it's 2015. isn't it about time man stopped believing in all of this illogical and superstitious nonsense i.e.
belief in god?.
isn't it time we grew up?.

Magnificent posts!!
I grew up in the 60s - make love, not war and all that.
I grew up in the 60s - ban the bomb and all that.
I grew up in the 60s - flower power and all that.
I grew up in the 60s - and challenged the establishment.
I grew up in the 60s - compare the music that existed before that era with the music that existed at the end of the 60s.
I grew up in the 60s - we created a movement that we hoped would lead to a better life.
I grew up in the 60s - we expected those that followed to continue the good work.
Well, we can all expect.
We didn't put all that effort in to sell out to a set of mindless/mind numbing Jovies ffs that tell you what to think, how to think, when to think and when not to think (which, as far as I can gather, is actually most of the time).
Sounds like Fulano understands my sentiment.

Let's just keep it simple for the time being.
So you give a woman a pleasure beach and where do you put it? Right next to the sewage works !! That isn't exactly what I call intelligent design. Is that what you call it? To me, it smacks of evolution. It's functional, it works, but that's about all.
I suspect that if god were awarded marks out of 10 for that "effort" you guys wouldn't award him a lot.
What about DNA, the very stuff of life?
The fact that it's a head-to-tail double helix is really quite interesting and, if I may say so, even aesthetically pleasing. However, its mere complexity causes it to mutate and give rise to cancer. Now that, god, isn't smart nor is it intelligent design, is it?

A fertilised human egg can implant in the fallopian tube, cervix or ovary rather than in the uterus causing certain death if not treated promptly by modern medicine. Now that, god, isn't smart nor is it intelligent design, is it?

The pharynx is used for the passage of both air and food, greatly increasing the risk of choking. Now that, god, isn't smart nor is it intelligent design, is it?
I suspect that if god were awarded marks out of 10 for that "effort" you guys wouldn't award him a lot.
I could go on but won't bother.
The human body works. Well, it kind of sort of works. It's functional. But, when it comes to being designed intelligently, I don't think so. Anyone who thinks so has shit for brains.

Freemindfade: some day mankind will look back and realize the dark ages stretched on in ways much longer than originally stated. When such a large part of the population still believed in fairy tales and tortured mamed killed and suppressed for them.
Never a truer word spoken.
i have posted questions on christian web sites.
those questions have always been polite and i have never used questionable language.
the questions weren't exactly in support of christians though.. what did i get for my efforts?.

You are quite correct - got to be a bit careful where Islam is concerned. However, they don't come knocking on my door, disturbing my peace, getting in my face and upsetting my digestive juices at the most inconvenient time possible trying to get me to convert from atheism to gross stupidity and ignorance.
we were just some guys who were down on their luck.
we needed some cash, so we just wrote a book..
we all knew mary, so we gave her a part.
We were just some guys who were down on their luck
We needed some cash, so we just wrote a book.
We all ‘knew’ Mary, so we gave her a part
She was far from a virgin, just some skinny tart.
We said she gave birth in a stable one night
Seriously though, who’d believe all this shite?
Her baby then had a visit from kings,
People believe the strangest of things.
An angel in the stable provided some light,
Whilst catholic priests phooked their flocks by night.
We thought a crucifixion would make people sad,
Essentially it’s a story about this bloke and his dad.
So we went to publishers and showed them the score
But most of the barstards just showed us the door.
But one in particular liked it and said
This book’s a winner, it’ll keep us well fed.
It’s an interesting story, it’s got a good plot
But I have to say, that believable it’s not.
This jesus bloke seems slightly insane
I don’t like his handle, but what’s in a name?
Ah, I see, he was killed on a cross
That’s no big deal, who gives a toss.
Some parts are sad, some parts are funny
This book, my dears, will make lots of money.
The first run of the book, sold in double-quick time
The people were queuing with no end to the line.
It made lots of money, the good life we tasted
We spent some money on whores and the rest we just wasted.
We had slaves and servants and graces and airs,
We didn’t give a toss, we were millionaires
We printed yet more books but they kept selling out,
We had no time left for just pissing about.
Then someone said, ‘I don’t give a phuck’,
‘I wish we’d not written this bleedin’ book’.
We were so pissed off with the damned fateful tome
That we switched off the presses and all phucked off home.
(And that’s when all the problems started)
I was at home screwing some whore,
When all sorts of people knocked on the door.
There were men dressed like women and looking right knobs,
They called themselves priest, they all wanted jobs.
The book tried to thrill, it tried to impress,
But how can you take seriously a man in a dress?
There were people cheering and running amok,
The phuckers were queuing right round the block.
When I first found out, I cared not one wit,
When I realised that people had swallowed our shit.
It was only a joke, this wasn’t planned,
We’d really phucked up, it’s got out of hand.
I told them Jesus of Nazareth, he doesn’t exist
We just made him up one night we got pissed
It’s a story about some knob-headed bloke
You’ve got to believe us, it was only a joke.
None of it’s real, we were taking the piss,
You can’t feed five thousand with five loaves and two fish!
The next thing we knew, we were in jail,
We’d been sentenced to hang and no chance of bail.
Were we to be punished for the shit in the book?
No. We were found guilty of some blasphemy phuck.
Please oh god, please make them desist,
Oh shit, just remembered, you don’t exist.
a few weeks ago, these two jovies turned up on my doorstep.
being in a good mood that particular day, i told them that if they could prove that god existed, i'd become a jovie - and i meant every word.. they gave me two documents which they asked me read and told me that they'd be back in a week.
the first was called "was life created?

