i think its nilhist, but i'm too lazy to look on dictionary.com, but you are right.

quote:
I dont understand some things in religious such as "tongues"? or "speaking to god", or convulsing from the touch of a priest.

I'm not quite sure what causes speaking in tongues. My dad used to be pentecostal, so he experienced a lot of that. I believe that it is a conditioned response. Operate conditioning can get people to some quite strange things. I don't really know how speaking in tongues got started, but i think that because (at least at my dads old church) people are really pushed to being "close to god," and part of that almost required that one speaks in tongues sometime in his service to the church. I dunno... maybe i should ask him.

I dont really believe or not believe in gods. I just dont really care

my main point is dont act like you personally have the answer. However many thousands or billions of years you think the earth has been a round people have been trying to figure out the question of Gods existence. Its cool if you dont believe, it happens, its cool if you belive, it happens. Im just getting annoyed by stuff like 'that proves the non existence of God'. well, stop the presses, someone from tranceaddict.com just figure it out lol. As long as you guys are admitting this is a debate just for fun and neither one of you is going to prove anything thats fine.

oh and to the people who say who are you ... ehm... feck off?

You are right (in the literal sense)

My "statement" just pokes a little fun @ religious fundamentalists who commonly take an offensive stance on the Athiest world view.

My humour isnt working here i better go back to standup comedy...

One total atheist here.

You need to believe in yourself, your family and your friends - Thats all. They are things you can see and touch - THAT ARE ACTUALLY THERE.

Better being a good atheist than a bad theist like micheline.
