How did you guys get this picture of my aunt Betty and uncles Billy and Billy.

Its funny because the CIA reports that 97.6% of the world believes in some kind of god.

I know this is wrong because they never asked me or anybody else that I know. Has anybody on this forum been asked by the CIA about their religious beliefs?

How did you come up with this nonsense?

I cannot imagine the trauma the first day you saw Aunt Betty was actually Uncle Betty. cn

All that blabber and you still never answered my question lol What is it that you gain, Heis? Who benefits from your arguments against the logic of spirituality and theism?

It's a shot in the dark; but maybe because you rarely, if ever, answer his questions. Well, unless you count personal attacks.

Do humans acquire a soul at the moment of conception, or birth? Or sometime between then? Or when? Im conflicted by this question all the time.

Right after birth the doctor sucks the embryonic fluid out of your nose and then gives you a soul suppository.

At the mortuary, after you've died, the mortician removes the soul, gives it a good washing, then sends it back to the hospital for reinsertion.

I think this is what happens.

Brain = Soul


When you are clinically dead, your "soul" is clinically dead. Your brain IS everything you are. The soul is an outdated concept.

Have none of you heard of the CIA world factbook? Look it up.

 

[Cut.Throat.]

Have none of you heard of the CIA world factbook? Look it up.

Christian 33.35% (of which Roman Catholic 16.83%, Protestant 6.08%, Orthodox 4.03%, Anglican 1.26%), Muslim 22.43%, Hindu 13.78%, Buddhist 7.13%, Sikh 0.36%, Jewish 0.21%, Baha'i 0.11%, other religions 11.17%, non-religious 9.42%, atheists 2.04% (2009 est.)

9.42% + 2.04% = 11.46%
100% - 11.46% = 88.54%

88.54% <> 97.6%. Nice try tho. Keep making things up. It's what religion is all about anyway.

Oh and he's right. No one ever asked me about my religious beliefs. So those numbers are off anyway.

Nice job CT, I was stunned by the amount of info on that website and momentarily passed out.

What sort of god do those 11.17% other religions believe in? Is it a hairy god with a beard and poor posture or is this god clean shaven with significant body waxing?

Also I believe that buddhists don't believe in a higher power? So I would add them to the non-religous but I'll give kaendar the buddhists.

For a mod you certainly like to start trouble.

Apparently you missed the previous few posts. Heis' analysis of CWE is spot on, he's rude and is incapable of accepting any criticisms about his beliefs, even though he posts them on a public forum to be read by people and commented on. Not sure if he realizes that doesn't make a whole lot of sense as the complaints always seem to be the same, lacking in substance, accusations and personal attacks. When have those tactics ever benefited anyone?

He's full of personal bias and faulty reasoning, and when pointed out, all he's got are gradeschool comebacks, as if that accomplishes anything. Read his post history and see for yourself.

Appeal to numbers/majority. It wouldn't make a difference if 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% of people believed in God and I was the sole atheist in existence, it still wouldn't mean it's true. At one point in time, the vast majority of people believed the solar system orbited the Earth, at another point in time the majority of people believed the Earth was flat, see what I'm getting at? Just because a lot of people believe something is true doesn't make it true, similar to Justin Bieber or Bjork, they sell millions of albums, does that make their music the best? Whoever sells the most is the best? Do you consider the best movie in existence to be Avatar or Titanic? Because according to the most people they are...

Hes just an angry child that looks forward to a world where no one believes in god... I hope he's learned to cope with other peoples beliefs in twenty years when theres still plenty of god lovers around...

Well, when you're sitting there, 20 years from now, I hope you remember this statement. Unless something happens that takes out the internet worldwide, we will continue to see the numbers of people who claim any traditional religion fall. And you misunderstand me in this sense because you seem to think I want everybody to stop believing in God and until that day, I won't rest! Which isn't the case at all. I couldn't care less if people believe in God. I want people to stop killing people for/because of/in the name of God. I want people to accept reality for what it is and not ancient myths they're not prepared to get past. This is something you agree with but fail to acknowledge because of the place it's coming from.

You listed only ppl that belong to specific religions. There are other numbers there.

"Nonreligious" can break either way imo. I don't think they can be counted either as confirmed theists or atheists. cn

 

[Hepheastus420]

Why does the percentage of religious followers matter?

I think you have a reading problem. I computed non-religious and atheist. And that's from the CIA fact book. Ya know? The one you made up your 97% from?

Buddhists do not believe in a god: http://www.buddhanet.net/ans73.htm . Must recompute.

2.04% + 9.42% + 7.13% = 18.59%. 100% - 18.59% = 81.41%

81.41% <> 97%

Any other variables i should know about?

edit: Actually kaendar you should really read that link. It explains perfectly why humans created god.

edit2: I'm starting to think I should become a buddhist. I mean I'm already a little chubby.

Yes animals experience thought and emotion, but they dont know good and evil. Everything is put on this earth to support humans. Trees, plants, water, weather, animals, etc. And im not christian. Im not any religion.

err WOW , you seriousley think trees plants water and animals etc were put on this planet for humans ? lol humans have been on this planet for a fraction of the time this planet has been around. all those things you said have been around a hell of a lot longer than humans .
dinosaurs were using water trees and plants millions of years before we mere humans were even in existance .
some of the posts ive read from you in this thread are verging on the rediculous .

Hey, thats what it says in the bible. Nothing conflicting so I go with it.

 

[ThE sAtIvA hIgH]

Like I said, the easiest proof of a spiritual world is attacks by demons. A simple internet search can give you plenty of proof. Second would be miracles, god using your body to make the impossible possible.

attacks by demons , wtf have you been smoking ? dont you think if people were being attacked by fucking demons all the time , it would be pretty big fuckin news , it would be being documented, photographs , videos , news reports , people paniking , it would be absolute mayhem .i for one wouldnt dare leave the house , if i thought for one minuite there was a chance of being attacked by a demon , and wtf is a demon in your opinion ?
