there are no souls to be

there are no souls to be lost, o sariputra.  there is no place to find, nor any from which to lose one's way, other than in the realm of maya.  samsara is nirvana and nirvana is samsara.

om shanti shanti shanti.

"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright. . . . Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I. . . . And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."
--Hunter S. Thompson

 Interesting that you pray

 Interesting that you pray for us to find him instead of for him to reveal himself to us. I'd think you'd want him to do something effective.

Well said Brian.  That's why I gave this christianoid a one word answer of "Satan" when he/she asked "who created science?" in their first post.  Hardly worth the keystrokes.

Is this your way of teaching all nations?

Kind of lame.

In a similar way, I would hope that at some point you grasp that you have been deceived by myths and storytales conceived by those who had no idea that antibiotics can cure leprosy.

Wait a sec, these people had no idea of mental disorders, bacteria or of viruses. And you take their fantasy stories as based in reality.

Actually, I know exactly what I do.

Sonny, you aren't just lost, you dwell in the land of never was and never will be.

The Yahweh and the Jesus clearly had a severe miscommunication about when the kingdom of the god was to come. Little known to the Jesus, the Yahweh crashed his spaceship in the asteroid belt and lost communication with the Jesus. The local Galactic patrol picked up the Yahweh for reckless endangerment of a solar system for flying under the influence and no valid captain's license. He is currently serving 10 to 20 eons for his crimes. If he can manage good behavior, he might get out before the next ice age. However, he will be on probation for at least 200,000 years for his reckless behavior and can not operate space ship until he takes remedial hyper space operation training. Even then, he is banned for eternity from this quadrant for his actions.

So There!

Just another troll

 This dude is just another internet troll, hardly worth paying attention to. 

The old testament uses bird shit and animal blood for effective treatments of illness (Read Leviticus).

Doctors use anti-biotics and surgery to treat serious illness, when you get sick who do you trust more. 

 

Science has given us electricity, computers, air conditioners, heaters, stoves, refrigerators, cures for illnesses, the elimination of certain types of epidemics, enabled us to travel into space, split the atom and countless other things that have advanced the human race. 

What has religion given us ? When the Black Death hit Europe in the Middle Ages, RELIGION blamed it on god's punishment to the wicked, they blamed it on the Jews, they blamed it on sin. 

Centuries later, it was science that solved the mystery. 

It was science that provided medications to help people with the HIV infection to live long and healthier lives. What did religion do ? Blamed it on God's punishment to gays and people that had sex outside of marriage and predicted the end of time. 

Science discovered epilepsy and the treatment of seizures. What did religion do ? Blamed it on demons that must be cast out. 

Surgery eliminated such things as blindness from cataracts, ways to remove malignant tumors, ways to solve heart problems to enable people to live longer. What did religion do ? Stood by people's beds and prayed that the afflictions would go away and when they did not, they averted back to "God has called him home" 

Science flies rockets to the moon, religion flies airplanes into buildings. Science looks at neurological and environmental factors that motivate human behavior, religion just fills everyone with guilt and shame. 

Sorry, but it is the believers that are lost. Not the Atheists. The fact that religion is rapidly declining is almost proof of this to me. 

“It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.”

The old testament uses bird shit and animal blood for effective treatments of illness (Read Leviticus).

Doctors use anti-biotics and surgery to treat serious illness, when you get sick who do you trust more. 

 

Science has given us electricity, computers, air conditioners, heaters, stoves, refrigerators, cures for illnesses, the elimination of certain types of epidemics, enabled us to travel into space, split the atom and countless other things that have advanced the human race. 

What has religion given us ? When the Black Death hit Europe in the Middle Ages, RELIGION blamed it on god's punishment to the wicked, they blamed it on the Jews, they blamed it on sin. 

Centuries later, it was science that solved the mystery. 

It was science that provided medications to help people with the HIV infection to live long and healthier lives. What did religion do ? Blamed it on God's punishment to gays and people that had sex outside of marriage and predicted the end of time. 

Science discovered epilepsy and the treatment of seizures. What did religion do ? Blamed it on demons that must be cast out. 

Surgery eliminated such things as blindness from cataracts, ways to remove malignant tumors, ways to solve heart problems to enable people to live longer. What did religion do ? Stood by people's beds and prayed that the afflictions would go away and when they did not, they averted back to "God has called him home" 

Science flies rockets to the moon, religion flies airplanes into buildings. Science looks at neurological and environmental factors that motivate human behavior, religion just fills everyone with guilt and shame. 

Sorry, but it is the believers that are lost. Not the Atheists. The fact that religion is rapidly declining is almost proof of this to me. 

science can not do anything by itself  - it takes something else for science to work - again you are wrong - atheists are the only ones LOOKING for answers - not people who KNOW the truth - because it will set you FREE from looking

BULL FUCKING SHIT!

SCIENCE IS NOT A THING, it is a system of testing and falsification, humans developed used to describe  observations. Just like when you move your legs forward in a fast motion "running" is the observation. Running is merely a word describing an observable process. Science is a METHOD not a thing. Science is the language humans developed to describe observations/

The universe was not invented. Humans were not invented. The planet was not invented. NON OF REALITY is an invention by a fictional sky daddy. I am sorry if you don't want to face it, but a god is not required for anything in the universe or life on this planet to occur.

