Space

[Carmichal]

I don't understand why we need religion anymore. Religion was only ever a tool to try to explain why shit happens that we didn't have the tools for. Remember we only think of the
greek gods of old as myth now so I really only give modern day religions a few thousand years at most before something else takes root. Just look how amazing and complex the universe is, idk how anyone can look at me with a straight face and say god is real when there's space! The fact that we are just the consequence of a gazillion little coincidences is amazing! Not depressing! You are so lucky to be alive! Space is so cool and even if I never understand it all in my life I have so much room to just wonder and imagine and be amazed! Do you get it now!?

Also space is pretty awesome. If you don't think that regardless if you are religious or not you're retarded as shit!

i'm more comfortable believeing in a higher power who put all those little co-incidences into place. because it means my life has a meaning, and is not just some fluke in the natural order. a fluke means we shouldn't be alive, and therefore dying out is the best thing we can do for reality. a higher power means that we're meant to be alive.

Note that i don't really like the organization of religion. I believe religion and one's relationship with the divine to be intensely personal. there is no church which conforms to my own belief structure, nor would i want there to be. my beliefs are my own.

praise Eris.

is this what we're going to do today?

we're going to have a religious debate in an ibis thread?

it hasn't started but this subject matter, though innocent, is just begging for someone to be offended

who is debating? lol.

so far, michelle asked a good question, and there has been one or two decent responses, a random-ass jpg, rape being glad phelps dies, and Sin...i don't know if he was trying to say. while its possible he was just saying he is a western baptist, i doubt he'd say that. mostly because its not trollish enough. he probably was trying to say westboro.

no no, everything is perfect as it is, so far we're in the clear

but the subject matter of religion teeters constantly on the brink of one person being offended, then people being offended at them being offended, it perpetuates and we have a bunch of people crying in a thread

i was just pointing out the ease of which it is for this subject matter to pollute a thread :-/
