| Okay....yes yes Debaser has returned!!! wow twice in one day??? wtf??? and smiley one if i didn't kno any better i would think you were patronizing me....but if you were or weren't it wouldn't phase me in the least either way. wtf is up with the balls line anyway? lol did ya make another trip to the dentist??? lol you don't want Debaser to come out and really 'play' do ya? cause Debaser plays a lot!!! That being said, like i stated in my original post I don't care what your faith is and how strong your faith is...just keep it away from me....and when i say 'you' I don't mean smileyone or Calena or anyone else..i'm talking about the people in my life here in my area of the world! I've tried and tried to put up with their attempts to make me like them all religious and churchgoing and all...and they have failed! miserably! I was raised Catholic...strict Catholic....kneel on brromsticks and pray Catholic if ya kno what i mean!!!! I changed because of certain events that occured during my life, but the same people meaning my relatives, friends, etc. have not. I do not believe in anything but myself. They all think that I am 'evil' but I have done nothing to reinforce their opinions about me. They constantly hound me to join them in prayer or go to church but I refuse. But they are persistent like mosquitos, you swat them away...but they just keep coming back! Haven't found the right bug spray yet, but when I do, I'll let you all kno meaning you all here in this thread know. Why do I always feel like I have to explain myself??? As 'they' would say "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!!!!!!" to reiterate...nothin against all you on BuddyTV...i just need to vent and I do it here cause i'm sick and tired of doing it out there....MINDS ARE MADE UP do ya get me? lemme kno now, Debaser goes to 'play' right smiley??? LMAO |

You had to know there had to be a reason for all my insanity..... I'm about tonight... chat to you later There is a cracking footie game on TV at the moment.... A charity England 11[ mix of celebs & professional footballers] against ROW [Rest of World 11 [celebs & Professionals],.... less then a minute into second half and ROW have just scored... Celebs include actors... Hugo Speer, some californian guy who was in SATC, bloke who played Issac Mendez in Heroes... as well as Chef Gordon Ramsey and a couple of singers and comedians... One of the guys from Westlife, Gareth Gates and some other chap... amongst others etc... International footballers include Figo, Romario, Di Canio, Jaap Stam, Shearer, Sheringham & David Seaman. Brian Lara & a couple of rugby players are also on the teams! Biggest cheer of the night so far was when the SATC guy, who I believed got it on with Kim what's her face in it... put a goal past Seaman!!! As I said cracking game!!!! 2-3 to ROW at the moment!!! I will have one eye on my TV for the next while.!!! All proceeds from this game go to Unicef Charity!!!! That guy who plays Issac Mendez part in Heroes is running circles around the professional footballers.... He's so close to scoring a goal... I can feel it!!! Fit guy.... Damn it... Shearer has just equilised for England again..... Oh Lordy... Ohhh now... actor who plays Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter is also now on... as is singer Craid David.... Oh now some actor from Lost has come on to play.... Best man not a footballer professional on the field by far is the guy from Heroes.... I am glued to this game and not a soul is on here to chat to me about it.... humbug to the lot of you.... Oh boy.... Craig David actually got man of the match..... Heroes bloke was well robbed!!!

I was raised Catholic too, but a more liberal version of it. The thing about atheists is, they don't recruit. Which may be a mistake, seeing as the religious people are highly organized and therefore a force to be reckoned with in political and sociological areas. In my theory atheists are mostly indiviualists who don't need that feeling of being part of a group and who pride themselves in thinking for themselves. Of course atheists have different opinions on topics, it's not like all of them have the same opinion to say, stem-cell research or tax rates, so it's difficult to organize them even if you wanted to. My point being, debaser, you don't have to fear me trying to convert you to anything, but from their POV it's only logical that they preach to you. I respect you for withstanding their attempts at brainwashing you! That said, what is this mysterious ball game????

