The wise man says in his heart "that just the sort of statement I'd expect to find in a book written by frightened men trying to control the world by promoting superstition"
Love the sketch, but I like how the old "if there's a god why is there so much suffering in the world" thing always gets brought up. A divine being does not have to be benevolent to EXIST. Also, what we perceive as cruel may be actual benevolence in the end, like a painful treatment to a deadly disease. Just something to think about.
@Hallerz212 God doesn't have to be benevolent to be running things. Think of a boss at a company. He is in charge of making things run smoothly. If you're working there and slacking off , he will have to fire you. It doesn't seem nice to YOU, but it's what's best for the company as a whole. Now replace boss with god, company with universe, working with living, slacking off with bad things, and fire with punish. Subjectively it may seem cruel but objectively it makes sense.
@Tardis1217 I didnt say he had to be benevolent to be running things, i argued that yes he would have to be benevolent to be "divine" as someone else said, as being divine is to be holy, godly, kind etc. But that metaphor is just completely flawed, yes a boss at a company has to make a company run in an efficient economic way to survive and it may entail doing bad things to others like firing them but overal is positive....please explain the positive advantages of HIV/AIDS or Malaria
@Hallerz212 I don't know. I'm not god. There may be a point to it. There may be a point to all human suffering. Perhaps we all have to live and incarnation of suffering to truly experience the full palate of human experience/consciousness. I don't know. All I'm saying is that evil in the world is not proof positive that there is no god. That's childish. It's like saying, "mommy spanked me! She doesn't love me!". Mommy understood that punishment was needed to bring up a child right.
But yeah, people can believe what they will, I just think it's immature thinking to say things like, "how can god exist and allow MS babies to be born?!". We don't know. All we can glean from our surroundings is that there is probably a rough plan, someone in charge, and the rest is on a need-to-know basis. Things in the universe make sense. There is balance, rules of physics that never change. It all hints at more than just chance.
@Tardis1217 Once again your analogy is woefully inept at representing life, are you seriously comparing a mother spanking a misbehaving child to the millions of people who die from HIV and other diseases? Are you comparing a mothers use of discipline to say, the Holocaust or other genocides that have accurd? Was Rwanda "needed to bring up the child"? Im not saying suffering is a proof theres no god, but your analogys to life are just stupidly broad, simplistic and flawed.
@Hallerz212 of course it's simplistic. I'm trying to compare something on a HUMAN level with something on a GOD level. It's going to be oversimplified. Our minds and words cannot truly express the motives behind the mechanizations of the universe and a potential creator. Of course genocide and deadly diseases are horrible. But everything in life has some purpose I believe, so no matter how tragic and awful it may be, it exists for some kind of reason. One we may never understand
@Tardis1217 AND if we consider how tiny we are, how our lives go by in a blip compared to the age of the universe, it's easier to look at the big picture and say "well, compared to the eons of time that have gone by and the eons that will come, one person suffering of a disease for say 30 years is a fraction of a fraction of a nanosecond". If we concede that souls are eternal, then this time on earth is a moment comparatively. We humans have trouble with 'objective' and 'big picture'
@Tardis1217 They're not just oversimplified, they're plain flawed, comparing disciplining a child to all the suffering in the world and justifying it as "neccesary" is just plain moronic, im sorry, but it is. You have your beliefs, i have mine, genocide is caused by people not gods so i see no overarching "purpose" that it poses, more over i think anybody who thinks there is a purpose is simply trying to deny that bad things can occur for no reason, justifying it as "gods purpose"
how some people can say they see both sides to this,i dont get it, it mirrors how the religious mind works perfectly or rather imperfectly.probably just some random mutation, that was brilliant .well done lads
See guys, this is humour. Where one is witty and funny without having to resort to a bombardment of f words. This. Is. Real. Humour. I love British humour.
@mattwquirk that's the thing with religion. they deny any evidence that contradicts their claims. god is good. if god kills millions, god is till good, it must be out fault. god fulfils prayers, and if he doesn't, well itæs your fault. you can move mountains if you have faith, but if you don't, it's your fault. and we have a pice of toast with what looks like jesus to prove it.
@christhemountain Oh right cheers, I was thinking of that, but I though in the UK most priests were more susceptible to evolution that our friends in the usa, but cheers anyway :)
A message that there is a god makes more sense than a message that there isn't one, of course, since someone would have had to have sent the message. If I encountered as clear a sign as in this video, I would probably have to start believing in fae...
@IoEstasCedonta The joke is that they are doing an "atheist" version of the phenomenon when religious/spiritual people see "God" signs in foods. Good day.
Muslims in an African restaurant found an arabic word in the fat of some uncooked beef and people flocked to see it citing it as definitive proof of Allah. This role reversal highlights the idiocy of such claims.
@LaFinaYoungGun The fact that something is comforting is not a good reason to believe in it.
I for one would LOVE for there to be an afterlife. It would be fantastic. However, I don't believe any form of afterlife exists since there is no reason to suggest it does. Thinking that life ends forever at death is not a nice thought, but I'm being intellectually honest to myself.
@mattwquirk well, you need to believe that an angel spoke to mohammed to be a muslim. and you have to believe in zombie jesus walking around to be a christian. you don't think there was room for misinterpretations and blatant lies in these instances?
@pannysat The "logic" that this skit is making fun of I don't agree with. I don't understand how a cloud that looks like a face is just something cool while a piece of burnt toast that looks like a face is a miracle people line up to see.
@mowingthebacklawn I'm a little confuse. You don't agree with the satire. (That people see pattern in thing and call it a miracle). But in your next sentence, you support it by saying how you "don't understand how" people do it.??

