People always ridicule what they don't understand.

Yeah, that's it.....

indeed.

Great, now I have a team of people that hate themselves attacking me. Just because you don't believe in God isn't my fault. Quit blaming others for your own problems. OKAY TEAM RIDICULE? I'll call u "r" for ridiculous. I am not posting here anymore, for 2 year olds in 40-50 year old bodies are flaming me. KTHXGGETC

Flaming you?..........fine take your ball and go home. A word to the wise- You have to grow a thick skin and not take things personal when you post here. I did actually respect what you had to say. Not because I believed any of it, because you were so adamant in defending it. Now you have that, "I'm taking my ball and going home" thing happening. Respect lost.

I don't need your respect. I have the respect of an audience you wouldn't be able to comprehend. www.youtube.com/smpwast3d

That's my channel. Look how many subscribers I have.

I looked at your channel and indeed it's good stuff, but I saw nothing original. See 4 years ago I was a city commissioner. Respect from thousands of real live people, not electronic blips on a hit counter. So look before you leap.

Considering we live in a digital age, those "hit counters" have a lot more importance than you think. How often do you see people coming outside of their homes now? Personally, I feel like this place is becoming a ghost town, for everyone is glued to their computers and TV's, so the digital media hits are of extreme importance.

joel osteen uses both to make money and your point is?

Wow. You're such a peaceful likable guy. Boy, that godthing you found through halucinations must be real proud of you.

Well, I think they're of no importance at all. Whenever I see one on a site, all I can think of is the late 90s, and all those "under construction" banners.

Also, I'd be a bit concerned about anyone who feels that their contributions can be valued according to how popular they are. Surely most people grow out of that after high school, no?

If popularity is a sign of worth, then Twilight is high literature and Jersey Shore is good programming.

You understand the problem, right?

when i did mushrooms all i saw was crazyness growing out of my hands and a distorted view of reality. did i not take good enough mushrooms? cause i dont think i could handle anything stronger. lol. I don't believe in god, and the thought of jesus scares me, because that means zombies are real. and i dont own a shotgun.

Firstly, shotguns aren't much use against a zombie horde. They make you soft, and you'll eventually run out of ammo. A hammer never runs out of ammo.
Secondly, that was funny. Well done.

Okay Arcamedees, I'm going to destroy your beliefs regarding Atheism with Einstein quotes... Ready??? Here we go...

"Anyone who becomes seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that there is a spirit manifest in the laws of the universe. A spirit vastly superior to that of man." -Albert Einstein


can you say owned???

OoooOoooo, OooooOOoo, How about this one....:

"All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force. We must assume behind this force is the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter." -Max Planck -The Father of Quantum Physics 1858-1947


But surely you are more intelligent than those two people right Arcamedees?

the nice way to disagree

another good one

using quotes of famous people does not make you right. and although in my head the idea of a god, as depicted in religious texts, makes absolutely zero sense to me, im not going to act the way you have and pull up random quotes to prove you wrong, and then act like a 4th grader and brag about it. you're in an atheist forum, people are not going to agree with you. some people may change their minds, and some religious people will change their minds. learn to disagree, i think most people here are willing to sit here and have a decent debate, buy you are turning it into more of a circus. these videos are things that depict the way i feel about religion and religious people in general. i will not say you are 100% wrong and im 100% right, we will both find out the day we die. and if there is a god, and they do not want me around because i didn't believe in what some old books told me, then i will be happy to burn in hell. settle down, be happy believing you're going to go to heaven. atheists have to accept that this life is all we have, and have to make the best of the time we have, we know that when we die, thats it.

You're in the wrong forum.

However, if we're playing the quote game:

you guys have a LOT of learning to do...

there is no learning needed. we have logic. learning nonsense written thousands of years ago is pretty useless

Sometimes, some people ridicule that which they don't understand, because they don't understand it.

Sometimes, some people ridicule things that are totally ****ing stupid.

Sometimes, people ridicule things for neither of the above reasons.

If something is being ridiculed, we can't assume that its simply because its not understood.

LOL.
