@doaftheloaf It sounds like you grew up in your parents religion but never knew God personally. What I know is that God is active in your life, and if you paid attention, you might see that. If you want to know God, you need to turn your life over to Him. You need to be born again.
This song appears on my playlist between a Pac and BIG freestyle and a Crooked I freestyle. I don't think I can give you a higher compliment than that.
@Alexandersync I'm glad you like it. The trillions of years was just me using poetic license. The universe is roughly 14 billions years old. My larger point is that we humans haven't been here for most of the universe's existence and it was doing just fine without us.
It sound ok, but that white guy in the background f**ked up the whole song!! I just like the beat...not the words!! "It's your way or the highway?"" LMAO!! Sounds evil/selfish!
@TrueW0man247 I'm getting a great response from this song (as well as my others) but you're welcome to your opinion. Saying that it's my way or the highway simply means I make my own choices in this world and don't depend on any book written by primitive people, translated and interperted by other men. I would suggest that you didn't get the point because you don't AGREE with the point.
@TrueW0man247 The quote that "That white guy in the background" uses, is from The Matrix. The Smiths, all together, say "Purpose that connects us. Purpose that pulls us, that guides us, that drive us. It is purpose that defines, purpose that binds us" - and Mr. Smith was white, so I actually see it as quite suiting.
@TrueW0man247 If you think this song is me telling the world "Im better" I don't know how to respond to that. Especially when there are thousands of other rap songs out that brag about what they have or how great they are. I don't rap about that sort of stuff. I don't rap about cars, woman, guns or going to the club. Sorry. The message is that no one should make decisions for you. That you should first build your intellect then use your intellect to make decisions.
@TrueW0man247 the message of this song is that we make our own purpose; we decide what meaning our lives have, instead of having it dictated to us from on high.
@TrueW0man247 ahahaha then what do you call the rap that talks about how much money, cars , and clothes they have and selling crack and weed. Shut your mouth because you just make yourself sound ignorant
@TrueW0man247 ahahaha then what do you call the rap that talks about how much money, cars , and clothes they have and selling crack and weed. Shut your mouth because you just make yourself sound ignorant
My son who is only one and a half gets excited when I play this video. He points to his chest when you say, "I make my own purpose". I hope he does, he certainly won't be brainwashed with religious crap growing up like I was.
@deanosumo just make sure he learns to think for himself. let him choose what to believe, of course, but teach him to use logic, reason, and evidence as his guides instead of emotion, popularity, and blind faith. seems you're doing okay so far. best wishes to you and your son.
It's about we have more people with meaningful lyrics for people to jam to. Granted this isn't mainstream, but I've always felt that the underground movement was light years ahead in talent. Big Ups from a fellow artist and Atheist. One.
i said it was arrogant and incorrect to state that we were the centre of the universe. it's incorrect because the earth, the solar system, the galaxy, and space itself is constantly in motion, and the universe does not expand according to where the earth is in it; the universe wouldn't be bothered even slightly if the planet we live on ceased to exist and would go on expanding as if nothing had happened. the earth-centred universe hypothesis is laughable at best.
@doaftheloaf Oh sorry i thought when you said "but it's arrogant, and incorrect, for one to state that it's here and always has been." i thought you meant the universe, and when most people talk about the beginning of the universe I'm used to hearing an argument for a creator... my bad man... I just hate it when people insist there MUST be a creator, and they make this assumption based on their human knowledge of which is severely limited compared to what there is to know...
@IronicAtheist that's okay. i probably reacted a bit harsher than i should have. we all good now?
one thing you can be sure of, you won't hear me arguing FOR a god's existence. until there's credible evidence on that front i'm gonna remain an atheist.
the truly wise always have more questions than answers, and yes, there's more we don't know than we do. way more.
@doaftheloaf Yep we are cool :D and yea I've been laying low on the whole debating seen lately anyways, because it's getting really annoying not getting anywhere with these people, i mean i would love for them to bring a compelling argument that makes me reconsider things instantaneously but they just never succeed, and they never even succeed in defending their points, probably because they assume so much that their burden of proof is so large, it might be larger then America's debt :P
@IronicAtheist I can certainly relate to that. It gets frustrating because they are so convinced that their arguments are airtight. The truth is they assume so many things that before you can even get to anything with substance, you have to repair their thinking.
@rationalwarrior I hope y'all GU# guys found the best way to go about it. Unfortunately due to being raised to believe this stuff it may not be "repairable" because their logic may not be broken. they are a form of "brainwashed" so therefore it's not broken, it is corrupted by stunting their thinking. Therefore they may need things to be explained in ways that are easy on THEIR level to understand and yet retain it's solidity... Damn what is this world coming too? Having to "teach" adults!
@IronicAtheist well, i used to believe that shit, and now i don't, for obvious reasons. i decided truth was more important to me than faith. didn't take long to realize at that point that christianity was a pile of shit.
but i'm just saying, there's hope. i do realize the enormity of the task.
@doaftheloaf Well so did i, but neither of us obviously took it as undeniable and denied anything that we felt "threatened" our belief. People always say religion gives people hope, they do not realize it is false hope, it is unnecessary and the only reason they need to hang on to it, is like a child who's parents lie about where their pet went just to give the kid hope the animal is alright. The only necessary hope is that "we can", that we can do anything and make this a better world.
It says there was a gap inbetween two different worlds, a fire and an ice world, and when they combined they formed a cow. That isn't a beginning to time.
Just because they're not universal measurements has no bearin on whether the bible is true or not. Earth is the centerpiece of creation so it is expected that the bible refers to local time. The bible was written by man, for man, but inspired by God.
@blurryshiny No sir that is your interpertation of what the Eddas is talking about. And just like every other Christian you choose to read it literally but when it comes to the text you follow it's a mixed bag of literal and symbolic...whenever it suits the reader. Might I suggest you look into some of the commentary about the mythos by authorities such as Elsa-Brita Titchenell. Now you don't have to do all of that if you don't want to but don't assume a literal interpertation for the story.
