Because it's insanely difficult to take of those plastic glove thing without getting them inside out?

Then it eventually runs out, and you starve?

You seem to be misunderstanding. God's existence isn't a paradox. Omnipotence, however, is. This would only hold true if something is actually omnipotent. Which is why nothing can be. Therefore, God isn't omnipotent. Now, the same is true for most of God's other traits. Meaning, God must not have these traits. But without these traits, God isn't really all the awesome-sounding, and making God also not what God claimed to be. So *shrugs* God either isn't great, or doesn't exist. If God exists, it's doubtful he created us, as he'd be no more special than any of us, and it'd basically be a very 'hands-off' experience anyway. So he might as well not exist. Honestly, arguing with theists has lost it's fun for me. Same stuff over and over again, you know? Bah.

That made me laugh out loud. Some friends and I were arguing with theists on the Bible page on Facebook (which we all got banned from. Religious oppression!), and yeah, I had people tell me that. Mind, I can't go back and find the exact quotes, but whilst discussing free will, I was told that "God created us with a will. But we must deny it and follow Christ. We do not have control..". What utter stupidity. Free will loses it's point entirely, and no, I will not submit. Nor should any of you. People also said that God only shows himself through 'bad events' (read: DISASTERS), and that if we really all did accept God, disease, death, etc. would vanish. Really, they've been brainwashed since childhood, and I guess this complete bull comes with that..

I'm sorry, but last time I checked, hallucinating, whether from drugs or just because her brain works that way is a bad thing.

Drunk with Sasquatch UR? ..Is he really as 'big' as people say he is? Atlantis, just admit your BSing already. Seriously.

Oh, Atlantis, you said something about pictures? Well, get them to hold still, take a snap shot.. There are ways of finding out whether photos are photoshopped or not..

Allah isn't the same god as Yahweh. In Islam, Jesus is just another prophet, while in Christianity, he's God himself. God's existence in itself isn't a paradox (he simply doesn't exist), but his traits are. Remove the traits, we have no problem. Remove all the traits that cause problems, and you have no God left.

Yay, joy, another theist. This site really was starting to bore me. Okay, but I thought God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit were all one? There isn't really much to debunk here, other than it all being false of course, as I'll just throw is off as a general definition of God as EC will use to argue in his further statements. Alright, fair enough, but what's with the pain and suffering that's just so inhumane? Like the worms that crawl into the eyes of innocent African children as they sleep? Or 9/11, which was done in the name of a different God? Or child cancer? Or random weird deformities? Or severely handicapped children as the result from incest relationships, which the bible had many in anyway? etc. etc. Should original sin really be that big of a deal that Gawd is punishing us, *thinks in bible terms* six thousand years later? That makes God sound pretty childish. "Oh, you hurt my feelings, so I'm never going to forgive you!" I've actually never made that argument myself. But you still claim god is this omnipotent, omniscient, etc. being. So alright, let's break these up one at a time. Omnipotence: God can either create a rock he can lift, or be unable to create a rock he can't lift. Paradox, ergo no God. You could say God is doing both, but in different dimensions, but that still limits the power of both Gods.Still no omnipotence. Omniscience: If God knows everything, then he knew the outcome of all of this before it was ever played out. Meaning, he knew he'd wipe us all out and take us to heaven someday, where we would praise him eternally. ..Well, that's the point? Why should we have to suffer so long, and the worship a god that did nothing for us? An all-knowing god should see our reluctance in this. Yet, he banishes us to hell for not conforming. So.. what's the point? Omnipresence (stolen from page 33 of God: The Failed Hypothesis. 1. If God exists, then he is transcendent (i.e., outside space and time). 2. If god exists, he is omnipresent. 3. To be transcendent, a being cannot exist anywhere in space. 4. To be omnipresent, a being must exist everywhere in space. 5. Hence, it is impossible for a transcendent being to be omnipresent. 6. Therefore, it is impossible for God to exist. Nope, you've proven nothing. We feel pain because we evolved that way. We have suffering because we're conscious beings with emotions. We die because our cells die, which die because after enough cell divisions, the telomeres are exhausted, and the missing bits start to eat into genes. Diseases are caused by germ cells, which just evolve naturally. Also, last sentence is BS. Many devout Christians/Catholics/whatever have died from cancer and stuff. Unless you're referring to original sin again. Well.. didn't Jesus die for all that anyway?

I blame Jebus for the Fall of Rome.. The real Gods would have never let that happen! All hail ye mighty Zeus! (Still waiting for a smitin' from good ol' gawd.)

Yeah, I know. But apparently it didn't affect my grade too much, as I still had a 98 in the class.

I would have kept going, but my almost-step-bro is bothering my to go swimming. I'm positive another 10 could be found with another 12 pages of posts to dig through.

Lmfao, dude you almost made water come out of my nose. I could help with the 'sum' bit. ... ... ... Okay, awkward now. Where the the mods and rookie? Philosophy forum ftw, guys!

Caffeine also keeps you awake, and if you begin fidgeting, go for smaller dosages. I, understandably, wasn't aware of your sleeping schedule prior to posting that, so no, I wasn't suggesting to completely deprive yourself of sleep. Considered leaving the kids at the grandparent's?

As I'm sure anyone could predict, I'm all for it. ..Coito ergo sum... Only joking of course. >_>

Haha. Yeah, far too many of ADParker's posts. I'm sure my hypothesis could be supported experimentally though. Anyone want to donate their teeth in the name of science? Fun facts.. umm.. gah, I can't think of any. Two interesting (disgusting) news stories I remember reading. (Never get into stupid court cases, human idiocy will annoy you): Rape now legal in Afghanistan. Kids send nude pics to one another and face kiddie pr0n charges.

Boy: Dad, what's 'politics'? Dad: Let me set an example with our family. I have all the money so we'll call me the management. Mom receives most of it, so we'll call her the government. We'll call the maid the working class, you are the people, and your baby brother is the future. Do you understand now son? Boy: I still don't understand dad. Dad: Think about it for a while son. That night the boy wakes up because his baby brother is crying. He goes in and finds out he's soiled his diapers. He goes to tell his mom but she's asleep. He goes in to the maids room, but she's in there having sex with his dad. He bangs on the door but no one can here him. The next day... Son: Dad, I understand politics now. Dad: Good, explain it to me in your own words son. Son: The management is screwing the working class while the government's fast asleep. The people are being ignored and the future is full of s***!

Paying attention in class generally works. As does consuming large, and uncannily unhealthy amounts of Monster. Caffeine, ergo study time.

Oh, grade was 175/200. 20 points taken off for not including pictures (...), 5 points off for not being funny enough. Comment at the bottom said character development was awesome, but it was depressing.

Yeah, I noticed the emphasis, but all that shows is that you're still either too ignorant to understand there's a significant difference between proof and evidence (they're not synonyms, for the final time), or you're mocking me, and failing to amuse me, yet alone make a point. I mean, what were you trying to imply, anyway? Seems a bit like you're suggesting the proof of the Pythagorean Theorem I posted isn't a real proof? If so.. "...". "...that's all the 'proof' I have..." sounds like you yourself don't believe in the quality of your evidence. "..It's not real proof, but it's all I have...It's not my fault you can't see ghosts/fairies/blah for yourself...It's proof because I can see it, honestly.." Anyway, my friend said to post the wub smiley after this so you don't hate me. I'm meh on the idea, but yeah..

IT'S NOT PROOF, IT'S EVIDENCE. In all fairness, even you should be able to understand a concept on this level.
