The losers won. I wish them to be happy in their small, foggy and rainy island. Every nice British guy I've ever met made the only good decision available: to leave Britain. I guess that soon, there will be only faggots and drunkards in the UK. Or has it happened, already?
They gonna bleed in a huge brain out... Half of the British people I work with in scientific fields announced to my company they want official letters of support to ask for French or German nationalities xD So do the students... ... the ones with the high IQs and low morals. Can't wait. Get 'em outa here.

More than 1,200 people have died of starvation and illness at an aid camp in north-east Nigeria that houses people fleeing the Islamist militant group Boko Haram, according to the medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières. MSF said on Thursday that its team found 24,000 people, including 15,000 children, sheltering in the camp located on a hospital compound during a visit to Bama last month – its first trip there since the city was wrested from Boko Haram’s control in March 2015. Bama was part of an area held by Boko Haram for more than six months before the group was pushed out by the army. Boko Haram massacre women in north-east Nigerian village Read more MSF said a “catastrophic humanitarian emergency” was unfolding at the camp. It said around a fifth of the 800 children who underwent medical screening were acutely malnourished and almost 500 children had died.

No international report or any thing that may notice them. Well, I think that's how things really goes So, you do something about it.

Im in shock. I hope its true and we do live on after death, but for more then the few minutes that was claimed in the news article. Its cool to know that science is working its magic to figure this out because truthfully, im scared of dying.
You did not control your birth, you may control your death. Why a need to be scared? Pain, that's something else of course. Do you remember when you were 3 years old? How about 2? 1? 1 month? I'll bet that if you remember anything from 1 month old, that you don't remember all of it clearly. So, what makes you think that you didn't formally accept your conception, and simply don't remember that you did this?

Hey. You're on welfare. Eat and LIKE it.

Haha..xD science cannot proof the existence of god But if there were simple proof... simple proof that stood out in the open like 1+1=2... nobody could make you accept it. So, what's the difference. The scientific proof for the existence of God is available. That doesn't make you accept the proof. Only God will make you accept the proof, when He raises you from the dead in the resurrection.

This is no big deal. Why not? The people are still stuck in Britain.

Well for me the best religion is christian catholic. It is the best religion for me just simple because I believe to what their bible says and it is not just something that is made by some people. I think the bible really are words of God and well some religions based their bible to the christian catholic religion.
I surely hope you don't believe ALL of what Bible says. If you do you are an inch from becoming a killer. You are wrong. The directives for people are to NOT be murderers. The directives for ancient Israel are for them. Past directives are not for today except if they say they are. Either you have not read with understanding, or else you are simply trying to make God look bad. God is One God. There are 3 distinct Persons in that One God. Difficult to understand. Like one corporation with many directors. The stuff at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1367154.0 is not necessarily for us. Some of it is directives for ancient Israel so that the wickedness could be limited or stopped. Some of it is figurative and some literal. Some of it absolutely is marching orders for us. All of it is good if used according to the context in which it is found. af_newbie is simply trying to promote opposition to God and the things that are good.

The war on drugs is a great success. It was designed to make war on Americans. Even non-drug users are afraid, because any moment SWAT might come crashing in on false or accidental information. Close to Nazi Germany because of the war on drugs, and that is what the government leaders want... Nazi Germany in America... and they almost have it.

Over the years, after debating with theists on this and other forums and in person, I came to the conclusion that the religious people are not all the same. Depending on their intelligence, they fall into one of the following categories:
50-85 IQ - severely retarded to slightly retarded people unable to distinguish what is real and what is not Generally, these people do not understand the content of religious texts but they tend to remember and cling on some passages that had been presented and explained to them by others. This group is a breeding ground for extremists and terrorists.
86-110 IQ - below average to average intelligence, most likely college or university educated folks, these people understand that most of the religious texts cannot be interpreted literally as these are historical texts and should be interpreted in the context in which they were written. They tend to compartmentalize their religious beliefs and their understanding of science and the world around them. These people would most likely never hurt others in the name of the religion, but generally applaud and cheer when others kill in the name of their religion. There are some atheists in this group but not too many.
111-135 IQ - above average intelligence. Highly educated people, some holding advanced degrees, they are masters of compartmentalization. Less religious than the other groups, but still believe in God the creator. Pascal wagers are in this group. This is a breeding ground for atheists as they analyze the religious texts, find inconsistencies, argue with other religious people (often with limited success as the mental gaps are just too great). You might find some hard core religious nuts in this group, but very few since it is very hard for these people to reconcile religion with the reality around them. But they try despite the odds.
136+ IQ- these people are mostly atheists, most of them don't even think about God as it is not something even worth thinking about. The question of religion is as clear as 2+2 or A8+F. They know there is no God, that God concept was invented by people to help them understand the complex world. They see organized religions as political and/or business entities.
So which group do you belong to?
The easiest way for a person with an average intelligence to become an atheist is to actually read the Bible, Quran and Talmud. I can guarantee you, some of you will become atheists after reading the Bible alone, you won't have to read Quran. But I highly recommend you read all three.
Mostly false, because first, I had IQ tests when I was a child to let me pass a class or not, and guess what, I had 136+. Then, I was not raised all my life in religion. No one ever told me about that, ever ! I made all my conclusions alone. If you read the Bible, even beside the existance of God or not, all the commandements and such are so obvious that everyone should follow them naturally. Also, if you're giving numbers about the US, this place is full of retards... +1

