just a quickie ,cos its Sunday night and we won yesterday.

A  god ?

any God 

then prove it !

I dont believe 

I don't believe in an all knowing deity. I do think that being self aware as a species that its important we have some form of humanity. For me it's about history- for others its something more spiritual for their narrative.

I'm also not on board with those who just shut down people who have faith.

Because that is what the teachings indicate. They don’t say follow said god because they are a cunt do they. 
 

But thats not the question is it

The question is whether theres something somewhere

 And I don't understand why it makes someone "a bit of a dick" to point out - with conviction - that they don't exist.

Cos nobody knows

Claiming you do makes said person a bit of a dick....IN MY OPINION

Like i say, i THINK its probably bollocks

But im aware i dont KNOW for certain

 

People can believe whatever fucking nonsense they want. The problems arise when they try to impose those beliefs on others, or try to make their beliefs unquestionable.

You don't KNOW for certain that the Sun will rise tomorrow. But if you claimed it won't, and I said "you're talking bollocks" because the vast, vast amount of evidence we have says it will, would that make me a bit of a dick IN YOUR OPINION?

The most laughable one for me is 'Intelligent Design'. "How could this all come from nothing? There MUST have been a creator!!".

Then where did the fucking creator come from?

Is absolutely where I’m at

If I had the slightest religious or belief bone in my body I’d be a Sikh. Their outlook on everything is rather nice based on those that i know

*I’ve no doubt that someone in here will tell me that they are utter cunts though

Wouldn't go that far. If someone says, with conviction, that Leprechauns or Faeries or Winged Unicorns don't exist, does that make them a bit of a dick?

My go-to discussion point when talking to someone who believes would be to ask about their belief of such stories as Thumbelina, Rapunzell, Gruffalo, etc. After all, these are stories written in books, just as everything to do with God, Jesus, Allah, Shiva, Ganesh, etc.

The religious folk generally hide behind my ridiculousness.

Sikhs are utter cunts.

The old thing of, if there is a god, why this, why that..

God can't stop bad people doing bad things, can't stop the world, etc

Believing in Christ, believing in God, gives you the strength to deal with these things. Christianity has moved a long way from blaming God etc

"Cast your burden upon the Lord and He will sustain you;
He will never allow the righteous to be shaken" Psalm 55:2

People are right to question, the bible even shows this.. Religion can't exist without opponents. 

"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light without Darkness". Corinthians 6:14

 

Nope. A massive load of bollox.

But, and it's a big fucking but, if it gets you through the night, fill your fucking boots.

But, another big fucking but.

Me and other like minded folk are happy for you to go about your business - just don't try and ram it down my throat.

That was probably a bit too sweary for a religious discussion, but fuck it,

Fucking hell boys, been sharing the Sputnik tonight?

And this is the word of the Lord...

Except no!  No it isn't. It's the word of some geezer that translated the bible into English or,  if it was a decent translation, the bloke who wrote it all down in the first place in whatever language. 

Was God just practicing with the dinosaurs then?

Wonder if they all went to church or kicked off with eachother about which version of God the followed.

Reckon those little Raptor cunts on Jurassic Park were deffo Islamics

Which nobody will ever know. Close forum 

I believe in something. Not exactly sure what and how that looks. I just feel there is a little bit more to all of this.

I can’t prove it and wouldn’t dismiss other opinions but I’ll go with my beliefs as it works for me.

I’m very aware I could well be wrong.

This is my issue with religion. My mother’s church was / is like a cult. The minister there when my dad passed away was ace. A thoroughly great bloke and the church folk were all just going about their business praying and generally being nice. The new fella was driving nothing but cult like stuff and definitely trying to maximise his income.

The large dinosaurs were western culture, ruled the world cos they was biggerer than others. Raptors are eastern culture snappy little cunts but fuck me they could be nasty and breed so they gradually took over despite the efforts of the old dinosaurs on Trex News. 
 

Here Endeth the lesson.

A rarity coming right up. I agree with Cheese.

Why do cunts see fit to try to ram their version down your throat by coming to your front door; accosting you outside sports events; placing their loony leaflets in your mailbox? Wouldn't be in the hope of trying to access your dosh would it? 

Just fuck off - believe what you want and I will do the same. Fairy tales written by primitive savages millennia ago have no place in my world.

In my world it is not Freddie Hill. It is John Byrom.

I don't belive in religion but I'm certain that a Robin that comes to my garden every Sunday morning is my Mum.

#Hypocrite

(I'm obviously not in any of the other days and refuse to believe it's there every day)

freakshows 

I increasingly believe in the demiurge 😁
