    Default Christianism and all the other religions are full of absurdities

    Ultimately, in reference to origins, there are only two choices. First, all came from something or someone capable of creating among everything else. Some conveniently call that someone God. Second, all came from nothing caused by nothing. The first one is completely absurd. Essentially, the argument of the theist is: "God does exist; he created everything.", but he is part of infinity; if he created the universe, he is not the whole universe, so he is part of it. Otherwise, he couldnt have created nothing, because everything would be him! How can a part create the whole? I tell you how: in no way can a part create the whole, it is an entirely illogical and absurd idea.

    Theism does not need to be disproved, it is logically absurd for a finite mind to believe in the existence of an infinite mind. How can you believe in an infinite mind, when to be true the whole universe would be that mind, and then it couldnt have created anything? I ask those especially with dogmatic theistic principles. Is infinity a part of both science and math? If infinity does exist, how do you define a finite universe with a prophetized ending? Where does it end? Do you bump into some sort of four satanic riders? That is completely absurd too.

    Theists may point out the contradictions in the theory of the movement of gut gas in a tetraedrical nanocarbon tube bottle in the rings of saturn as evidence that science is not true, offering the only other option is false (nevertheless it also contradicts infinity, as there is always at least a third option); they may also claim that since "nobody can disprove God exists, it does exist indeed" (which is a circular argumentation), they will never find the answer question to infinity and the first cause, AKA a natural proccess that follows the laws of science, because they dont want to look for it. An open mind is needed to accept the completeness of reality.

    Actually I think religion is absurd, but of course this is a parody.

    Arch was being sarcastic, not serious, so there's no need to take it as such.

    Ah, well I'm sure a Christian would have come along and said the same thing more eloquently anyhow.

    i too beleive that all organized religions are absurd.
    ive no quarrel with faith because there is essentially nothing that can be done about it, and it alone causes not many problems, but organized religion absolutely devastates the human minds capacity to make choices on an individual level. its a form of slavery, entrapping its victims in a web of irrational fear that is as infectuous as a sexually verbally transmitted disease

    You made your mistake there.

    The universe is actually finite. Very much so. If it weren't, then the big bang would be impossible.

    Theists, like myself, believe that God exists without the universe. He is infinity. He is the whole and the universe is only part of it.

    Thus, now, we fall back to the whole "theism can't prove God exists except through personal experiences that cannot be verified (or in my case, cases of extreme luck in near-death experiences), versus atheist cannot disprove God exists." Alternatively, there are those special few kinds of atheists who believe that there could be a God, but yet choose to not believe in any religion, therefore they fall back on the classical sense of atheism--the opposite of theism. More of semantics really.

    I don't see them as likely, in fact, some of the stories in the Bible are just damn crazy.

    But I withold judgement on whether they are right or not...

    Actually the universe is infinite in volume, and time... it isnt infinite only in mass, but we dont really know. If he is infinity, he is you and all the people. Something infinite will be everything, without exceptions, so a killers mind would be also god mind. Also, if he is the whole, how it is possible that he created the part. What neccessity in that? It doesnt has any sense.

    Well in this you have reason, generalizations are bad. But I think you were a bit biased when you said heretically empowered papacy...

    This is a parody, BTW, and I didnt intended to make a true critic of religions. It is only because of the other thread...

    hhahahaha im sure you did, we are all impressed, dont worry! But then we still have the inquisitions, crusades and many many other wars to go over, even though irelands religion wars got to a point where your quasi movement save doesnt apply at all.

    PS a form of slavery i refer to consists of peer pressure which christianity is a endorser and abuser of.

    Then abolish fashion, clothing in general, property, and whatever activity which is performed voluntarily beyond eating porridge, defecating and making love. Then there will be no more peer pressure.