@rationalwarrior I held it to the same standard I hold the bible to, literal interpretation. Matters of history are not written entirely in metaphors. I will examine the interpretations, but so far I find the evidence very unconvincing.
@blurryshiny cont. Earth is not the centerpiece of the universe. Earth is a speck in a sea of stars and a vastness so overwhelming it boggles the mind of modern science and certainly the mind of primitive sheepherders with their post bronze age desert scribbling. The fact is you stated that the bible spoke of the beginning of all time just because of the first sentence. It tells you nothing else. No deep meaning. This is the equvilent of "Once upon a time" in any fairytale written.
@rationalwarrior In the days of the bible, people thought you could count the number of stars in the sky. The bible said they are more numerous than the sand in all the seas and couldn't be counted. The vastness of the Universe does not prove that Earth is not the center. There is also scientific evidence for this, in quantitized red shifts, which shows the Milky way is at the center of the Universe. Search on youtube for Quantized Red Shift
@blurryshiny Even if that is true about the milky way (I don't know that it is I'll check) that says nothing about the Earth itself. The Earth is a speck. Previously you said that the bible was written about Earth so trying to shift it to the milky way galaxy (a far bigger construct) is moving the goal post and contradicting what you said.
@rationalwarrior The quantized redshifts only appear from our location outward to about a distance of 2 million light years, that is why they're significant. Any further and you wouldn't see it. I am not at all trying to move goal posts, but if we're dealing with the question on a galactic scale, the Milky Way is the obvious landmark.
@blurryshiny One more thing.There is no centre of the universe! According to the standard theories of cosmology, the universe started with a "Big Bang" about 14 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. Yet there is no centre to the expansion; it is the same everywhere. The universe is not expanding out from a centre into space; rather, the whole universe is expanding and it is doing so equally at all places, as far as we can tell.
@rationalwarrior since space itself is expanding all the time, a physical centre of the universe would have to always be changing. also, i wonder if that's even possible in a universe whose curvature is open or flat. also, what if our universe is infinite in spatial extent? then a "middle point" is impossible.
i don't even feel the question is important to cosmology, where the centre of the universe is. but it's arrogant, and incorrect, for one to state that it's here and always has been.
@doaftheloaf "and incorrect" actually it is more arrogant to say THAT, sure the universe we KNOW today might be highly probably to have had a beginning, but thanks to multiverse theory and wormholes it's possible the universe we are in now, is made of scraps from another universe... thus just goes to show even the universe wasn't made from scratch... and either way, humans don't know everything so when you say "and incorrect" i want 100% solid, direct and undeniable evidence for this...
@IronicAtheist i wasn't talking about the beginning of the universe or wormholes or the multiverse. you would have done better to pay attention and address something i actually said before leveling your criticism. is it arrogant for me to state the earth is roughly spherical instead of flat?
just as on the surface of the earth, all observers are at the center of their observable world (limited by the horizon), the center of the observable universe is wherever the observer is, by definition. there is no physical significance to that location other than the fact that the observer is there. in the case of the universe, the field of view is limited by the fact that the distant, early universe was/is opaque to light.
@blurryshiny Nasa refutes this claim about the red shift only appearing from our location. This is direct quote from their site "The current cosmological model of the Universe supposes that our position within the Universe is typical, not special. We are not located at the center of the Universe, but are rather taking part in its global expansion." They are the ones doing the work, equations, observations and experimentation. They're more credible then sheepherders with no telescopes.
@blurryshiny "In the beginning , the heavens and earth were still one and all was chaos. The universe was like a big black egg, carrying Pan Gu inside itself." This is how the4 Chinese creation myth. It contains those 3 magic words just as Genesis does. "In the beginning". This concept is not unique at all. You say you have studied them all yet you missed this. I can't blame you though. There are thousands of stories like these. But you don't believe this story...huh?
@rationalwarrior This story isn't talking about time having an absolute beginning since it is talking about a Creation from prior material. Only Genesis posits this "creation ex-nihilio" with an absolute beginning to time from no prior material.
@blurryshiny The bible says nothing about creating any thing out of thin air. There is no qoute in Genesis that suggest that. It merely says he created the heavens and the Earth. There's no mention of whether he created it from pre existing material or not. Judging by how the legend says we were created it would make more sense if there was material before hand. After all according to the myth humans were created from clay or dust of the Earth. So you take everything in the bible as literal?
@rationalwarrior Creation ex-nihilio is what the scientific evidence seems to ultimately indicate. On that basis I think Genesis a better match, and I don't think the account you mentioned matches up even metaphorically. The entire point was to show that you can whittle the amount of Gods down to very few, and it isn't a question of Jesus vs. 1,000,000 other Gods. There are a million wrong answers to 1+1 by analogy. Yes, I believe the bible is literally true.
@blurryshiny Although I cannot do it exhastively in the comment section I can show you how it can and has been interperted to have scientifc relevance. As I said it all depends who is interperting it and for what reason. You see how you read all of that something from noting stuff from 1 verse? Believe me it can and has been done.Nothing to mention the fact that there are some serious problems with the whole Genesis account. How do you think you can use science to explain it then run to magic
@blurryshiny In the chinese account it says "In the beginning , the heavens and earth were still one and all was chaos." This can be interperted to follow the current model that we have. All matter was condensed together. As a matter of fact this quote tells us more the a simple "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
Atheist rap, that is a new one on me. I have to say you are talented, so kudos on the well produced video.
So, how can you be sure that you make your own purpose? How do you know that you aren't doing everything according to schedule? How would you be able to tell the difference?
It seems like you are saying God didn't live up to your expectations, therefore He doesn't exist. Do you think perhaps it could be that you haven't lived up to your responsibilities?
