Why are you here?
Offline Why are you here on this website?
If you are trying to discover yourself, kudos, but this post is not necessarily for you. Search, ask and research until you are satisfied or bored...
This post is a theist attack on atheism:
If the atheist view and/or your personal view on the "purpose of life" is essentially survival or defined (anything else), then why choose to spend time on something like this website that is not necessary for your survival or personal gain? <-- you could be more focused and get rich like zuckerberg!
If the atheist view and/or your personal view on the "purpose of life" is undefined, then why continue to live? <-- if you're contemplating suicide, don't do it!
Is part of your purpose in life simply to discredit theism?
The questions are loaded. If you respond, then they served their purpose. If you read it and don't respond, they still served their purpose. If the topic is deleted, they still served their purpose.

English muthafucka... do you speak it
Hey Brian, in an earlier post you said this:
Your argument does not lead to the conclusion of God, that is false. Your argument starts with God and you conclude with man.
But atheistts do not attack. Atheists well, they're really agnostics on here just have temper tantrums. Rarely anymore are these pagans courageous enough to actually have the balls to argue with me.
The only reason to be an atheist, the only reason, is the attempt to justify a life of evil and immorality. Of Sin and Sex with animinals and murder and theft and liars.
Since the agnostics on here are chrisitanophobes, they hate anything consistent to Christianity (me) because it knaws on their conscious that their lifestyle is indeed evil and it bothers them. So instead of arguing, they throw ad hominems instead.
Ax, you have no argument against Chrisitanity you Xianphobe, nor do you have any logical justification for being an agnostic conceptually that calls himself an atheist semantically. Just pesonaly subjective excused for being a little brat and a dirty prideful ego=centric human being.

No, my argument starts with YOUR CLAIM IS BULLSHIT.

Hi Brian,
Brian, Brian, Brian, I'm trying to help you and correct in via the proper way to logically argue regarding God's Being. In order to argue logically, you start with God and argue down. God is your first principle, not a tooth brush.
You cannot lead to God at all if you start with a tooth brush or the telielogical argument for the existence of GOd.
This is how there heretic who si probably going ot hell WILLIAM LANE CRAIG argues.
Brian, you should be thankful, I correct you and educate you and I never charge you. It's always free. You should be thankful. Alll inductive arguments fail when it comes to "proving" God. They are all fallacious. You must argue deductively and axiomatically from God.

I don't think we are all disgusting. I simply think that since evolution has never been about perfection every species is going to produce actions that benefit and harm an ecosystem. I also think that no species is above consuming itself into a corner.
I think life is imperfect, but I do not thing all humans are disgusting. I simply think we are not above nature and we'd do better to accept that. The ride for all life on this planet is finite, even if we go extinct and other life outlasts us, which is probable. I do think that we ARE the most harmful to the global ecosystem. But I am not willing to say that all 7 billion of us have our heads up our asses. I do think some of us want to do better for our species.

You have a 2,000 year old claim of a magic man in the sky. No way am I going to start from a position of ignorance. Your claim is as stale as a hot dog on a 7-11 grill.

I guess I just have higher expectations from humanity than you do. I am less forgiving of human character flaws than you are. I frequently look for the good in others, I rarely find it. Most people are superficial and shallow but of course they don't see themselves that way because people are naturally narcissistic. When people stop acting in disgusting ways then I won't feel compelled to be disgusted with them. It's not my fault people act the way they do. I wasn't born with this attitude; it came from dealing with and being around other humans ( read my signature ).
You needn't remind that there are "good" people out there. They are as rare as diamonds and don't reflect human nature as it is usually manifested. Consequently I find it foolish to trust other people unless of course you like pulling knives out of your back. Sorry, that's not for me.

The aforementioned perspective in this matter is based on a presupposed generalization of atheist belief. This intentional provocation has elicited the desired results.
As previously mentioned, there is already science supporting the likelihood of life extension.
I never suggested anyone is pulling your strings.
I do not fear death any more than you fear your favorite (american) football team losing a game. Death is simply undesirable.
You refer to a choice between two states, but do not say what these states are.. I will guess, and continue..
An interesting statement is made - "No God can be found in the material sciences". Before continuing down a path of logical assertions built upon this assumption, you must first address the bias in the absence of empiricism.
Personage is a figment of human imagination. Both you and your pet, if you have one, (dog, cat, fish, bird, etc) all have neural signals that direct your actions - albeit yours are more complex.
One of the ending statements you make regarding Christianity is that it teaches you the difference between "animal and human" decisions. This is vague, but you may be alluding to the problem of evil. If this is the case, I encourage you to research this further and you will clearly see your sense of morality is internal to your being.
Your purpose is unclear.
If you have a purpose, and I have a purpose, and we are the only two people that exist (god forbid), then all people have purpose. Purpose is hidden in causality.
I defined purpose earlier using dictionary.com.
I can see why you find it entertaining. It seems your purpose for being here is similar to Kapkao.
To call the atheists here "evil" or "freaks" discredits you. This hints at intolerance which often suggests ignorance.
This is off topic, but he may be referring to the origins of law. Historically, laws and religion contained many co-dependencies.
Chauvin stated his purpose here is for entertainment. If his manner of entertainment is sadistic, then your responses are only feeding the flames.
You may already realize this, but if you cannot define your beliefs in the broadest sense of terms, but do indeed share these beliefs with others, you now have the beginnings of a cult.
Truth is seemingly absolute; your beliefs on what is true on the other hand, are certainly relative.
Well said.
Not sure if you're referring to me, however, the posts have taken a largely off topic turn so I withhold any direct comment.
I agree with Ktulu's following post in its entirety. It is irrelevant to my purpose, but I would be interested to see a compilation of the conclusions your group has come to, especially a treatise on your "forces" theory.
It seems you are confused.
Deism disagrees with you. I will be curiously looking to see in other topics where you have proved this statement to be true.
I understand your sense of pessimism. I haven't been here long, but I noticed you have changed your image a few times. What makes you choose the images that you do? I am curious if there is a purpose behind this.
Surely you aren't serious ?
Could you say how to deal with heretics ?
John Hus or John Huss was burned at the stake for heresy against the doctrines of the Catholic Church I googled pbs secrets of the dead the bible. Results reformer william tyndale labeled a what :"heretic". William Tyndale was also burned at the stake. Am I the only one that thinks Jean Chauvin would have kept this practice up til today ? To be fair, never claimed Jean was a Catholic but I still cant shake the feeling

I'm here for the beer and the bitches.
Two reasons -
1) The only alternative is suicide, and since I'm going to die eventually anyway, why be in hurry to do so?
2) Why not?
Not intentionally. I don't go looking for theists and try to convince them of the errors of their ways, but if I happen to see a theist making incredulous or erroneous statements either about their own religion (I am well versed in the Bible), or about the sciences (evolution, etc.), then I feel obligated to correct them.
So, in other words, we just lost THE GAME?
