Now, the sooner you come to the conclusion that your 'mom' will NEVER actually spank you, then the sooner you can live a full, fun, life. To the limits of the law that is
Ah, so you've died and reviewed the afterlife, which enabled you to come to the conclusion that the "spanking" will never come?  Interesting. 

For anyone who is genuinely interested: everyone does not equal God and everyone is not going to Heaven.  Read more in the book of Romans for further explanation.
Why doesn't everyone = God?

Is a democracy in the kingdom of heaven frowned upon lol, seriously this is one of the things that confuse the hell out of me

universe =monarch

Form of government we like to tout as the best = democracy


Oddly enough democracy has its roots in Christianity once the individual started to actually play a part in what was being dictated to him/her from the bible.

I find it funny that Atheists spend so much time debating God.

If you don't believe He exists, simply go on about your life. Why let pesky little Christians bug you? I don't believe in the tooth fairy, so why would I spend countless hours debating it?

Anyhow, we'll all see who is right in the end.

If people who believed in the tooth fairy had substantial global influence then I'd be against that too. What I object to is policy being made based on mythological stories.

It's not the fact people believe in god that bothers me, it's people in power exerting influence over billions of people based upon religion.

There is no "proof" to speak of from that segment. It seems that you have jumped the gun on your analysis and should rethink or re-watch the segment in order to understand that what you have is just a story of people whom have lived during the time of Jesus Christ. This, if you wish, can partially be taken as a non-biased view as i, myself do not believe in Jesus Christ as the messiah but as a person whom lived during the roman rule of Canaan

As for life, a solid theory is we all crawled out of some symbiotic soup millions of years ago.  It's more believable than "magic."

A. Black holes dont explode, they do end when they run out of food for billions of years, its the supernova that explodes/implodes.

Theory implies being able to stand empirical tests time and time again and proving predictions correct....

Hypothesis though which is the term i believe you are trying to imply simply is an opinion of a believed event that will come to pass or how YOU THINK things will turn out in a given situation.


Honestly, we some how get evolution thrown into the mix but honest to god you have to live in a very sheltered society to think its just hocus pocus.

Aw fuck; the nature of faith is such that no reasoning will undo it.

Why?

Cos its based on anti-logic in the first place. If I attempt to prove the existence or non-existence of God then I have no real facts to commence my reasoning. I must CHOOSE to either believe or not, based on the available data.

However, if I attempt to prove, say, gravity, there are many things I can do which help PROVE that gravity exists, which essentially consists of testing in many different ways to show it is always the same.

Since there is no way to prove God exists, and I CHOOSE to believe, then I am making a choice from a "gut feeling" or instinct, and I will defend that decision merely because it is my decision.

So don't blame the God-botherers, they're stuck with their decision. They've now invested so much of their lives in their belief that to reject it now means so many wasted years, so they must cling to the slim possibility that they will recieve some "reward" for their intransigence.

Just smile, nod, and walk away very quickly, before they need to express their frustration in an orgy of "help save the sinners" violence with the guns and the shooting and stabbing, mwa-hey

also what arcaelogical proof do you want? he isn't going to have a gravestone if the bible is right since he left his cave and wandered around somewhere after he was crucified
There has been a little proof he existed, but non that proves he was the son of God or any of that stuff

I've seen and read many things on this topic over the years and it is my personal belief that Jesus Christ was a man, a great man ...a revolutionary in his time but a man nevertheless. Think about how our media spin things in this day and age even when we have more access than ever to multiple versions of accounts (via the web and opposing news services etc.) ...well imagine the level to which things could have been hyped and twisted back in an age when mankind was still highly superstitious; add to that years and years of translation and inevitable mis-translation and you have a great man elevated to the status of a God.

[EVieira], did you read the article?

From the article:
... "It's a beautiful story but without any proof whatsoever," Professor Amos Kloner, who had published the findings of his research in the Israeli periodical Atigot in 1996, told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa Friday.

"The names that are found on the tombs are names that are similar to the names of the family of Jesus," he conceded.

"But those were the most common names found among Jews in the first centuries BCE and CE"...
There is NO archaeological proof of Christ - period (NONE EXISTS or HAS EVER BEEN FOUND and WILL NEVER BE FOUND).

There is NO historical proof of Christ - period (excepting an errant attempt to interpolate chrestus; in Tacitus; and a known FORGERY inserted into Josephus's Antiquities... both which even if were TRUE; are not contemporaneous accounts; they would BE after the FACT hearsay).

The article and evidence demonstrate that someone (a nobody; an anybody; non-specific; unknown person) died... and that that person had a Jewish name. Nothing more.

The documentary (in the article) is as DOPEY  - as thinking "The DaVinci Code" (a fiction) - has historical merit. Jesus is shrouded in myth... all extrapolations thereof are just myth about myth... the documentary is nothing new - it is just more myth making.

From the article:
..."translated into English - included the names "Jesus son of Joseph," twice "Maria," and "Judah son of Jesus."...
Jesus (Latin from the Greek) - might be either the (Greek name mangle of the) Jewish Name: Yehoshua or Yeshua... this is not even known with any certainty which name is the correct textural appellation namesake.

OOOOoooooo.... wait - lookey here! Oh my fucking God! It must be TRUE if ya thunk it...

Everyone knows that Jesus lived. Science can prove that. If you know what religion is, you would know that Christianity is based on believing that Jesus was God's son, Believing that God created the world. Science can't prove that Jesus was or was not God's son. Christianity is about believing.
Hey goofball... back up that ABSURD claim.  Jesus is a mythical character with no PROOF whatsoever (historical or archeological).

Actually I think the Energy was in the universe before the big bang. As we all know about physics, energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred.

Impossible to answer and prove it (as of today). Therefore we have religion.
No... are you trying to be obtuse? Religion is a reaction to life / death / etc - it is the psychology of a relationship of man to his value systems, traditions, the intangible, self, rites of passage, etc...

AND... actually, it is impossible to prove the source of an effect EVER. It always points to another effect and not the AFFECT-ing thing in-itself.

Knowledge of energy's existence is based upon effects; not the source of the effect. Consider as analogy the ripples on the surface of a body of water. DO NOT consider the medium - the water. Consider the ripples only. And, that you could hypothetically experience the effect of ripples without knowing that it is linked to water. (Water is not even the source of itself anyway). Energy is experienced like; as analogy the; rippling waves ; where the source of the effect (or ultimate source) cannot be determined. If you peel back a layer of the reality onion; it is another ripple; it is another effect and not the source. Even string-theory is NOT a T.O.E. (theory of everything); there is no single reason to assume the string is the source of effects we could theorize as a being a vibrating-string curled up in tiny spaces. Certainty in existence is never implied not in science; not ever.

.. Science is not a religious tradition rooted in myth and the psychological relationships contained therein.