@blurryshiny Not really understanding your assertions here. What responsibilities have I neglected? I am married with children take good care of my family and have stopped all criminal activity in my life. It sounds as if you're projecting some internal conflict into what the songs about. Also your assertions work from the assumption that "god" is real, which I certainty don't believe is true. Here's an idea, ask me WHY I don't believe in any gods instead of assuming the reason.
@blurryshiny cont. So let's play the "how do you know" game. How do you know that your life and purpose wasn't put together by the Moirae (the fates) of Ancient Greek religion? How do you know that it wasn't the Norns who gave you your purpose? Do you see how these are completely irrelevant questions? The only reason you believe in what you do is because you were taught it by others. Has any god ever told you any of it or was it other humans with their books of myth?
@rationalwarrior Logic helps here. First, if God has revealed Himself, only one of the religions is true. Second, we can narrow down the list of Gods to those making creation claims. Third, we can match up those claims to the scientific evidence of creation. Out of any of them, only the judeo-christian account claims time had an absolute beginning, which matches the evidence from the hawking-penrose theorum.
@blurryshiny First no god has revealed himself to me at no time in my life even when I was relgious. You merely assert that he revealed himself to you and expect us to buy into it. Second numerous gods and god stories have creation myths. Third there is no scientific evidence that proves creation. That is a subjective conclusion of the available data and I might add, not a conclusion that the data gathers have even proposed. The only honest answer is we don't know. You choose to believe.
@rationalwarrior Well, my experience seems opposite of yours. I grew up secular and was formally an agnostic materalist. I saw no evidence for spirit and thought religious people were delusional. Then God showed me He was there, much to my surprise, and He led me to Christianity. So I don't have any choice but to believe. You say "I don't know", but I say you could find out today. If you prayed to Jesus and asked Him to show you the truth, He would do it.
@blurryshiny It always amazes me how theists act as if those of us that are atheists have never prayed. I am a 42 year old man who was a religious person most of my life. Second it is false to assert that the biblical account is the only myth that speaks about the beginning. Have you ever read the Enuma Elish? Any of the African creation myths? Or the Norse myth which speaks of in the beginning there was a void called Ginnungagap? Which btw literally means beginning gap.
@rationalwarrior I didn't say that only the bible account spoke about the beginning, I said that only the bible mentions that time had an absolute beginning, which is found nowehre else in any other creation account. This means it uniquely matches the evidence we have from science.
As far as prayer, it would be arrogant for me to try to assume what you do in your life. What I am saying is, Jesus will show you the truth if you ask Him. I am saying that God isn't far away from any of us.
@blurryshiny I don't think you have studied enough of them. Because Norse mythos clearly speaks about a gap before time. Also the biblical account is centered around time on Earth. I only deals with time as we measure it on Earth. Our time is measured by solar and lunar cycles. These are not universial measurements because the numbers of hours in a day varyt from planet to planet dependiong on their orbit and distance from the sun. The biblical account is clearly man made.
"I saw no evidence for spirit and thought religious people were delusional. Then God showed me"
So, some being showed YOU, what makes YOU so special that millions of others weren't granted that same luxury? And what of the others who claim to have a similar experience as yours but instead were led to religions other than Christianity? But..What if YOU were being delusional? Or maybe those evil atheist MATERIALISTS were just denying the evidence or were being misled by the devil...
@TurboDally Nothing makes me special. All I can say is that I was searching for the truth, and was open-minded about it. I think God rewarded that, not that I earned it in any way. As I have seen, there are two supernatural forces at work in this world, that which is from God and that which isn't. As a former materialist, I was very surprised to find there is a spiritual reality. What I have observed is that material reality is just a veil, which conceals a much larger truth.
@blurryshiny As an addition to the previous post...even if you could somehow prove that a creator or creators exist with the data it still woudn't prove YOUR specific deity. The only argument you are making is for the deistic god. This is a common tactic and I call it out as soon as I see it being used. It's bait and switch. So argue for the existence of your theistic personal god.
@rationalwarrior Well I did note that out of all the creation accounts, only the judeo-christian one says that there was a beginning to time. Therefore, if time had a beginning, which it did according to the hawking-penrose theorum, it narrows down the list of Gods to one. If you want something very specific to Jesus, there is a lot of data for the Star of Bethleham. There is also an extra-biblical account noting an unusual period of darkness during the day of the crucifixion
"only the judeo-christian one says that there was a beginning to time"
You saying this only demonstrates that your reading of world religions isn't very varied. I recommend you spend some time studying religions other than the one you believe in- hint: religions present in Asia.
And even IF, IF only the Judeo-Christian-Islamic religions were correct on the time issue- that doesn't mean the rest of the scripture is correct.
@TurboDally I have studied them and there aren't any that make a statement that time had a beginning. If you can find any let me know. No, it doesn't mean the rest of scripture that is correct, but it does uniquely confirm it.
@blurryshiny it seems like you are reading into it stuff that ain't there. i wonder if it has ever crossed your mind that maybe there are really people in this world who don't believe in any god and have well-thought-out reasons for doing so.
unless there's evidence to the contrary, it's more rational to assume we make our own purpose; you too, although you don't seem to realize it. you pass the buck to some magic man in the sky so you don't have to bother with the responsibility.
@doaftheloaf That has crossed my mind because i used to be one of those people. I became convinced because God showed me He is there. Also, this idea that I don't take responsibility is a false one. Jesus set a much higher standard for responsibility than the world demands. It is very hard to live up to that standard. What I will say about evidence is that if you want to know about Jesus, you can ask Him in prayer to show you the truth and He will do it. He isn't far from any of us.
@blurryshiny you take responsibility for making your own purpose? here i was under the impression you went along with whatever you thought god's purpose for you was.
why should i ask someone who i don't believe exists to make himself real to me? if he expects something from me, shouldn't he come to me? it would at least show he exists and we could get somewhere.
what is your evidence that there is a god, and that it is your god?
