@ESPxTele not to have purpose, to have an personal relationship with Christ and to go into heaven. We dont live up to his standards, every man and women falls into sin, we try to be like him, we try to be Holy but no one can. so we strive to be like him and follow his rules
another thing: i love how christians have several diferent explanations for everything. i thought our existence on earth was the result of a mistake made by adam and eve, and a punishment, something so nasty that god had to kill huimself to fix it. but then they say that your life is art of god's plan and that you have a lesson to learn and what not. are we here to be punished or are we here to get some great work done?
@elibeth121 i thought sin and evil existed before adam and eve. wasn't the snake evil? and didn't the tree reveal to them the knowledge of good and evil? which begs the question why god would punish someone with no concept of right and wrong. but anyway, the reason we are on earth is that adam and eve were banished there and told to be fruitful and multiply. ultimately it is god who is evil in this story. monstrously evil and twisted, in need of psychiatric help.
@topperheartramada well technically the fall of the Lucifer was before Adam and Eve. However God had told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree, they knew it was wrong. They chose to sin. God is all loving, he is not a monster, he is not twisted and he is not wrong. He is a loving God
@elibeth121 Yeah, but if Adam and Eve had no knowledge of good and evil, it would be silly to hold them responsible for their actions. It's like leaving a bunch of kids alone at home with a loaded gun on the table and then being shocked when someone got shot. Plus anyone who punishes people like that, including the entire human race, then threatening them with eternal punishment if they didn't love him is a mental patient.
What's the point? How about this: the point is to at least try and figure out the truth, rather than follow someone like a sheep. Seriously, was Socrates wasting his time?
Heaven : eternal worship of god - fail 1 SINGLE time in worshipping god, and you will be cast in to hell - just ask lucifer. The first 100 years of total and absolute worship I think I could do, if REALLY pressed. The first 1000 years will be difficult. The first million years will definitely be agony - the first BILLION years of CONSTANT worship will REALLY be flossing my nerves, and then you suddenly realize : OMG 1 BILLION years is JUST the beginning of eternity. Sounds like utter hell to me

