Imporant Theological Question.

[DreamSparrow]

Amusing.

As a serious philosophical and theological issue, it might be easier to think of it in terms of whether God is capable of creating a three-sided square. Hopefully this better illustrates that it's a problem of the intrinsically impossible. By definition, all squares are four sided. A three-sided square cannot exist.

Similarly, if God is omnipotent and can create anything, an object which God cannot create is a confusion of definition, since you've already stated he can.

Christianity has a built-in defense system: anything that questions a belief, no matter how logical the argument is, is the work of Satan by the very fact that it makes you question a belief. It's a very interesting defense mechanism and the only way to get by it ---- is to take massive amounts of mushrooms, sit in a field, and just go, "Show me."

Fundamentalist Christianity - fascinating. These people actually believe that the the world is 12,000 years old. Swear to God. Based on what? I asked them.

"Well we looked at all the people in the Bible and we added 'em up all the way back to Adam and Eve, their ages: 12,000 years."

Well how fucking scientific, okay. I didn't know that you'd gone to so much trouble. That's good. You believe the world's 12,000 years old?

"That's right."

Okay, I got one word to ask you, a one word question, ready?

"Uh-huh."

Dinosaurs.

You know the world is 12,000 years old and dinosaurs existed, they existed in that time, you'd think it would have been mentioned in the fucking Bible at some point.

"And lo Jesus and the disciples walked to Nazareth. But the trail was blocked by a giant brontosaurus... with a splinter in his paw. And O the disciples did run a shriekin': 'What a big fucking lizard, Lord!' But Jesus was unafraid and he took the splinter from the brontosaurus's paw and the big lizard became his friend.

"And Jesus sent him to Scotland where he lived in a loch for O so many years inviting thousands of American tourists to bring their fat fucking families and their fat dollar bills.

"And oh Scotland did praise the Lord. Thank you Lord, thank you Lord. Thank you Lord."

Religious poeple are weak minded poeple

 

[McNab]

Maybe without religion some people are freaked by the idea that we're just organisms clinging to a rock hurtling through space, religion gives the masses something, some idea to cling to, some hope that there really is a light at the end of the tunnel.

If there nothing after the moment when the body dies, then Creation is pointless, therefore I think Something Lies Beyond, but it's not clouds and harps, or fire and brimstone.

 

[CaDDaFy]

Religious poeple annoy me they think there so right. I love getting into arguments with them, they have there feckin heads in the sand.

They live Pointless lives ( a short pamphlet writen by a idiot )

 

[CaDDaFy]

They carnt cope with the idea they may just be a virus with shoes. They dont have an all powerful devine being god who looks over them. And i'm tired of
this back-slapping "Isn't humanity neat?" bullshit.

And them car crash survivers who always say it was a miricle god must of been watching over me

Right yeah what ever if he could stopped your pointless insifnificant life from being ended surley he could of saved lennon, hendrix, & the rest



Humanity is a cancer eating away at this earth.

Question: I get Jesus freaks knocking at my door this time of the year, the guy is always some gimp, the woman with him looks like a Playboy centrefold, WTF? Do hotties align themselves with Christ?

If Jesus freaks come a knockin' at the door I find it interesting to tell them that you're either Buddhist, Agnostic or a worshipper of Satan. Ah, the looks on their faces....

This is NOT an important theological question....

A friend of mine was very nice to a couple of Jesus freaks once, sadly he forgot he was wearing a Slayer t-shirt with a bright red cross pointing downwards, the Jesus freaks didn't come back. True story.

Could god create a dick so big that not even he could suck it?

I'm all for allowing as much open discussion as possible.

Absolutely idiotic threads like this test the limits, not because I am offended or not, but because some members do take offense.

I think that, seeing you are on a porn targeted board in the first place, that members cannot expect to not be offended.

I do think, though, that stupid threads like this can have other repercussions.

I sort of agree. Intelligent debate on issues like this is worthwhile, but a lot of the posts in this thread feel like random rants that lack substance. Some actually made me cringe.

I can't see how anyone can find a tad of material in that statement that can be squeezed out for an intelligent debate. Sorry, I just don't see it. :dunno:

It's a version of the Omnipotence Paradox, obviously designed to amuse and offend. An intelligent debate might be possible if the statement was excised of the 'dick' and 'suck'.

I agree

 

[Imagine]

You do realize I hope that if we limit this board to intelligent discussion and topics that won't offend anyone, there's not going to be a lot of threads left. Yeah, the original question is one of the more ridiculous paraphrasings of the classic rock-bigger-than-he-can-lift argument I've seen, but last time I checked, stupidity wasn't against the law. Insofar stupidity goes, I've seen a lot worse than this.
