It would be really nice if any online discussion of religion could go more than one post before becoming hostile/condescending :/ |
That will never happen.

I believe in judgment of humans through their judgment of fiction, for nothing else tells better of their disposition freed from apprehension.

I see no problem with disagreement.
"You got a jacked up notion of fair play pal...and it's beginning to piss me off."
"Though a fight every now and again does make life a little more interesting...dontcha think?"
^ This isn't dead, I swear!
Most of my closest friends have qualities that I despise. But I love them all regardless of their faults.

No god exists. Unless one defines God as a defense mechanism used to explain things people don't yet understand. Then yeah, those exist. |
In things people don't understand as of today, we can't conclusively state, we have no proof of either result.
The belief that there's definitively no god relies on a faith in the concept that science will prevail. Which is similar in belief blind faith in saying "god made it". Neither have real proof behind it yet (and the evidence around many of our physics that define universe creation are pretty sketchy if you give it a good read. It's actually a fascinating read, if they had actual proof of it). Cold cut saying one is true or not true based purely on historical results is a little tough. The best position I believe one should take is to be open minded and willing to accept anything that happens. One event seems more likely to me based on the fact that one requires more difficult logic to get to, but I wouldn't rule out the idea of the other being possible either.
Again, saying that one must be true without evidence is blind faith. Similar to the blind faith that can go with saying "[x] exists" without any proof either. Our science can be pretty bad. I think it'd be silly to go past whatever we can conclusively see and observe. Heck, not even that might be worth fully agreeing with if we move past usage for sending things into space. We can't even consolidate our physics formulae. We use quantum mechanics for some, classical physics for others, which sometimes yield weird results.
I wouldn't put too much stock into our concept of physics. And this is coming from a guy who's spent his entire first degree working with physics and chemistry.

Entertainingly, Extra Credits just proved how poorly people react if they get called out on their attacking of anything with the terms "Religion", "God", or "Faith". It's amusing how they got to the point where they felt they needed to detract from video games and get into a fight with the internet of all things about religion. They abuse the term "faith" in ways they shouldn't, but it's a good piece (and a little bit of a wake up for the internet, which it needs every once in a while).

Dang, I never thought I'd be posting in the maturity domain. But when it comes to God's existence and interpreting the bible, I can put in my 2 cents worth on that. Have a nice day and GO IRISH!!!!!

Hear me out. There is no concrete proof of either, yet I feel it is both. Let's say... there's a sign on the other side of a wall, it's there, that's predestined, it didn't have a choice. But, let's say you know the sign is there, you decide whether or not to read it, that's free will. Alternatively, you could read the sign due to being easily curious, or the opposite, which means that what Kensai said, isn't entirely untrue. Our past affects out future free will in a sense but it is still ours.
However, in reality... it all depends on our belief. Although I personally believe in God and the free will he gave us, I don't want to turn this into another religious argument.

I second that, Gold. I don't want to make any more enemies than I already have, so I'm gonna stop. Goodbye maturity domain!!
