Greek 'Mythology' vs the other religions

Nice try, that post i deleted would spark a debate because it was the post that no atheist could directly respond to. As i said in that deleted post: you can actually do what the others never did and provide atleast a small common example instead of playing word games as to how i am wrong and not smart. How can u rationalize the argument if there is nothing to illustrate, no examples and no academic philosophies? You can actually be the one to put an end to my streak by doing this elder god. You can actually put the god theory as an easy answer type by showing a possibility for an option b.

When reps existed, I could get a load of red reps and change it to stack of green reps the next day at will. Ask Fishjiz, he claimed to be a fan of my threads. Be honest Eldergod and hit the like buttons in my posts.

Lets find out.

It’s kind of unfair to a whole bunch of dead religions to act as if the Greek religion the only one remembered.

I brand the OP: Eurocentrist!

Praise the Lawd for all of his bountiful blessings to my 401k!

Jumping away from the internet atheist douchebag framing, religions are competitions, the ones people still believe being the winners.

That’s not how logic and science work. You can’t just claim something and then ask people disprove it. You have to prove it first and then people get to try and disprove it.

401k’s are so dry. Need to get your ass an IRA, Roth IRA, money market account, and some on the side invenstments.

it really just boils down to this:

atheist: Where is the evidence of your God?
theist: …It’s up to YOU to prove Gawd’s non-existance

and yes, as pointed out before, it is up to the person making the claim to provide evidence. If you are a preacher making the claim that God or Gods exists, provide the evidence and people will make up their own minds about it.

lol. That’s not how it boils down. Or maybe that was how the past religion threads ended up during my absence. I don’t know… Theists only say that after their case was presented. Atheists are required to support themselves, even more than theists because they do start the debate with the religion bashing and bragging about science and logical. However, never has an atheist provided even just ONE common example in our reality that life can come into existence with out any intelligent intervention; that a working matter can come into existence with out external-greater energy being involved. All i got was baseless arguing of how it doesn’t mean god exists with out any example to consider a different logical possibility. No facts, all feelings. It’s like arguing with a woman.

Saving the manliness of srk is the reason why i returned, not to win another religion thread so like my posts.

Where is Aphrodite?

She’s chillin’ on a clam

Heh, oh well! Guess I should look harder! :smiley:

Well, in all seriousness! I don’t really have much feelings towards Greek Mythology or any other religious story telling. I see them as… more like short stories and such that highlight issues dealing with morality, culture, change, history, research, enlightenment… If this aspect does exist in real life. Cool! If it doesn’t… uh well… Cool! To some people, religion… Judaism, Christianity, Greek Mythology… it might simply be interesting aspects to speak about among others! Some of the greatest heroes and prophets in the world use religious references as examples or to set an example of current events or their situation!

That’s kind of the thing, people that have got something to prove on the issue are poison. The evangelical forum atheist is just as offputting as the poor old lady knocking on your door to tell you about Jehovah. Actually more, you kind of feel bad for the lady going door to door.

More or less. Religion is a really touchy subject. I really don’t like not being help others though… it pisses me off.

I disagree because the fine christian philosophical tradition which has had an impact on western civilization didn’t appear until centuries later. if it were there from the start, the bible would present an internally consistent philosophy, morality, and theology. but it does’t, because its books were all written by separate people, none of them who gave a crap about philosophy.

paul himself says:

In other words, he was like trololol fuck those greek smartasses THEY GONNA BURN IN HELL! WHO WILL BE LAUGHING THEN!?!?!?

and while the OT does do a better job of presenting a set of ethics/morals that is internally consistent (leviticus and etc), it is pretty barbaric by todays standards. Plus, the NT does AWAY with it, but makes it more vague. “Hey gentiles its ok you don’t need to follow anything in the old testemant anymore you’re all justified by grace! but oh wait … you still can’t murder people…”

Jesus speaks in vague parables. So vague he constantly yells at his disciples for not being able to understand. Real philosophers do not speak in parables. Philosophy has its foundation in logic, and logic is not vague. The NT is vague and contradictory, which is why there are ten billion denominations which can eloquently argue why their interpretation is the correct one.

how’s it contradictory? it just shows the hypocrisy of believers who constantly say its impossible to be moral without religion and constantly drone on and on about family values, the evil of fags, and the erosion of america while secretly fucking gay prostitutes and doing crystal meth. obviously religion is bad, and that’s the point its far more difficult to be moral while believing in a religion. to quote:
“Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction”

yeah see i knew you didnt believe in christianity because what you described is far out there. you’d have been burned at the stake too. although i’m not sure why you believe in the trinity, given everything else you believe. that’s probably your catholic upbringing. the trinity concept doesnt really appear in earlier gospels, so it was basically retconned in. if you think jesus is a physical manifestation of god (whatever that really means), then whose to say there weren’t other manifestations? why stop at a trinity?

Am I the only one that thinks that the bible kind of sounds like a manga?

"The Moses saga was all right

Noah Saga was the best saga

Got a little weak after the jesus saga

But the Revelations saga was boss, even though it contradicts everything Jesus said in the previous saga."- random jewish otaku, who decided to make it into a religion.

Funny when you put it that way.
I guess that makes Islam = Dragon Ball GT.

ah horse shit.

Islam is the newest, most screwed up, and most problematic version of the religions from that region.

Jews = old schoolers and the originals.
Christians = shit started to go south
Islam = lol poor pop music and crap

All still suck though.

Fish give it up you can’t debate against me no matter how much you try; StarvinMartin is in your league. But going back, yes, It’s hypocritical nigga and it shits on every form of comment atheists make against christianity. You instantly try to remind me of keeping my christian values therefore all this christianity is evil is out of the window because apparently if it was then i should be speaking right and speaking on a straight edge. What you gave doesn’t even show religion to be bad it’s just so examples of people who are don’t care.

i can go as down as your arguments by referencing Stalin too to contradict the shit you’ve said in the first part of your post.

LOL, the ignorance. Global Religions can’t have one specific form of practice and philosophies because of cultural and point of view difference, what makes the religious of the same cage is the god they believe in, not the philosophies that bridge to it.

You consistently bring up this “burn a stake” thing as some sort of point to show, but…

  1. Adds up to the facts that you know 0 about history and even christianity because during the dark ages, 90% of the christian community could not even read or even own a bible. So they were theologically ignorant.
  2. Your only best arguments in a religion debate is the dark ages. That’s the only basis you circle around every time, then go on back to your amateur anti-theist sites.

Come on fish, why argue and lose like always and telling the truth about being my fan and hitting the like button in my posts? You with out a shadow of a doubt wanted me to do this thread, and you’ve been wanting this for a long time. I bet you had debates with Marvin and Kix that reached only 3-4 pages during the time i was away from the GD, you are only interested in me and my posts for the last 6+ years.

Christianity started off with Humanist values as it’s philosophies. You are confused with dogma and philosophies.

Confucius, Buddha, [FONT=arial]Hanfei Zi, Gongsun Long… spoke in parables. I think you’re a good guy in real life but you need to do some research on history, religion, christianity, and the bible because all the points you’ve given over the years show that you don’t know what you are talking about and it’s like you are new to religion, etc… Your view on denominations is additionally misinformed.
