"GOD"--the biggest conspiracy theory of all

Just because you dont understand how a scanning electron microscope, works showing me a picture of where an atom might be is hardly proof of existence. Im not confirming or denying the existence of atoms. They very well could exit. With a little faith.

Youll need to explain how you as a grownup is being forced into anything.

You need a dictionary to understand the meaning of words, such as "push" or "forced".

 

[Liar]

First of all: Yeah no.

Second: The first photo is an optical photo of a single light emitting atom.

But keep tapdancing. You're entertainingly bad at it.

Feeling threatened by religious people makes you seem pretty whimpy.

Assuming atoms exist, one can only imagine what God is hiding inside.

so you see no merit in the concept that a religious afterlife (valhalla, heaven, paradise, moksha, nirvana) that promises eternal life/peace/happiness as constituting a balm/salve/succour/explanation for the inexplicable, isn't part of a conspiracy theory? Evil-personified across religions is supposed to be responsible (along with human hubris) for a person not making the kinds of choices that will help them attain their place in the afterlife.
As I mentioned earlier, I am simply following and encouraging extrapolation. Weather's shitty and a passing thought became a thread.

I think there is a qualitative difference between the two. One is fighting established reality. Claims there is a secrets kept from you, but even their "truths" are ultimately mundane.

The other tries to make sense of established mystery. The things we all agree are unknowable and unknown. Afterlife, the nature of good and evil, and so on.

A conspiracy theory is the theory that there is a conspiracy. It's in the name. I don't know what the God conspiracy would be in that case.

I'll bet it's fucking cake.

Cake or anorher universe. Who knows.

any and all religions

the human mind is consummately adept at formulating conspiracy theories to "explain" those things hard to understand; just look at 9/11, just look at kennedy's murder, diana's death.

a lot of it is the mind's way to try and fill in the blanks, create an ending to an unfinished story. maybe most of it is the human way of trying to cope with loss.

given all this, isn't it fair to say that the unprovable concept of GOD (and, i stress, this goes across all religious creeds since man was able to consider the topic) is the biggest conspiracy theory of all?

after all, what's the biggest loss a person can conceive of? their life? the lives of their loved ones? their 'soul'? their status as a human being?

Thank you for this...I agree

 

[Saint_Ann]

Thank you for this...I agree

What group would be powerful enough to create multiple religions in multiple time spans? Wheres the conspiracy? The premise is laughable.

 

[Lazaran]

.
Yeah, an atom has been seen.

Scientists isolated a single strontium atom in an electric field and illuminated it with lasers.

They have also detected particles far smaller than atoms. Ironically one is called "the God particle" aka the Higgs Boson.

God is not about science.

At best, God is about morality and empathy.

He should stay in his lane.

So...whats your problem with religious people?

 

[FGB]

Of course it's unacceptable to you, as is your unverifiable claim there is a god is to me. I can not prove a negative, that a god doesn't exist and you have no proof there is. And no I will not accept your unsubstantiated claims of being visited by angels as proof.


"I say there is a GOD based on the fulfillment of his word and that interaction in real time at different times of my life..."

So your claim is that because you believe he is real, he is real? Did I not say the same?
Your "evidence" that he is real is nothing more then a belief, a few sinapsis in your brain, transmitting euphoria fed by dopamine produced by the situation you were in that told you it was so. Your claim was and is unsubstantiated, unprovable and unverifiable.

But I also said that because he does not exist for me, he does not exist. It's much like Schrodinger's cat, you can believe it's true, I can believe it's not and until such time as it's proven to be true we are both correct. That will never happen.

As much as you equate my non acceptance of god as trying to convince a blind person there is a moon, trying to get you to admit there is no proof of the existence of god is like trying to convince someone on LSD that what they are seeing isn't real. As I said, a construct of man because of the desire to have something larger than themselves to look up to. Some do not need such an artificial construct to live their lives.


Comshaw

That is because God keeps reminding me.

If he scares you speechless or surprises you a time or two you too might get a clue also.

I can tell you what NOT to do.

Do NOT study the words of God.

Do Not ASK Jesus to make himself known to you through the Holy spirit.

Do NOT repent of evil ways and ask for forgiveness and help being a better person.

Do NOT hang around with Christians...the real deal. I stand in AWE of them.

If you do NOT do any of this you will have no problem with GOD... unless you are one chosen by him before the foundation of the world.

In that case you are so screwed! Because he doesn't stop coming at you and will do whatever it takes to get your attention.

I Know from personal experience and have heard other testify to this.

And that about covers that.

Good luck!

It's people like FGB who can post on religion and then still lay down what other ungodly (and un-Christlike) tripe he posts to this board that makes me abandon his form of religion. If the god he believes in doesn't do something to him for posting the inhumane crap he does, then it isn't a god I want.

 

[Liar]

The shadow of what might be an atom.

No.

In that case literally the opposite. But you do you.

Chipbutty hates God but tries to play him on the gb. There is some irony here.

I wonder if her abandoned progeny believe in a higher power since they didn't have a parental role model ?

Yeah.

I am human. You should have known me before.

I was very much like you an a crap load of other posters here in real life.

Perfect example of justification for non-christ like behaviors....i am human. True faith causes us to want to work toward Godly behaviors. Not make excuses.

Actually, your idea that God is a conspiracy, could be a conspiracy that there is a conspiracy involving God.

The biggest loss I can conceive of is being separated from God forever.

 

[JohnnySavage]

Discussions about the existance of God are always circular.

How do you know God exists?

-- because the bible says so.

Well, how do you know the bible is true?

-- because it's the word of God!!!

Personally, I hope there is a God because when my time comes, I have an ear-full to give him/her/it.

 

[Ziggins]

I lean toward the characters in stories view of gods. Some stories work well enough to become religions with funding, lobbyists, lawyers, etc. Another view is there really are supernatural beings who can easily be perceived as gods and angels. They may encourage that for their own power, amusement, etc.

I believe in the God of Spinoza.
