to follow. Sure things happen in life that you don't like or even hate because of the pain. But that's an emotion that we have, we can control that. The other things we do not have control over. Life isn't easy, we just live the best life we can. We as people just need to slow down, quit reacting instantly, think, listen and follow what's in your heart and soul. Don't necessarily think about it being God, Jesus, Allah or Buddha, that's how I've learned to think in the last few years and it's helped me. I still don't know who or what is out there, I just know that something will guide me if I just listen. Good luck on your quest for the answer.

Nope.

I find it ironic that atheists believe in the most anti-scientific theory possible; everything from nothing.

The amount of faith you must have for that belief is staggering!

[Opinion Owner]

@SixFootSexy The difference is that I know this is just an idea, might be wrong and is subject to change based on new information.

Faith has nothing to do with it.

So, now that I have corrected your misunderstanding, will you agree never to never say or think this retarded shit again?

Or are you incapable of adjusting your thinking based on new information?

[SixFootSexy]

@guffrus I have considered a great many possibilities based on new information. We exist, we think, we design. We can recognize an arrowhead in a riverbed has intelligent design because it's not smooth like the other stones, but disregard or explain away intelligent design in the double helix structure of DNA?

I think you should not be so prideful to assume you possess even 1% of the knowledge in the universe. In order to gain understanding, one must be willing to accept that we really know nothing.

@SixFootSexy Just fuck off and die somewhere you retarded cunt.

[SixFootSexy]

Another tolerant atheist with the same dark mindset: “There is no god, and I hate him.”

Imagine if people got so angry about fairies or unicorns. The good news is, God still loves you. Have a good day.

[Opinion Owner]

@SixFootSexy I dont have any feelings what so ever for your imaginary friend.

I dont like you because you are a stupid lying piece of shit like many other theists.

You dont know what knowing things is and you arrogantly presume to be on the same level as, or above those who actually honestly try to understand the world.

You are a fucking degenerate.

[SixFootSexy]

Try again, your ad hominem attacks are not a convincing argument. You failed to point out a single lie.

Imagine thinking there is such a thing as moral high ground in a godless universe, or any meaning whatsoever. Even one of the most brilliant atheists acknowledged how unhinged his worldview became in his parable of the Madman: http://www.historyguide.org/europe/madman.html

No God = no right, no wrong, no fairness, nothing meaningful, all dies in the eventual heat death forever. The inescapable second law of thermodynamics. Sounds tragic to me in every way.

[Opinion Owner]

@SixFootSexy You lie to yourself.

Just because religion claims ownership of morality does not make it so.

Morality is an inate quality.

But you would already know this if you had bothered to review the supplied material.

[Opinion Owner]

@SixFootSexy The ad hominem isn't supposed to be an argument, it is me telling you to shut up and fuck off because you are a complete waste of time.

The long and the short of it is that you aren't ever going to get this because you have no interest in truth, you are a brainwashed puppet incapable of independent thought.

So just fuck off and die somewhere.

[Opinion Owner]

@SixFootSexy There is absolutely no fucking excuse what so ever for you to think and say the things you do, there is more than enough information out there and it isn't hidden.

What that means is that you are willfully ignorant, you want to be.

[SixFootSexy]

Nothing in nature proves morality is an innate quality. Killing the weak, if it is expedient for the survival of the fittest, is in fact the greatest good in nature. If you believe this, culling weak humans (ie. Eugenics) such as the Ku Klux Klan or the Nazi regime being completely justified in their use of power to expedite human evolution. In the name of science and progress, scientists, soldiers and politicians cannot commit immoral actions if there is no higher power than the State. Even in the Nuremberg trials, they were grasping at straws to find moral reasons why genocide was bad without divine authority or the intrinsic value of humanity. Had they not lost WWII, they would've never been punished. We would possess a *completely* different world we would live in today. They were the most faithful acolytes of social Darwinism and atheistic thinking.

"Moral justice is an illusion, a pipe dream of the pious, a fantasy of
the just, nothing more than a mere myth for the rest of us. It is a mirage
of civilized society, something we can envision but seldom receive, a
lure that is painfully alluring but ultimately ungraspable." -Thane Rosenbaum

@SixFootSexy Well as Christopher Hitches points out:

If you require the fear of a God to prevent you from doing wrong, if thats the only thing preventing you from raping and stealing from the people outside your door, then you are a psychopath.