I personally like sex , ice cream , chocolate and other stuff. Do I get those after I dies ? I don't know so I chose to live and have some of those things now.
What did cats being worshiped have to do with weather or not cats believe in a god? I mean if god exists does he worship another god? The women that talked in the caller's background was fucking stupid...
Jeez, what a callous and perverted thing for this caller to say. Not only that but it was grossly ignorant. I don't see how this dim-wit can make these positive claims and in the same breath admit he "doesn't know and isn't sure"....moron!! LOL
religious people aren't stupid, they just haven't ever honestly questioned their beliefs. All of us atheists that were once christian for a long time, had to go through those small steps to get to the big one. Let's not discriminate against people for their views, we get enough of that with our dollar bill.
@Zentz29 I'd like a religious person to explain to me what "I believe in God" means compared to "I believe that God exists/ is good/ whatever"
I didn't mean it geographically lol. Then I'd be able to say "I believe in the Christian Church" because I have been in a Christian church and I have beliefs, therefore I have had beliefs IN a Christian Church... not quite what I meant.
How is it so difficult to comprehend? "A" - "Theism." To be without a theistic belief system. To not belong to any doctrine of faith. They spend their lives fearing hell, totally devoted to this concept of an afterlife. We have no worries about what comes next and simply enjoy what we have now. Christians fear death, though they claim they believe the next life is better. I truly doubt that most Christians actually believe this crap.
For one minute don't worry if there is a God or not. Just read Revelation 12 "the woman clothed by the sun". She is a parable about the astrological alignment which occurs in Sept 2011. Comet Elenin (extinction level event near impact nemesis) arrives within days of this astro alignment. It's a warning from ancient times about the dragon (comet) and the shaking or shifting of the earth it causes. Oceans will roll up on the coasts all over the world killing millions. Help others to know.
@translucentorb God the father, the creator, the almighty one, the one person who will never forsake you, never leave you, and never push you aside like last weeks trash. You receive God's word through prayer, faith, and repentance.
@smurfboywv Oh so you're saying the beliefe in this god figure is more tenable than facts and logic? And since facts and logic don't exactly sync up with how you wish reality exists, content such as presented above is dangerous and scary, when obviously people should be more like you, am I right?
@smurfboywv No I'm curious, many Christians mean different things when they say the same things, I'm just trying to understand what you're saying. I'm pretty sure I know what youre talking about but I want to hear it from you before we proceed.
Wouldn't a lord and king make themselves known by something other than ancient texts and warm fuzzy feelings? Especially since so many different versions of God's orders are being used around the world, ALL claiming authority?
"If there's nothing after you die then why waste another breath? Why not just slit your wrists right now?"
Well if you think you're going to go to heaven and live forever then why don't you slit your wrists and go there right now? Dumbass. I don't understand why they can't get past the idea that there is no reason to live without a belief in god. It's mental.
What I've never understood is how believers insist that this life must have meaning, specifically in their case the meaning is to seek salvation. But never stop to think that their precious Eternal Life is never given any meaning at all.
So This Life is to seek a ticket to a meaningless Eternal Life??
How does that make sense?
But it is typical of religious people that they never ask themselves the next logical question.
@GBJ83 agreed... if he was sincere... i mean its a good topic for people to listen about... many people really do feel that way and in many ways i understand how scary it is to not have an afterlife,.
Dogma and faith is the limit where we can express our consciousness. Over that limit, there's only blind acceptance of what it's said by others, no matter if that dogma is religous or political (both very similiar) Personally i can't see the point in discussing about this with whoever has this limit, I think it's the same thing when someone speaks about bullshit on how to combine science and faith together. But hey, i appreciate you guys' efforts in doing that!
The caller also implies that the next life will be better, I mean what's going on in heaven? Warm milk, Scrabble and Christian Rock? Fuck that, send me to hell with Vodka, Strip Poker and Iron Maiden please.
The reason the dude on the phone can't slit his wrist and just go on to live the second life.Is because that would be a sin that would not allow him to get there
"maybe I haven't accomplished what I need to accomplish" the caller says. What if you already have? How would you know? Maybe you've already fulfilled your destiny and you could kill yourself now because your purpose in life has been fulfilled. You are just a tool, another cog in the machine of God's design, all the world's a stage, your part's been played: you can get off the stage now.
Why assume the fulfillment of your life's at the end of it? You could kill off the elderly: they're done
As with computers the colloquialism "vanilla" means that it is done and/or used only for conventional and socially accepted practices, as opposed to the raping of children by priests.
Matt is always talking about the bible but it is clear that he hasn't read it either or else he would know that suicide is an abomination, if you do kill yourself in this life you won't be going to heaven, unless God may see something that I can't see. All of you people who think that after you die there's nothing left of you will be really upset when you get to hell. God Bless!!
On pretty much every single caller, that tried to state any passage from the bible, he knows exactly the passage and from memory, can quote the exact reference word for word.
He knows more about the bible than you will EVER know.
Thats also one of the reasons why he knows its full of shit and thats why he turned from christianity, to atheism. Much like a great many other Atheists. Myself included. The bible can only be accepted by fools.
Oh yes! Can't beat DM. I remember as a kid feeling really guilty for liking this song. Thank goodness I no longer have to feel guilty about who I am or what I like!
@Preator6 Apparently have no idea. The more I push to discover the origin of life the more my consciences rises that there is no God. The thing at church makes me wonder how many people are weak to accept the bible as nothing more but a fairy tale. I find it kind of fascinating that people really worship no one and kind of silly that I worship no one also. Then I may be in phase as Agnostic due to my curiosity if there could be a God. (I don't know)
@nctrls2 if there could be a god is about knowledge, so you're agnostic. But do you believe in god? Yes or no.. that makes you either theist or atheist, or if you believe in a god but doesn't think he intervenes that makes you deist.
@nctrls2 Its a descriptor. A (originated from greek) means opposite of or opposed to. Theist means to worship a god of sorts. We do not believe that we are atheists, I guess you could say, as it automatically applies that we are not theists. So anyone that is not a theist, I guess you could say, is by definition an atheist.
