Abnormally protruding stomach, indications of possible scoliosis or even worse; This lady could be suffering from stomach bloat! l also noticed a slight tremor (1:15 06).

*...ls God a “trinity?" Was Virgin Mary conceived free from original sin? For me this is totally irrelevant. The real question is; Why has God given all the power to the psychopathic dunder-headed atheistic buffoons?

Everyone of us are responsible of our own souls ,Even God gave a free will to people so we have our freedom of choice ..Belivers keep rejecting "The Free Will" ,the basis of existence ,also denying we are all alone on our path are creating most problem ,not atheists.

People need to live their own life , seems like real disease are those who simply can't follow their own path without a companion.

The problem with Atheism is the denial of reality and making the person or self into God. In many Atheists might think they are free but in reality they are not. In general they have a void a spiritual one which indicates that they know there is a God but they don't want to worship this ultimate reality. Man's nature knows God or a greater power, thus making Atheism unnatural.

The reality of God can be explained by the complex creation in this world. Also it's in our nature to worship and try to know God, this can be found in any society, Atheism destroys this inclination that's natural through artificial means. That said there is documentary which explains the situation far better than I can its called The Collapse of Atheism.

Earlier than in many Western European countries in some. For instance in the EU alone the most atheist country is the Czech Republic. In Europe altogether it'd be Albania.

Catholicism in Poland is still alive on the other hand, but it's almost comparable as the situation in Ireland which is Western European.

Atheism is a bit too dogmatic, anyone heard of possibilianism? :D

Possibilianism

Possibilianism is a philosophy which rejects both the idiosyncratic claims of traditional theism and the positions of certainty in atheism in favor of a middle, exploratory ground. The term was first defined by neuroscientist David Eagleman in relation to his book of fiction Sum. Asked whether he was an atheist or a religious person on a National Public Radio interview in February, 2009, he replied "I call myself a Possibilian: I'm open to ideas that we don't have any way of testing right now." In a subsequent interview with the New York Times, Eagleman expanded on the definition:

"Our ignorance of the cosmos is too vast to commit to atheism, and yet we know too much to commit to a particular religion. A third position, agnosticism, is often an uninteresting stance in which a person simply questions whether his traditional religious story (say, a man with a beard on a cloud) is true or not true. But with Possibilianism I'm hoping to define a new position -- one that emphasizes the exploration of new, unconsidered possibilities. Possibilianism is comfortable holding multiple ideas in mind; it is not interested in committing to any particular story."

An adherent of possibilianism is called a possibilian. The possibilian perspective is distinguished from agnosticism in that it consists of an active exploration of novel possibilities and an emphasis on the necessity of holding multiple positions at once if there is no available data to privilege one over the others. Possibilianism reflects the scientific temperament of creativity, testing, and tolerance for multiple ideas.

Actually is is called "Renaissance".

You have no clue really. The Renaissance is Christian-Humanist in character, the anti-religious and masonic "Enlightenment" thinking came after the Renaissance and the Romantic movement was formed to counter the Enlightenment Movement.

You are an atheist and a hater of religion so I class you into the "Illuminati" or Enlightenment thinker philosophical movement and my Romantic mind frame will rage against your intellectual arrogance and disregard for the beauty of religion and your blatant denial of the human soul.

dude
03-21-2014, 07:13 PM
I will gladly admit I did mistake the Enlightenment period for Renaissance while making a quick comment. However, You just proved the point that theist people are highly judgmental. By the fact that you came up with all that from my comment. Since all of that made up, and quite likely driven by emotion, I wonder how much of that is brimming on Theists literature.

The new-atheism is certainly a disease. It's often embarrassing to see how radical and hateful many of them are and how they endorse their position in pseudo-logic and inconsistent materialistic philosophies.

Not to mention they jump at any opportunity to attack the Church but most of them never really bothered to study in deep what they are talking about.

If you think belief in God is analogous to belief in tooth fairies then clearly you don't understand the least of Christianity.

If that's your criteria atheists lose far behind:


Mass killings occurred under some Communist regimes during the twentieth century with an estimated death toll numbering between 85 and 100 million.

Courtois (1999) "Introduction" p.

Comparison to other mass killings

Daniel Goldhagen argues that 20th century Communist regimes "have killed more people than any other regime type."[52] Other scholars in the fields of Communist studies and genocide studies, such as Steven Rosefielde, Benjamin Valentino, and R.J. Rummel, have come to similar conclusions.[2][26][53] Rosefielde states that it is possible the "Red Holocaust" killed more non-combatants than "Ha Shoah" and "Japan's Asian holocaust" combined, and "was at least as heinous, given the singularity of Hitler's genocide." Rosefielde also notes that "while it is fashionable to mitigate the Red Holocaust by observing that capitalism killed millions of colonials in the twentieth century, primarily through man-made famines, no inventory of such felonious negligent homicides comes close to the Red Holocaust total."[53]

Atheism is the rational position. There is no evidence of any gods.