On the contrary, I believe that fossil evidence proves a lot! For instance, according to the evolutionary theory, for even one species to change into another there would have to be thousands upon thousands of intermediary stages of development (by your own admission, evolution is an ongoing process that takes a long time), however there is little to no fossil evidence of any intermediary stages of even one species developmental evolution (i.e. humans). Not only that, we have fossil evidence that has been proven accurate that dinosaurs and man lived together. Quote:
*ahem* Accoding to scientific logical principle, there is no way to either prove that anything exists...such as God. By the same logical standards, there is also no way to disprove that anything exists...such as your FSM. So, then, how to be know what is and what is not? So glad you asked! According to these logical principles, we can only "prove" things by assuming they are or are not real based on varying degrees of probability. Thus we have this: According to scholars of all eras (regardless of religious background or lack thereof) the continued accuracy and reliability of the Bible, as an ancient text, is astounding as compared to every other ancient text known to mankind. It is equally astounding to them how over 40 authors managed to come up with a text that is as consistent as the Bible is in the first place. Disregarding all of that, we have the term "general revelation" which is the term used to describe the fact that people of every educational level can see from the order and complexity of the universe, that it is far more probable that intelligent design was involved. Even disregarding that we still have an 85% probability factor that through the lack of evidence to the contrary, it is the far more logical and probable answer that there is an intelligent designer. And therefore, using standard scientific logical principles, we have the conclusion that God is proven through probability, and that your FSM does not, also through probability. Nice try though...

Here's a joke that I enjoy: Two scientists approached God one sunny afternoon, looking very proud of themselves. They smirked at each other as they stood before Him. "Yes?" Said God. "We have decided that we don't need you, God," they said. "We can prove that you aren't a God." "Oh?" Said God, with a gleam in His eye. "Yes." Said the scientists. "We have become so advanced that we now know how to make man out of dirt, just like you did, therefore you are not a God." They smiled at each other, they had Him now! God considered their statements, and finally said, "Show me." One scientists bent over and gathered a handful of dirt. "Ah, ah, ah..." God interrupted, "Get your own dirt." LOL! I love that one. ![]() Quote:

And yet people have an inerrant need to have purpose (you remember the example I gave of the POW camp?). Therefore, a non-purposeful process that "created" beings who need to have purpose flies in the face of logic. I disagree, even by evolutionary standards, the process of conception is termed creating. Quote:

Still doesn't mean that God will use it again though. Quote:
As I stated, even scholars that spend their entire lives researching texts of all kinds still can't understand how the Bible can be as consistent and error proof as it is, but it is. Quote:
While denying human and civil rights is a part of persecution, a person can also be persecuted in their own church, by fellow believers. Quote:

a genetic form of human, nor a separate species, nor anything other than a regular human being, albeit being tempted with or engaging in perverse action. That's the plain and simple truth of it. Now, these feelings can be influenced by others, or by sinful actions of others (i.e. being raped as a child), but this is simply residual of sin, and sin always amplifies. Quote:

BTW, I love the little part about your kid. This is why the Bible says, "Lest ye have faith as a little child, for such is the Kingdom of Heaven." That's what He was talking about, the unbiased, unequivocal, unshakable belief of children! Quote:

So you say all humans who caught it in Africa from primates were gay? The perverted bastards were probably raping the poor apes! Quote:

Two teams... one from England... managed by a genuine football legend manager.... this year Harry Rednapp... and a team from the rest of the world... this year managed by the great Kenny Daglish!!! They are allowed one professional goalie, and three outfield footballer professionals and the rest must be made up from a team of celebs from the world of acting, singing, comedians, TV presenters, Chefs... etc...etc...etc... The below names were some of the big names playing in this match.... It's a good match generally... as usually with these things... like Live Aid etc... the celebs involved sometimes tend to be a little self praising in their quest to do the work etc... The run up to these things can be tiresome... but with this game... the guys who play it seem a little different on a whole.... They ut 100% into it and get inconsolable when they lose! Was the same case yesterday!!! Quote:

Best by far on the whole field!!! Quote:

Good looking chap though... He scored a goal... chipped it right over professional Keeper David Seaman.... I'm sure he'll die a happy man now... as every guy in the country has dreamt of doing that on occasions!!!! Quote:
Anyway... Calena... that is a bit about the game!!! Sorry for posting in wrong thread... I was just multi tasking last night, reading these posts and watching the game at the same time and posted in wrong thread...
