i dont belive in god. if god is real then so are unicorns ,dragons, and things like that.he cant be proven

[Ayye450]

Not cool, the belief in God is personal, the campus contains many different faith groups, this can be considered very offensive.

[T2DarIantan]

there's a low percentage of the population that are atheists, and the same goes for high intelligence...I wonder why that is?

@tinykicksass "But I don't see how believing in something is wrong, so long as it doesn't harm anybody"

I respectfully disagree. Belief in the supernatural demeans the entire human race. Despite everything that science can explain and we still look to ancient texts written by poets, storytellers and lunatics for answers.

We enjoy the fruits of modern science everyday but as soon as it contradicts our pre-determined version of the truth, we shut down our brains and call it heresy.

17% of those surveyed aren't idiots.

@jbrook1 Thanks. Same to you.

[jbrook1]

@tinykicksass Good convo tho, i appreciate a goot conversation, you make good points and you're clearly a bright person, i hope the best for ya, and have a good one man

[tinykicksass]

@jbrook1 You're right, it doesn't excuse anything. The Bible does clearly state that stuff like that is wrong. But who's brainwashed here... hard to say I guess. We both seem to be hard-set in our beliefs. But I don't see how believing in something is wrong, so long as it doesn't harm anybody. But yeah, let's end this conversation here.

[jbrook1]

@tinykicksass Well, this is because all there is, is a theory for evolution.Science itself is not a theory. Theere not much more that needs to be said regarding the logical side of there being a magical man in the sky, this is absurd, you're clearly too brainwashed by the christian religion. You reject rational thought to bring false validities to you're beliefs, good conversation, thanks for you're ideas , we're done here

[tinykicksass]

@jbrook1 And let me get one thing clear. I don't look down on anyone who has a different belief (be it a different religion or not). If someone can provide a good argument supporting what they believe (like what you have done), I have lots of respect for them. I believe that people shouldn't be criticized for what they believe.

@tinykicksass This doesnt excuse anything tho, because They know the damnation they will recieive in the after life, why risk this? From what they know, the position they hold, this doesnt add up to me.. sorry im having difficulty finding the words to explain my thoughts on this subject, excuse me
