Quote from Blur: “. At the end of the day it's their choice, just let your conscience have a hand in making that choice, not your ego.” How dare you presume to know that. You don't. You can't. Either make your case or shut the fuck up, but don't you ever presume knowledge of something that you can't ever have knowledge of. It's the epitome and pinnacle of ignorance, and you're basing your decisions on it.

Quote from ~+ Bear +~: “youtube.com/watch?v=rCIyBxPBJXw FOR THOSE WHO ARE WONDERING ABOUT THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE: GO TO 4:40 IN THIS VIDEO.” So if god created that cross, and created it so that we could see it (supposedly), why is it slanted and somewhat misshapen?

Quote from Dr.Carter: “That's a little bit overzealous if you ask me. Science can't necessarily prove black holes exist, because obviously you can't see one, but they can infer that they exist due to observations and logical thinking.” Proof is not limited to seeing things. You can prove something exists without seeing it, what would the blind do if you couldn't? Would everything be inferred to them?

PETA is that beautifully insane mix of irrational and hypocritical that you rarely find outside of a religion.

Under no circumstances is it ok to take the life of another human being.

Quote from ªbominable': “Big Bang (or whatever is the "in" trend of the day)” The big bang has been an '"in" trend' for roughly 80 years. It's unlikely that it's going anywhere.

Wow, that site certainly is ridiculous.

Quote from LuklaAdvocate: “Science doesn't deal with what is morally "right" or "wrong."” I think it certainly can. Science is how we describe the natural world, if morality is part of the natural world (which it is), it will be describable and ultimately prescribable by science. Quote from LuklaAdvocate: “ Science can tell you that injecting a large dose of potassium chloride into a person will kill them. It can't tell you if doing such an action is moral or immoral. It's subjective. There is n…

Quote from LuklaAdvocate: “Subjective moral questions. i.e. is killing your neighbor wrong? ” Want to explain how science can't explain that? My understanding of it is that if it's part of the natural, observable universe, it's explainable by science, because that's what science does.

Quote from sigi: “No opinion. I am not at all religious. I am a very big believer in science and science's theories. Science, however, cannot explain everything.” What can't science explain?

I support this law. Any amount of alcohol is too much.

I don't see how you can appeal to take away someones rights, or how 52% can rule over 48%. It seems the conservative groups are the ones always yammering on about their precious freedoms, not that liberals don't, but it is slightly more characteristic of the conservative side, so shouldn't people have the freedom to be able to marry who they want? A prime example of how people are in love with the idea of freedom, but I guess I'd say that I am too. Sorry for blathering :p.

Quote from LuklaAdvocate: “I know the difference between a lack of belief as opposed to the direct repudiation of a god. I don't need a lecture on linguistics.Don't flatter yourself.” My problem with your original post was the way you seemed to contrast agnosticism to atheism, implicitly saying that the former made no claims while the latter made the claim a god does not exist. It was my mistake, yes, but I don't think it was that big of a jump to come to that conclusion. Quote from LuklaAdvocat…

The set of definitions I find most useful are the 'agnostic atheist/gnostic theist' ones. Given this, it all goes by what you'd rather identify by - Atheist or agnostic. I choose the first because I feel it more accurately describes my position - There may in fact be god(s), but I don't know, I don't think it helps as a postulate because as of yet it's been always done in haste and dishonestly, and I don't have a belief in any god(s). Quote from Willardlol: “I see what you mean, since were not b…

Quote from sheadonnellybby: “i don't know what i believe anymore; but it's depending on the person i guess . i believe sometimes & other times i don't . i guess some of those times are times like when i feel weak or powerless & i need some help in my life . ” There are times when I feel like that too, but I don't need to turn to a supernatural explanation to feel better. What I do is I think about it and talk to people (people who are real). Quote from sheadonnellybby: “ there has been evidence …

Quote from LuklaAdvocate: “ And so we're clear, even though there are bundles of gods that have been worshiped throughout history, that alone doesn't negate the concept of god existing. ” I agree, but to properly come to the conclusion that a god exists, honest methods should be applied, not just assertions and fallacious reasoning.

Quote from LuklaAdvocate: “Atheism in its most broad spectrum makes no claims. However, portions of atheism such as positive atheism do make claims, in which case the burden of evidence is also upon them.” Spectrum of theistic probability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia All the atheists I can think of would call themselves a 6, as it is illogical to state anything with 100% certainty, let alone claims of such an ambiguous and unfalsifiable nature.

Quote from HyperISWayCrazy: “now thats someone who is smart” I disagree, in a sense. 'Thinking' something is real even though you have no positive evidence* either way is a mistake. It destroys what it is to know something. *Positive evidence is not required for the claim that a god does not exist. It's up to believers to provide evidence in the first place, and then up to competent individuals to prove them wrong^. Furthermore, atheism avoids this because atheism makes no claims, it is simply a…

Quote from LuklaAdvocate: “Oooh, you're just trying to stop people from living in a bubble...that makes MUCH more sense. I'm terribly sorry, I hadn't realized that it was your ethical duty to reign sovereign over how other people wish to live their lives. ” First of all, it's got very little to do with me. Second, you would, and I'd bet my money you have, done the exact same thing under different or perhaps similar circumstances. Are you telling me that you voice opposition to nothing to their p…

Quote from LuklaAdvocate: “Thank you for this valuable and enlightening information. I'm sure the OP welcomes information that is completely contrary to what they were asking.” arguecat.png I won't let people live in a bubble, no matter how nice it seems to them. I'm also somewhat against people congregating solely for the purpose of patting each other on the back. Soz(?)
