Your mind can never escape the beginning and ending trap, can it. To you something can't just exist, it has to 'come from' somewhere. You have to see everything thru your god glasses for it to make any sense. That's called having a handicap, maybe you can get a handicapped parking placard from your DMV. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I guess the question is then why do I remain a Christian? Let me also put the question to you; why do you remain an atheist? What arguments do you hold to maintain your own "brainwashing"? What evidence or experiences have you had that reinforce your conception that there is no God? “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Not sure of that....... life adapted to desertification, volcano eruptions, elevation change, species changes, iceages, agricultural devestation, Are there universal laws? The universe keeps changing. life does too. Polar bears are about to find out just how badly. So are krill and sea snakes. |

You're a Christian because you have no choice, you won't let yourself be anything else. It's Catholic guilt for life, or so the many recovering Catholics say.
Non belief in something is not a conception. It's the lack of one. You're still pretending to not know what atheism means, I see. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18777 | I'm definitely not believing in any god until there is a more perfect religion. To me, that proves, that if there is a perfect god, he has certainly not contacted any of us yet, if that jumbled mess that has to be twisted around constantly to make sense, is the best he can come up with. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

It could also prove that there is a perfect God, but imperfect people. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

That is not true but I guess you can keep saying it. Do you do the same with your atheism?
I'm amazed you still don't understand that positively saying that there is absolutely no God is actually more than a conception, it is a statement of belief, and one based on no evidence or logic or reason. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

You can't be anything else, the guilt would kill you. That's the beauty of brainwashing. You're trapped.
There is no evidence for any god, so logically he doesn't exist. Until such evidence presents itself, there's no point in even thinking about it. For god to exist, the physical laws that hold the universe together would have to be proven wrong. Do you really see that happening? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Universal laws - the four fundamental forces, what they act on, how strongly they act, over what distance they act. As the universe expands, it is conceivable that these and the other universal laws will act differently. In another universe, they might be very different. Life, as we know it, requires certain conditions. Who knows what other kinds of life could be supported by different conditions? Not knowing how these conditions came to be or why they are the way that they are is not evidence that any of the gods, that people invented to help explain why the universe is the way that it is, are real.
