Sick? Elizabeth was her successor. The setted government was afraid of an heir to the throne who'd constrict the nation to Orthodox belief. Hence, Elizabeth was uprooted.

Ugh! None of this matters! Debates are set up in order to be resolved! This is pointless! This is arguing for the sake of argument. Phoenix, maybe there are not that many cold hard facts about Jesus's existance, or Mohammed, or whatever! The fact remains that people practice religion based on faith! Living life, and then believing that when you die, that is the end... It just seems so bleak!

So, in the end, this so-called Atheism vs. Religion thread is never ending. It is worthless to try and compete with facts, but trying to disprove something that people have poured their lives into is just... wrong. Maybe we are deluding ourselves, but at least we are happy and content with our lives! I'm not trying to get you to convert or anything, just... beleive in something! The profound underlying message of Christianity or whatever is love and salvation. Atheism just seems so pointless, believing that you don't beleive in a greater existance or life after death. If you don't want to beleive in anything, fine I won't stop you. I will, however, not put up with denying faiths.

I know that you are probably going to skim this over, come up with some witty or smart thing to say, that will probably be true in some respect, then you'll be satisfied in saying that you "pwned" me. But sometime, when you don't have anything else to think about, asses how happy you really are. having a religion is a gift and a curse, but not beleiving at all is just... pitiful.

This is on March 23rd. Why must you be so hostile to a nigh-abandoned thread?

Clearly, you don't watch enough of Political debates enough to see our country's greatest men quarrell like children.

Then we'd lie to ourselves? Prove that we are given salvation after life and not merely imagining a plane of eternal salvation.

We're not here to convert. We're here to discuss. This thread was made as a general thread to link all Atheism vs Religion discussion in a nutshell.

Then leave.

I'd rather have the truth than lie to myself.

My heart's breaking for you. If you don't like it, don't come to Intel, because that is exactly what we do here.

What's pitiful is you coming to Intel and expect us to stop talking about intelligent things. Oh, and believing that the right thing to do is to dellude ourselves is fairly pitiful too.

This is all I have to say about "God"

"God is a kind of theurapeutic device designed to give emotional aid and comfort to man. this supports the myth that avergae man is emotionally invapable of facing facts."

God intended to create us then? Funny, he creates a race of flawed creations on purpose.

That is an abomination of an analogy for the big bang theory...... and it was intended to be a witty joke its not funny at all.

What...the...****? Was that supposed to be some sort of obscure non-sequitor joke? You fail...hard.

 

[Phoenix]

Please, va, show us where the Big Bang theory says that the Big Bang created perfectly organized information.

In my opinion, im not sure if im leaning more toward the atheist, or just undecided.

 

[Iridium]

Meh I'm a full blown atheist but I am slightly spiritual.
Don't just assume I'll try and shove my beliefs down your throat ;3

Okay, **** you. This thread was dead as hell until you arrived. You really couldn't have picked one of the million existing threads on the same subject to mount your soapbox in?