Quote:
atheists are the only ones LOOKING for answers

DAMNED RIGHT! You wont childishly try to paint that as a bad thing. Seeking answers is why we have modern medicine, cell pones, space exploration.

How the fuck do you think you are typing on your computer? Is it Allah based software? Is it vishnu based software? NO. It is the result of HUMANS seeking answers through scientific method.

THE EARTH IS BILLIONS OF YEARS OLD. THE UNIVERSE IS 13 BILLION YEARS OLD. Evolution was around long before humans existed and will be around long after we go extinct. When our species goes extinct your pet deity claim and all myths invented by humans will die with our species because there will NOT be any future generation to sell these myths to. The planet will go on with out us, the universe will go on without us, and there will be no fucking record of our existence. PERIOD!

If you want to wallow in superstition and fairy tales written by tribal desert dwelling scientifically ignorant goat herders, we wont stop you. But the future is not dependent on belief in your deity, just like our species has done fine without believing in Thor or Allah or the Egyptian sun god Ra.

You already accept that Neptune does not invent or manufacture hurricanes. So don't be a dip shit and expect us to think your pet god is any less made up than the dead myths prior in human history. Your pet god claim is not special to us. It is merely another mental placebo humans have invented because of selfish narcissism born out of ignorance.

You're so lost you could not find your nose even if you started with your mouth and headed north.

Unlike you, I (and the rest of RRS) actually am on a road to finding the real answers. Science gave us medicine, Martin Luther called physicians fools and told us that diseases were caused by demons because Jesus said so. The truth is the sun does not orbit around the earth, the earth is not older than the sun, there never was a global flood and nor did Jerusalem ever witness a massive zombie invasion.

Youre religion does not provide us with any answers, in fact it tries to suppress the real answers.

"To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is just as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin." - Cardinal Bellarmino

In short, your "road" is already NOWHERE. In your arrogance, you think you already have all the answers since you could tie your shoelace because mummy and daddy told you their favorite fable written by superstitious men from the Bronza Age who thought the earth is older than the sun. Unlike the rest of us, we are actually the ones moving. We are moving on a road that actually provides answers. Look where that got us. Welcome to the 21st century.

Strange how the church kept insisting that the Earth was flat even when science was proving otherwise.  

 

Strange how the church insisted the sun revolved around the sun, when science had long proved it otherwise.

 

Strange how the church believed sin was the cause of  the Black Death and the plague of 1665. When it took science to discover germs, hygiene, vaccinations, and medicine.

 

Strange how the church said that 9/11 was punishment from god, when any rational person could see that RELIGION is what CAUSED the whole thing. 

 

Strange how the church keeps predicting doomsday prophecies that have never come to pass, where as science is always looking for NEW frontiers and knowledge. 

 

Strange how the god of the old testament was so cruel and torturous and Jesus was an asshole, yet they are supposedly filled with love. 

 

Strange how the church burned so many women for birthmarks and moles on their bodies for being witches before science figured out what caused them. 

 

Strange how the church, even to this day, blames catastrophe's like hurricanes and floods on sin, when it was science that unearthed how the weather works. 

 

Must I go on ? I am not sure what TRUTH that you are speaking of, but the history of your TRUTH certainly has yet to prove itself to be a reliable source of information.

“A meritocratic society is one in which inequalities of wealth and social position solely reflect the unequal distribution of merit or skills amongst human beings, or are based upon factors beyond human control, for example luck or chance. Such a society is socially just because individuals are judged not by their gender, the colour of their skin or their religion, but according to their talents and willingness to work, or on what Martin Luther King called 'the content of their character'. By extension, social equality is unjust because it treats unequal individuals equally.” "Political Ideologies" by Andrew Heywood (2003)

Hey OP

Hey OP,

You're wrong. There may possibly be some people on this site that God hates. Did God not hate Esau (Romans 9:13). Or did not not King David ask God to destroy his enemies. Does God say He does not hate the wicked. Not wickedness, he hates the wicked. Noun.

So keep pluggin away, but you're wrong. Obvioulsy we don't know who's going to hell ultimately on here. Tony Jeffers may be a good guess lol.

You need to study apologetics through the science of systematic theology and then understand the psychology of atheism. When was a kid, I went undercover at an atheist church lol called, "The Center Of Rational Thought." They had a guy who would preach atheism, and even passed the plate around. I would answer phones and would also get access to wierd places.

You see, i didn't just sit at home and sit on my thumbs and say ohm. I interviewed hundreds and hundreds of atheists. Probably have read more books on atheism then most atheists on this site.

I can now smell an atheist and know when they're coming. Usually when i first meet them I give them soap.

Jean, of course your God hates some people. He's built from the pattern in your mind so the people you hate are the people he hates.

Oh, and you can't use systematic theology until you can agree on some axioms. There as many axioms as there are systematic theologians so good luck withthat.