@nctrls2 Your question is midguided. No athiest would ever say "I believe in atheism". Atheism is the absence of a belief in god, rather than a belief system itself
@urcritic Why minority of atheists claim that the term "Atheist means a lack of belief" - not absence of belief in God- . instead should atheist be called unbelievers "the absence of beliefs". (Atheism is confusing)
@nctrls2 Atheism is confusing, just like Theism :)
I think to get to Atheism takes many long hours of truely honest self-reflection, education and and understanding that any dogma (of any kind, religious or political et al) is inherently a negative step away from freedom, especially freethought. Freethinking requires an honest fortitude and bravery not often seen by most people (I'm not sure I'm all the way there yet). And yet, shouldn't that be something that all people should strive for?
@urcritic Absolutely right. Atheism is not a system at all since it has only ONE tenent; no god-belief. Theism IS a system since it deals with ritual, prophecy, moral guidance...
Even if you were to strip belief down to its basic level it still is a system since it hold TWO tenants: a belief IN and a belief THAT something exists.
Atheism holds only a lack of belief, a single point or tenant.
Knowledge and Belief are two wholly different psychological states.
@nctrls2 A belief system generally holds an unmovable position by the believer.
Here's the fundamental difference between Theism and Atheism. If I was conclusively shown tomorrow that there was a better Biological Theory than Evolution or a better Cosmological Theory than The Big Bang, a Theory that BETTER explained ALL of the evidence, I would abandon it without hesitation.
If I was to offer you a superior religion tomorrow that answered even more of your questions, what would you do?
@vryc I look for more evidence based on the religion that you're offering. I do believe in science and evolution but also believe there is a supreme being, specifically a creator who made the universe but does not intervene in the universe. (=/ I don't know)
By the way aliens do exist, we abduct animals and probe them continuously every day, just imagine how that animal feels when a helicoptor swoops down and drugs them, and plays with their genitals lmao!
So reality is beauty, which is only what it is in the eye of the beholder. God exist yet is non-existent good is only good to you and I see bad as good equaly
The brain lives in darkness,our 5 senses are only electrical signals percieved,how can we be sure they are true.true knowlege can never be attained. If knowledge is power, then true science can never be achieved. Evidence of absence is not absence of evidence.
her cats probably believe in a god, tracy, she can magicly open doors and make food apear out of no were, they probably think of her in the same way primitive people thought the environment around them was god, storms, valcanios anything they coud not understand or control was magic. Please lets grew out of this if we cant explain something, it must be magic, it must be god, The human race has more knowlage then that, lets use it.
I went to the North Pole to look for evidence of Santa clause. Guess what? Nothing. Not even his helpers or rein deers. I can't believe in Santa Clause any more even though my 5 year old daughters book says there's a Santa Clause.
@pchtermino1 Because God hates freaks. Why do you think he told Noah to not let the unicorns and dragons on the ark? Because they're freaks and God hates all freaks, this includes amputees. Praise the Lord!
@beginization Neither, it's called a cemetary, or maybe cremation, or cryogenics, if we left them in the garbage then the body attracts parasites and disease ridden pests.
Are Atheist trying to start there own church with these websites and all the preaching of your doctrine of how much better life is living as a atheist is just like a minister talking about his beliefs and enjoyment of living with god.?
And is Dawkins your Pope ? as most atheist seem to have been converted by Dawkins to your new faith.
@beginization Um, no, Atheists are all Atheists for different reasons, some agree with Dawkins, I personally, am an Atheist because the amount of proof there is for god's existence is less than that of a unicorn, and I certainly don't believe in unicorns, so I'm not going to believe in god either, don't take this as an attack by the way, it isn't meant to be one.
The caller has a valid enough inquiry regarding why we'd bother trying to live if in the end it's all over. What it really comes down to is this... we all have different reasoning for doing anything we do, but the fact that an atheist sees no long term reward for living and doing good makes the good hearted atheist all the more self-less above those who do good because they fear a god.
Hey nobody complain..this is better than them reading some dam Quran...there healthy, they don't have rags on there head and I'am sure they won't blast you if you don't beleive in something this is a show ...but off air I'm sure they will not tell you to switch over lol there nutral nothing wrong with that.
What's the point of staying alive if you're gonna go to heaven when you die? I can understand not commiting suicide, but why wear bike helmets or seat belts, Christians?
@RockBanned lol good point they cant commit suicide because they go to hell but they can walk up to a police station (repent before they do it) shoot the police and get shot to death. and by the way eternity would SUCK
Organised reglion should be seperate.God never has been "short of cash".But that doesn't mean god doesn't exist.Religions are businesses....the only thing that matters is faith.
Haha Matt's questions for Jason were perfect. I don't consider myself an atheist, nor a christian, but I like this dude. He makes awesome points, but in all fairness, Jason was an obvious idiot.
You know your conversation is in trouble right of the bat when you correct someone and then they say the exact same thing you just corrected them on only seconds before. Willful ignorance is a brick wall.
I don;t see how "no god" means "no point to life". Besides, isn't christianity in a nutshell "This life is nothing, don;t do anything I don't want you to do and you will have a much better life"
One of the most common criticisms of atheism has been to the contrary—that denying the existence of a god leads to moral relativism, leaving one with no moral or ethical foundation,[62] or renders life meaningless and miserable. (source: Wikipedia)
I think the caller tried to say something like this.
Easy: these gods are laws, anthropomorphised. Laws aren't meant to be fluffy, they're meant to be scary and spiky so that no one breaks them.
Other gods can be fluffy and cute, meant for fun, comfort, or explanation of some mysteries. These things are desirable, so they're going to be cute and cuddly.
It's when you try to mix the two concepts that you get in trouble.
the truth is that atheists have no objective purpose for living. there are reasons they live - the natural urge to survive, the selfish need to live happily. but those aren't purposes. using reason those things end up being no more than natural urges, and if you keep asking why, you're left with no reason.
i'm an atheist. i'm not sure that what i just said is right, but it's something i've been leaning toward lately - somewhat depressing.