I like how you atheists are coming around to the faith side. You all disgust me, pretending like your religion aka "evolution" does not require faith. It requries more for you guys to believe we came from dirt, then for me to believe we came from god. Ignorance is bliss, and its exactly what you guys want. There is two ways a human mind responds to god, they either try to do his will or try to outsmart him. You guys are pathetic, how embarassing.....
@1989cobalt Another brain washed American idiot...... make sure you contribute to the collection plate on Sunday or you won't go the 'Heaven'..... there's a good boy.
@Herosmurf Science backs up more of what the bible says then it does your evolution book. Even Darwin himself.... y'know the "creator" of evolution....said, and i quote "I was a young man with unformed ideas. I threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over everything; and to my astonishment the ideas took like wildfire. People made a religion out of them!" Cmon guys, even darwin believed you guys took this way too far. There is NO FACTS...
@1989cobalt you do realise that evolution takes millions of years, the bible says the world is 4000 years old.So it definitely doesn't back up more of what the bible says. Also, evolution is based on evidence picked up and makes a lot of sense if you use logic.The animals with the feature that helps them survive do survive and then reproduce, the animals that don't typically die so can't reproduce and pass on genes. And it again doesn't support religion as many people went against it at the time
@Herosmurf You show me where in the bible it says the world is 4000 years old? Not to mention, dont put evolution in with the word science, evolution is a theory, not science.
@Herosmurf hmmm, is that right? Science: a branch of knowledge or study dealing with a body of facts or truths systematically arranged and showing the operation of general laws: the mathematical sciences. Sure sounds different then Theory: A hypothesis assumed for the sake of argument or investigation. Before i forget....where in the bible does it say the world is 4000 years old?
@1989cobalt You're mixing up the colloquial definition of the term 'theory' with the scientific. Do you believe in the theory of gravity? Heliocentric Theory?Cell Theory? Theory of plate tectonics? Atomic theory? Your knowledge is unbelievably poor, or you're simply bending the truth to forge your own argument. Start by knowing the scientific definition of the word theory. And the bible states the earth is 6000 years old, which is equally moronic compared to 4000.
@mutzigmorzine Again your useing your own uneducated guess on how old the earth is... bible never says a day is 1000 years. When will you be somewhat intelligent and start useing multiple sources for information. Quit buying in to a atheist ran website....aka wikipedia. No wonder you think this way, its your source of information. lol
@1989cobalt Darwin died over 130 years ago. A huge amount of evidence has been collected since then, you should try educating yourself, instead of quoting the past.
@1989cobalt It's not my job to teach you about evolution, thats your parents/teachers problem. If you've seen no evidence showcasing the existence of evolution, then you have been truly sheltered and I feel sorry for you. I can point you in the right direction however, purchase Richard Dawkins book 'The Greatest Show on Earth".
@mutzigmorzine I didn't ask you to teach me evolution. I asked for evidence, big difference. Im only argueing the same thing that i have faced with atheists countless times. They always want me to bring evidence to my claims. When i show evidence, i ask them for evidence on there behalf and i recieve nothing. So, now im asking the questions, and you will or will not give the answer, up to you. Btw, i prolly know just as much as you do if not more about evolution. Its why im argueing with you now
@1989cobalt Judging by your past comments, you make a habit of this, which is a waste of time. I'll give some examples of evidence. In terms of fossil records, look into the movement from water to land, the origin of feathers, history of teeth (study by Kathryn Kavanagh who looks at the teeth of rodents), origin of the vertebrate skeleton. A key creature to look at are whales, mammals who live in water. The first transition from water to land was about 360 million years ago (fossil evidence) etc
