Right or wrong, no one can prove that God does or doesn't exist, so we might as well accept each others' beliefs, and move on. No one will change their opinion because of what some guy on the Internet said, especially on a topic which can't be proven or disproven. Some parts of each side can be shown to be true, but both sides also have holes which have not yet been explained.
Just for the record, I don't think that a truly religious person would try to logically prove the existence of God to a non-believer, since one would have to admit that the essence of religious belief is faith, and someone with real faith wouldn't need to look for proof of their God. All the proof that a truly religious person needs is written in the Bible.

I know that the Bible was compiled from mostly embellished stories long after Jesus died, and there is very little of it that I actually believe due to that fact and many others. You seem to have mistaken me for a Christian? I was merely pointing out the way that a believer would see it. Personally, I am an atheist, and I would appreciate it if no one tries to convert me, because they will fail miserably.
EDIT: I have not played Chinese Whispers.

I resent that remark quite a lot. I'm sensible enough to stay out of this argument, I know that I'm not going to change anyone's mind by arguing over the internet. You should stay away from stereotypes and insults, they'll gain you no honor.

Oh, well that's always a relief to hear, but we wouldn't want them to declare holy war on us infidels, and it seems to me that this argument only worsens and becomes even less logical and sensible every time someone insults someone else for their beliefs. Look at the Middle East...

Do you realize that you are aurguing about religion on a SPUD CANNON FORUM!!!!!?????

Topics such as this that have no relevency to the idea of this forum should be discussed elsewhere.

http://www.theopia.com/

Click the link, I dare ya :roll:

EDIT: Arguing on the internet is like running in the special olympics, even if you win, your still a retard. :P

I find it amazing that this thread has veered onto the topic of religion at least three times, and has still not been shut down.
Turbohacker, I don't think that "Things that piss you off" has a whole lot to do with spudguns either, but this thread has had over 800 posts, and still exists.

I thought about putting that in my post, but decided against it.

And I'm pretty sure this thread has been around longer than theopia has, though I could be mistaken.

EDIT: And actually, this post here makes 985. Wow, that's a lot of posts.

EDIT EDIT: It appears my statement was incorrect, Theopia is in fact older than this thread.

All right I know what will get us off the religion thread. Go to the theopia,I guarantee someone will argue you until you're blue.

Michael Moore is my problem.Tell me how a morbidly obese man has any say about health care.The fatso can't even take care of his own body,let alone tell other people how they should treat me and my family.

And to top it all off he goes to Cuba to say how good of health care they have?Last time I checked their people were still floating on whatever junk they can to get to US soil.If health care was so good why are they begging us to take them in?And yet another bit of info.Why then are other countries(and independent US citizens)going to Cuba to set up clinics? I thought they were a medical paradise,albeit barely off of third world status. :wink:

Something just doesn't ring true.But we all know any of Michael Moore's works are purely political.It was never about helping anyone out,its all about him, his view,and getting that agenda law.

Hear hear! The fat lard. It's cool and all to have an opinion, but don't be that guy. So he's being investigated for his recent movie sicko. There's a trade embargo, or whatever it is with Cuba. You can't do any kind of business with them, cause they're friggin commies. He complains about being investigated. Well idiot, everyone knows about the trade restrictions and you go and do it anyway. Not only that, you make a movie about it. What did you expect retard? You did something against the law, and then announced it to everyone in the country, idiot.

Gosh that guy pisses me off.

wow, I came back to THE EXACT SAME ARGUMENT WE HAD A COUPLE MONTHS AGO!

who the fuck cares, you don't need to convince anyone of your beliefs, go suck a dick

things that piss me off: the cheating allies and the money whoring owners of skirmish at I.O.N

I'm also resenting the influx of new members, I liked how the forum was small before with a couple threads a day
Movie dialogue: "The good die first."
Tom: "But most of us are morally ambiguous, which explains our random dying
patterns."

Moore or God argument?

So what didn't you like about skirmish?Mind you,I haven't been up there yet.I just hear alot of complaints.So I'm wondering if its worth my trouble attending a game.

I hate pyros... I'm just kidding.

I'll admit, it is rather annoying to have to search out a topic again after you've left it for like an hour.

On a side note, do you aussies tell time in hours and minutes, or do you use the metric system?

I'm really just kidding.