Atheistic Fundamentalism is a disease, just like its religious equivalent.

Not really. It's a reactionary initiative to challenge the blindly accepted status quo.

Of course there is evidence for God. Atheism is less rational than theism and lacks explanatory power, what is the evidence God does not exist?

You can't prove that something doesn't exist. What evidence for God is there?

It's not true that you can't prove that something doesn't exist. I've notice it is common place in atheist circles to say "well... you can't prove a negative", which is from where I believe you're getting that, but this is total pesudo-logic and not worthy merit. I could prove to you there are no tyrannosaurus on earth, or things that are self-contradictory don't exist, like there are no married bachelors. Also there is no greatest prime number, etc... Even the sentence "you can't prove a negative" is a negative sentence, so if it were true we would never know it. In fact this sentence is even worse because you can always rephrase a negative sentence to make it a positive sentence and vice-versa.
And even if you can't prove something does not exists it doesn't excuse you from saying it doesn't, you should abstain from saying it doesn't if that's the case. But even those atheists who are really agnostics and not 'atheists' in the proper sense, won't bother with people saying God does not exist as they do with those saying God does exist.

The evidence for God is there for people who are sincerely looking for God. It is very evident that our universe is endowed with purpose, and that there are objective moral facts, so there is really a way we ought to act, in accordance to some purpose that is part of the universe and was not put there by humans, if atheism were true there would be no purpose at all in the universe, the wings of a bird are not really to fly, the hands are not to catch things, the heart is not to pump blood, the eye is not to see, the feet is not to walk, these things exist merely as casualties, no argument put forward for atheism could be so convincing and so strong that it could overcome the truism that there is purpose in our universe. "Oh, but theory of evolution!", understanding the natural machanisms and by the virtue of this understanding being able to make predictions doesn't do anything to show there is no purpose in them, just because I may be able to understand the mechanisms of a watch and create laws about how the pointer moves doesn't mean there is no purpose in the watch, the fact that such mechanisms exist and are rational and intelligible supports that God exist, not that He doesn't. Just look at the reality we experience, and ask yourself, given that the reality is the way it is, what is the probability there is no mind or no purpose behind it? The complexity of the structures in the universe, the fact that the universe in endowed with rational laws and properties and is intelligible, there is no reason at all to expect the universe would be like that if there was no intelligence behind it. There are also miracles with no satisfatory naturalistic explanations, like the ressurection of Jesus, the miracle of the sun, the miracle of Lanciano, the miracles revolving about Our Lady of Akita which reinforces that God exists. It would be very easy to disprove Christianity if it were false back then in the first centruy as it would be now, it would suffice to show the body of Christ.


Former thinkers and scientists, like Newton, Leibniz, Descartes, Faraday, understood that. It's only recently that this viral unintellectual idea that rational people would oppose God's existence arose.


Every
man, so far as he is a thing that has perception, is one and the same man during his whole life, in all
and each of his organs of sense. God is the same God, always and every where. He is omnipresent,
not virtually only, but also substantially; for virtue cannot subsist without substance. In him are all b
things contained and moved; yet neither affects the other: God suffers nothing from the motion of
bodies; bodies find no resistance from the omnipresence of God. ’Tis allowed by all that the supreme
God exists necessarily; and by the same necessity he exists [391] always and every where

Kurt Gödel, who was one of the most brilliant man ever to step on this planet and one of the best logicians ever, if not the best, believed completelly in God, in fact both Leibniz and Gödel put forward ontological arguments for God's existence.

Unless one is personally commited to scientism (which is self-refuting) or naturalism (which lacks explanatory power and even if it were true we could never know it by the virtue of it being true), the evidence for God's existence is abundant. Weigh the evidence for God's existence against the evidence in the opposite. God's existence is more sure than many things we take for granted in our daily life.

atheism? no
pedophilia? yes.............and the Catholic church knows all too well about that one, lol

It is a myth that pedophilia is higher in Catholic priests than in other clergy or the generl population.

Actually pedophilia is higher in Protestant Pastors & Jewish Rabbis than in Catholic Priests!

Not to mention they jump at any opportunity to attack the Church but most of them never really bothered to study in deep what they are talking about.

MORE PROTESTANT MINISTERS GUILTY OF PEDOPHILIA THAN CATHOLIC PRIESTS, NEW RESEARCH REVEALS

A Penn State historian, Philip Jenkins, has done an in depth research of pedophilia and sexual abuse among the clergy and has come up with some rather eye opening facts. It seems that while 1.7 percent of Catholic clergy have been guilty of pedophilia (or sexual abuse particularly of boys), a whopping TEN percent of Protestant ministers have been found guilty of pedophilia!