The reason the dude on the phone can't slit his wrist and just go on to live the second life.Is because that would be a sin that would not allow him to get there

"maybe I haven't accomplished what I need to accomplish" the caller says. What if you already have? How would you know? Maybe you've already fulfilled your destiny and you could kill yourself now because your purpose in life has been fulfilled. You are just a tool, another cog in the machine of God's design, all the world's a stage, your part's been played: you can get off the stage now.
Why assume the fulfillment of your life's at the end of it? You could kill off the elderly: they're done

Could someone please explain the term 'vanella' (sp)? I assume it's sex related... which is fine with me.

Hello liberalmatt,
As with computers the colloquialism "vanilla" means that it is done and/or used only for conventional and socially accepted practices, as opposed to the raping of children by priests.

Matt is always talking about the bible but it is clear that he hasn't read it either or else he would know that suicide is an abomination, if you do kill yourself in this life you won't be going to heaven, unless God may see something that I can't see. All of you people who think that after you die there's nothing left of you will be really upset when you get to hell. God Bless!!

Mat studied to become a Baptist minister.
On pretty much every single caller, that tried to state any passage from the bible, he knows exactly the passage and from memory, can quote the exact reference word for word.
He knows more about the bible than you will EVER know.
Thats also one of the reasons why he knows its full of shit and thats why he turned from christianity, to atheism. Much like a great many other Atheists. Myself included. The bible can only be accepted by fools.

