  Labeling one self "Atheist" is Unscientific

  by LAWHFol in

  2. beliefs

  i have not meet all atheists, and it would be foolish for me to assume that all atheists, share the same prototypical view points.

  i am inclined to feel that this classifies the views of a large percentage of atheists.

  "atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.

  Viv,

  I'm trying to work, please. You aren't helping any.

  Why I believe in God. Why I don't believe in God.

  by The Rebel in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  hi i am delighted to be apart of the community.. having left the witnesses one of my first challenges was my believe in god.

  naturally.. i have concluded that i am alive and conscious.

  now my intuition tells me god exists, but my analytical thinking tells me god does not exist.

  The Rebel,

  Take your time. Becoming an atheist was a decades long process for me, including when I was a Dub. There isn't any hurry. What I would tell you is important to do as soon as possible is to begin making your mind over so that you become as much of an empiricist as your personality will allow.

  Intuition has its place. It is also wrong a lot of times. No one ever brags about how their intuition was wrong; we only hear the successes. Rely on empirical data and develop an evidence based mindset for your decisions and you will almost certainly fare better in life. And, perhaps more importantly, you won't waste so much time and energy in useless emotional endeavors such as religion, god, what's up with girls, you know - those things which are impossible to actually understand.

  Good luck.

  Control,

  That's because you don't know Viv. To those of us who do (at least in the forum sense, not a personal or biblical sense - at least not yet), that comment makes perfect sense.

  I've enough cock for both of us.

  That sentence does not even make any sense.

  MAS370 - Was it a Remote Hijacking?

  by fulltimestudent in

  1. social
  2. current

  professor kevin barrett is not exactly the most trusted commentator you could find, but that, of course, just maybe because, there are people who want his views on 9/11 to be ignored.. anyway he's advanced a theory that the missing malaysian airlines plane was remotely hi-jacked.

  in the absence of other evidence, it just maybe what happened.

  to consider whether it did happen, we need to ask why it may have been hijacked?

  ts100,

  "Can" track and tracks are two completely different things. New satellites have the ability to maintain situational awareness of their coverage area (potentially thousands of miles in diameter) while at the same time having some ability to 'see' objects upon review.

  But to track individual objects to the degree necessary to follow a plane for example you have to first know what that object is and train the satellite on it in real time. With thousands of planes in the air at any one time, not to mention the boats, subs, ships, etc. the ability to closely track a single item, although improving, isn't there yet. And it is a certainty that the satellites are tracking Russian subs and such, not commercial airplanes.

  In other words, the current satellites probably have the ability to track a large area, with the ability to zoom in on selected areas after the fact, looking at recorded images. Getting better, but with limitations. So what the general said is technically correct, with some technological limitations at the moment.

  And prologos, I see you couldn't resist jumping in with the conspiracy theories. Close to Diego Garcia may be accurate as long as you are considering 2 - 3,000 miles as close. The only real data and evidence has come from satellite pings of the plane's final route. The anticipated ocean current flow, based on the Australian experts (people with PhDs - not an Internet account in mommy's basement) projected that, based on its projected crash site, parts of the plane were most likely to show up in Reunion Island or W. Africa about 1 1/2 years after the crash, which is exactly what has occurred.

  All of the conspiracy theories -and there have been many - have been to this point dispelled by actual data.

  Kate,

  Funny that you would cite Occam's razor. That's one of the reasons I'm an atheist.

  Hi Kate,

  Resistance is futile; you will be assimilated. Pink border, right?

  These two are adorable. I feel like Elliot talking about E.T. "I'm keeping them." They need to be the poster kids (young adults?) for ex-Dubs. Speaking tours. Dr. Phil. The View.

  FMF,

  "This is going to have a profound impact on theism in the future. I believe."

  Resistance is futile. They will be assimilated.

  Excellent summary. I've only been on the site for just over 2 years, but I've seen it evolve to being more rational and less religious/scripture. If it hadn't I would have left a long time ago (hold your applause, all of you wishing I had :-).
