Do you think they would immediately abandon their beliefs? Even as us, the ones with knowledge, knew for a fact that Harry Potter was not in fact god, would these kids just accept what we said? Of course not. The point of this is to show that religion is based on what people are told, not what is true.

And how do you know this for a FACT?

You dont, so stop talking s##t

Why dont we ban all sports? After all, when the Dodgers lost to the Giants, earlier this year, the Dodgers fan killed the Gians fan. If it wasnt for game of baseball, the fan wouldnt have been killed. Lets get rid of sports the, they are clealry the cause of evil in the world.......

Great logic.you have.


it's a lot more than that. you thinking it's just that is a problem...

have a good think about it...

In your next post I want you to define "analogy"...

Gotcha, hence you dodged the answer....If there was a forum theat actually believed Harry potter was true...There is no way, no chance, you, KK, System and the like, would spend more than 1 post saying they are all idiots....There is no way, you would spend all this time trying to convince them...

The reason? Because you know deep down that HP is not true, hence your inner securitiy you know its not true and no need to convince them.

But this is different isnt it?

They give credence to it all happening by luck, but when i tell them that the odds of me beating the Miami Heat by myself are better than life starting by chance, they ignore it, because they know how absurd it is....

They then start to go against mathematics and science and say if you have an "infinite past", anything is possible, true, but the problem is, it is mathmatically impossible to have an infinite past and it violates the second law of thermodynamics.......

So, once they are cornered, they dodge it or go go and break mathematical and scientific laws to defend their position...

I know some of what I said for a FACT. If we created a new world and told everyone Harry Potter was the bible, they would treat Harry Potter as god. That is FACT. They would not know about Christianity. That is FACT. What they would do when we told them Harry Potter wasn't real remains to be seen. We can postulate, but it is NOT fact.

Oh, and Miknicks is allowed to come in after 1800 posts and ask the same questions?

Again, for the atheists, different rules for different people.

You still don't understand what an analogy is, do you?  I'm still waiting for you to define it.

IT IS AN ANALOGY MORON!!!

Stop trying to answer what I said by talking about something else!!!

ANALOGYYYYY


By the way, of course I would go tell them how stupid they are for believing in HP.  What are you even talking about??

How?

When it says not to have sex outside marriage, if EVERYONE person in the world followed this rule, what do impact do you think it will have on the spread of aids and dead babies via abortion?

Oh real negative isnt it?

For this purpose, it does have to do with the amount of people that believe. The more people that believe in things that inspire them to do evil, the more of a problem it creates. So far, Harry Potter hasn't inspired anyone to do anything evil. Therefore, it is not affecting our lives. And to be honest, if people started arguing that Harry Potter was true and it gained enough of a following (like for example, 500 years from now when all references to the books' creation is gone), then we'd be doing the same thing to debunk that.

They had been married for 3 years.  She was in a terrible car accident.  After being rushed to the hospital and while she was being operated on she felt herself leaving her body. As she retold the story she said she was able to look down on her body as it was being operated on. She saw blood everywhere and saw the doctors and surgeons pronounce her dead. She said she felt the most peaceful presence surround her. She said she started heading for a light. she said a light so peaceful words will never be able to describe it. As she headed towards it a lady stepped in front of her. The lady told her it was not her time. Mary was lost. She had never seen this person in her life. She said she was not going back to that bloody mess. The lady said "please, it's not your time and my son needs you".  Mary woke up after her heart started beating again.  The first words from her mouth to her husband were "go get me a picture of your mother".  Her husband thought she was just confused and refused. She started yelling at him. He eventually went to the house and got an old picture out of storage of his mother.  He took it back to Mary. She cried and said that was the lady that told me to come back here.  She had been dead for thirty years and Mary had never seen her before. 


This is your miracle?  Do you understand that the brain can do some crazy stuff?  Out of body experiences are nonsense.

Good answer. 

Dont you see massive hypocrisy here?

God of the gaps is not allowed, but science of the gaps is allwed.

Just like we need emprical evidence for God to exist, but we dont need empricial evidence for aliens to exist.

Double standards a plenty here for the atheists...

Easily. The world would be a better place if the overall intelligence of the world was higher. People who believe in god are typically less intelligent than those who don't. People who don't believe in god look for answers to problems and explanations to things they don't understand rather than just attribute it to god. It would serve the world better if everyone sought to discover new things and understand already existing things better, rather than attribute it to magic.

We don't need empirical evidence for god either, we need circumstantial evidence. We need math. We need probability. We can calculate the odds of life on at least one other planet in the universe as almost 100%. We cannot calculate the odds of god's existence because we have no evidence whatsoever. Not even circumstantial. We have nothing. Also, aliens are 100% testable in theory. We could theoretically explore the entire universe and see if they exist. We could never see if god exists. It's not a double standard. It has to do with testability. Aliens don't defy the laws of physics. God does.

I hear you Rostos, that's why it's always fun to hear them spin their wheels on their own theories that are full of holes. 

Atheists sit around bashing God but when you get them to speak on their own theories, beliefs, hypothesis, they look just as stupid as anyone believing there is a greater power at work.

And Rostos, that's not say nonbelievers don't do evil things. But Stalin and Hitler murdered millions in the name of communism and fascism and the aryan race.

One thing that is indisputable fact about atheist. No one has EVER killed in the name of god not existing.

But you realize that we don't need to prove any theories. We are not making the claim that magic exists. You are. We don't exactly know so of course there will be holes in the theories. But at some point all of these theories will be proven or disproven. The god theory will never be proven or disproven. And since it cannot be proven or even supported to the point where it is more likely to be true than not, there is no reason for me or anyone to believe.
