I'm only Catholic when somebody in my family dies now.

kahljorn Jan 23rd, 2010 07:14 PM

I don't know what my religion is :O

Zhukov Jan 24th, 2010 07:12 AM

Raised Irish Catholic, but I'm an atheist because god doesn't exist.

kahljorn Jan 24th, 2010 08:05 AM

WHAT IF GOD EXISTED BUT WASNT ANTHROPOMORPHOUS :( or i guess i should ask do you think god could exist if it were non-anthropomorphous ? would it even be worth calling it god?

i guess religion would still be useless though maybe. No point in worshipping something that prolly wouldn't (be capable of?) see (ing) value in being worshipped.

Our instinct to seek out an eternal paternal figure would be thwarted if god didn't look like us.

Zhukov Jan 24th, 2010 10:56 AM

There have been plenty of non human looking gods. Don't make me look for them.
>:

Supafly345 Jan 24th, 2010 11:13 AM

Yeah, like when lizard and coyote were deciding what humans would look like they chose lizard hands.

kahljorn Jan 24th, 2010 07:25 PM

You mean like the egyptian gods which had animal heads on top of human bodies and still talked to people?

i guess there's like animists or whatever, but I don't really think that falls under the same category or consideration as gods ;/

that sort of begs the question of whether there is a god or not, but I'm sure that you know that.

Supafly345 Jan 24th, 2010 10:46 PM

Yeah, I want to believe in a god, but I don't think any of the myths we have created so far could possibly be correct. And I don't think I should have to make a decision whether there is one or not really. If there is one it probably doesn't exist in any form we have imagined yet, or it may no longer exist at all.

Wouldn't that be a huge pile of shit, if god used to exist but no longer does?

kahljorn Jan 24th, 2010 11:00 PM

I think its ridiculous to think that the potential falsity of the myths about god have anything to do with whether or not he exists. Just because the myths are wrong doesn't mean that there is not a god. Just like its ridiculous to draw the conclusion that, because the myth that hell is in the center of the earth is probably false, there must therefore not be a center of the earth.
As for the later part I would point out that you've already done so, but you were prolly joking so who knows really :O

Supafly345 Jan 24th, 2010 11:15 PM

Huh? I think you jumped to the conclusion that I was trying to dis prove god. I said exactly what you just said- that the myths are just myths and they don't effect whether I believe in god or not.
ALL I WANTED WAS TO BE TOLD HOW INTERESTING MY HYPOTHESIS OF A GOD THAT CEASED EXISTING WAS.

kahljorn Jan 24th, 2010 11:20 PM

sorry i think you edited that in so I didn't see it the first time i read it ;O

ITS PRETTY INTERESTING BUT IS IT POSsIBLE FOR THINGS TO STOP EXIstinG ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE tHE SUBSTRATUM FoR the entiRE WORLDS?

Ant10708 Jan 24th, 2010 11:45 PM

if god stopped existing he wouldn't be god. he'd be some chump

Supafly345 Jan 24th, 2010 11:53 PM

With the power to create the rules of physics that govern our universe!

Dimnos Jan 25th, 2010 10:53 AM

Russian Orthodox is actually a rather interesting religion. But really Baha'i all the way. Oh and...


kahljorn Jan 25th, 2010 11:29 AM

i love how the fish has feet :O

Dimnos Jan 25th, 2010 11:51 AM

Darwinism man.

kahljorn Jan 25th, 2010 07:05 PM

yea i think ive seen it before but I don't really pay attention to pop culture :(

Zhukov Jan 25th, 2010 10:06 PM

I don't know what that wheel is supposed to be doing as far as torture is concerned. It looks likes it just spins around when you turn the handle.

executioneer Jan 25th, 2010 11:30 PM

maybe his feet are tied to something else

Supafly345 Jan 26th, 2010 12:33 AM

Maybe the bottom is in water.

kahljorn Jan 26th, 2010 12:43 AM

maybe you spin it really fast and right when they're about to vomit you aim it up so they vomit on themselves and eventually it drips into a container on the floor so that whenever they are next to the floor their face brushes up against their vomit :O

also i think willie is right :O

Supafly345 Jan 26th, 2010 12:53 AM

Maybe it just scrapes your face against the ground really hard and people laugh at it because its so ugly.

Miss Modular Feb 13th, 2010 11:24 PM

As a lapsed Catholic, all I have to say is...Good Luck, OAO. Just remember that Communion Wafers are not a valuable source of fiber.
