Is it a coincidence that flesh-eating bacteria exists, or is it gods work?
Is it a coincidence that the primary cause of death is heart disease, or is that gods work?
Is it a coincidence that god hates fags, yet appears powerless to stop them?
Is it a coincidence that god puts the death penalty on 613 things, but christians only know 11 of them? (10 commandments +that verse about fags in leviticus)
Is it a coincidence that god hates disobedient children, shellfish, eating meat and dairy in the same meal, or cutting your sideburns? (death penalty for each of these)

In the known universe Earth is the only place where total eclipses occur because of this
For what it's worth... we have only investigated roughly 0.00000000000000000000001% of the universe... we have no clue how common or uncommon this is Also... god does not exist... so no, its definitely not "because god" Just stop already... fucking stop trying to blame god for everything in the universe... THERE IS NO GOD |

Lol... take a look at the poll number above. 49 are non-religious, 22 are Christian, 19 are Muslims and 4 are Jewish. That means that the non-religious outnumber the combined strength of the business-minded and organized religions here in Bitcointalk (49 vs 45). The younger generation is becoming more intelligent, and moving away from religion.
I would even count the Buddhists as non-religious... They don't really push their beliefs on people, make religious laws, kill gays, etc... I can't recall a Buddhist ever shooting up a night club, abortion clinic, or movie theatre |

I assume you are talking about Sharia? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ShariaIf part of the law includes murdering apostates, atheists, and anyone who disagrees with you... then yeah, that's a violation of the first amendment in america |

I don't understand the point of saying we...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_weThe royal "we", or majestic plural (pluralis majestatis in Latin, literally, "the plural of majesty"), is the use of a plural pronoun to refer to a single person holding a high office, such as a sovereign (e.g., a monarch or sultan) or religious leader (e.g., the Pope or a bishop). The more general word for the use of we to refer to oneself is nosism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosism1 The royal "we" or pluralis majestatis
2 The editorial "we"
3 The author's "we" or pluralis modestiae
4 The patronizing "we"
5 The non-confrontative "we" |

It's a shame that god didn't protect this Noah's ark replica from being mangled...  |

Once again, the problem with drugs is not the supply, its the demand...
People demand drugs... people will always demand drugs
You can cut off the supply 100 times, and someone new will always show up to supply the demand for drugs... because there is a huge demand... people will give them lots of money to supply drugs... that's how it works
If you want to keep the money out of the hands of drug dealers, gangs, etc... you have to legalize drugs... it's the only way
You legalize, regulate, and tax drugs... just like pharmaceuticals... Let the doctors sell the drugs instead of the criminals

The problem with drugs is...
Nobody sells drugs... drugs sell themselves
You cannot stop drugs by killing the dealers... there will always be a new person to take their place... always
The only way to stop drugs is to stop people from wanting drugs... that's the only way

The only people who see a white light, etc, are religious... if you are not religious, you see aliens, or some other weird shit Your claim is based on people's testimony, and it is factually wrong, but you will not admit it, so you instead resort to calling me names; you are nothing but a hypocrite; at least if you could admit that you were mistaken THIS ONE TIME, it would lead to a more fruitful discussion in the future... My claim is based on scientific experimentation involving an electromagnet placed against the brain I have been over this with you months ago, and even linked the video to you! Quit pretending like we haven't already had this fucking argument Your claim was refuted by way of counterexample. I even linked you to two counterexamples and there are many, many more! Watch the video again https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCVzz96zKA0You cannot refute scientific experimentation with testimony... science doesn' work like that Sorry, you are wrong |

u mad bro?
Yeah bro, I am mad that you fail to admit the truth, no matter what. I am mad at hypocrites like u, brah Usually when people get this defensive it is because they know deep down that they are full of shit You make wild claims but have zero scientific evidence to back any of it up... there is no such scientific evidence for NDE's being anything like what you claim... you have provided no such evidence... all your links are purely anecdotal gibberish... with zero science involved Testimony is not science fucktard People tell stories about seeing white lights, aliens, ghosts, bigfoot, demons, gods, etc, etc, etc... it doesn't make any of it real |

google the opposition and see what they say
I am not impressed, Moloch. I have already read RationalWiki, skepdic, JREF forums, Sam Harris forums, and many scholarly papers from skeptics, I also participate in multiple forum discussions with peers. Why should I keep reading the opposition when YOU are unable to even comprehend the content of one single link that I reference? Your claims are in error; YOU SHOULD DO MORE READING BECAUSE NOT ONLY HAVE YOU FAILED TO PROVIDE A SCIENTIFIC EXPLANATION, YOU DO NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT THE CORE ELEMENTS OF THE NDE ARE! "All neurological theories concluding NDEs to be only a brain anomaly, must show how the core elements of the NDE occur subjectively because of specific neurological events triggered by the approach of death." Read: A Critique of Susan Blackmore's Dying Brain Hypothesis by Greg Stone http://www.near-death.com/science/articles/dying-brain-theory.htmlu mad bro? You sound mad... |

So why would we think that we know anything about atheism or other religion except that somebody who DOES know tells us?
There have been so many false prophets, claims of divinity, and books written throughout the centuries... how do you know that yours is the correct one? What if the ancient Sumerians had the correct god(s)? How do you know the Hindus are wrong? I hear-tell the Muslims also have a holy book, and a divine messenger... how do you know they are wrong? |

Where is Moloch's argument??
I already explained this to you 6 months ago... Science is based upon experimentation, not testimony Scientific experimentation has shown that NDE can be caused by a magnet... it not not spiritual, it has nothing to do with god... it has a perfectly normal scientific explanation like everything else The only people who see a white light, etc, are religious... if you are not religious, you see aliens, or some other weird shit Alien abduction stories are the exact same thing as NDE... it is caused by the same lack of oxygen in your brain It is not real, quit believing all the crazy shit you read on the internet... check your facts... google the opposition and see what they say... don't get all your info from a single biased source (who is probably trying to sell you something) |

If you refuse to look at the evidence of both sides of an argument, you will continually be ignorant and biased Actually, you may be surprised to learn that I am an avid reader of RationalWiki. Evidence that I have posted refutes the claims on RationalWiki. For example, according to RW, the survival hypothesis "ignores scientific evidence that indicates consciousness is dependent on the brain", but RW likewise ignores case studies which indicate that consciousness is independent of the brain. Not only this, but RW ignores the evidence from quantum biology as presented by Hammeroff which indicates that feelings came before the brain. Moloch, virtually all of the claims made in your link are either inconsistent with other evidence or based in unproven assumptions. The links I posted here provide a more adequate understanding of the mechanism behind NDEs. If you want to discuss this with me, simply take a claim from that link (or any other source) and post it here for our discussion. That is simply your biased opinion... The facts are that your "scientific studies" are not scientifically conducted... they do not conduct proper experiments, and their "conclusions" are not legitimate... pseudoscience is not science... there is a huge fucking difference I have looked at studies you posted in the past and they are all bullshit... there is not a shred of scientific credulity among them... its completely anecdotal with no substance, like religion |