I use a quote from Biomech to shed some light on the subject. I thought it helpful for clarification. (I used some of my own highlights in his text though, so to see the original go to his post please.) ...your conception of atheism is basically what theists say about us [atheists], not the actuality in most cases. But I need to clarify that a bit, because there is a subset of atheists who state it as a positive belief. Religious types have dubbed this "strong" atheism, vs what it seems most of us hold to, which they dub "weak" atheism.
In my arrogant opinion, "weak" atheism is by far the stronger position. Not because it's a positive belief, but because it is not. Our stance is not that we believe there is no god(s), but that we do not believe that there is based on the available evidence. "strong" atheism, to me, is just as much a religious stance as Christianity or Islam would be.
Weak atheism does not deny the possibility of deities, it just doesn't accept ordinary proofs for extraordinary claims.
That's all pretty general. Personally, I've no problem with the idea of a god or gods, but I see no convincing evidence. Religion, on the other hand, I take a strong and oppositional stand to. It makes broad, unprovable claims, and demands that those who adhere to it AND THOSE WHO DON'T accept it. Even, often especially, when those claims are contradicted by fact. And they're willing to kill over it.
I'll kill in defense of my person, my family, possibly even my nation were it actually invaded. I'll never even consider killing because a man believes something differently than I would. Depending on what that belief is, I might think him a fool. I might even say it, especially if he's not a fool generally. I'll talk about it, but I won't kill for it.
I can also state as fact that ALL current theistic religions are false. I base this on their own claims. Not all of them, some of their claims are either good morals or at least a bit of wisdom that is applicable regardless of derivation. But particularly, these two. That there is a god who wishes to be worshipped, and that he/she/it is the god of their religion.
Were these two things true, and based on their further claim that their sky daddy is all powerful, then there would be NO POSSIBILITY of plural, contradicting religions.
This is silly. You can't breathe in a vacuum. When you say that you simply lack having belief at all, you are saying that you live in a vacuum. If you lived out in the mountain woods, completely away from other people so that you never heard of God, you would still get the feeling of God from the things you saw in nature. But you don't live this way. You live among other people, the majority of whom are theists to some extent at least. And the idea of God has been pushed into your head at least a little. You are forced to make a choice in faith by this. Either you believe God exists, or you believe He doesn't. You might like the idea of living in a vacuum. You might wish that you could have lived your life in a vacuum. You might like the vacuum idea so much that you are trying with all your might to break free from the knowledge that you have so that you can live in the vacuum you wish for yourself. But you can't. It's too late. The knowledge of the idea of God is already in you, and outside of a complete lobotomy, you can't remove it. You have only one of 2 choices in this area. Either you believe that God exists, or you believe that God doesn't exist. The idea of a third choice, to not even have enough knowledge so that you don't believe one way or the other, is not available to you. And the more you talk about it, the less you lose any vacuum that might be left, and the more you are set in your belief one way or the other.

In my opinion, the even more important question would be: Do you trust the average american to make decision for the n°1 military power in the world ?
I would trust very few population for a direct democracy.
Yes but, look at Brexit. The vote split was 17410742 to 16141241. This means that a whopping 16 million+ people will have to obey the wishes of a slightly larger majority, less than 17.5 million. Who is right? So, do you trust the handful in the U.S. government to be able to make right decisions for 330 million? Create wars for us all over the world just so that the handful have an excuse to kill off our young men and women in the military, all the while making $billions for themselves while the rest of us live in near poverty. With communications and transportation the way they are, don't need democracy OR the thing that we have presently. Get rid of government except to maintain order in the courts. Let the people be free except when they harm other people, and let the jury decide who is the guilty party based on the facts. Dump the rest of the stupid government that is raping and plundering us.

