"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Religion is a story made up based on poor observations or deliberate lies made by ancient civilizations, modern con-artists, and religious psychotics that don't mesh well with their parent religions regarding the universe.

Science works with the evidence and extrapolates to the best degree of certainty what is true based upon it.

Is the big bang considered the start of time in our universe? I didn't think it was, but then, that's not my field.

Theories have evidence. Show me evidence, that doesn't involve the Bible (it could have been written as fiction) or a near death experience (could have been a subconscious putting up what's familiar).

Why should i follow a set of "rules" written in some old book by a hermit 2000 years ago? If there was a list of Hogwarts rules in a Harry Potter book should i randomly follow them to?


You can follow a set of rules, or you cannot follow a set of rules, the choice is yours. But if you're going to mock our religion, you should realize that you might lose our respect. Just like a person posting "let's lower taxes and invade Iran" would lose respect of military historians.

Proof or GTFO.


We're still allowed to advocate Faith on NSG, without GTFoing, last time I checked. Were the rules updated in the past 5 seconds?


Mavorpen wrote:
Soviet Canuckistan wrote:So thou shalt not kill isn't a good guideline for humanity, to respect thy neighbour, to respect creation, how are those not good rules.


"Thou shalt not kill" was broken throughout the whole damn Bible. Jainism and Buddhism hold true to that belief several times better than Christianity. Why should you respect your neighbor for no reason? "Leave me alone and I'll leave you alone" is how it's been for a long time. What "creation" are we respecting?


The original commandment, in the original writings, said: thou shalt not murder. It was later mistranslated as "thou shalt not kill". The translators, they have the capability to make errors, you know that, right?


Genivaria wrote:
Soviet Canuckistan wrote:Where's the proof there, show us some proof.

*cough*hypocrite!*cough*


Religion is based on Faith. Soviet Canuckistan is pointing that out, by requiring atheists to show proof. How does that make him a hypocrite?

You can't prove God. You can't disprove God. Religion is Faith based. Math is number based. History is story based. You don't demand Integral Calculus to be used by Civil War Scholars in filming documentaries, do you? Then why demand that something that's Faith based, be factually proven?