@doaftheloaf Well see he thinks that his evidence is his personal experience. He thinks that if we just do what he did all questions will be answered. He thinks that no atheist has ever done that before.
@rationalwarrior i was a christian until about five years ago. i can't count how many times i asked him to reveal himself to me. since i'm an atheist now, you can guess how many times that prayer was answered. it's one of the reasons i am an atheist - the silence from the other end.
any god that exists is welcome to come to me and say hello. and even plead his case for why i should follow him.
with every day that passes i find it less likely a god exists. his time is running out.
@rationalwarrior I think God will provide the evidence, as He has for me. I think if you ask God for the truth, you will get it. I am sure some atheists have done this before, but there are a number of factors. Were they sincere? Did they receive evidence and ignore it? Or, is it that God may reveal Himself at a later time?
@blurryshiny If this god is as all knowing he knows what it will take for every individual to accept it. The whole cop-out of you have to be sincere is ludicrous. First he is powerful enough to have no limitations but he is limited in how he makes himself known? I don't need to be sincere to have gravity demonstrated to me. If god is so evident then what does myh state of mind have to do with it at all.
@rationalwarrior God is Holy. If you wanted a meeting with the president of the united states, would you call up the white house and start making demands? That would get you nowhere. You would need to be very respectful, and you would have to go through the proper channels and be on your very best behavior. So how much more respect should you show to the Creator of the Universe? Sincere, as in, approaching Him with humility and not making demands but sincerely wanting to know Him.
@blurryshiny There's a couple of problems with this analogy. One, god allegedly created us with a curious mind. 2, He put humans here and refuses to show himself. 3. He allows other humans to misinterpert mistranslate and misuse his "word" in order to control others. Why should anyone trust another human who hasn't used a consistent method that ALL of us can use to get to the truth? He has allowed people to harm others IN HIS NAME. Plus he created us with emotions. He should expect it.
@blurryshiny There's nothing holy about a character who endorses slavery and orders one group of his children to kill another. Or takes a man (Job) and ruins his life on a bet. Or is so dogmatic about being prayed and begged or is so vain that he created people with inherent limitations but then judges them by the same limitations. It's not reasonable to punish people for eternity for finite crimes. To be so arrogant that one of the inpardonable sins is to say you don't believe in him.
1. i know the president exists. god's existence is questionable at best.
2. if a god is going to start making demands of me, he has to prove his existence. otherwise i'm just going to assume that people are making these demands in his name.
3. if god doesn't respect me enough to show up, he doesn't deserve my respect.
4. he's had my whole life to show and hasn't done it, most of which time i was a believer.
@doaftheloaf I take responsibility for the choices I make, and I follow the opportunities that God provides to me. I'll ask you this question..if God does exist, would you want to know about it? If it was Jesus, would you follow Him?
There are many good arguments for the existence of God, and specifically, Jesus Christ. There are logical arguments, arguments from history, archaelogy, morality, prophecy, etc. It might be hard to discuss them in the comments though.
@blurryshiny All of those things you mention are open to interpertation. This is why denominations disagree to the meaning. You thinking you have the right one is the same as the next person who thinks he is correct. It's all subjective. And yes if god does exist then I would want to know. I have questions that only he/she/it can answer and I don't trust the faith of other men. It has been used to corrupt and control. There is no reason to believe men on these matters.
@rationalwarrior Most demoninations agree on the fundementals, but widely differ in things like eschatology. Yes there are many interpretations but only one truth as to what happened, and what Jesus meant, and much of the bible is very straight forward in its meaning. What you're advocating is relative truth vs absolute truth.
It's good that you are still open to the idea of God. I don't blame you for being suspicious, which why I advocate you bypass man and ask God directly.
@blurryshiny if god exists, yes, i want to know it. because i care about what is true, not just what feels good. would i follow jesus if he was god? that's another question. belief and allegiance/worship are entirely different things. jesus would have to earn my loyalty.
what are these good, logical arguments you speak of? can you give me one that most atheists haven't heard and completely refuted?
@doaftheloaf No matter who he is he still has to answer these questions. Can you imagine if you had a neglectful parent who did nothing for you your whole life then pops up all of a sudden demanding respect? Not likely to happen. Explain where you've been for all of this time and why you let me and my brothers and sisters wallow in filth, death, diease as well as our own ignorance.
I got a little something that I got to mix down, it was a song that I was working on... I made the mistake of recording the instruments before I had finished writing the lyrics. Now it has been sitting on my Tascam DP-01 hard-drive for almost a year, and I was thinking you might be able to use it. It's about 4 minutes and change, a reggae beat at around 80 BPM, with a pretty nice bassline and very chimey sounding clean guitars. If I upload it will you use it? I can also email a WMA. Let me know.
@AdamRainStopper Sure I would love to hear what you have. I think you shoud upload it and then I can rip it mp3. I know how it is to start something and can't finish it. I have plenty of unfinished tracks lol
Awesome. I love that you're using this music medium in such an intelligent way. I wish I could hear something that's even one tenth as intelligent as this on the radio.
I love the Youtube bot's choice of commercials here. In the video, it's a Heavy Metal merchandise shop, and on the right it says "Christian policy for a christian Germany" by some obscure and totally irrelevant conservative party.
Wow dude...do you have a CD yet? If you cant send the link, tell us how to search for it. I know I can rip an MP3 from the video, but I prefer to vote with my wallet.
I love it! I usually prefer 60's rock from Beatles, Doors, Stones and Dylan, but I'm completely hooked on your music, and I just recently discovered Greydon Square as well, and his albums are amazing. Can't wait for you to release an album, Tombstone! How about collaborating with Greydon on a full album? ;)
@TheLacedaemonian300 A version of it is. Im having a problem uploading the video version. If you go to my reverbnation site and click on my store you will find it.
@greydonsquare I always get between 1 and 5. I think they're the same people all of the time. Probably still mad cause I called them on their bullshit.
@doaftheloaf It sounds like you grew up in your parents religion but never knew God personally. What I know is that God is active in your life, and if you paid attention, you might see that. If you want to know God, you need to turn your life over to Him. You need to be born again.

