If you believe in god, you're an idiot...

The only thing we can all say for sure is that we aren't certain.

We can have theories and having a theory isn't being stupid. In my opinion either is possible. I am certain in a few hundred years we will be able to create advanced life ourselves. I believe we have already created very very simple forms of life haven't we? Who is to say that a more ancient being hasn't already done this?

I am an agnostic and will remain that way.

I considered myself a christian until I studied history and found out how religion was used in the early days to control people. I do not put any faith in anything these people have said or done.

I am ok with saying that I do not know and anyone who says they do know is lying.

Hate to break it to you but there's never been a time when religion wasn't used to control people.

And just because you don't have an opinion either way doesn't make those of us more sure in our beliefs liars.

Now if you're saying #1 and #7 cannot possibly know for sure, then I agree with you.

You don't need to "break" anything to me I am already aware of this but I was saying that this is the point in my life when I realized this.

I am saying #1 and #7 cannot possibly know for sure, which is probably why you missed me saying "I am ok with saying that I do not know and anyone who says they do know is lying."

You can believe whatever you want but you do not know anything for sure because neither has been proven.

Ok here's something I know. If we were created like the bible tells us our creator is a fucking moron because he gave us an appendix we don't need.

How do you know that the appendix has no use? As far as science is concerned now it has no function and it is not known what its purpose is but that is not to say it doesn't have one. Maybe time will tell.

Umm as far as science is concerned we used it hundreds of thousands of years ago to process the high amount of dirt in our diet.

You're a sick sad little man. I award you no points, and my God have mercy on your soul.

It's amazing how much hatred you and some of the others in this thread have. Not only the Athiests but the "Christians" too.

You can tell me to go fuck myself all you want, doesn't make you any more right, in fact, it just proves that "u mad"

It's like when you're trying to have a debate with a child. You explain something, and when they don't have anything to refute it, they call you a "poo poo head"

Except you haven't given me anything I haven't refuted.
Your claim was I'm illiterate, cannot or have not read the bible, and have no grasp of your primitive shitfuck religion. To which I replied that I've read it, study it often, went to church 1000x, I'm from one of the most religious parts of the country, and I'm of a fundamentalist christian family. To which you responded "poopoohead".

Actually you're the one who has gone bananas here, I'm perfectly calm. I didn't say you were illiterate, dunno where you're getting that. As far as you having read the Bible, you've obviously not understood something about it, because it's not primitive, and the arguments you bring up don't hold any weight.

I don't care if your family is a fundamentalist Christian family, doesn't mean they've got it all right either, in fact in a lot of ways the fundamentalist Christians are the bigots, and the ones who are always bringing the Fire and Brimstone, and saying how everything is wrong.

Sort of like the whole Christians can't drink thing. The Bible doesn't say that, just says don't drink to get drunk. That refers to gluttony which is a sin, so over drinking, and over eating, both the same thing, gluttony. I know you didn't bring that topic up, just referencing a common misconception amongst fundamentalists.

So you can keep flying off the handle and being mad brew. Hope you get over it, and I'm sorry for however you grew up that made you so angry.
