Your knowledge of the Big Bang theory is childish at best.

LOL... right. School me, oh wise one. Before you do, think about what I posted before you look foolish.

Talisman wasn't banned for being a "fucking moron"

Neither was I, so what's your point? You don't have one, cause never got to read the reason that was given to me for the ban. Or have you somehow obtained my password and logged in to my account? Yay, more of your assertions.

And, you can't go changing definitions of words to suit your desires. Merriam Webster will beat you about the head and neck with an unabridged version of itself.

Here is Merriam Webster's version:

athe·ism
noun \ˈā-thē-ˌi-zəm\
archaic : ungodliness, wickedness
2
a : a disbelief in the existence of deity b : the doctrine that there is no deity

So, explain to me where it says belief.

You didn't read your own definition?

[YALE]

Yes I do, which brings me to this: So so you admit that all "atheists" are not the same. Now, if they are not all in fact the same, then a good portion of them are not truly "atheists" at all. See my previous definition of "atheism" in one of my above posts. I just simply googled and capied/pasted that definition from some random dictionary website. So if that is in fact the definition of an atheist, then according to what I have read here, there aren't actually any atheists on this site. Key word in the definition being "belief". According to that definition, (which I'm sure you'll find the same definition anywhere else) none of you are atheists. I'm sorry but you can't sit there and say

"I am an atheist. And as such, I do not believe there is a god. ... But... sigh... I'm open to the possibility one day, if there's proof."

That's bullshit. You're not a fucking atheist, you're agnostic, or some variant thereof. Its not agnostic, though its similar. Maybe someone can help me out with the exact word.

I deleted my first post after I saw you actually responded, and I'm forced to point out again: the plaintiff's argument has nothing to do with atheism. Do you see why using the logic they present against atheists in general is indefensible yet? The discussions don't depend on each other, making an assault on atheism born out of your opinion of the plaintiff's opinion a simple ad hominem fallacy. It don't hold water. I don't have to address the beliefs of atheists as a whole, or my own, for your position to be invalid. Your invalidity is independent of those two things. I can try and repeat myself in a different way, if you like.

Pretty much sums up this tread.

There's easily 25 people (or more) that think the same of you, so you'll have forgive me if what you said carries no weight. And if you think that there isn't actually any argument, then you just need to gain some reading comprehension.

Funny that none of them are here to point out how obviously wrong I am. Wonder why? There is a circular "argument" that you invented out of thin air with more holes than the condom the dog used on your mom the day you were conceived. If that is your only "argument" by all means go on considering yourself a super genius while the rest of us sit back and make hilarious quips at your expense.

Disbelief is not believing, or a lack of belief. Do you understand English?

Everything came from nothing... GREAT logic, there!

In all fairness, in the Abrahamic religions, God didn't "come" from anything... he's just always been there. That's a pretty hard concept to wrap your head around, as well.

He is right Dennis. It would be like if Tweedle over here suddenly willed himself a brain because he'd always wanted one. It's just highly unlikely.

I like the way it was referred to as "The Big Bag" theory by one of our less-than-stellar posters in the Theology Corner.

[exlude]

It's pretty much the same idea either way.

1) God came from nothing or God always existed.

2) Matter came from nothing or matter always existed.

If anything, atleast we have physical evidence that matter has existed.

I fixed your post for you (posting for dummies). And if that is the video you're using for your post, you STILL haven't answered the initial question I posted. Where did that "mass" come from? You can post your religious beliefs on what happened to the "mass," but you STILL haven't answered the only thing I questioned. I will wait patiently.

In all fairness, in the Abrahamic religions, God didn't "come" from anything... he's just always been there. That's a pretty hard concept to wrap your head around, as well.

Right, but his thought process requires proof or he doesn't believe (atheist), so where is his proof? Mine is based soley on faith, so I'm good with what I believe.

It's pretty much the same idea either way.

1) God came from nothing or God always existed.

2) Matter came from nothing or matter always existed.

If anything, atleast we have physical evidence that matter has existed.

We we can BELIEVE that matter was just there one day? Remember, I'm trying to see this from an atheist's point of view. SO if they are truely consistant, they could not have any opinion unless it is backed by some factual evidence. If not, the ATHEIST must BELIEVE in something that hasn't been proven (just like me).

And you guys try to label Christians as hypocrites... LMAO!

Someone pm me when you guys get this resolved.

I'm good. Just trying to figure out the others.
