Such apathy! It seems endemic amongst the fundamentalists!
No interest in god?
Originally posted by Great King RatWhen I was in the military, I was given a Top Secret security clearance with special access to certain compartmented information. I was not given access to all Top Secret information, because I did not have a "need to know" about all of it to perform my job.
As far as I'm aware cancer treatments, the dangers of virusses and bacteria and how to build a house (or at least somekind of shelter) are amongst the many things not mentioned in the bible.
These are all things we don't need to know? Should we find out about them along the way, fine, but there's no need to know.
Whereas knowing the relationship between Enoch and Lamech, is vital.
Is that it?

'god doesnt exist' is a true statement, so he's on solid ground, but if i catch him saying 'santa doesnt exist' during december ill be taking his fudgy ar se down.....as its 'i think santa doesnt exist' for a four week period only.
Originally posted by googlefudgeThe Bible has that information also?? Is there no limit to the usefulness of The Big Book? I must get myself a copy.
Don't forget all those important rules for knowing how to keep your slaves...
Those are really vital.
Originally posted by RJHindsIn the military, 'secret' clearances are not that hard to come by. My dad had a higher clearance than most (dunno if it was 'Top Secret', but it was something serious he never talked about) when he was in the military; we had a couple of serious-looking, uniformed guys show up one day to talk to my dad and to look around. I would guess it depends on what you do, and how long you've been doing it, but they do assume that most people in the military care about their country and won't blab if they're told not to blab certain info.

Originally posted by googlefudgeYeah, I think we do, but this is a condition of the times we live in.
So do you think we don't have a need to get better at treating disease and making life
on earth better, longer, and healthier?
Originally posted by googlefudgeWhen you start those discussions, you end up running away from logic, saying things like 'reasonable doubt', so no, it just ends up sounding wishy-washy.
Proven beyond a reasonable doubt is what I am saying, just for clarity.
And I am more than willing to discuss how it can be proven, but you run
away from that kind of debate.
Originally posted by googlefudgeSimple. My justification is that 'God exists'. So, yes, it is not possible you have a proof that 'God does not exist'.
Wa, hey up there...
She doesn't need to prove I don't have proof, it's up to me to prove that I do
as it's me making the claim.
No here problem is that she's claiming that it's not possible that I have proof.
That claim requires justification.
Originally posted by Great King RatWell, no, that's not it.

Originally posted by SuzianneYes in fairy tales people lived much longer lives in the past.
Yeah, I think we do, but this is a condition of the times we live in.
But also, I don't think one should be looking towards the Bible for that information, even despite the fact that man lived much, much longer early in the Book of Genesis. Do you?
Originally posted by SuzianneSo you are convinced that god exists and thus their cannot be evidence that god doesn't exist...
Simple. My justification is that 'God exists'. So, yes, it is not possible you have a proof that 'God does not exist'.
