Another fucking bible basher. I'm close minded for not believing in an 1800 year old text that was writeen purely as a means for the Roman Empire to control the midle east, to stave off rebellion, to neuter the Jewish faith, years after the 'fact' happened?
Jesus? He was an actual historical figure, but nothing more than a pagan heretic, a mouthy rebel jew, at best.
I believe in reality, in science, in logic, in humanity, in all the things the majority of this world believe in.
Not magic, not miracles, not dogma, not being told what to do in the guise of 'faith'.
Tell me, Mother Theresa, taking from that post you are a committed christian, so are al other religions wrong too? Islam, Hindu, Jewish, Buddhists, are they al wrong because they dont believe in what you believe?
Therein lies one of the many hypocrisies.
I'm not Mother Theresa. I'm very far from it. I know that man has fallibilities while you seem to think that man is supreme. You're the one with the God complex, not me.
I chuckle at your inordinate amount of faith in science considering that science has been proven no more right than the bible.
Your comments about the church and Jesus and the bible are extremely humorous as well. I take it that you stumbled upon some enlightenment that has "proven" your theories? If not, they are no more valid than those of a religious person.
And yes, I believe the other religions are wrong. If I believed they were right, then I would belong to them.
The only people we should try to get even with...
...are those who've helped us.
Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
They should get experts to give lectures in high schools about what will happen on the job market in the near future. First comprehensive lessons about the future of the economy i heard in university when i had already decided my future career. They should talk about this when the decisions about the future are made not afterwards.
It's the same with sex and drugs education,many kids have already smoked pot and had some kind of a sexual experience when they are educated about the issues at home or school.
Kids sitting in front of the computer realize that they can make web pages and graphics easily and think they can make a career out of it without realizing that they can use the same talent in some other job that actually can earn them a living.
And of course having children isn't a burden but modern women also want to work and they have ambitions to show their skills outside home too so the number of children in a modern family is much lower than before. They haven't stopped having babies but aren't having as many as before.
My mom has 8 siblings and dad 7 but i'm an only child and only a few of my friends has more than 2-3 siblings.
After the war when men returned home there was a big baby boom here for years so it has made the population growth uneven.
I believe in love, hate, good, evil, I believe in man, I believe in the earth, I believe in all that I can see, all that I feel. I dont need a false belief to get me through a life that is hard enough already. I only need me.
In other words, you are extremely close minded and only mentally able to grasp the concrete things you have personally experienced.
Firstly, love, hate, good and evil are not concrete things. Secondly, you call someone extremely close minded, but you just called everyone who is not a Christian wrong. Talk about an open mind.
the belief in a "greater power" is a weakness... fable's and fantasy's that are blindly accepted as truth by weak human beings... it is OK because i am weak too in my own way...
i see faith in a higher power as humans way of supporting its belief that we are advanced... we cannot imagine that we evolved from lower beings...our arrogance makes us believe that we are created by an "all-mighty god" to justify our arrogant view of ourself and our place in the world/universe
this subject can be very deep and causes me to drift off into hours of contemplation... so i do thank organized religion for that
ps... who doesnt know the catholic religion is a COMPLETE FRAUD?
You are no better than the 'bible beaters' you profess to hate and to be so much smarter then.
Anyhow, I think that Europe grim prospects can be summed up much better in their unemployment rates than whether or not they believe in a god.

i believe in a greater power and evolution. can your mind wrap itself around that contradiction? dont go confusing all faith or belief in higher powers with Catholic doctrine.

See - I see it far more arrogant to believe that humans are the supreme being.

Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.
You can't prove anything in the Bible. You can prove science.
Give me one example of something that science has proven beyond any shadow of a doubt? There is none. All they can do is observe and recognize patterns based upon limited human experience. Tomorrow, new information could be presented that renders their theories incorrect. A scientist would never profess that something has been completely proven.
Firstly, love, hate, good and evil are not concrete things. Secondly, you call someone extremely close minded, but you just called everyone who is not a Christian wrong. Talk about an open mind.
No - I didn't say they were wrong. I said I BELIEVED that their beliefs are wrong. I left it open to the possibility that if something changed and I then believed they were correct, I would convert.

