<p>He’s not real.</p>
<p>Stanford Prison Experiment is why. Rules and authority and “experts” give us shallow justifications for when we act against what we <em>know</em> is right.</p>
<p>Serve this answer with some grated Milgram stirred in…</p>
<p>People don’t believe in god because they think its cool to be different. Thats our generation for you. Plaid shirts are disgusting. But why do people wear them? cause its different. Everyone is a hypocritical hippy now adays.</p>
<p>I know they, deep in their hearts, believe in a supreme being. Whether its Allah, the holy father, Buddha, Krishna, or whatever. But theyre too shallow to simply share a belief with another person. its ridiculous.</p>
<p>Why do people who believe/don’t believe in God have to be such ****s about it?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>At least a good 10%. Unfortunately, they tend to be the loudest 10%.</p>
<p>Smh. Come the **** on. Can we get off the religion debate? That **** was old a couple of months ago.</p>
<p>I enjoyed it at first, but yes, I am getting rather weary of it now. We’ve pretty much covered every issue where common ground exists, and identified those where it doesn’t.</p>
<p>You can only achieve salvation through Allah and his prophet Muhammad. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This ranks right up there with one of the stupidest comments I’ve ever read. People don’t want to believe in a god because its cool? W T F?!? Everyone these days is a “hypocritical hippy??” Where’s the support for that ridiculous statement?</p>
<p>Next paragraph… No, not all people inherently think that some god exists. That statement is w/o support. Non-believers are “too shallow” to share a belief with another person?? Sorry, but you just sound like a bigot. </p>
<p>But secular bigotry is still huge in America even for how socially forward-minded we claim to be. For example, a politician at the moment could never get elected to a high-level seat in America as a secularist. A large percentage of people in the US (around 50%) say they would never vote for an atheist/agnostic/secular candidate because of the extremely stupid reasons that they can’t be moral and other ignorant remarks. Its not any worse than saying that one wouldn’t vote for a woman, homosexual or racial minority. Its one of the remaining social hurdles. I think its a shame and that **** needs to be stopped. </p>
<p>Even the non-religious part of your comment is off the mark. “Plaid shirts are disgusting” is just your opinion, not a fact. And no, not all people who wear plaid shirts do so to be different. In short, your comment is just completely worthless.</p>
<p>

<p>People are still arguing about it so its only normal to respond.</p>

<p>Are you being serious or just ■■■■■■■■?</p>
<p>
The loud ones were included in the 90%.</p>
<p>Why should I?</p>
<p>We do not believe in god because the very concept of an immaterial intelligence beingl the cause of material existence contradicts the most fundamental of postulates of dialectical materialism.</p>
<p>^way to try to sound smart… NOT</p>
<p>religion is based on faith and you can’t argue that either way</p>
<p>I respect those who have a belief in God, and I wish it touched me the same way, but I cannot force myself to believe. What really bothers me is that people exist that tell you that you are going to hell because you do not believe in what they do. One question I have for those who believe in that… If you were raised by a different family in a different culture, lets say Muslim, what would you believe in then? Does that mean you would go to hell, because you don’t believe in a certain God?</p>
<p>I think if I were to pass away, and found that God really existed, I would accept Him. If I were to die and go to heaven and found it was really a Banana God that existed, that’s fine, I’d accept him too. But until we have proof, I’m afraid there just isn’t anything in me that believes. There is too much corruption and hate in the world, some of it stemming directly from the bible itself.</p>
<p>“We do not believe in god because the very concept of an immaterial intelligence beingl the cause of material existence contradicts the most fundamental of postulates of dialectical materialism.”</p>
<p>Lol.</p>
<p>*** is wrong with my computer?</p>
<p>“Gods are fragile things; they may be killed by a whiff of science or a dose of common sense.”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I think you misread that. I was that at least a good 10% of Christians fall into the “make it easy to not believe” category, but that unfortunately they tend to be the loudest.</p>
<p>People’s perceptions of Christianity are more likely to be formed from the Westboro Baptist types than from real Christians.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Whatever the random percent, I think you are one of these people who easily turn others off to a religion. No offense, but your arguments belong to the perfect stereotype of the intelligent sounding - but in reality clueless - Christian fundamentalist. You always use capital letters, decent vocabulary, good grammar and spell most things correctly but your arguments are complete bunk. (And you don’t make many people happy by saying “homosexuality is wrong” either.) You accept the neutral science - gravity, atoms, etc - but disregard the “negative” that goes against your wishful thinking (evolution, M theory). (Note that “positive” was left out because no science supports your beliefs.) The creationist Christian fundamentalist is probably the last person you want giving science lessons in the same way you wouldn’t want most department store cashiers giving you brain surgery.</p>
