There are pretenders in both our fields,

Think about it this way,

[more athiests find God in prison.



If this is true then all you would have to do is send more people to prison to have them believe in God.

Hold on one minute did we not try this already in the past? Did it work? If so that could be the answer to geting rid of all the non believers. :detective:

if an atheist is kept alive (artificially) forever and tortured (everything he/she wanted, thought, or felt the opposite occurred) forever at some point in time it will want God or something like a God (beyond it) to save it? Right?

Would you believe in a God to stop continuous torture/pain?
If you can't stop it yourself or any other way wouldn't you resort to asking for someone or something else beyond you to?

Not that doing so would be successful, but that any living thing would have to ask because it is in it's own self interest to.


No, clearly, since in this scenario believing in god would do the opposite of stopping the torture.

That is nonsense too. You are quickly losing credit on your arguments.

I do so wish people would actually EXPAND and show me where i am wrong instead of continuously keep just telling me to accept blindly i am in the wrong.
If you are convincing i am actually open to correction, REALLY.

I am in debt to you,
you think i actually have anything to lose?

let me put it this way ;

I asked about a year ago , this question ;

who believes in their own Humanity , on another site

I got an astonishingly less then 10 responses to the positive towards Humanity , collectively

Honsetly i think humanity can only be proven by the human race, not the individual.
You cannot prove humanity to yourself?
No i really dont think so.

The point of God is to never be imprisoned in the first place,
religion for all it rules and judegements does just have one goal in sight,
To liberate you,
not just from the world and yourself but for the need of any walls or prison cells.

All the other imitators please stand up, please stand up.

That is absolute BS.

Statistically there are more religious people in prisons than non. It is not that they all of a sudden become religious while in prison. Stop spreading falseness. Nothing more annoying than a person who lies to make their religious beliefs feel better.



There are so many holes in that it isn't even funny.

You're not making any valid arguement for atheism, merely attacking theism.

Why can't you show me where atheism has ever got together and done anything to help humanity.

I probably would have but you don't see the contradiction here? You expect me to accept your argument without any thing to back it up with? Then you want me to provide something tangible for you because your statement is clearly wrong? Why not use your own ability to do research before you make statements? Google is your friend, why do you expect me to do all your homework for you?

You gave me something to grow from,
you contributed to my mind and spirit,
thank you.

Perhaps we are meant to out-grow ourselves?
Perhaps we are meant to out-grow God?

Perhaps out-growing one means losing or finding the other?

Perhaps God is meant to out-grow us?

some of us have , for the total Earth to do so , is a big attitude change to say the least

out growing both though , means that we have finally become a being that believes in its self

we have grown

@north,
north; what of outgrowing 'self' altogether.

God does not make mistakes,
God is the first pupil,
therefore the first teacher.
God makes adjustments.

But there is something to be said for following Gods lesson plan.

And knowing ouselves enough to know when we have at the least caught up with God.
And yes, do we have the ability to surpass God?
I am not sure God would have created us with out the express understanding we could be married not just offspring.

@awareness,
When I see congregations of atheists getting together to serve meals to the poor, build houses for humanity, provide shelter for the homeless. Then will I believe we have outgrown God.

You think that if atheists do that, that will prove that there is no God?

When are we going to take responsibilty for ourselves?
God gave us freedom, when are we going to stop torturing ourselves?
The day we release the self.

Evil was the first conception of 'self'
Lucifer may have been the first person?

Not at all, only that the need for God belief has passed.
I don't believe for a minute it will ever happen.