@TrueW0man247 The quote that "That white guy in the background" uses, is from The Matrix. The Smiths, all together, say "Purpose that connects us. Purpose that pulls us, that guides us, that drive us. It is purpose that defines, purpose that binds us" - and Mr. Smith was white, so I actually see it as quite suiting.

TrueW0man247 3 months ago
@TrueW0man247 If you think this song is me telling the world "Im better" I don't know how to respond to that. Especially when there are thousands of other rap songs out that brag about what they have or how great they are. I don't rap about that sort of stuff. I don't rap about cars, woman, guns or going to the club. Sorry. The message is that no one should make decisions for you. That you should first build your intellect then use your intellect to make decisions.

@TrueW0man247 the message of this song is that we make our own purpose; we decide what meaning our lives have, instead of having it dictated to us from on high.

i said it was arrogant and incorrect to state that we were the centre of the universe. it's incorrect because the earth, the solar system, the galaxy, and space itself is constantly in motion, and the universe does not expand according to where the earth is in it; the universe wouldn't be bothered even slightly if the planet we live on ceased to exist and would go on expanding as if nothing had happened. the earth-centred universe hypothesis is laughable at best.

@doaftheloaf Oh sorry i thought when you said "but it's arrogant, and incorrect, for one to state that it's here and always has been." i thought you meant the universe, and when most people talk about the beginning of the universe I'm used to hearing an argument for a creator... my bad man... I just hate it when people insist there MUST be a creator, and they make this assumption based on their human knowledge of which is severely limited compared to what there is to know...

Just because they're not universal measurements has no bearin on whether the bible is true or not. Earth is the centerpiece of creation so it is expected that the bible refers to local time. The bible was written by man, for man, but inspired by God.

@blurryshiny No sir that is your interpertation of what the Eddas is talking about. And just like every other Christian you choose to read it literally but when it comes to the text you follow it's a mixed bag of literal and symbolic...whenever it suits the reader. Might I suggest you look into some of the commentary about the mythos by authorities such as Elsa-Brita Titchenell. Now you don't have to do all of that if you don't want to but don't assume a literal interpertation for the story.

