This thread locked for consideration as it doesn't seem to be EoG material.

[derail] All hail the great saviour JMS who preached that the day would come when the sun burned out, all hail His chosen speaker Sinclair (Valen, the One etc...) and His right hand Ivanova. All hail His Holy Work, the great Babylon 5... Ok, you can get back to your regular thread now. [/derail]

Atheism isn't a religion, it is the absence of belief in god.

Atheism does not require faith, it just requires and dose of commonsense, logic and reason. Religion and theism on the other hand such as Christianity requires the suspension of reason. In other words, all you have to do is "just believe", you don't even have to overwork the brain tissues too much, it's that simple actually.

What makes you think (assume) the big bang was created? And if you assume it was a god, then, who created god?

Wow! Fascinating! Folks, we have an Atheist on this message board who knows exactly who or what made the Universe! Wow! What stellar wisdom you have, Gnostic! Why are you sitting at a computer screen? Don't you have a Universe to run or something?

Responses to your original post have been made. Do you have any substantive commentary?

By the way, I don't recommend you try to use sarcasm - you're not very good at it. Just a suggestion, sweetie. :wave:

This is a prime example of what some people post when they really don't have anything to say, but are trying to keep up saving face due to making asses of themselves elsewhere.

No where in the post you chose to make fun of was it asserted that "this is exactly how it happened, here's my proof".

But keep slingin' them strawmen, it makes you look retarded and we get to keep laughing at you :funny:

Bible Thumper,
You claim all these things about God. Do you really think we believe that you could in any way be chosen by him?

Have you been saved? Is Jesus Christ your saviour? I mean really, it sounds as if you have nothing better to do!

Yes, and neither do you. We speculate, you speculate. Your speculation is based on something supernatural called God bringing the universe into existence, but where is God now? Where was God then? We don't offer spirit action as an explanation and are open on the whole question.

Your "FHOOM" is more pathetic than ours since it relies on something for which no direct evidence exists.
You also make the mistake, in your infinitely guided wisdom, of supposing that because we offer an explanation, that we are in control of the universe.
"Disarray of an argument". How pathetic.
