# God is imaginary. ...
ReplyDeleteEven the g0d-bots believe this. Since you can't point at g0d then you must imagine S/He/IT so S/He/IT is imaginary.
# The universe created itself. ...
No one believes that, it was created but we are honest enough to say we don't know how or why.
# Once there was something, dead matter evolved into living and self-aware creative beings. ...
Whats the problem the g0d-bots say the same thing...remember the dirt of the earth-etc.
# The Bible writers were liars. ...
And your point? Of course they lied.
# There’s no such thing as morality. ...
Define the word.
# There’s no such thing as love. ...
Thats not hard to believe. Most people have no idea what the word means. Love like in the books and movies doesn't exit.
# The universe has no design. ...
Of couse it has design, it just wasn't designed.
# Life has no purpose or meaning. ...
None that we don't put into it.
# Human life is not sacred. ...
Define sacred?
# Jesus was crazy or dishonest. ..
An imaginary person cant be crazy.
Just a few thoughts on the ten points.
WHERE I DISAGREE
ReplyDelete2) I disagree cos GRAVITY created the universe. It is a something, not a nothing.
3) It wasn't dead matter cos it wasn't alive- it was lightning, with water, with stuff from meteors as compounds.
5) This is a HUGE point of disagreement. Huge. I don't even want to think about this one. No morality? Morals are the basis of all. If you want no morality, you dehuamize people to the level of ants in a colony.
6) Love? Give me a chance to rescue me love of me life (Parveen), then i will burn meself alive to do it. I suffered for true love. Love and morals is both just EVERYTHING.
8) Life has no purpose? Yes it does. It is to survive, build, create, improve, and to be all that we can be.
9) Human life is sacred so people who take it, harm it, degrade it, it's ok as to moral laws to destroy them. Like murderes, rapists etc, we can take all their organs and give them to good people, punishment = mercy and goodness, see or no?
10) Jesus is very misunderstood, except by certain sect of Islam you can say (oddly, me mum is in this sect by the way). Actually, he died after living to 80+ in Hindustan after walking from Palestine. He completed his mission.