Now Jean, why would I be the first one you think of when it comes to the hell-bound? Evil  -and after all the wonderful moments we've shared.  "The psychology of atheism"-eh?  I didn't know we had a special psychology all to ourselves. I guess it makes sense tho if it excludes all humans with the inability to reason? Looks like I still have much to learn. Oh, I forgot you don't think I'm a real atheist. I guess your new buddy "arau" doesn't either. Maybe you guys can still save me.

I'm not surprised you had to go undercover to get into "The Center of Rational Thought" .  How did you evade the theistard scanner at the door?  I think your cover was blown and that "weird place" they put you in was just their holding cell for the nutbags that stumbled in off the street.  I mean, you don't really think they put you in charge of answering phones do you? It was probably just a recording and you were talking to yourself.   

Good to have you back Jean. I really have been worried sick Very Sad   In case you missed me in that other thread, I'm dyin' to hear about your volcano.

Hey Tony,

I was kind of joking around about the hell thing with you. There is no yellow stripe on the backs of those who are hell bound and those who God hates.

And you don't even know what epistemology you are using. You also mix them up and shake them around. You cannot reason that which you don't know. Youre confusing reason with feelings. Atheists feel and then they conclude, they don't reason.

Because we don't reason as you do? The "I like <x> so God must like <x> (as my God lives in my mind). So <x> must be true." style of reasoning?

You are so predictable.

"Did god not hate whoever" nope. Why? Because something that does not exist cannot hate. The very fact that you imply that god hates (a human emotion - a functional, natural, evolved physcological response in a natural brain) shows that god is nothing more than a mere projection of the human pysche - an image created in your own mind.

huineng would strike you across the mouth (respectfully), then you might really have some episteme with your logos.  other than that method, there's little hope for you.  it's a very good horse who runs at even the shadow of the whip.

"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright. . . . Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I. . . . And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."

Can tell you about near death . . . .

 This is not a new angle you've come up with.  Not a new a gambit.  It's like the old there are no atheists on an airplane plummeting to its' doom. WRONG!  Whatever the belief-system is, 'is' what they are checking out with. I could tell you about  loved ones not looking good and how I became very Pro-Life after the lawyers had my grandpa "killed", by pulling the plug. But, I cant talk about that without tearing up so I will share that some other day maybe. I can tell you about a personal experience of life and death that I will not go into the details that might help your understanding, a little though. I fell and slide down a ravine into a deep canal with giant signs stating 'warning do not approach'. I was pushed under the water and I was in icy water with no way out. I swam back and forth from side to side looking for a way out. Now thankfully there was a crack in the steep walls that allowed me to Bear Grylls my way to safety. The entire time I was thinking I wish I payed more attention to what Bear Grylls (Survior-man) on cable would do. Honest that was my only thought. It sounds funny. I very nearly died and was almost news at 11. A theist in a similar situation would have done everything I did. All up to the obvious prayer. This is what happens when your in a situation. Your mind is focused on what is at hand. Professionals with training have the purest mindset dealing with what is at hand. No long goodbyes, no thousand regrets. The brain acts in an entirely unexpected way. A theist would have done the same. Using bloody stubs to get to safety. Who knows maybe they would have spent less time in the water? But everything being equal it would be the same way out I found. Or nice been knowing ya. Not a loved one but I already said I personally cannot discuss that yet. Hope it helps.  I mean I hope it sincerely helps bridge a gap between all of us here.  I actually have alot of questions about the bible and if you are willing to hang around I would love to ask them. Not a trap or to debate just for my own understanding. Not everyone is interested in this so something to think about before you head off. Tom is no longer with us or ask him. Understanding is something I always seem to naturally need. Why people think the way they do.  So, Understand what others make of things always seems to help me in every way. Honest! My motive is not weird but about as straightforward as you are ever to find.  I need to know  Smiling

I hire the best doctors I can find, stay in communication with them on my loved one's condition and possible treatment options that are available and allow my loved one the choice of whether or not to pursue treatment. Meanwhile, I spend as much quality time as possible and do what I can to make their possible last days alive as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Oh - I'd convert them to christianity on the spot, we'd all get down on our knees on the lino and plead for mercy and once we'd done that the loved one would be immortal and could not really die and all would be well with the world. 

In fact, we'd say things to the person like, well Bob, I'll see you in heaven! or Save me a spot in the Paradise Cafe! or I can't wait to see you again when you've got your hot, new body!

But when we left the room, Bob would lie there unaccepting of life's central and immutable truth, alone and afraid.

STUPID FUCKING QUESTION!

Do you think that there are not people who hold different god claims than you do that don't have the same feelings? Do you think that our species, if without your deity are not capable of the same emotions?

Do you really think that a Muslim, or Jew, or Shinoist or atheists don't have an emotional reaction to trauma or extreme stress because they or we don't buy your personal belief?

The answer is that we all react differently to stress. Some handle it well, some don't. But when it comes to loved ones, it is  all the same, we dont want them to die.

I freak out when my mom has been in the hospital. I may not always show it outwardly, but for you to imply you have a master plan of "what to do" as if life is a script, is absurd, and insulting to all others outside your label by implication of the question itself.

Since you have all the answers, or think you do, please tell us oh wise one, what is the perfect script reaction to when things go wrong?