Christians burned those people. They did it because of your sick ideology as spelled out in the BIBLE. Don't tell me you follow the New Testament, your Jesus (aka God) inspired (as the story goes) 40+ people to write these manuals (both OLD and NEW) for other psychopaths.
You can pray all you want, unless Jesus posts on this forum and signs his message with my private bitcoin keys, or shows up in person in my house, I am not going to change my mind.
Even if he shows up, the first thing I would ask him: Where the fuck where you you motherfucker when people were killing each other in all the wars, where were you when children were dying from disease, cancer you created....I have a long list, so watch out Jesus...
What am I saying? the dude is DEAD, if he ever existed.
My personal take on this whole Christian story is that Romans invented this myth to keep the poor, non-Roman population in check.
So go ahead pray until you piss in your pants...Hey Jesus, if you have any balls, post here, let's go motherfucker.
xhomerx10, guess what? Jesus will not post here, and he will not show up in person, because he your IMAGINARY friend. Get this through your thick skull.
There, there my child. Relax and be still. "Be still and know that I am God."
"Take my yoke upon you and learn of me. For my yoke is easy and by burden is light."
"It's hard for you to kick against the goads."It will be over soon. Just a little while longer. You are drying up from the drug of this world. The pain seems unbearable. But just a little longer and it will all be over. You can't resist the Holy Spirit working in your heart any longer. God loves you and gave Himself for you in the form of His Son, on the cross. He loves you so very much...

All problems are human problems, even the religion ones. This is exactly why God came as man, in the form of Jesus, His Son. He was the only man strong enough to take care of the problems that mankind made for themselves. Join Him as your king and ruler along with us, so that you can receive of His great ability to correct your problems. Why be against Him so that you lose everything, even your own self?

...
Here is my interpretation:
God had a wife, but she was old, so he found a sweet 16 year old Mary to fuck on the side. Mary conceived Jesus. (That is why Christians to this day say God the father and the son are one) Anyway, God's wife came over to talk to Mary, but before should could say a word, Mary's pet the Green Lion attacked her and ate her. He left the head for Mary as it was customary to stand on just decapitated head, you know, for good luck and prosperity.
Notice that there is makeup on the giant head, so it must be a woman, or a cross-dresser. Hmm, that could be another story for another time folks.
I am noticing your mind is incapable of abstaction. Perhaps that's why you can't see that god is everywhere. I will pray for you. You want to pray for me? Don't bother. You want to pray, pray for people you guys burned alive: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_burned_as_hereticsYou want to pray, pray for Giordano Bruno, you little prick. Religion is the most evil concept ever invented. PS. Buy an 'r'. Run a spell checker. He wants to pray for me? LOL What a dick!!! Thanks, xhomerx10. Our prayers for af_newbie are having their effect. You can tell by the bitterness in his post. The Holy Spirit just might reach him, yet. Perhaps we shall enjoy his presence with us in joy and glory, forever, after all.

Clinton Foundation Hack: Amazing RevelationsClinton Foundation Hack: Amazing Revelations
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EDQ73zjHcw======================================== Hillary Clinton Wants to Cut Off Internet Access to Fight Terrorism !While Trump's comments have received scrutiny, Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton's similar plan has not received the same amount of media attention.
In a recent talk at the Brookings Institution, Clinton said, "We're going to have to have more support from our friends in the technology world to deny online space. Just as we have to destroy their would-be caliphate, we have to deny them online space and this is complicated."
Like Trump, Clinton also shrugged off freedom of speech objections.
"You're going to hear all of the usual complaints, you know, freedom of speech, etc. But if we truly are in a war against terrorism, and we are truly looking for ways to shut off their funding, shut off the flow of foreign fighters, then we've got to shut off their means of communicating."

Don't get me wrong, af_newbie. I am not trying to humiliate you in the least. I am trying to get you to wake up to the fact that God exists, before it is too late for you. Humiliate me? You are insane. Anyway I really don't have patience to help you with your reading comprehension. Try Scholastic books first. Again, God is in your head and in your head only. Trust me. There is no evidence of him existing anywhere else. I gotta hand it to you. You have stubbornly strong faith in your religion. Try mixing a little reality with your religion some time, just to see where your religion is wrong.