@mutzigmorzine Evolutionary biologists construct many plausible stories about how life developed and evolved, based largely on the fossil records. To my knowledge, there has not been a single double-blind test of radiometric dating methods. Just to illustrate how bias they can be at times. When it comes to evolution, I don't know any other fields where a theory is accepted simply because no one can think of an alternative.Here is some evidence useing fossil records, look up Cambrian explosion.
@1989cobalt I do find it funny how creationists think the Cambrian explosion is evidence that counts against evolution but supports their hypothesis. The fossil record is imperfect, the theory of punctuated equilibrium by Eldredge and Gould explains the gaps in records. Your argument is disappointing, I was expecting more then a plagiarised response, you have copied your argument from a website. Pathetic.
@mutzigmorzine I find it funny that we both have two choices when it comes to how life got here. 1. By chance 2. By design. You havent done enough research into your own body to see how truely amazing it is to even be here or how your brain has nerve cells, and your arm has muscle cells. Your theory of puncuated equilibrium has been highly debated. If anyone has been copying from websites its you, with your famous wikipedia. You use it as your only source, pathetic indeed. Quit useing wikipedia.
@1989cobalt Show me one piece of my argument which come from wikipedia? I typed one of your previous comments into google and a website came straight up, with the exact paragraph, to the exact word. Article entitled "Is Evolution Science?". So don't lecture me on plagiarism.
@mutzigmorzine Eww, ouch...you got me! I copied a sentence from a website! probably because i felt like they said it best, so why would i change it.... But back to the true argument....you said the fossil record is imperfect, the theory of PE explains the gaps, but on the contrary PE has been in a debate since 72, its validity has never been proven correct. Yet your useing it to bash on the cambrian explosion.
@1989cobalt It wasn't just a sentence, it was the majority of a paragraph. Furthermore, it was taken from a creationist website, which is unbelievably hypocritical after claiming I used an atheist website... Can you not even admit that? You have also failed to respond to my comments regarding the meaning of the term "theory".
"I was a young man with unformed ideas. I threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over everything; and to my astonishment the ideas took like wildfire. People made a religion out of them!"
@1989cobalt Evolution is all around you you bellend. Congratulations, there are also a lot of scientists today that openly believe in God, funny how you think that automatically = the undeniable existence of God only when it comes to religious theories. Very selective if you ask me. There are no facts... Pfft. Lets see some facts which proves the existence of God that we haven't heard and countered about 400 million times.
@Braunche "evolution is all around us" means nothing, a theory about every living species generally would be all around you. Whilst it's true that evolution is the most logical explanation for the evidence it has no solid proof, god could have created the stages of man just like god could have made my dinner tonight, but he probably didn't. Evolution doesn't explain how this shit started anyhow so it doesn't disprove god whatsoever. Atheists should stop being cunts, these are all theories
@otaconwill What would you consider solid proof? It's not only been observed in nature, this "theory" is used daily in multiple fields of biology to make accurate and sound predictions. You are correct in saying evolution doesn't explain abiogenesis, but it's not supposed to. That's why we have abiogenesis studies, which in fact are very close to explaining the origin of cells on a young earth. Jesus Christ, read a book.
@jcyprianus basically the priest was saying stuff about gentics and he took the statment back because he is a priest and he was suppost to say it was god's doing
Their god is pretty weak if he can only produce 2 dimensional representations on toast, my god appeared to me in 3 dimensions last night while I was eating spaghetti and meatballs!
@RantyChris if you think about it, if there is a god he is losing power. There was a time when he would destroy cities with fire and brimstone, drown the land with the sea, and get people who pissed him off to be swallowed by whales. These days, he appears in soup.
@RantyChris NOT in Britain. In Britain you turn around and go I found the Virgin Mary in my cheese, people turn around to you and go shut up and eat your fucking cheese. Cause were are nice people. :D

