Jason replied to Andrew Ives's discussion 'How would the world react.'"Right. Just because Catholicism could be proven true, that doesn’t make it right. Bottom line, what is the truth of Catholicism – Worship and love Jesus/God/Holy Spirit or burn in hell forever. So it doesn’t matter if it’s…"
erik112358 replied to Andrew Ives's discussion 'How would the world react.'"To me, the claim, or even proof, of divinity is not a justification for worship. Even in your hypothetical situation where it was proven beyond a doubt that Cathoicism is true, it still leaves a lot of questions. Way too many for me to…"
Graham replied to Andrew Ives's discussion 'How would the world react.'"The non-existence of god, or gods, can never be disproved - it just can't, so give up on that notion. To disprove it, you'd have to get the theists to state, exactly and unequivocally, exactly how their god manifests itself so that…"

So everyone on this site knows that you just can't reason with some people. Even when the evidence is in their face they will blatantly ignore it. So lets say that tomorrow Jesus comes down to earth and preforms miracles and without a doubt it's him and he says that the Catholics are right. What effect would this have on other religions ? on atheism ? You don't have to look at it like that maybe some evidence turns up and proves that no matter what anyone thinks their is no god and nothing can…See More

I am 100% confident that we'll survive and do well as a species.

Becca commented on Andrew Ives's blog post 'Carrying Capacity. Something That Scares Me.'" Will our species opt for reproductive discipline or just continue speeding headlong into a mathematical brick wall?
I'm guessing that we will just continue to speed headlong into that mathematical brick wall. Our species has a really bad…"
Cristynfaye commented on Andrew Ives's blog post 'Carrying Capacity. Something That Scares Me.'"Hey, I'm 31, and I feel scared about those same issues sometimes. I want to have children, but sometimes I wonder if I should just adopt the ones who are already alive rather than bring more people into the world. Or maybe I…"
Heather Spoonheim commented on Andrew Ives's blog post 'Carrying Capacity. Something That Scares Me.'"I can't allay your fears, but I can point out an 'out'. We, as a species, are the first creatures to have the capacity to understand what you are saying and take action against it. The action we could take is social…"

This is a point that seems obvious to me and it's seemed obvious to me for a few years now. It seems like something everyone should know and that everyone does but everyone ignores. The world as we know it is not in a good state, this isn't the idiot cynical teenager inside of me that says were all gonna die because china has a hidden agenda or something we are really not doing to well. We focus a lot on the economic crisis, on the middle east, on oil and in the future we might focus on fresh…See More

You just can't argue atheism with a dedicated theist it's like trying to change a dedicated atheist into a theist. We should focus on creating atheist not converting them.

I see it often enough. At school an atheist and a theist are once again having a go at eachother for no reason other then one thinks differently. Atheist stereotypes generally consist of us having no morals and thinking we are better and higher then everybody else. I like to disagree with these stereotypes as many of us would but it bothers me sometimes the arrogance that we can show to theist.

I have lived in a house were religion isn't very prominent. Church always took second place to sports and as me and my brothers grew older we started to only go on Christmas and Easter. When I was younger I would always despise going to church but I had been taught that god was real and so was heaven and hell. Well by the time I hit about 13 I started thinking about atheism. There was a boy in my class who was an atheist and from an atheist family. I laughed at him once for saying "Thank God… Continue
