"The odds of life forming by a freak accident is .5 in a 9999999999999999999999999999"

That means it's possible. There's absolutely zero evidence or even a slight chance of a god being born from nothing. God is far more mightier and more powerful than a measly human, so it's far more likely that humans appeared from nowhere than a god.

But besides, it's all a faith. We believe there is or is not a god, and those are equal faiths. So grow the fuck up and stop forcing yours on others.

But those odds still exist. Just because the odds are incredibly small doesn't mean that it can't happen. And guess what? It did, so why are you arguing about odds when it clearly happened even if you put out this ridiculous argument. After we die..We don't know, you know why? All of us are living. I for one am not going to sit around saying I know where we go when we die when I clearly just took it from a book. And we are nothing, we don't have much of an impact on the universe besides on earth

Heaven and Hell is an illusion to give humans an answer to where the idea of "us" goes. You are not really you, you are just a cluster of cells who decided to be together for a short short while. Heaven and Hell, like I said, is just an illusion so that humans feel better about what happens to the idea of "you" when your physical self goes away.

[joeygrl111]

God is within us, it's not a person, and there is no heaven or hell when you die. You are literally made up of atoms that formed in stars millions of years ago. You are made up of the same thing that everything else is made up of, and the fact that you in your body are here right now is less likely than .5 in 9999999999999999999999999. When you die your atoms go right back to the universe where they came, we are the universe experiencing itself in human form for a short while.

Proved your point wrong. Thank You, my point has been proven true.

But you seriously SHOULD Grow the FUCK Up. You have no rights to use aggressive language, when you have been proven wrong, bitch.

YOU Get The FUCK Over it. Stupid 8 year olds on Youtube. If you say something, which is deemed to be false in another's mind, they will reply with a Different FUCKING Opinion. And when you ARE Proven wrong, you SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STAY SILENT.

It happens, when a Stupid Idiot preaches religious shit to others, who believe in Science, more than religion.