I do not need any such guidance or control to know right from wrong or to dictate my behaviour.

You dont have anything.

Why dont you get this?

All your arguments I've heard them all before and they dont carry any more weight now than they ever did.

As I have said already, this information is widely available, the only reason you dont have it is because you refuse to acknowledge it, you lie to yourself.

You are ignorant because you want to be so why should i view or treat you with anything but the utter contempt which you deserve?

[SixFootSexy]

"If you require the fear of a God to prevent you from doing wrong, if that's the only thing preventing you from raping and stealing from the people outside your door, then you are a psychopath."
In order to make that claim, it requires an appeal to a moral authority. Or to assume psychopaths are immoral. Therefore it borrows from our culture's christian and natural laws. Assuming you have no authority to appeal to, (none given other than the State) as long as you aren't caught, it cannot be morally wrong to do any of those things, because humans are just clumps of cells from fetus-to-grave, via some embiggening.

A psychopath tested this theory in his own life and it lead him to belief (after serving time in prison for attempted murder):

@SixFootSexy Actually its simply a matter of what Stefan Molyneux would refer to as 'universally preferable behaviour'

I can prove that stealing is wrong because you dont want to have your things stolen.

Anarchism and the non aggression principle defines morality far better than any religion could ever hope to.

Your freedom ends where mine begins.

There is no supernatural requirement.

These are not complex ideas, it is obvious to every child, its not something which needs to be taught.

As i keep proving to you, you are a dangerously delusional moron.

So please, if you aren't going to learn then just fuck off and die somewhere because right now you are utterly fucking worthless, nothing you have to say has any value to it at all, its not new and its not correct.

[SixFootSexy]

We'll all die someday. If it's delusional for hoping to lead a life achieving more than being forgotten future worm food, then guilty as charged.

[Opinion Owner]

@SixFootSexy You fucking cunts are always such slippery slimey fucking assholes, stop trying to wriggle your way out of this and face the truth like a man you fucking coward.

You are delusional because you refuse to accept that there is absolutely no fucking evidence what so ever for any Gods, NONE.

ALL of your arguments are total bullshit.

[Opinion Owner]

You claim to have access to information which is UNKNOWABLE.

None of us know what is outside of our universe and none of us know how it started.

If all you wanted to do was say that you think it was a supernatural entity which started it all off, I would have no issue with that at all BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT YOU DO, you presume to know the mind of this entity and seek to impose your own human will on those around you claiming to have the backing of an infallible God which makes you right and justifies any action you should choose to take.

You are a dangerously deluded psychopathic asshole.

[CountessSarah]

There is not. If there was theists wouldn't struggle so desperately in discussions using flimsy personal testimony, threats and general dishonesty.
There is no question about the world around you that is answered in a way that is intellectually satisfactory by shoving a god in. If you want to know about the origin of the universe, life, morality or mortality, appealing to a god is never an answer, it's a way of avoiding having to admit you don't know as much as you wish you did.

[Exxon]

I swear I ask that question every single day to myself.. and Nobody knows the answer, I guess we've got to wait, Since eventually we shall see the answer once we die.

[jshm2]

Yes, but little wannabe quirkies like you need to finish school and live a bit of life first, before pondering big subjects.

Hate your parents and lack of focus, kiddo.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I believe in some ways I believe in God, I always go through the Father and to Jesus and pray that way I just hope someone hears my prayers and I'm not here to preach cause I could be totally wrong

[King_Dive]

Almost definitely not, but good luck to anyone that feels like they can prove it either way

[888theGreat]

Again another stupid 16 year old. There is and you are in danger of Hell. Satan and people are to blame for bad things not God

[Anonymous]

He’s not real

that’s what people tell themselves to help them sleep at night

[LegendaryIcon]

If there is--he/she lets a lot of bad things happen in the world

[Agape93]

There's hundreds of thousands of deities

Waste time hating what doesn't exist if you wish.

There is no god, never was.

Gotta learn to laugh it off.

[TheSpaceGnome]

Nope, no such thing.
