I choose to believe in thing that are backed by facts, things that have been proven right. If you want to believe in made up things that may or may not be true then go ahead, but that's not a healthy way to live. I can't prove that there isn't an invisible pink pony following me around everywhere, so should I start telling everyone that it's real? No, because it defies common sense, and so does a lot of the crazy theories in this thread. If there isn't any facts to back it up, it's a waste of time and not worth believing in.

Well, yes, the default position in any argument in which a claim is made is not to believe it until it is proven. Just try and argue that with any Christian and out comes special pleading, strawmanning, and pretty much every fallacy they can get their hands on.

I second this! Seriously. If people need hope that bad and see hope in stained glass or burned toast then they need help. You can live life and do good without following god's or jesus' laws. You don't have to be religious to be a good person. Religion has stunted humanity.

Religion isn't about hope, it's about having an excuse. It's about not being responsible for your actions. It's a fairytale for grown-ups. If you have to fear Hell for sinning and be promised Heaven for having faith in order to do what you think is right, then your morals are fucked. Spreading nice lies don't make lies the truth. I could go on for days about religion.

No, it's wrong because it isn't based on facts. Any assumption not based on facts is useless. Nothing Grapes and Archi have been saying has any hint of truth to it or facts to back it up, yet they act as though it does.

And if simply pointing out someone was wrong made you right, we'd have politicians that prepare for their careers by studying law--wait a minute...People who practice how to bullshit other people in matters over their heads are in. It's not what you see, it's what you don't.

The argument has already passed the peak of the bell curve. We're in the steady decline and soon nobody will be responding and AAO25 will go back to being slow and boring for 2 weeks until somebody else stirs up some shit. Maybe I'll ban a random user, who knows.

Ha!

SIGN ME UP!

MothaGoosE, this is a wild discussion with a lot of opinions. I think it's a good discussion because at least it gets ideas flowing and gets people thinking, right or wrong. I think the moral of this discussion is that there's so much shit fucked up in the country and the world that it's probably best to just ignore it all and live your life how you want as things will go to hell likely after you die so what does it matter anyway.

Understood, however if the argument degrades into argument by verbosity and from ignorance, it's just going to turn into who can fling the most shit the farthest. True arguments are a learning experience for all parties involved.

So does anyone have any solutions, or are we all here to bitch about stupid bullshit? No one here is going to change anything. Opinions based on nothing are irrelevant. I recommend some of you do some research on what logical fallacies are, because this thread is full of them. There's some fucked up shit here, yes, but there is everywhere else too. A lot of it is worse.

BTW: Happy not-living-in-Afghanistan.
