Yiggoto commented on Yiggoto's blog post Does God Exist? Let's take the design view.
"Thanks for the comments. We are able to see the gaping holes in 'faith based arguements' so why can't believers? Have the churches/mosques got them that brainwashed or is it some kind of human disposition and we are the 'Tomorrow…"

"The thing that bugs me most about this, is that it is routinely referred to as the teleological 'argument'. It's not actually an argument of course (at least not in the logical sense, which the ontological and transcendental arguments…"
Dionysus commented on Yiggoto's blog post Does God Exist? Let's take the design view.
"The design argument is counter intuitive since before you say it's the work of a supernatural being you have to rule out design by natural means, including natural selection the "blind watchmaker". Also, once you say it's the…"
Pirate Bard commented on Yiggoto's blog post Does God Exist? Let's take the design view.
"How about the cosmological standpoint that we, as a species, are unsuited to live (as in would instantly die) in 99.999...% of the vast expanse of the universe (not to mention a goodly portion of this very Earth which was supposedly "created…"

"I think that we are no better (but perhaps much worse) than any other animal on this planet. Trouble is all the christians think god made them in his image and put the animals there for them to use/abuse. Worse still , they believe that if this…"

"Whoever said people were peaceful? I expect there is a correlation between dysfunctional people and faith but this family sound well wierd."
Yiggoto replied to Armand's discussion Christians feeling sorry for themselves.
"I got some Mormons today. I tried to explore issues around American Indians and DNA and how gods like to appear to one special person whose job it is to then convert the masses (Smith, Moses, Mohammed at al). We then got on to faith and I quoted Job…"

Yiggoto replied to Bradley Thomas Horton's discussion What was the turning point, in your life, that hepled you become an atheist?

Someone asked on my local forum, "Does God exist and if so, where is the proof? This was my response. View the thread here.
One only has to look at all the beautiful plants and trees to know that this couldn't have just happened. It needed intelligent design. What about an eye? How could that have just appeared? If a tornado hit a car breakers, it wouldn't leave an 'E Type' in its wake.…

If someone was brought up in a controlled environment where information was filtered and they were given zero information about god, how would their belief/value system evolve?
Does god have a way of communicating with people or has he devolved the spiritual continuence on the parents of the child to bring said child up in said faith? Isn't that a little lazy of him?
I wonder how many children who are brought up in faith A, sudenly denounce it and adopt faith B? The lack of… Continue

The danger of Islam over other religions
Posted on April 16, 2010 at 3:10pm 5 Comments 0 Likes
I may be misinformed here but my take on Islam is that it is the 'One true religion' and its followers have a duty to convert kaffirs or declare jihad on them (whatever the interpretation of that is). It is that black and white. As for apostates, I know of no other religion where some factions advocate death.

Some people need Faith at any cost

I had some Jehovas Witnesses call round a few days ago. There is a mission a couple of streets away. The conversation ended a draw but I think I had more of the ball. It was interesting to argue religion in real time for a change.
The bottom line finally arrived at was that they needed to believe in some higher power because without that, their life would have no meaning or purpose. So they choose to hang on to a belief because their reality could not exist without it. A friend of my… Continue

and how tragic and inexcusable it is that women and minorities have been oppressed these last two thousand years and more, especially by muslims and christians.
