To those of us that follow science and not the hooey you do...
“Hypocrites get offended by the truth.” ~ Jess C. Scott
With respect to its great contributions to society, I think it is important to make a case that science is really affecting society more like a religion now than a field of study or a resource base of useful information. Many everyday people do not understand it at all and accept ALL its teachings on faith. Modern Scientific beliefs are based upon a leap of faith in the big bang theory. It has become a belief system based on faith and therefore another form of religion. Scientists, like priests can explain their beliefs but the everyday people accept it all on faith. Scientists and doctors are the priests of this new religion, getting angry and crying "heresy" when anyone respectfully disagrees with them.

In the book of Job God fell for a bet....if God is all knowing then why did he accept a bet from the Devil...Devil won that round.
So God...who is all knowing...tortures the # out of Job just to prove to the devil that he was right...If I was the devil that is exactly what id do...id go to God and say...hey man...i bet you can't do this...and God, like a fool, fell for it.
So either the story of Job is bull# or something is seriously flawed with your God.
Stop it. Right now. You are making us look bad in front of the aliens.

The thing that always pisses me off..is im open to the possibility a god exists...but i think the bible is bunk....but whenever you point out any kind of logic...the thread dies and it gets real quiet...then maybe one brave soul will pipe up and say "you just gotta have faith" ...
To think of all the wars and deaths that have occurred over religion...then I think of all the peace we could have if we got rid of religion. Religion is awful...maybe the worst thing ever invented.

Job is probably the only book besides revelations that I have read more than once...we are seeing the same words...I just interpret them differently. What I feel like you are telling me is...to not look at what the book is literally saying...but to just get the lesson. But if you look deeper that lesson should have never occurred. Once again..if god was all knowing..why did have to accept the challenge? I'll tell you why...cause it makes for a great story... but if this actually happened...then a man was tortured only so god could prove a point he already knew. And considering how much credit the bible gives the devil...the devil already knew as well. Is that not the most sadistic #ing thing ever lol?

The experinece is the knowledge of Good and Evil, not simply the knowledge of good. We must experience both.

P. But to what good end is pain thus rendered possible ?
V. All things are either good or bad by comparison. A sufficient analysis will show that pleasure, in all cases, is but the contrast of pain. Positive pleasure is a mere idea. To be happy at any one point we must have suffered at the same. Never to suffer would have been never to have been blessed. But it has been shown that, in the inorganic life, pain cannot be thus the necessity for the organic. The pain of the primitive life of Earth, is the sole basis of the bliss of the ultimate life in Heaven.
Aleph is constantly spamming the religious forums with insane threads then does little to no follow up when people ask things...and the follow up he does give is often more confusing than the original piece...he freaking insane and as I have seen other members banned on here for making threads that end up in the hoax bin...im not sure why he is still around...probably cause no mods really know wtf hes talking about.