@Preator6 Apparently have no idea. The more I push to discover the origin of life the more my consciences rises that there is no God. The thing at church makes me wonder how many people are weak to accept the bible as nothing more but a fairy tale. I find it kind of fascinating that people really worship no one and kind of silly that I worship no one also. Then I may be in phase as Agnostic due to my curiosity if there could be a God. (I don't know)
nctrls2 1 year ago
@nctrls2 if there could be a god is about knowledge, so you're agnostic. But do you believe in god? Yes or no.. that makes you either theist or atheist, or if you believe in a god but doesn't think he intervenes that makes you deist.

IF you say Atheism is the absence of belief system, Why do you believe in Atheism?
nctrls2 1 year ago
@nctrls2 Its a descriptor. A (originated from greek) means opposite of or opposed to. Theist means to worship a god of sorts. We do not believe that we are atheists, I guess you could say, as it automatically applies that we are not theists. So anyone that is not a theist, I guess you could say, is by definition an atheist.
FlyingSpahghettiMan 1 year ago
@nctrls2 Your question is midguided. No athiest would ever say "I believe in atheism". Atheism is the absence of a belief in god, rather than a belief system itself
urcritic 1 year ago
@urcritic Why minority of atheists claim that the term "Atheist means a lack of belief" - not absence of belief in God- . instead should atheist be called unbelievers "the absence of beliefs". (Atheism is confusing)
nctrls2 1 year ago
@nctrls2 Atheism is confusing, just like Theism :)
I think to get to Atheism takes many long hours of truely honest self-reflection, education and and understanding that any dogma (of any kind, religious or political et al) is inherently a negative step away from freedom, especially freethought. Freethinking requires an honest fortitude and bravery not often seen by most people (I'm not sure I'm all the way there yet). And yet, shouldn't that be something that all people should strive for?
vryc 1 year ago
@urcritic Absolutely right. Atheism is not a system at all since it has only ONE tenent; no god-belief. Theism IS a system since it deals with ritual, prophecy, moral guidance...
Even if you were to strip belief down to its basic level it still is a system since it hold TWO tenants: a belief IN and a belief THAT something exists.
Atheism holds only a lack of belief, a single point or tenant.
Knowledge and Belief are two wholly different psychological states.
vryc 1 year ago
@nctrls2 A belief system generally holds an unmovable position by the believer.
Here's the fundamental difference between Theism and Atheism. If I was conclusively shown tomorrow that there was a better Biological Theory than Evolution or a better Cosmological Theory than The Big Bang, a Theory that BETTER explained ALL of the evidence, I would abandon it without hesitation.
If I was to offer you a superior religion tomorrow that answered even more of your questions, what would you do?
vryc 1 year ago
@vryc I look for more evidence based on the religion that you're offering. I do believe in science and evolution but also believe there is a supreme being, specifically a creator who made the universe but does not intervene in the universe. (=/ I don't know)

The caller has a valid enough inquiry regarding why we'd bother trying to live if in the end it's all over. What it really comes down to is this... we all have different reasoning for doing anything we do, but the fact that an atheist sees no long term reward for living and doing good makes the good hearted atheist all the more self-less above those who do good because they fear a god.

One of the most common criticisms of atheism has been to the contrary—that denying the existence of a god leads to moral relativism, leaving one with no moral or ethical foundation,[62] or renders life meaningless and miserable. (source: Wikipedia)

You know, fluffy gods as opposed to mean gods.
If you're going to believe in a deity, fluffy deities are more appealing then those with wrath of fire.
Shavarnarak 2 years ago 2
Easy: these gods are laws, anthropomorphised. Laws aren't meant to be fluffy, they're meant to be scary and spiky so that no one breaks them.
Other gods can be fluffy and cute, meant for fun, comfort, or explanation of some mysteries. These things are desirable, so they're going to be cute and cuddly.
It's when you try to mix the two concepts that you get in trouble.

his summary of the guy's question was inaccurate
the truth is that atheists have no objective purpose for living. there are reasons they live - the natural urge to survive, the selfish need to live happily. but those aren't purposes. using reason those things end up being no more than natural urges, and if you keep asking why, you're left with no reason.
i'm an atheist. i'm not sure that what i just said is right, but it's something i've been leaning toward lately - somewhat depressing.
