There Is No God by Penn Jillette

I can only guess that this is pseudoscience you're referring to.

Did you just make that up?

 

[spookymooky]

I think he's referring to Schroedinger's uncertainty principle, but I'm not sure...

Pun not noticed till halfway through typing, my apologies...

water is a fluid and a chemical dumbass - so
1. its always moving
2. its always reacting with the environment
3. its constantly changing state
so of course its going to be a bit different every micro fraction of a second

if no one on Earth believed in any god do you think the earth would be more peaceful?
I do. very much so. It is not religeon that makes me care about people, and not want to kill them, it is human nature that lets me care and be compasionate and lets me love

Extremist Muslims? Religeous people that are the ones doing most of the killing? The Middle east? The difference is that they would be satisfied to kill any of us, just for what we belive in. We would kill them for trying to kill us. Which i think is justified.

You know people always say that when religeon is lost in the family, the family is torn apart and children turn into very bad children that don't respect their parents, and may eventually become criminals. I don't know what do you think?

What about these rapist priests?

Do you have any ****ing idea how screwed up this is? This media attention this has gotten has already ****ed up these kids whether or not they have been abused themselves or not.

The news and comedians and talk shows are exposing children to child-rape information constantly, taking away their innocence... or just making everyone feel uncomfortable. I mean most parents wont allow their children to watch R rated movies...this shit is like illegal banned XXX info. this shit on the news although they use tricky words like pedophile and shit but once you hear the comedians talk about it, its not hard to figure out.

You know, i am a little undecided. I don't have the answer. Is there god? This universe is miraculous.

Anyway sometimes Im at a friends house and they like to pray before eating... things like that. Well I am made to feel uncomfortable, especially if they ask me to say a prayer or if i started eating before praying... But I do it becuase It sure can't hurt to pray to god right? IF there is one you know? its not like they are praying to satan

But religeous people should know that not everyone is christian or whatever religeon and not to make other people feel uncomfortable, and non-religeous people especially really need to accept the fact that religeous people aren't playing make believe and they do not appreciate you trying to "talk sense into them" by doubting their beliefs.

I've talked with some very religeous people before and they said to me, "Doesn't it feel a bit nicer knowing that when you die thats not the end? That there is something better and you have a place there?"

Just ****ing respect everyones belief as long as they aren't forcing it on you like a suicide bomber or something. You don't even have to respect it, just Accept that they believe it and don't talk about it unless you agree on it.

More peaceful?

If you ask me, there'd still be just as much angst, violence, and bigotry as there is today and has been throughout history. There'd simply be less poor excuses flying about. Actually, a new justification would be sought in its absence.

You may be right Or you might not, but

No, i didn't say if there was no religeon it would end all war and strife. But there are holy wars going on all the time. Im saying I know in my heart that I don't like killing people IRL and Im not religeous. So why are these people like that? They don't follow the 10 commandmants "thou shall not kill" and neither do I, but that doesn't mean I should go kill--becuase thats ****ed up. What gives you the right to take someone elses life? I don't even like the fact that bugs and animals become "pests" and "destroy our crops" but really they are ****ing trying to eat! so i dont like killing bugs, but killing a human for no reason other than that they aren't practicing whats in your religeous books?
So what do they follow? "kill anyone who does not bow down biatch?"


Something else I wanted to touch on:
Yea you saw Men In black 2 where a galaxy or universe was just a toy ball for some wierd creature?

..Like the universe-- if it is not infinate, is it a ****ing immesurable globe like a planet? So there are quadrabazillion universes and they are all drops in the bucket of a Super universe and that super universe is a drop in the bucket of a super DUPER universe?

OK that sounds stupid but you get my drift?

OK now for comparison, there are molecules and atoms and things like that. OK do you think an ameba (if they had the brain function) or other simple celled creature thinks that the pond is the ****ing galaxy? and beyond that is the universe?

You see what Im saying? like becuase it is on a scale so much bigger than us and since we don't know whats out there, only judging by how far out we can see. which.. if the universe is INFINATE--meaning it just never ever ****ing stops...well that shit is facinating. there could be creatures bigger than earth out there, like huge ****ing wales in the sea of the universe.

DUnno what do u think?

Or another odd view on it would be something like: we could be some GIGANTIC creatures little Sea monkey play-set. Is that our god? We are little pets or some hobby of his/her? Like our universe is their "aquarium" Extreme!


Sea monkeys were a toy from the late 70's/ early 80's that was a small aquarium with a packet of brine shrimp eggs. when you add them to water they come to life. It was deceptive false advertising and there was even a South-Park episode that featured them.
