'Turning to the future, Brown said technological change and the development of artificial intelligence would transform the concept of the divine. "We will start to find our spiritual experiences through our interconnections with each other," he said, forecasting the emergence of "some form of global consciousness that we perceive and that becomes our divine". "Our need for that exterior god, that sits up there and judges us ... will diminish and eventually disappear." One can only hope. The god myth is fading fast, it's outlived its usefulness, if indeed it ever had one, except to make peoples lives miserable. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I don't know about that. Generally I have found the more serious one is about being an atheist the more angry and miserable they are about life in general. The President is a fink. |

I don't know any atheists like that. Except Bill Maher and his is mostly an act. The atheists I know are more satisfied with their lives than most Christians I know, who are always worried about something. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

When? He's not thriving now, he's non existent in some of the N EU countries. Millennial's here are abandoning god in droves. It's a concept who's time has has come and gone. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

zippyboy Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 2 Posts: 665 | I get a kick out of the people being interviewed on TV after all these storms we're having, saying "The hurricane/fires destroyed my neighborhood, but thank God I survived!" with tear in their eyes. Thank God? Hey dummy, God just threw a storm at you and missed. He took away your house, your job, all your friends and family. He tried to kill you, but you lived. Guess he'll have to try again, won't he? HE WANTS YOU TO DIE, IDIOT! And yet you stay loyal to "God's Plan"? People might have sympathized 200 hundred years ago. Now they sound so f-ing stupid. Who believes in god anymore? Seriously. |

Anyone who thinks seriously and deeply about why there is something rather than nothing. God wants you to live and live forever. To live grateful for your blessings and to share them with others. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |

It takes no serious thinking to believe a fairy tale. You believe because you were told to at an early age.
God wants whatever you want him to want, he's your invention, you make him up as you go along. I see people do it all the time. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | What are the requirements? Is that all you have to do? What happens to those that don't make the cut? Is Catholicism a religion where if people don't do something right, they end up in some firey hell forever? Is heaven open to people who aren't Catholic? The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

https://youtu.be/quY0mRlL5FQ?t=89 You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
