Christian guy:"To go from nonexistence to existence, you need to make a choice."

I never chose to be born, yet here I am...

How do you get something from nothing? How do you get God from nothing? Where did he come from?

If the universe was designed and created, then they did a fucking atrocious job

[ratonL]

Lol, this man loves the straw-man argument.

[peenfluteking]

Let's just get this fucking straight shall we?

Science: I do not know why the universe exists but I am open to all possibilities and will follow the evidence at all costs

Religion: God did it. Oh and homosexuality is a sin.

Just what the fuck? I mean seriously.. cmon humanity, get off your fucking knees.

@dantrizz I really do not understand why we still tend to state that the universe came from nothing. We do not know this. We know there was a Big Bang. We do not know what caused this, so it seems odd to me to state it was caused from nothing. I believe the Big Bang is the effect of a cause. Just like everything else we found in nature.