@rationalwarrior I held it to the same standard I hold the bible to, literal interpretation. Matters of history are not written entirely in metaphors. I will examine the interpretations, but so far I find the evidence very unconvincing.
blurryshiny 3 months ago
@blurryshiny cont. Earth is not the centerpiece of the universe. Earth is a speck in a sea of stars and a vastness so overwhelming it boggles the mind of modern science and certainly the mind of primitive sheepherders with their post bronze age desert scribbling. The fact is you stated that the bible spoke of the beginning of all time just because of the first sentence. It tells you nothing else. No deep meaning. This is the equvilent of "Once upon a time" in any fairytale written.
rationalwarrior 3 months ago
@rationalwarrior In the days of the bible, people thought you could count the number of stars in the sky. The bible said they are more numerous than the sand in all the seas and couldn't be counted. The vastness of the Universe does not prove that Earth is not the center. There is also scientific evidence for this, in quantitized red shifts, which shows the Milky way is at the center of the Universe. Search on youtube for Quantized Red Shift
blurryshiny 3 months ago
@blurryshiny Even if that is true about the milky way (I don't know that it is I'll check) that says nothing about the Earth itself. The Earth is a speck. Previously you said that the bible was written about Earth so trying to shift it to the milky way galaxy (a far bigger construct) is moving the goal post and contradicting what you said.
rationalwarrior 3 months ago
@rationalwarrior The quantized redshifts only appear from our location outward to about a distance of 2 million light years, that is why they're significant. Any further and you wouldn't see it. I am not at all trying to move goal posts, but if we're dealing with the question on a galactic scale, the Milky Way is the obvious landmark.
blurryshiny 3 months ago
@blurryshiny One more thing.There is no centre of the universe! According to the standard theories of cosmology, the universe started with a "Big Bang" about 14 billion years ago and has been expanding ever since. Yet there is no centre to the expansion; it is the same everywhere. The universe is not expanding out from a centre into space; rather, the whole universe is expanding and it is doing so equally at all places, as far as we can tell.
rationalwarrior 3 months ago
@rationalwarrior since space itself is expanding all the time, a physical centre of the universe would have to always be changing. also, i wonder if that's even possible in a universe whose curvature is open or flat. also, what if our universe is infinite in spatial extent? then a "middle point" is impossible.
i don't even feel the question is important to cosmology, where the centre of the universe is. but it's arrogant, and incorrect, for one to state that it's here and always has been.
doaftheloaf 3 months ago
@doaftheloaf "and incorrect" actually it is more arrogant to say THAT, sure the universe we KNOW today might be highly probably to have had a beginning, but thanks to multiverse theory and wormholes it's possible the universe we are in now, is made of scraps from another universe... thus just goes to show even the universe wasn't made from scratch... and either way, humans don't know everything so when you say "and incorrect" i want 100% solid, direct and undeniable evidence for this...
IronicAtheist 3 months ago
@IronicAtheist i wasn't talking about the beginning of the universe or wormholes or the multiverse. you would have done better to pay attention and address something i actually said before leveling your criticism. is it arrogant for me to state the earth is roughly spherical instead of flat?
doaftheloaf 3 months ago in playlist tombstone
just as on the surface of the earth, all observers are at the center of their observable world (limited by the horizon), the center of the observable universe is wherever the observer is, by definition. there is no physical significance to that location other than the fact that the observer is there. in the case of the universe, the field of view is limited by the fact that the distant, early universe was/is opaque to light.
rationalwarrior 3 months ago
@blurryshiny Nasa refutes this claim about the red shift only appearing from our location. This is direct quote from their site "The current cosmological model of the Universe supposes that our position within the Universe is typical, not special. We are not located at the center of the Universe, but are rather taking part in its global expansion." They are the ones doing the work, equations, observations and experimentation. They're more credible then sheepherders with no telescopes.

@blurryshiny "In the beginning , the heavens and earth were still one and all was chaos. The universe was like a big black egg, carrying Pan Gu inside itself." This is how the4 Chinese creation myth.

There are thousands of stories like these. But you don't believe this story...huh?
rationalwarrior 3 months ago
@rationalwarrior This story isn't talking about time having an absolute beginning since it is talking about a Creation from prior material. Only Genesis posits this "creation ex-nihilio" with an absolute beginning to time from no prior material.
blurryshiny 3 months ago
@blurryshiny The bible says nothing about creating any thing out of thin air. There is no qoute in Genesis that suggest that. It merely says he created the heavens and the Earth. There's no mention of whether he created it from pre existing material or not. Judging by how the legend says we were created it would make more sense if there was material before hand. After all according to the myth humans were created from clay or dust of the Earth. So you take everything in the bible as literal?
rationalwarrior 3 months ago
@rationalwarrior Creation ex-nihilio is what the scientific evidence seems to ultimately indicate. On that basis I think Genesis a better match, and I don't think the account you mentioned matches up even metaphorically. The entire point was to show that you can whittle the amount of Gods down to very few, and it isn't a question of Jesus vs. 1,000,000 other Gods. There are a million wrong answers to 1+1 by analogy. Yes, I believe the bible is literally true.

@blurryshiny Although I cannot do it exhastively in the comment section I can show you how it can and has been interperted to have scientifc relevance. As I said it all depends who is interperting it and for what reason. You see how you read all of that something from noting stuff from 1 verse? Believe me it can and has been done.Nothing to mention the fact that there are some serious problems with the whole Genesis account. How do you think you can use science to explain it then run to magic
rationalwarrior 3 months ago
@blurryshiny In the chinese account it says "In the beginning , the heavens and earth were still one and all was chaos." This can be interperted to follow the current model that we have. All matter was condensed together. As a matter of fact this quote tells us more the a simple "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."

