you know, as an act of pure self-determination, i do kinda respect shifty... he has that dangerous aspect of determination against all the odds, a sorta hunger, that i wish i had for anything i cared for in my life. i mean, the guy is clinically underweight and has serious body problems pre-21, yet he's still slogging himself to the beach to do drills every week knowing that his chances are slim and he is the least ideal candidate for the job he wants. that's kinda admirable, in a way. though i kinda lose interest when the whole 'america, fuck yeah' politics and 'jesus, fuck yeah' religion is thrown in. if only he had that sort of ambition for a nice little secular job that didn't involve killing women and children.

So this just popped up in my news feed,
How do I reply to this. I just sort of looked blankly at the screen for a while and closed the image, but I feel that I HAVE to say something to her..TAKE TIME TO READ. It's worth reading it. Trust me
Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?
Student : Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent.)
Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Is satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor: Where does satan come from ?
Student : From … GOD …
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor: So who created evil ?
(Student did not answer.)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them ?
(Student had no answer.)
Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class was in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter. )
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.
P.S.
I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?
Forward this to increase their knowledge … or FAITH.
By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.
Is scoring some internet atheist points worth alienating someone that at the very least can stand you enough to friend you?
so deep
Tu Stultus Es
It has nothing to do with athiest points - im not even an athiest. But none of it made ANY sense, and just feel like I should point that out in the most friendly way possible. Not in a condescending way.Macbeth wrote:

Yeah, this isn't going to work out the way you think it will.Adams_BJ wrote:

Eh, I don't see the point anyway. Once you get to quoting chain mail religious stories there is no hope going back.
In any case, if you want to lose a friend, you can point out that this never happened.
Oh and here deals with the logical sides of this chain e-mail.
That page literally makes me cringe.
It will, she's not like shifty or warman level retarded, she just believes in god, and I think she was just putting it out there. I have no problem with it, like I've told her many times. I already know she won't take offence if I let her know that none of it is true.Macbeth wrote:

I was going to ask why you care, but after MacB's post I reckon just link her up with that.Adams_BJ wrote:

And maybe add the comment "that story you posted isn't a lie, it's just the ABSENCE of truth..."
you want to try and counter a devout person's faith with a logical argument? the logical proofs of god's ontological existence and their counter-proofs and criticisms have been around since medieval theology. the whole thing is a pointless exercise. just scroll past the dumb and carry on your day.

like I said, she's not shifty or warman level retarded. She does have a brain. Anyway I told her, and she promptly deleted the image. She said she thought it made some good points for a chain message. She stopped thinking that pretty quick though.Uzique wrote:
