Old: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4008270;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread ...and it was funny chit back then too!! As max alluded to in the old thread...I found it both amusing and quite sad actually. Any condescending tit can sound funny when talking with that ghastly offshoot of received pronunciation : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEJ63LRDADY&feature=related Nah, you're just sore because this guy funny and his jokes hit too close to home for you. You'll eventually learn how to take a joke.(Maybe) "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings."

Very funny chit!! "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

"So...first .we invent a god, ok? Then, we convince everyone that they've pissed him off. Then, we convince them that there is a price to pay...that they owe something....or the boogie man...I mean satan, is going to get them if they don't pay."

Self-Reported Gun Ownership in U.S. Is Highest Since 1993

You don't seem to have the same disdain for all the athiests and the religious threads they start. It's very seldom you see Jay, Ron, Max, myself or any other person of faith start a religios thread...we don't need to... You're welcome! -
Well, there's the first misconception. ...and there's a second one. The primary misconception is that god exists. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

Satan isn't even close to being your biggest problem right now. God is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxhxKdnjGA8 Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down That's a great song! Been one of my favorites of his since it came out. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings."

Better be right... Or Satan will get you like he did Anne Frank and Ghandi!! "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

Ya, because when all the religious people are all gone, God knows that all the Stalins, and all the Jim Joneses, and all the Mussolinies, and all Ze Dongs and all the Alfred Kinseys and all the Tamil Tigers of the world will just live happily ever after.... Give it a rest Babin. Eh? Freudian slip. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings."

Most Tandem jumps in one day by a single instructor

Those amphetamines were pretty good, weren't they? I actually think the easier day was easier because it was later in the season. The hard day was early in the season and I wasn't in as good physical condition after the off-season. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings."

Probably. Email 'em to me. Glad you're posting again! "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

How did you arrive at the conclusion that there is no god? Was it a sudden thing or was it a slow process? How was it recieved by those closest to you? Thanks in advance for sharing...

Christians - how do you rationalise your belief?

Twice I did 15 in a day out of a 182. One day I was beat, and one day it felt like I could have done 15 more. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up." -

I enjoyed reading that. Thanks, Lurch. That was refreshing. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up." -

Give it a rest Babin. I thought it was your turn to take a rest... "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings."

I think that a strict seperation of church and state is a good idea.(everywhere) "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

Answered in the very next line, which you quoted: "...the exercise is meant to coax them closer to reality for all our benefit" I've done this many times. Belief in imaginary gods hurts us all. There are several examples in the attachment I'll include for your benefit. We'd be farther along as a society if we would ditch the fantasy of religion. See above. It's important to me. The analogy is heroin and heroin addicts. Would you deny them recreatiional use of something that brings them so much comfort? That's how hateful it is. I'm glad we found something we can agree on!!

Asking proof for the existence of God has indeed gotten very old, or to be more precise, claiming that God exists without providing proof of that claim has gotten very old. That the request "Prove to me that God exists" has been repeated ad nauseam & ad infinitum through the centuries, doesn't make the request any less valid. And since you don't strike me as a complete idiot, you know this. In case I'm mistaken, a little cartoon to clarify things a bit: http://godlesspaladin.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/logic.jpg?w=500&h=519 "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."

I've had a flu shot every year for the last several years, at the urging of my doctors. (I started building a new immune system in 2007) Sometimes I have "flu like symptoms" for 2-3 days afterwards. Some years it's worse than others. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up."
-
You STILL off on that "proof" idiocy? For God's sake, man, WAKE UP! It's embarrassing! As long as the "true believers" claim their myth is real I'll continue asking for proof. (Yes, it's understood that there is no proof, or even mere evidence for that matter...the exercise is meant to coax them closer to reality for all our benefit.) You don't like it...Oh well.

Right..and if god was real it wouldn't require faith to believe in him. "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up." -

I never heard of him. Certainly, no one except you talks about him anymore. On the other hand, Jesus is well known and talked about to this day. Inevitably, Jesus will also be nothing more than a footnote in the history books....just like all the other gods, and the world will be better off for it. Ron may not realize it, but he is almost an Atheist too, we we just believe in one less god that he does. I'm not sure who said it, but I always liked the quote; "When you understand why you dismiss all of the other possible Gods, only then will you understand why I dismiss yours" No! Not THEIR god! Their god is different! "Science, logic and reason will fly you to the moon. Religion will fly you into buildings." "Because figuring things out is always better than making shit up." -
