I have heard the argument that if there was a being that created the universe then who created the being? I submit that we know nothing of the reality that existed prior to the creation of our universe and the question may be totally non sequitur for that reality.

I don’t believe in the God that the bible teaches us, but is there not a possibility that something, some energy or intellect beyond are ability to even comprehend planted the seed of the Big Bang? I’m sure no one was around to witness it, but it seems logical to me that something happened and I know that no one knows what that something was.
I am a little confused with atheism. Do they mean that there is just no biblical God? Or are they taking the extra step in saying that there is absolutely no outside intervention with the creation of the universe; that it “just happened” to me that seems pretty open ended.

@JT (27):
Critique of Epicurius
On the contrary, I answer that of Epicurius’ four profound questions, only the first part of the first question requires an answer, because subsequent questions depend upon the answer to the fiest. Is God willing to prevent all evil? Now lesser goods ought to be subordinated to greater goods, and these to the greatest good. So that what seems evil to a lesser good may not be so to the greatest good. And one of the greatest goods is the glory of God as apprehended by angels and men. And much to the glory of God is the free will love and obedience of men and womwn. I say freely they must love him. For his glory’s sake, God will never force us. Would you rather be a robot or a man who can choose his end? And if we are really free, then all must be really free to do greater and lesser evils.
However, God will soon reward every unmerited suffering many, many fold, both in quality and in exceeding duration, as in eternity. So that, every undeserved suffering will be rewarded tens of thousands of times over, to the overwelming joy of all the true victims, and they will all cry out, “where is the evil; it has all been disolved in such exceedingly disproportionate good. Blessed are you O’ Lord for bringing this enormous good out of such tiny evils as we momentarily suffered to our enormous profit and joy.”

Man I really like this site but I wish the comments would go away.. Some are normal “hey great list” comments but others are pathetic fool’s who think they know everything when in fact they know nothing of what they speak.. Anywho great list but this site makes me understand why I hate People so much.. Yes some are good but if I could I would clean the land of the minor annoyance’s. People are the worst creation by god…

By the way Freud was a coke head! so there is a great thinker for you, If I wanted a crack head to think for me I just would have to interview a guy from Compton. Plus Freud’s theories have now been dismissed greatly in his field of psychology. COKE HEAD Freud, with a Oedipus Rex complex.

Has anyone mentioned Issac Newton? He was a devoted follower and believer as was Albert Einsten (Jewish), Gandhi (Buddhist), John Adams (Unitarian), Copernicus (Catholic), Galileo (Christian), Kepler (Christian), Dr. Martin Luther King (Christian), Dr. Benjamin Franklin raised Puritan (Christian) introduced the idea of daily prayer in the Constitutional Convention (1787), so I think many, many, many GREAT GREAT THINKERS, ARE and WERE CHRISTANS, JEWS, BUDDAHIST, ISLAMIC, HINDU and beleivers of faith and GOD.

Also lets list the man who had the most influence on our world today Jesus Christ. (A jew) and the most devoted believer that we have ever known. Are all these men childish? infantile? uneducated thinkers? I think you see my point.

Sir Issac Newton, maybe the greatest thinker of us all Was a CHRISTIAN. That is not noted. I guess that makes him infantile and childish in his hopes? Christians, Islam, Buddaist, ect, just say the non believers are poor in spirit, not unintelligent, and surely not lump you all together. There has been alot of evil on both sides. When a person with a faith is evil it cast a dark shadow on all faiths in the atheistic mind, but when a non believer is evil, it is solely his or her actions, not non believers in general. Believers should be viewed the same way. Infact a believer of faith is no more likely to be evil and a non believer. If you truly have faith, is it more likely you will not be evil than to be evil. Lastly is GOD’s presence more improbable than our own? Also why do non believers celebrate Christmas or Hanukah? sounds hypocritical to me.

@jptw (498):Hormones are the opium of the intellect. Many of the posters to this site are obviously very young and have blocked their minds by hormonal sex drive from allowing credance to any idea which would restrict their unbridaled sexual activity. Therefore, there is no God, so that the 6th and 9th commandments may be dismissed. Give them a few decades in which to mature, and they will sing a more reasonable tune sans their opium.

@archiealt (514):

I am not going to repeat myself. You knock it the fuck off, period.

“Listen Randall, I don’t follow you from post to post mate.”

BULLSHIT. I can go back and count up the threads where I’ve been contributing and you’ve suddenly appeared to do NOTHING but bash me. NOTHING. It has happened time and time again. And you’ve done it AGAIN here.

AND you don’t take the fucking hint. GET OFF MY FUCKING BACK. If you have something to TALK about in regards to a topic at hand, DO SO. Otherwise, SHUT UP and do NOT address me.

You keep *on me* about what I do here, NEVER fucking acknowledging that I am ALWAYS arguing ABOUT something. YOU, on the other hand, have never ONCE had anything to say ABOUT a topic at hand when addressing me–you simply keep needling me and goading me about my “behavior.” It’s a waste of EVERYONE’S fucking time.

NOBODY FUCKING CARES what your opinion is about me, asshole. NOBODY is listening to you—and LEAST OF ALL ME. I have told you TIME AND TIME AGAIN–you are not going to get rid of me here, or change me. You aren’t DOING or ACCOMPLISHING ANYTHING. SO FUCKING STOP IT.

“Now, Randall, you can’t honestly expect to have a go at the amount of people you do, chuck about all these insults, and then get annoyed when somebody has a go at you for doing it.”

YES, I can, when that is ALL you do, TIME AND TIME AGAIN. NO ONE on this site appointed you watchdog or defender of the poor downtrodden that I’m talking to, in ways YOU feel are inappropriate.

I can’t BELIEVE you don’t see the fucking weirdness of this. But no, apparently you have a serious problem here.

So I’m telling you for the LAST TIME. Leave me the fuck alone. Don’t talk to me, don’t address me, don’t refer to me. If you have something to say ABOUT a topic, and wish to say it to me, DO SO. But if all you have is this constant, unending, POINTLESS fucking nipping at my heels, DO NOT DO IT. I’ve had it, this is fucking harassment, and I won’t stand for it.