Hi rationalwarrior,
Atheist rap, that is a new one on me. I have to say you are talented, so kudos on the well produced video.
So, how can you be sure that you make your own purpose? How do you know that you aren't doing everything according to schedule? How would you be able to tell the difference?
It seems like you are saying God didn't live up to your expectations, therefore He doesn't exist. Do you think perhaps it could be that you haven't lived up to your responsibilities?
blurryshiny 3 months ago
@blurryshiny Not really understanding your assertions here. What responsibilities have I neglected? I am married with children take good care of my family and have stopped all criminal activity in my life. It sounds as if you're projecting some internal conflict into what the songs about. Also your assertions work from the assumption that "god" is real, which I certainty don't believe is true. Here's an idea, ask me WHY I don't believe in any gods instead of assuming the reason.
rationalwarrior 3 months ago 2
@blurryshiny cont. So let's play the "how do you know" game. How do you know that your life and purpose wasn't put together by the Moirae (the fates) of Ancient Greek religion? How do you know that it wasn't the Norns who gave you your purpose? Do you see how these are completely irrelevant questions? The only reason you believe in what you do is because you were taught it by others. Has any god ever told you any of it or was it other humans with their books of myth?
rationalwarrior 3 months ago 2
@rationalwarrior Logic helps here. First, if God has revealed Himself, only one of the religions is true. Second, we can narrow down the list of Gods to those making creation claims. Third, we can match up those claims to the scientific evidence of creation. Out of any of them, only the judeo-christian account claims time had an absolute beginning, which matches the evidence from the hawking-penrose theorum.
blurryshiny 3 months ago
@blurryshiny First no god has revealed himself to me at no time in my life even when I was relgious. You merely assert that he revealed himself to you and expect us to buy into it. Second numerous gods and god stories have creation myths. Third there is no scientific evidence that proves creation. That is a subjective conclusion of the available data and I might add, not a conclusion that the data gathers have even proposed. The only honest answer is we don't know. You choose to believe.
rationalwarrior 3 months ago
@rationalwarrior Well, my experience seems opposite of yours. I grew up secular and was formally an agnostic materalist. I saw no evidence for spirit and thought religious people were delusional. Then God showed me He was there, much to my surprise, and He led me to Christianity. So I don't have any choice but to believe. You say "I don't know", but I say you could find out today. If you prayed to Jesus and asked Him to show you the truth, He would do it.
blurryshiny 3 months ago
@blurryshiny It always amazes me how theists act as if those of us that are atheists have never prayed. I am a 42 year old man who was a religious person most of my life. Second it is false to assert that the biblical account is the only myth that speaks about the beginning. Have you ever read the Enuma Elish? Any of the African creation myths? Or the Norse myth which speaks of in the beginning there was a void called Ginnungagap? Which btw literally means beginning gap.
rationalwarrior 3 months ago
@rationalwarrior I didn't say that only the bible account spoke about the beginning, I said that only the bible mentions that time had an absolute beginning, which is found nowehre else in any other creation account. This means it uniquely matches the evidence we have from science.
As far as prayer, it would be arrogant for me to try to assume what you do in your life. What I am saying is, Jesus will show you the truth if you ask Him. I am saying that God isn't far away from any of us.
blurryshiny 3 months ago
@blurryshiny I don't think you have studied enough of them. Because Norse mythos clearly speaks about a gap before time. Also the biblical account is centered around time on Earth. I only deals with time as we measure it on Earth. Our time is measured by solar and lunar cycles. These are not universial measurements because the numbers of hours in a day varyt from planet to planet dependiong on their orbit and distance from the sun. The biblical account is clearly man made.

So, some being showed YOU, what makes YOU so special that millions of others weren't granted that same luxury?

TurboDally 3 months ago
@TurboDally Nothing makes me special. All I can say is that I was searching for the truth, and was open-minded about it. I think God rewarded that, not that I earned it in any way. As I have seen, there are two supernatural forces at work in this world, that which is from God and that which isn't. As a former materialist, I was very surprised to find there is a spiritual reality. What I have observed is that material reality is just a veil, which conceals a much larger truth.
blurryshiny 3 months ago
@blurryshiny As an addition to the previous post...even if you could somehow prove that a creator or creators exist with the data it still woudn't prove YOUR specific deity. The only argument you are making is for the deistic god. This is a common tactic and I call it out as soon as I see it being used. It's bait and switch. So argue for the existence of your theistic personal god.
rationalwarrior 3 months ago
@rationalwarrior Well I did note that out of all the creation accounts, only the judeo-christian one says that there was a beginning to time. Therefore, if time had a beginning, which it did according to the hawking-penrose theorum, it narrows down the list of Gods to one. If you want something very specific to Jesus, there is a lot of data for the Star of Bethleham. There is also an extra-biblical account noting an unusual period of darkness during the day of the crucifixion

"only the judeo-christian one says that there was a beginning to time"
You saying this only demonstrates that your reading of world religions isn't very varied. I recommend you spend some time studying religions other than the one you believe in- hint: religions present in Asia.
And even IF, IF only the Judeo-Christian-Islamic religions were correct on the time issue- that doesn't mean the rest of the scripture is correct.
TurboDally 3 months ago

@blurryshiny it seems like you are reading into it stuff that ain't there. i wonder if it has ever crossed your mind that maybe there are really people in this world who don't believe in any god and have well-thought-out reasons for doing so.
unless there's evidence to the contrary, it's more rational to assume we make our own purpose; you too, although you don't seem to realize it. you pass the buck to some magic man in the sky so you don't have to bother with the responsibility.
doaftheloaf 3 months ago
@doaftheloaf That has crossed my mind because i used to be one of those people. I became convinced because God showed me He is there. Also, this idea that I don't take responsibility is a false one. Jesus set a much higher standard for responsibility than the world demands. It is very hard to live up to that standard. What I will say about evidence is that if you want to know about Jesus, you can ask Him in prayer to show you the truth and He will do it. He isn't far from any of us.