@1989cobalt Darwin died over 130 years ago. A huge amount of evidence has been collected since then, you should try educating yourself, instead of quoting the past.

@mutzigmorzine What evidence?
1989cobalt 6 months ago
@1989cobalt It's not my job to teach you about evolution, thats your parents/teachers problem. If you've seen no evidence showcasing the existence of evolution, then you have been truly sheltered and I feel sorry for you. I can point you in the right direction however, purchase Richard Dawkins book 'The Greatest Show on Earth".

@mutzigmorzine I didn't ask you to teach me evolution. I asked for evidence, big difference. Im only argueing the same thing that i have faced with atheists countless times. They always want me to bring evidence to my claims. When i show evidence, i ask them for evidence on there behalf and i recieve nothing. So, now im asking the questions, and you will or will not give the answer, up to you. Btw, i prolly know just as much as you do if not more about evolution. Its why im argueing with you now
1989cobalt 6 months ago
@1989cobalt Judging by your past comments, you make a habit of this, which is a waste of time. I'll give some examples of evidence. In terms of fossil records, look into the movement from water to land, the origin of feathers, history of teeth (study by Kathryn Kavanagh who looks at the teeth of rodents), origin of the vertebrate skeleton. A key creature to look at are whales, mammals who live in water. The first transition from water to land was about 360 million years ago (fossil evidence) etc
mutzigmorzine 6 months ago
@mutzigmorzine Evolutionary biologists construct many plausible stories about how life developed and evolved, based largely on the fossil records. To my knowledge, there has not been a single double-blind test of radiometric dating methods. Just to illustrate how bias they can be at times. When it comes to evolution, I don't know any other fields where a theory is accepted simply because no one can think of an alternative.Here is some evidence useing fossil records, look up Cambrian explosion.
1989cobalt 6 months ago
@1989cobalt I do find it funny how creationists think the Cambrian explosion is evidence that counts against evolution but supports their hypothesis. The fossil record is imperfect, the theory of punctuated equilibrium by Eldredge and Gould explains the gaps in records. Your argument is disappointing, I was expecting more then a plagiarised response, you have copied your argument from a website. Pathetic.
mutzigmorzine 6 months ago
@mutzigmorzine I find it funny that we both have two choices when it comes to how life got here. 1. By chance 2. By design. You havent done enough research into your own body to see how truely amazing it is to even be here or how your brain has nerve cells, and your arm has muscle cells. Your theory of puncuated equilibrium has been highly debated. If anyone has been copying from websites its you, with your famous wikipedia. You use it as your only source, pathetic indeed. Quit useing wikipedia.

1989cobalt 6 months ago
@1989cobalt Show me one piece of my argument which come from wikipedia? I typed one of your previous comments into google and a website came straight up, with the exact paragraph, to the exact word. Article entitled "Is Evolution Science?". So don't lecture me on plagiarism.
mutzigmorzine 6 months ago
@mutzigmorzine Eww, ouch...you got me! I copied a sentence from a website! probably because i felt like they said it best, so why would i change it.... But back to the true argument....you said the fossil record is imperfect, the theory of PE explains the gaps, but on the contrary PE has been in a debate since 72, its validity has never been proven correct. Yet your useing it to bash on the cambrian explosion.
1989cobalt 6 months ago
@1989cobalt It wasn't just a sentence, it was the majority of a paragraph. Furthermore, it was taken from a creationist website, which is unbelievably hypocritical after claiming I used an atheist website... Can you not even admit that? You have also failed to respond to my comments regarding the meaning of the term "theory".

@1989cobalt Evolution is all around you you bellend. Congratulations, there are also a lot of scientists today that openly believe in God, funny how you think that automatically = the undeniable existence of God only when it comes to religious theories. Very selective if you ask me. There are no facts... Pfft. Lets see some facts which proves the existence of God that we haven't heard and countered about 400 million times.

@Braunche "evolution is all around us" means nothing, a theory about every living species generally would be all around you. Whilst it's true that evolution is the most logical explanation for the evidence it has no solid proof, god could have created the stages of man just like god could have made my dinner tonight, but he probably didn't. Evolution doesn't explain how this shit started anyhow so it doesn't disprove god whatsoever. Atheists should stop being cunts, these are all theories

@otaconwill What would you consider solid proof? It's not only been observed in nature, this "theory" is used daily in multiple fields of biology to make accurate and sound predictions. You are correct in saying evolution doesn't explain abiogenesis, but it's not supposed to. That's why we have abiogenesis studies, which in fact are very close to explaining the origin of cells on a young earth. Jesus Christ, read a book.

@RantyChris if you think about it, if there is a god he is losing power. There was a time when he would destroy cities with fire and brimstone, drown the land with the sea, and get people who pissed him off to be swallowed by whales. These days, he appears in soup.