I believe in evolution as well. You cannot look at the species of this earth and deny that evolution occurs. The question is whether something is in control of it or not.

i have never claimed to be "better" than anyone... and i certainly never said i "hated" any bible beaters?... and i have never claimed to be "smarter" than anyone or anything so please stop putting words in my mouth. Thank You
i said that a belief in a "higher being" or "God" is a weakness... i also admitted to have many weaknesses myself... i am capable of self-reflection
this is why religion is a subject i do not discuss, because people over-react
There is a Marker,
No one sees it cause of sand
That has covered over
All the messages it kept
From misunderstanding,
What Original Truth was
And now expanding
In a faith, but not in love...
What went wrong?
Walking tightrope high
Over moral ground.
Seeing visions of
Falling up somehow.
Oh do come down
With the living, let
What is living love.
So unforgiving, yet
Needing forgiveness first...
God, what do you say?
Those undecided
Needn't have faith to be free.
And those misguided,
There was a plan for them to be...
Now you got both sides
Claiming 'killing in god's name'.
But god is nowhere
To be found, conveniently...
What goes on?
Walking tightrope high
Over moral ground.
Walk the bridges be-
-fore you burn them down!
Do come round
With the living, let
What is living love.
Unforgiving, yet
Needing forgiveness first...
God, what do you say?
God, what do you say?
I feel a sickness...
A sickness coming over me
Like watching freedom
Being sucked straight out to sea

He believes all those things he mentioned, does that make him close minded?
I believe in evolution as well. You cannot look at the species of this earth and deny that evolution occurs. The question is whether something is in control of it or not.
in my opinion there is no "something" controlling us, the world, or evolution...
i believe in a greater power and evolution. can your mind wrap itself around that contradiction? dont go confusing all faith or belief in higher powers with Catholic doctrine.
yes i can "wrap my mind" around that concept...just dont be offended if i dont believe it
i am not confucing "all faith or belief in higher powers with Catholic Doctrine"... the article mentioned the catholic church several times... and it just happens to be the biggest, and finest, example of a fraudulent religion that is based strictly on population control and $$$

im not offended by whether or not you believe it. i am offended by your contention that i am somehow "weaker" than you for believing there is something bigger than me out there. for the record, im not christian either.
it's odd, i recognize a lot of my own former thinking in your rhetoric and cant help wondering if i used to come across as arrogant and pompous as you do.
Water freezes at 32 degrees (or 0 degrees Celsius) and boils at 212 degrees (100 degrees Celsius).
That has not been proven conclusively. It is only a theory that holds true under the information and conditions we know today. A scientist will tell you the same.

Yes, but today under the conditions we know, and that is all we know, we can prove this. I can heat up water and say it will boil at 212 degrees, you and everyone else in the world knows it's true.
So basically the Bible is a theory that doesn't hold under the information and conditions we know today. The fun part about being a believer is, you can say; god did it, god made it happen... And I can't, no one can, say you're wrong because no one can prove god doesn't exist.
it's odd, i recognize a lot of my own former thinking in your rhetoric and cant help wondering if i used to come across as arrogant and pompous as you do.
i truly hope that i am not coming across as pompous or arrogant...i am just stating MY OPINION!... that i feel that a belief in a higher being or purpose is a human weakness... just like drug addiction is a weakness
we all have weakness (and flaws)...it is the truly strong that can admit to them
fair enough. i BELIEVE you're a pompous ass for making a sweepingly judgmental statement like that.
i can live with that... and i stand by opinion...i am not attempting to put anyone down, or their beliefs...i could care less what someone believes in... i am just stating how i feel
once the human race can admit its weakness' we can start to evolve
i just think it is cute for adults to believe in fairy tales and metaphors as fact
Europe is a bit of a joke really.Most people I know mock you if say you believe in God and not because they have thought about it and come to the conclusion that there is no God,but because it is accepted in society nowadays that anyone who believes in God is a nutcase who believes they are morally superior to everyone else.It's just ridiculous when people suggest that Religion is created to control and exploit people.If they took the time to read the Bible I'm sure they would have a lot less criticisms of it.
It may be the devil or it may be the Lord
But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

dont get me started on drug addiction. but yes, you do come across like that.

I think the truly strong admit to their weaknesses but don't point out others.
As I tell my son that he can't make himself bigger by making someone else smaller. He can only make him seem bigger by making someone else bigger. But in the end he can only be who he is and that it's up to hm if he lives up to that potential. And we allhave the potential to be more amazing than we imagine.

Whats next, earth is flat, stil centre of the cosmos? Or hasnt science proved that one to you yet?

if you've got more jobs than people doing them you have less unemployment and less need for social welfare systems.