@rationalwarrior i was a christian until about five years ago. i can't count how many times i asked him to reveal himself to me. since i'm an atheist now, you can guess how many times that prayer was answered. it's one of the reasons i am an atheist - the silence from the other end.
any god that exists is welcome to come to me and say hello. and even plead his case for why i should follow him.
with every day that passes i find it less likely a god exists. his time is running out.
doaftheloaf 3 months ago
@rationalwarrior I think God will provide the evidence, as He has for me. I think if you ask God for the truth, you will get it. I am sure some atheists have done this before, but there are a number of factors. Were they sincere? Did they receive evidence and ignore it? Or, is it that God may reveal Himself at a later time?
blurryshiny 3 months ago
@blurryshiny If this god is as all knowing he knows what it will take for every individual to accept it. The whole cop-out of you have to be sincere is ludicrous. First he is powerful enough to have no limitations but he is limited in how he makes himself known? I don't need to be sincere to have gravity demonstrated to me. If god is so evident then what does myh state of mind have to do with it at all.

@rationalwarrior God is Holy. If you wanted a meeting with the president of the united states, would you call up the white house and start making demands? That would get you nowhere. You would need to be very respectful, and you would have to go through the proper channels and be on your very best behavior. So how much more respect should you show to the Creator of the Universe? Sincere, as in, approaching Him with humility and not making demands but sincerely wanting to know Him.
blurryshiny 3 months ago
@blurryshiny There's a couple of problems with this analogy. One, god allegedly created us with a curious mind. 2, He put humans here and refuses to show himself. 3. He allows other humans to misinterpert mistranslate and misuse his "word" in order to control others. Why should anyone trust another human who hasn't used a consistent method that ALL of us can use to get to the truth? He has allowed people to harm others IN HIS NAME. Plus he created us with emotions. He should expect it.
rationalwarrior 3 months ago
@blurryshiny There's nothing holy about a character who endorses slavery and orders one group of his children to kill another. Or takes a man (Job) and ruins his life on a bet. Or is so dogmatic about being prayed and begged or is so vain that he created people with inherent limitations but then judges them by the same limitations. It's not reasonable to punish people for eternity for finite crimes. To be so arrogant that one of the inpardonable sins is to say you don't believe in him.
rationalwarrior 3 months ago
@blurryshiny well...
1. i know the president exists. god's existence is questionable at best.
2. if a god is going to start making demands of me, he has to prove his existence. otherwise i'm just going to assume that people are making these demands in his name.
3. if god doesn't respect me enough to show up, he doesn't deserve my respect.
4. he's had my whole life to show and hasn't done it, most of which time i was a believer.

@doaftheloaf I take responsibility for the choices I make, and I follow the opportunities that God provides to me. I'll ask you this question..if God does exist, would you want to know about it? If it was Jesus, would you follow Him?
There are many good arguments for the existence of God, and specifically, Jesus Christ. There are logical arguments, arguments from history, archaelogy, morality, prophecy, etc. It might be hard to discuss them in the comments though.
blurryshiny 3 months ago
@blurryshiny All of those things you mention are open to interpertation. This is why denominations disagree to the meaning. You thinking you have the right one is the same as the next person who thinks he is correct. It's all subjective. And yes if god does exist then I would want to know. I have questions that only he/she/it can answer and I don't trust the faith of other men. It has been used to corrupt and control. There is no reason to believe men on these matters.
rationalwarrior 3 months ago
@rationalwarrior Most demoninations agree on the fundementals, but widely differ in things like eschatology. Yes there are many interpretations but only one truth as to what happened, and what Jesus meant, and much of the bible is very straight forward in its meaning. What you're advocating is relative truth vs absolute truth.
It's good that you are still open to the idea of God. I don't blame you for being suspicious, which why I advocate you bypass man and ask God directly.
blurryshiny 3 months ago
@blurryshiny if god exists, yes, i want to know it. because i care about what is true, not just what feels good. would i follow jesus if he was god? that's another question. belief and allegiance/worship are entirely different things. jesus would have to earn my loyalty.
what are these good, logical arguments you speak of? can you give me one that most atheists haven't heard and completely refuted?

I love the Youtube bot's choice of commercials here. In the video, it's a Heavy Metal merchandise shop, and on the right it says "Christian policy for a christian Germany" by some obscure and totally irrelevant conservative party.

Wow dude...do you have a CD yet? If you cant send the link, tell us how to search for it. I know I can rip an MP3 from the video, but I prefer to vote with my wallet.

I love it! I usually prefer 60's rock from Beatles, Doors, Stones and Dylan, but I'm completely hooked on your music, and I just recently discovered Greydon Square as well, and his albums are amazing. Can't wait for you to release an album, Tombstone! How about collaborating with Greydon on a full album? ;)

@PinkJuJuTeapot Thaks for the kind words. As far as collaborating with Greydon is concerned believe me that's in the works. Big things coming.

@greydonsquare I always get between 1 and 5. I think they're the same people all of the time. Probably still mad cause I called them on their bullshit.
