Hello Brian. Ad hominen again?

>> "Dio possibly believing in an eternally expanding and collapsing universe(?)"

That is not what I said. Cosmological theories begin at the Plank time, not from zero. Educate yourself.

>> "Dio, when did people think the earth was flat?"

There, I only selected christian quotes. Have fun.

>> "Does the Bible teach ALL diseases, etc. are divine judgement?"

It voids Janna's argument as long as YOU believe that ONE is.

>> "belief in God and belief in an iPad orbiting Saturn are not analogous"

I am not talking about belief, I am talking about proving the existence of imaginary things with absolutely no physical, factual or logical evidence to support them. You claim your imaginary friend is related to the nature of this world... then prove it. If you succeed I will be able to prove the existence of an iPad in orbit around Saturn.

>> "A more accurate position would be to say that noone can say for sure if there is or is not."

Can you prove that there is an iPad in orbit around Saturn right now? No, and that does not mean there might be one.

>> "There is evidence for belief( something had to start the Big Bang)"

That is not what the theory says. There is no start. Also you suggests that the evidence for belief is due to the existence of things we do not know (yet). It is fascinating how invisible magical beings take refuge in the shadows of ignorance, isn't it? Inventing a supernatural entity then putting it behind everything we ignore is by itself an ignorant thing to do.

>> "just remember that the history of mankind bends towards belief in a higher power..."

People use to think that the earth was flat, that the stars were fixed in the sky and that diseases were divine punishments too...

You took the defense of theists and their spiteful "rational" views of homosexuals, while arguing against atheists. And now you want to "stop putting down the other side and seek the good in all of us." I think we do not share the same definitions for the word "rational".

bradgez,

>> "Why is it that atheists come at religious people with such mean, spiteful rhetoric" (...) "The Bible and many other religious texts hold a lot of wisdom if you seek it."

Let's read the bible, shall we?

Lev. 20:13 - And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

So, who is talking about mean and spiteful rhetoric now? Is that an example of wisdom?

The bible does not condemn homosexuality, it condemns same-sex relations... It is technically correct, though the difference is really trivial. Anyway, why should we care about poorly narrated (and translated) fables from the stone age? Why is this child-like mentality of sexually repressed middle eastern goat shepherds still out there?

As OUDad said, there are no gods, fairies, trolls, ghosts or trans-dimensional magical beings, just like there is no Santa Claus or invisible pink unicorn living in the basement of the Bizzell library.

>> "2, funny you (the religious side) would cite the genome project since it did prove we evolved from the same branch as chimps."

SPOT ON.

>> "My prayer is you wake up from your delusion..."

Facts, logic and reason have well-documented atheistic liberal tendencies. You keep praying, and I will keep thinking.

@Arafat,

mustafa is afflicted with an acute mental derangement, maybe paranoid schizophrenia. He has been trolling here for at least a couple of years, as well as sending quite a few uncalled threats by PMs himself.

Anyway, I made a Greasemonkey script that automagically blast his comments away from the OU Daily's website. I am pleased to inform you that I am going to add your name on it.

Fellow atheists,

Just sit back and watch these madmen kill each other off.

There are too many problems at home to start poking at what is wrong in Baluchistan or in Kandharachik. If you care that much about playing GI Joe and searching for invisible WMDs, well, you are free to go there... alone.

If Glenn Beck was around in 1962... no doubt he would have said that Rosa Parks was a racist who hates white bus drivers, or that the the Civil Rights Movement was another Marxist plot to destroy America. In the end, he is just a clown with magic underpants.

As long as the daily is not the "University of Oklahoma baptist church independent student voice", everything will be fine.

@Arafat

"Nowhere in the Old Testament does it say 'Kill all non-Christians (or Jews) until yours is the only religion on Earth.'"

It is not in the qur'an either.

@Zen_King

al quaeda is to islam what the westboro baptist church is to christianity.
