Random question: Is it a CF joke to make the atheist symbol look like a person with an empty head?

I thought the brain was specifically highlighted on it.

Kinda like saying we're capable of using them.

Then wouldn't it be better to color the brain pink rather than black? I would much prefer an atom (even though pantheist has it).

Nah, it has to be real. All of our modern scientism means nothing, unless it coincides my opinion.

I kind of get hung up on the fact that God struck down the tower of Babel, which couldn't possibly have been as tall as our tallest buildings today, but allowed us to hurl people into space (where early people assumed Heaven to be) unimpeded. It does not follow.

I look at it as an emphasis on the brain instead of an absence of a brain.

But then, not all atheists are scientists.

Some believe, as do I, that God confounded their language because technology was advancing too fast; thus He confounded their tongues to stunt the growth of technology for the next two dispensations.

Had He not done that, then the Jews leaving Egypt would have been facing some pretty hefty armament going home.

Not all atheists use their brains either.


I do find it interesting that God broke down the Tower of Babel yet is perfectly content with modern buildings, flight, and even space travel. We are doing a lot more than a bunch of bricks and stones.

According to your opinion.

If God was with them, why would it matter what armament other cultures had?

Joshua fought the battle of Jericho with musical instruments. I'm sure the opposition was more heavily armed. You lose again, AV.

Don't worry, your time is short. Well, actually, you should worry.......your time is short.

Have you heard of Jonah? REPENT! REPENT! REPENT!!!

Threats of eternal punishment show you really care.

Yes I have heard of Jonah. What does that have to do with my post?

The story of a person who was swallowed by a whale. Yes; its a good example of why we find the bible, and the religion that depends on it to be without merit or credibility.

Have you wondered why it is that intelligent educated people dont seem to find the whole Christian presentation to be worth serious consideration?

BTW... if you got it just a little bit wrong, and Islam is actually the right faith, then shouldnt you cover your hair? If you dont, you know, god will send you to hell where you will be hung by your hair in a fire for eternity.

Wouldnt it be wise to cover your hair? i dont but then i may not be smart or educated or even have good sense.

Time is short, yes. Way too short to be spending it on nonsense. Im not going to cover my hair. Are you?

 

[Ursie]

Yes, they do, for what kind of monster would I be if I never said a word and you perished without any knowledge of your ultimate dilemma.

You said "We are doing a lot more than a bunch of bricks and stones"

Therefore, my post. Time is short. We are doing a great deal to anger a Holy God, it cannot go on forever.

It's all those black thoughts we have, the sadness in our lives, leading to darkness and sickness in our brains.

Well, I gather we lead those kinds of lives and think those kinds of thoughts. I've been told so, by some theists, who apparently know an awful lot more than they appear to know. I remember having similar thoughts as a kid in church. When the preacher tells you that everyone who is not a Christian is sick, living in sin and darkness, away from the light and ultimate joy, then naturally, that's what one thinks.

Fortunately not all theists are so silly as to think that they have the strangle-hold on contentment, goodness, happiness, justice, etc. Some still do however.

I'm pretty sure that's a brain - which makes it all the more hilarious that it's implied that the atheists are the thinking ones

There's a Watchmen quote in there somewhere

If God was with them, why would it matter what armament other cultures had?

I suppose now would not be a good time mention iron chariots.....

That is how I feel too! Oh please cover up that hair lest thou be
hung by thine hair in eternal fire. Dont take a chance!

(what is an "ultimate dilemma" btw?)

I get it now. Seriously though, has anybody else noticed how God does less and less throughout the Bible? In Genesis we have creation and the great flood. We have fierce smitings, raising armies from the dead, stopping the sun in the sky, plagues upon Egypt, etc. Then in the NT, he feeds a few thousand, raises a 2 people from the dead, walks on water, etc. Now none of that happens. Why was God so active in the Bible but now he appears not to do anything?

I never thought of it that way. In that case: recant from your evil doctrine of intelligent design or suffer an eternity of stale beer and STD-infected strippers. RECANT! RECANT! RECANT!!!

Just a loving warning from someone who cares.

No, it would be more like:

"I worship a loving God who sends people to hell for not loving him back. You must recant and begin worshiping this great being with the mindset of a two year old unless you want to spend eternal torment in the Lake of Fire."
