Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25013 | One of my sisters in law posts a pic of trees turning color on FB. All the other sisters have to chime in about gods handiwork, gods palate, gods artwork. They are incapable of seeing the world without their god glasses on. I always want to post a pic of a dead deer in the woods being eaten by insects and scavengers. For that too is gods handiwork, if the rotting leaves are. But they would get really angry and not speak to me for 2 years. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

On Catholic sites like catholic.org and Catholic Answers they offer what is to them iron clad proof of gods existence. It's stunningly wrong to call any of it proof or even evidence, but they're preaching to the choir or looking for double digit IQ converts, so they can tell any lie they want. http://www.catholic.org/prwire/headline.php?ID=6894 http://www.catholic.com/magazine/articles/a-proof-of-the-existence-of-god If you take a risk, you may lose.

This link is a very good one. I encourage you to read it and respond. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

I read it when I posted it. Their whole argument is based on the faulty premise that they know what existence is. They don't. http://highexistence.com/topic/reality-is-not-real-really/ If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

They always base their beliefs on treating an opinion like it's a fact. You can get the gullible to fall for it, that's about it. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

You are correct, sir. You just have no evidence that the universe WAS created. You just have opinion that you treat as fact. We can't let you get away with that. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

FrGamble Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 67 Posts: 7596 | Actually, I have given scientific evidence that points towards the universe having a beginning. What evidence do you have that the universe was not created? “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

Only if that's your point of view already. It actually points to it being one possibility among many. You just pick the one you like and declare it's fact. You do the same with sin. There is zero evidence that sin is anything more than a human concept. Yet you base an entire religion around it. Some of us need more than opinions and 2000 year old myths. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
