@Donsro. I completely agree. The Saints were handed the game. I was so pissed off and I was going for the Saints in the first place.... What a pathetic game. Reminded me of the Seahawks / Steelers Superbowl a few years back...

So pumped for the Superbowl commercials though. haha

That's a funny thing to say. Obviously anyone who doesn't have the same paradigm as you would say the same thing about what you believe.

You didn't really make an argument...

And the things I believe in have at least a smidgen of proof or evidence behind them, that is all I'm saying.

Can't you be logical and think that the story of the Virgin Mary was created to supplement the "holiness" of Jesus himself?


@Nektu, you are right, I was not specific enough with what I was trying to say. The basis of the religion was alive during his life but Christianity as we know it today was developed far after his death.

Side note:

Christianity is a CASH COW!!!! It is the WoW of the real world....... When you could pay for your entrance to heaven back in the dark ages is when Christianity became ultimately corrupt and drifted away from the core values which Jesus had devoted his life to.

K, I misused the word theory.

No need to rant about random things not related to the discussion...

Yes I understood Mephisto and the "greater good" theory created by religion. All I'm saying is that religion creates an unrealistic sense of greater meaning, when the Utilitarianistic view creates a real greater meaning. I see it as the pay it forward kind of thinking, if you make even one persons life better than that person in turn will make another persons life better and so on. Therefor creating a greater meaning, which is world peace. I believe if everyone had this same view, no one could possibly be against one another. But of course the problem arises that not everyone will accept this view.

I believe that without a god that life can still be meaningful and fulfilling. I think it is naive to think otherwise.

My personal belief is that our purpose on earth is only to make yourself (firstly) and as many other people as possible as happy as you can possibly make them.

Why try and satisfy a higher powers wishes when you can focus on improving the life of yourself and the people around you?

sToaster, good input.

"but that is because our culture's ethics are based upon religion"

Umpa65, you have this backwards. Religion is based on culture's ethics, meaning that even without the knowledge of religion in any form, the human brain knows that the death of a human is a bad thing. You see this in Island cultures which have no real knowledge of religion but still maintain the same set of core morals which almost every human on earth can agree with, which are, the seven sins.

That makes sense?

Are you inferring that evil is only things such as the devil and demons and such, or that it is murder and rape and other things?

I like your "rules" argument. I have nothing against it.

And for the faith part. Science does have it's fair share of faith, you make a very valid argument. But, with science, everything has at least some form of hard evidence which reinforces the idea which requires faith. Such as evolution. There have been new species in our recent history which proves that every animal was not created at the same time by a "God". Also, there was a moth in Europe which changed color(from light to dark) over a short time period because of the industrial revolution and it's smog.

Religion is solely based on faith, that is the difference.

Did you notice that three of them are glowing?

and for yours, 9/10. It's the best pinata ever.
