"By some definitions".
So he's agnostic, so what? That's a delightful fence-sitting position for an intelligent person. I'm honored that he recognizes I know more than he does. I'd like people to be intellectually honest and accept that the likelihood of a deity is slim to none. They may WANT it to be true, but their desperation is not a deciding factor. |

Re: Pics For Sharing & Debating
Paul Dirac:
I cannot understand why we idle discussing religion. If we are honest—and scientists have to be—we must admit that religion is a jumble of false assertions, with no basis in reality. The very idea of God is a product of the human imagination. It is quite understandable why primitive people, who were so much more exposed to the overpowering forces of nature than we are today, should have personified these forces in fear and trembling. But nowadays, when we understand so many natural processes, we have no need for such solutions. I can't for the life of me see how the postulate of an Almighty God helps us in any way. What I do see is that this assumption leads to such unproductive questions as why God allows so much misery and injustice, the exploitation of the poor by the rich and all the other horrors He might have prevented. If religion is still being taught, it is by no means because its ideas still convince us, but simply because some of us want to keep the lower classes quiet. Quiet people are much easier to govern than clamorous and dissatisfied ones. They are also much easier to exploit. Religion is a kind of opium that allows a nation to lull itself into wishful dreams and so forget the injustices that are being perpetrated against the people. Hence the close alliance between those two great political forces, the State and the Church. Both need the illusion that a kindly God rewards—in heaven if not on earth—all those who have not risen up against injustice, who have done their duty quietly and uncomplainingly. That is precisely why the honest assertion that God is a mere product of the human imagination is branded as the worst of all mortal sins. A much better quote than one taken out of context. Thanks for playing. |

You, G1, on the other hand, have a problem trying to hide behind honorable causes like theirs, posting those for a short time in between your idiocy on other topics being exposed. (That was obviously another point of mine earlier that went right over your head.) "Give what you get", LOL. It appears you haven't noticed this either: Many people here have trashed your ideas, not you personally. Lies, fear mongering, and insults are all you've had left for awhile now OT. And those tactics aren't appropriate responses to your precious ideas getting exposed as bunk here. |
