@humanbean Exactly. God is there, but the interpretation and characteristics commonly associated to it are wrong. Things commonly attributed to the "will of god" have nothing to do with god.

@humanbean Knowledge IS power! ^^

@humanbean Okay, well explain how it's a sin to be angry, yet God is angry himself, and he kills, floods, and made life hell for a perfectly good man, which brings me to another topic, if God murdered entire armies, villages, new born kids for no reason, the entire bucking world at one point , and Satan just killed one dude once under God's permission and didn't agree with God, a murderous being, how is he the evil one?

@humanbean That's the kid who takes all the stuff to the lab! Just look at him! He's gonna take things to the lab!
-
@humanbean Oh my god. That's brilliant. I'll just have all my school food analysed by a lab. Although the other children might mock me!
-
@humanbean The common interpretations of God subject it's will and motivation to human psychology and emotions.
-
@humanbean God has anger, an emotion found in humans, humans are not perfect, therefore God is not perfect. Dispute this, I dare thee!
-
@humanbean I s'pose so.
-
@humanbean :D it's weird, for most things I give up easily, but cats, just... Cats...
-
@humanbean By what means of examination?
-
@humanbean It simply doesn't make sense, that a completely human in tought entity were able to wield ultimate power. The traditional idea of God is too limited and conditioned to be understood as a super-human entity, instead of something different.
-
@humanbean Basically in shorter form it's like saying "Why not?" to religion in general, I guess. Apparently Pascal said it. I'm not 100% sure of this, though.
-
@humanbean Yes, everyday! Other kids seem to enjoy it. I think it has a weird consistency. Almost too Jell-O like for pudding if ya catch my drift! Haha, why am I confiding this stuff? Must be late man.
-
@humanbean My personal belief is that there's a god, but not in the traditional sense. Omnipotent, omnipresent... God is the universe itself, or, more likely, the will of the universe, not an entity per se.
-
@humanbean The whole, "If you do believe, and it's not true, you lived a good life, but if you dont believe and it is true, then it won't turn out well." I think Pascal said that or something
-
@humanbean Sorry to butt in guys but my school serves whipped cream + pudding every day at lunch! And no I'm not in kindergarden!
-
@humanbean Be careful when searching youtube, since nine times out ouf ten it will be a religious argument someone tagged as "theology" out of ignorance.
-
@humanbean Pascal's theory, isn't it?
-
@humanbean You'll probably be able to find some in forums dedicated to the issue, or even on youtube. The main characteristic is that the parties involved are ALWAYS intellectual, not just zealots who like to argue.
-
@humanbean A religious debate is faced from an involved point of view, with clear and fixed ideas. A theological debate is faced from a third person point of view. To see God and metaphysics as an object to be studied, not a fixed idea to be followed. Even with contrasting ideas, participants can change their personal philosophies. I don't possess much information, I'm a seeker of the apotheosis, I just gather it.

@humanbean I see it as if I believe and there is a heaven, I go there. If i do and there isn't one, I lost nothing. If i don't believe in it and there is, I go to hell
