The choice to post in pink is all mine.

Really don't care if you don't like it.

In case you didn't know, the world is lacking in individuality.

BTW, I've seen no points of any substance coming from you. Merely criticisms on my choices.

And you're absolutely certain you've decided? Fair enough...maybe you should cut to the chase.

In any case, I totally respect your opinions, and I'm sure you've made some valid contributions to this thread. I just don't see how criticising me does you any good.

Apparently you think I'm stupid and idiotic. Well, that's your opinion.

But I haven't seen any substantial reasoning, unless it's the apparent crime of choosing pink text.

Funny, that.:uhhuh:

I meant as in assume God existed as a fact BUT we are still in our world now.

ie. change every 'Heaven' word in the bible or what not to 'Hell' and vice versa.

Would people still believe in God if God was, in essence, 'evil' ? Or would this evil become thegood?

And since you can't win you end up not believing? Lol, sounds abit 'im not gonna believe it because it doesnt benefit me'. Irrationality.
I didn't say the 'you cannot win=end up not believing' i think your theory results in people not winning no matter what they choose [if they did believe there was a god].

'swap heaven and hell around' thing;
I think people might believe god is 'bad' or whatever, but they would still believe god existed, they probably would try and have nothing to do with him though.

You cannot help what you believe. I'm fairly sure many people would say 'we don't believe in religion and god' buuuut i think it's more a 'trying to be safe' thing, and deep down they believe in religon. If you didn't believe in god, then you wouldn't really care about what god said in any religious text, right?

Also, you're saying basically that, you have to not believe to be in the clear. If people follow this and 'don't believe in religion' then wouldn't that mean they're just listening to god and not 'believing in him'?

lol, it's pretty messed up. If you don't believe in religion you shouldn't be caring about what god says. Eh this post repeats itself.

Do people even READ?

Shakespeare, my point is, is that some things should just be left mysterious and INTERESTING. If we know all the answers, we would BE God.

To save lives would be fantastic, and of course, we want to find CURES.

But that's not my point. Rather than constantly trying to discover who our maker is, why can't we wait and preserve some mystery?

hahahahaha. a post promoting abstinence?!
Well, more specifically, God...but we've been discussing how there is now a greater focus on finding cures. Shakespeare posted that website indicating the latest advances in AIDS curing and prevention.

It's quite interesting.

How about condoms?
Never a more valid question asked.


Lol, but you know, in some countries, condoms just aren't even thought of. It's sad really, when you consider how much of the Republic of Congo is suffering from AIDS.

DO YOU HONESTLY BELIEVE UR GOING 2 GET A CONCLUSIVE ANSWER HERE? OR AT LEAST, SOME WELL-SUPPORTED THEORIES?

The truth of it is- NOBODY KNOWS.

Has the world gone hay-wire? Can't we leave any mystery? Do we have to discover everything about our existence and the purpose of it???

Let's give our creator (whoever or whatever that is..I personally believe in God), some credit in their ability to create a race such as the human race, and leave it at that.

If you want the answers, well, there's a way to get them, and I certainly wouldn't recommend it.

Only retards use pink.
Ergo, by my highly advanced deductive skills, I conclude that you're a retard.

Yawn.

You're a little late, mate.

And so be it, I'm a retard.

Proud of it, if it means I can write in pink.

Actually, I thought this was a forum for honest people. And that's what I'm being. Sure, go and discover all you want, but if you're disappointed, don't have a cry.

And excuse me, how dare you call me a class A moron.

Unless you know my academic history, I don't think you have the authority to comment on my intelligence. I'm not dissing anyone's opinions.
Academic history counts for shit all in the real world. Let's see how you and your egalitarian Christian views survive when you're struggling to make a living for yourself.

For fucks sake, please do not tell me that you enjoy not knowing things about the world. Ignorance is not bliss, and knowledge is the only real, tangible form of power that exists. And without some form of power, your life is pointless.

Mind your language, and no! I absolutely love finding things out about the world! In case you didn't notice (well, you obviously didn't), I believe some things should be left to mystery, otherwise, we could be comparable to God in our knowledge. Does anyone actually want to be God? I doubt it.

And no, I'm not ignorant, merely observant of the whims of humanity.

Power. Ha. We all have a little of it, and look what we're doing to the world we love.

:rolleyes:

What? But we were made in God's image to have dominion over the planet. He wants us to learn about his creation for the good of mankind

Well, sure.

But then think about those who were given power and abused it? Who caused genocide and destroyed the lives of billions of people! Are we to forget Hitler and the like?

All I'm saying is, we should learn from our mistakes. Our need to know, and our need for power could ruin us.

We can use our God-given powers of intelligence for good or evil. The choice is ours
