“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” (NIV 1 Corinthians 1:18) We see what this verse tells us everyday. People look at us as foolish, even though they are perishing.
Well, this amounts to nothing more than name calling. Real mature for the supposed divine creator.
Some people
Who you calling “some people?”
reblogged my original Purpose post. They didn’t understand obviously because they said, “What if that child cures cancer.” What purpose is there in curing cancer if we all die anyway and there is no God?
People wouldn’t have to have cancer. They could enjoy a cancer-free life with their loved ones before they die anyway and there is no god.
There is no point in saving lives if their is no God.
*there
And yes there is. Living is fun and I want to live. Life is where all the best stuff happens. Have you heard the albums Jimi Hendrix recorded after he died? They’re terrible! He clearly was at his creative peak between the time he was born and the time he died. Why isn’t enjoying life and wanting to prolong it enough? Why do I need to follow it up with some magical trip to never never land?
You live and you die in a world with no God.
Yeah! That’s what I’m saying, and it’s OK.
A world with God you are dead, born again, and then given an eternal life.
Depending on which particular god myth you believe for no good reason because there’s no evidence for it. Your desire to live forever can’t make it so.
Also we don’t have our children glorify us because we are not perfect and technically we indirectly made them if God exists.
Nah, son, children are made using your junk. It involves a lot of stickiness. Also, you missed the point of my analogy. Why would a god need constant praise, why would that be something that a god would desire? He’s already a god, he’s got limitless powers. He could play any Super Nintendo game he wants and his console never farts out, no matter how old it is. He never even has to blow on the game. Why would he have needs or desires at all? If you were the most powerful entity in any dimension, how could you want for anything?
God is perfect though and he formed us and gave us our life. Why would we not praise his gracious name?
If he was perfect and he created us, you’d think he’d have gotten a better result.
And yet she’s wearing a cross which represents one of the oldest manifestations of the patriarchy.

Seriously… Ok but judging people until they feel like killing the self but claiming only god can judge you…. Love your neighbors as thy self.
I’m gonna laugh when this Alamo fuck kills himself (no sympathy for child raping cult leaders)
OH, NO. What horrible, tragic event happened in Delaware today?!
A school shooting?!
A bombing?!
…two consenting adults being able to fall in love and get married?
Judging by the haters, looks like Delaware has become the 11th state to approve same-sex marriage! WOOO!
…
I can’t help but notice none of these tweets say anything like “there’s no reason to believe in the existence of any gods and I hate homos”
RELIGION DISTORTS PEOPLES’ SENSE OF SELF-WORTH:
Elizabeth Smart spoke at a Johns Hopkins human trafficking forum, saying she was raised in a religious household and recalled a school teacher who spoke once about abstinence and compared sex to chewing gum.
“I thought, ‘Oh, my gosh, I’m that chewed up piece of gum, nobody re-chews a piece of gum, you throw it away.’ And that’s how easy it is to feel like you know longer have worth, you know longer have value,” Smart said. “Why would it even be worth screaming out? Why would it even make a difference if you are rescued? Your life still has no value.”
NEWARK, N.J. — The agreement with prosecutors, reached after a priest’s conviction on charges that he fondled a teenage boy were thrown out, was unequivocal. The Rev. Michael Fugee could return to ministry in the Archdiocese of Newark, but was barred from having unsupervised contact with minors or a job that requires him to oversee or minister to children under the age of 18.
Fox News links National Day of Reason to Holocaust.
“You know the Age of Enlightenment and Reason gave way to moral relativism. And moral relativism is what led us all the way down the dark path to the Holocaust.” — Some idiot on Fox.It’s like a living monument to Godwin’s Law.
Congressman Lamar Smith of Texas really does not understand science. Not scientific method, not scientific theories or laws, none of it. Which is why he submitted a bill draft titled the “High Quality Research Act” which would in effect add a politician into scientific studies.
The bill says that any research done using federal funds (which is the majority of research done in the United States) must have its results and finding approved by the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the Senate and the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology of the House of Representatives. If the findings are not agreed to, the research is taken from the researchers and disposed of by Congress as it sees fit.
Small government? You’re doing it wrong, Lamar!