You are correct. The existence of god cannot be disproved but belief can be eroded bit by bit and science and research can reduce the probability that god exists.
Let's go back say 1,000 years. Science didn't really exist then. To say that the universe was created by god was a perfectly reasonable thing to believe back in those days. It wasn't as if any better theories existed then. NO other theories existed. Hell, even I would have believed in god back than. Back then, most people would have placed the probability that god existed at very close to 100%, if not at the magic figure itself.
We are now 1,000 years on. We now have science. We don't just have one theory of how the universe came into being, we have a number of them. Not one of them contravenes the laws of physics and not one of them requires the intervention of a sky wizard. For me, the probability of god existing is as close to zero as makes no difference. Each year that belief in god is measured in Europe, the percentage decreases. I believe that it stands at about 60% currently, but it's falling fast.
So, we may not need to disprove the existence of god for belief to dwindle to zero.
Dawkins once said that we could see belief in god completely disappear within the space of a generation. Hell, I'll drink to that (and I don't drink).
shit!
it finally happened.. years ago i speculated on this happening but can't find the posts.
anyway, this is a tactically aggressive move by wt.
Don't ya just love christards?
First they say that both god and they love you.
THEN, when you tell them that you don't believe what they believe, they call you the antichrist.
What does that tell ya?

JWDaughter - yes, there's an actual pub involved - to create the right relaxed atmosphere and I don't drink either.
Those who suggested JWTalk, thanks. I'll pay them a visit and get back to you with a report - in triplicate if necessary (Old skool, I know but there ya go).

Hi guys
Thanks for your comments. I've never felt at home quite so quickly as I have on this 'ere forum.
I'm from the UK but have lived in many places throughout the world.
Steve2 asked what a Doltologist is. Well, a Dolt is a fool or a simpleton and a Doltologist is someone who studies them. So, basically, I study anyone who has a religion. Why? Well, I'm a member of Skeptics in the Pub. (no, we really do exist). We look at anything that takes our interest that relies on dogma, BS etc,. that either has no proof or proof that stands up in a court of law. My two main areas of interest are religion and so-called psychics. I just love arguing with religtards which I use as chew sticks. I find it fascinating just how much shit religtards can swallow. Does religin affect the gag reflex, one wonders? My area of special scientific interest is katlickers. I fail to see how a church where paedophilia is almost compulsory is so popular?
If anyone can direct me to a hard-core Jovie site, then I'm up for it. That said, I've been disappointed with the Jovies that I've met so far because they just ain't got the knowledge in depth and width that I expected them to have.
I'd expect a hard-core Jovie to be familiar with Hitchens, Dawkins, Krauss, CERN, MIT, M-theory and Carrier at least because those are the areas where they are vulnerable and likely to get hit really hard. But, no.
What surprises me is that science is closing in on riligin, and christardry in particular, at a rate of knots. The game may not be up - but the battle lines have been drawn and people are beginning to dig in, and lock and load. The next few years are gonna see more changes in riligin than have taken place in its entire history.
I'll give ya an example. It seems to me that Carrier, especially, puts forward a very strong case that jesus never existed and was actually a mythical figure that existed long before jesus of nazareth and dwelt in the heavens and had fights about good and evil with the devil in outer space just below the moon. For those not familiar with his work, I suggest you kop a look on Youtube and maybe read some of his books.
