Core27

I am an atheïst, I don't smoke and I sometimes drink. I'm just promoting this subject because I believe that cannabis has many positive effects (f.e. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DttdDOqQMuY) on people and legalizing would decriminalise and decrease price. You should just compare how many deaths war through religion have caused compared to people overdosed on cannabis (millions versus 0)... Now can you shut up? I would've gladly shut up without your request. I wish you luck on your quest to approve just another crutch for the weak minded. May their ambition rest in peace...

The problem is that he is using science, and polluting it...even deGrasse called him out on it. So A) how is he forcing beliefs on anyone? He's a condescending asshole who doesn't know how it all started... I present my beliefs on this forum all the time, and for that many athiests consider it as if I'm shoving it down their throat...aka forcing it on them...I'm sure you've heard normiss crying about it... You got me all wrong Sir...I have no problems with evolution. If God made a fat tree appear right before my eyes yesterday, and then a biologist came along and told me the tree was here for 100 years, I would understand why he believed that. If people didn't falsely use science against the idea of God, then I doubt we'd have these problems... People use the idea of evolution to dismiss God, but they have know idea how it all got started. If you don't believe in God, fine, but leave science out of it.

The debate to prove or disprove God is futile. However, Christ can be experienced if you have the courage to surrender and ask Him to come into your life. Once you experience Him and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit the understanding of God becomes self evident. Change "Christ" for "Allah" and Muslims will say EXACTLY the same thing, and be just as correct. Not true. well in their defense they haven't even tried...hell, they can't even get their analogies right.

OK now I am certain you are trolling. Your measure is completely off...try again.

This is a petition for people who want the European parliament to vote on the issue. There is no voting against. You are just one angry person... Ya, I'm angry against the hypocrite atheists who call the religious weak minded and then go smoke a joint/drink to deal with life. I know the people here and what they do...I have no problem bringing it up in this thread.

The problem is that he is using science, and polluting it...even deGrasse called him out on it.

Religion has nothing to do with my question. Please leave this conversation since you asked to leave you out of it. It does fit...I ask to leave me out of your vote...if you wanna smoke pot, what business is it of mine? You want to force me to vote? Then I vote no!

Hmmm - because Christians clearly don't smoke pot, drink or eat spicy food? Not sure why you have brought religion into this one. I brought it because it's fits...it's what's on my mind. Atheist here bring up weak minded christians but their posts resemble that of pot heads... This forum is notorious for pointing out hypocrisy...

Again, I think you have it backwards. Evolutionary biologists aren't "out to get" religious people, they are just explaining the facts. Even dick dawkins forces his beliefs onto religion...how much more the ignorant atheist? Everything would be fine if they just kept science with science instead of crossing their bounds and using it against God...they are a disgrace to science, much like westboro is a disgrace to christianity.

I've seen the damage that cannabis can do...if the government (people) want it, then fine, just leave me out of it... I also know it can do some good, but again, leave me out of it... Also,its sad how many atheists call christians weak minded, but then have to smoke pot/drink to deal with life...or whatever vice that has them enslaved. Christ is there to free you...He's your last and only hope...because, lets face it, no 12 step program is gonna keep you clean...

Evolution shows us clearly how things work as we see it. I think many religious people are skeptical not because of what evolution is, but how many people want to use evolution against the idea of God. Let's face it, do religious people really understand evolution? They pretty much only learn/hear of the concept from antagonistic atheists. It's the same with idiot atheists...they never really studied evolution. Maybe they had a class or two in elementary school or high school...or not, but all of a sudden, they're on the internet forums as evolutionary biologist experts condemning the concept of God... Why should they? who cares? what benefit does the knowledge of evolution serve other than to the biologists who can take advantage of that knowledge? If that knowledge would do nothing for them, why would they accept it when it's forced down their throat by atheists falsely using it to dismiss God? I'm not trying to be closed minded...I just think that people would obviously be humbly agnostic if they did not know, such as Einstein...Atheism seems to be much more of a defensive ideology. It has to acknowledge the concept of God...a concept that they take offense to. I just want to know why? Did they inherently come to the idea themselves only to reject it, or did they base the idea on some negative external influence? Hint: It's a loaded question

Take your pick - the evidence for each is identical. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_creation_myths If you were wondering around this world with no external influence of God, could you not see yourself looking up to the sky and asking yourself, why? who? You have a tendency of avoiding direct questions...I'm guessing this question will be no different...you'll be to chicken shit to give an honest answer without being some type of arrogant smart ass...or you'll avoid completely.

Ya, I'm a big proponent of that separation...I certainly don't want your atheistic government imperialism in my faith. Thank God He protected us from you people... Then you sit here and wonder why contention exists... get a clue...

Not debating that we don't know the answer to that. I'll tell you one thing though - "the magic sky wizard did it" is not a terribly likely answer. Maybe not, but to call someone delusional for even believing that there might be some intelligence behind the organization represents a person of dick-headed proportions... My argument is against ignorant atheists, especially those who never even studied evolution nor really understood it, who feel the need to blindly parrot it as if it was even plausible "evidence" against the idea of God...

There is no doubt some truth to that... Scripture actually teaches against "religion." This is where you actually have to give yourself over and actually study the bible for what it actually says in all of is historical, cultural and circumstantial context, along with the original language...it's not easy and it's apparent you're ignorant of it. None of this knowledge is actually necessary for "salvation," but it might help to have somewhat of a basic knowledge if you'll be harping against it... Btw, what's your definition of mentally weak? I know of a lot of atheists who also fit that description...
