Why can't people accept that everything could be connected?

I think it's funny how people are simply willing to accept things at face value without even contemplating a depth to the concept. There is more than meets they eye.

So the mathematical calculations of Judaic history transposed into pyramid inches when used to measure the Great Pyramid check out upon one another. Interesting correlation to two "unrelated" things being related.

Nope, everything is us vs. them, black and white, all or nothing.

politicts, religion, pink floyd, everything

[ColdAccord]

i don't care what people believe they just need to stop pushing it upon others.

You spelled "correlation" incorrectly.

Oops, I may have forgot to use spell check, thanks for your valued input.

I'm open to anything if someone can provide valid logic.

Religion lacks valid logic. I'm open to explanations, though. But sorry, "the bible makes sense to those who are meant to understand it" doesn't work for me. I touched on this in the other thread - there are pressing questions that need answers.

Everything that I've had the opportunity to interpret suggests that god is evolving. Why? Because god is a creation of man. As we evolve and change we adjust our idea of god. Created in his image? Must be true.

Religion, Egyptology, Astrology, Science, Bible, Torah, Quaran, Pyramids, Ancient Civilizations, Evolutionary traits, Astronomy, Physics, all of it. Plus more not listed.



Why does everything have to conflict with people? The funny thing is the conflicts are almost always caused by a perverted twist or complete lack of knowledge of facts.

I'm with you, dude.

It could be possible...but it's also "possible" Obama is an alien.

[Farbin Kaiber]

It's also possible you are an alien.

Next your going to say you believe in Nostradamus's quatrains, even though they never predict the future. Why?

Because after the fact people torture the meaning of some INCREDIBLY vague bullshit to meet whatever event they choose.

I don't understand how this is "funny." Surely you must understand that people need evidence and aren't willing to accept theories at face value? The people that you're saying are ignorant are the ones that have looked into these subjects the most and found a lack of what appeals to them and makes sense in their mind: sound, logical evidence.

You asked a big question, so let's just pick one. How does Astrology make sense?

I'll put this out there... is Love, the kind you do anything for, real and can it be proven? Or is it a "creation" of man, therefore flawed and needing to evolve (as was postulated by Turf that God was a creation of man and therefore evolving with us) that can be proven or disproven? Not a lot of you have kids or a girl you care enough about to marry so, this may fall on deaf/ununderstanding ears. But really, can Love be proven or disproven? Is it all relative to every and each individual differently or is there a guideline/baseline we all accept?

I see a lot of cold, hard, provable, facts guys here. If at the very least, why does someone elses belief in something you don't believe in warrant "you're an idiot/illogical/etc" if you really don't care? Bigotry is still bigotry even if it's from a "logical" stand point.. hell, people say Religion is the problem but maybe it's that mentality "don't believe what I believe in and you're stupid" that "religion" seems to be blamed for having.

[Bill 84 318i]

Gah, off topic!

I'll put this out there... is Love, the kind you do anything for, real and can it be proven?

Well, obviously. Yes. It's everywhere.

Or is it a "creation" of man, therefore flawed and needing to evolve (as was postulated by Turf that God was a creation of man and therefore evolving with us) that can be proven or disproven? Not a lot of you have kids or a girl you care enough about to marry so, this may fall on deaf/ununderstanding ears.

This is disappointingly condescending. You're connecting two dots - saying that since I don't believe in God, and only believe in things I can touch, that I'm incapable of love and can't possibly appreciate my own children? Surely you don't honestly believe that.

To take the bait, love is a product of evolution, and there's probably a nerdy evolutionary reason for it. Species/individuals that were passionate survived and reproduced because it was a successful trait. It's not even human-specific. But because I think that doesn't mean that I'm not a hopeless romantic, and that I'm not with someone I would do anything in the world for. Love it completely irrational at times - I wish you wouldn't jump to the conclusion that people without faith in a god are robotic evil people who don't want children. If that were the case, you wouldn't have to put up with us!

And I don't get the "a creation of man, therefore flawed and needing to evolve." Nothing "needs" to evolve, it just does. And only creations of men are flawed? Lots of shit is flawed - are you implying that only things "created by god" aren't? The human body, as marvelous as it is, has tons of flaws.

But really, can Love be proven or disproven? Is it all relative to every and each individual differently or is there a guideline/baseline we all accept?

Again, I don't think there's a need to - it clearly exists. But isn't everything relative to each individual? I look at the world with my eyes and my brain, as do you. Perception is reality.

I see a lot of cold, hard, provable, facts guys here. If at the very least, why does someone elses belief in something you don't believe in warrant "you're an idiot/illogical/etc" if you really don't care? Bigotry is still bigotry even if it's from a "logical" stand point.. hell, people say Religion is the problem but maybe it's that mentality "don't believe what I believe in and you're stupid" that "religion" seems to be blamed for having.

Taking the bait again. I don't believe in a god. I can't prove that one doesn't exist, but I don't believe in one. To that extent, I admittedly find it a bit illogical that some people do, much in the same way that you look at me with disbelief because I don't. That's okay, and not necessarily bigotry. I won't not be friends with you - that would be closing off too much of the world and would be a shame.

The attitude that you reference - "we don't share beliefs so you're dumb" - is negative and offensive in some ways and positive and productive in others.

Why can't people accept that everything may not be connected?

because some people need factual data or something they can "see" to believe in something. people have lost something called faith.
