Gotta love BNL....Not so sure about the show though...........

There is a horrible anti-christian television show on CBS that is known as “The Big Bang Theory”. Just like the supposed scientific theory that it is loosely based on, the show is viomently anti-christian and I strongly urge all Christians to boycott it.

Hahaha   Best laugh of the month.

Thanks Smooth

There is actually a lot of truths in propaganda like that. They put enough in there to make it look valid then twist things around with innuendo and references from bible lore and then present a totally invalid conclusion, which  in that case is partly "the sure testimony of the Word of God to the true history of the world". Last time I went to the library I am pretty sure the bible wasn't on the shelf amongst the history books.

Myfist0....I think you are sadly mistaken.....

That could easily be the best laugh of the century....but alas....if that wacko site maintains its holier-than-thou standards there is likely to be even bigger laughs.....

The scary thought is that its actually a scary thought....that nutters as derranged/deluded as them are allowed breath.

Free country for free-range loonies.

Then they get into your political system and America is dead and buried even BEFORE China replaces it as the most economically important/influential country on the planet.

UR welcome....did you look at some of the other stuff there?....Not as good as "The Onion" but there are a few hidden gems.

Smooth....every time I see embedded links in bodies of text I think 'spam'....and my trigger finger gets twitchy....

Ha HA ha Really?

I love the Big Bang Theory (the TV show).  When one is confident in his beliefs, he can enjoy all forms of entertainment, and not be offended.

Those crazy sites are worthless, btw.  I don't even know of most of them. 

Edit: well, they are good for a good laugh   Reminds me of the Onion for religion

I think the Big Bang's relentless assault on skeptics by portraying them as socially dysfunctional nerds incapable of coping effectively with human feelings is a plot against atheists and their ilk.  Of course, as a degenerate believer who can't think for himself and is a danger to others, I fully support that.

For the record, both my wife and daughter-in-law refer to me as "Sheldon".

I am an atheist but I don't mind people with a religion who don't use that to belittle or manipulate others (note I am not referring to your statement in your last post Sinperium ).  But the wonders of the World and the Universe(s) is something that will never be fully known, and I think it's good to keep that sense of wonder while still keeping an open mind and be able to be practical and evidence based.  Like I said in the Quantum teleportation thread, the ability to shift between "what if" and concrete ways of thinking is very useful.

Yep--keeping an open mind.

Here's a perspective (Warning: I'm about to paste a scripture verse--it's to serve a point and not meant to proselytize or convert--so chill with the reactionary stuff there please, anyone).

Written around the 8 B.C. and recorded in book of Isaiah...

I can't count how many times I have heard people say, "I don't want anything to do with a heaven where all we do is sit around playing harps and singing about God." I can relate to that--doesn't sound that much fun--especially since the premise is that it will be for "eternity".

But I heard an interesting take years back when someone suggested  that it might not be a bunch of seraphim dutifully reciting a chorus as a hymn in heavenly church.

Instead, this person suggested that it was as the seraphim continually studied God from the vantage they had been given, they constantly were seeing and understanding new things regarding Him and His nature and they were so mind blown at what they saw that they were exclaiming, "Holy!" just as you or I might say "Oh My God!" when confronted by something like a...hmm..double rainbow.

When you talk about concepts of "God" you can limit your view to religion or some anthropomorphized intellectual/philosophical construct or you can look at it from the perspective of, "If such a being exists, what must it be like?".  If anything exists that mirrors the scope of biblical expectations of God, it must be pretty much beyond our ken.

It's essential if you reject the concept of a knowable God in contact with mankind that you fully reject it--or you are left at a point where you have to consider your entire worldview is flawed and not complete.  I think this is why atheists are so adamant on the point.

On the other hand, if such a being does exist, I'd want to know so I keep an open mind.  I also don't want a religious counterfeit or lie either.

If you always go back to, "Inconceivable!" then that isn't proof of anything other than, "I have chosen to believe X is true and refuse to think otherwise".  If someone could show me, I'd want to know and I'm not personally threatened by people trying.  It's not offensive--even when I disagree with them...and I'd change my mind tomorrow if they showed me something I didn't know that merited it--either way.

OMT - ATHEISTS DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD ... BECAUSE HE HAS NEVER BEEN SHOWN TO EXIST IN THE REAL WORLD.

Now with that being said ... what point are we being adamant on??? I reference the highlighted portion. Is there anything in my definition that implies an interest in god or the religions that support him? I am here defending my secular views (and slam the RCC) ... but am forced to deal with these voiceless and uninvolved invisible useless spirits and most assuredly the unheard communication command structure giving the few … dominion over the many.

And I can tell you that what you think about others is very wrong. Find the symbols in the scripture.

"Seraphim" The name, a Hebrew masculine plural form, designates a special class of heavenly attendants of Yahweh's court.

"Heaven"  a sacred place or a state of being

What exactly do you think "Heaven on Earth" is?

To me as an atheist it means that the earth should be treated as "sacred" (worthy of respect) and that "heaven" is a sacred state of mind or existence.

I simply don't need to think that God or heaven or angels are something more than symbols to understand these things. When I was very young and only thinking of these things in material terms (because that was how it was taught), it actually hindered me from understanding such things.Too many people take too many things in scripture literally because they do not understand that myth uses material things (as symbols) to describe immaterial things.

Look at for example the Ganges River. It is "sacred" because it provides drinking and irrigation water for those in the society where that religious belief has its roots. Yet it is polluted as "hell" today because some people don't understand why it is "sacred" and/or what that actually means.

Much of religion is broken in society today because some people can't distinguish between what should be taken literally and what shouldn't and how it should be translated and applied. Not to mention "popular" religion which appears to me much the same as political pandering, the only difference being they are pandering for money as opposed to votes.

@Boobz

It was a general statement--not directed at "you" (there's that confusion again).  You're not telling me anything.  You're saying a lot but it isn't really of any use.  Put up another prominent atheist video--then maybe I'll understand.  I'm slow ya know.

@Smoothseas

Did you read the disclaimer--I'm using it to make the point how much a change of thinking we would need to really try to wrap our heads around the concept of an actual "God".  You respond with an exegesis, biblical text commentary and word definitions.

You missed the point.

The point is that many people don't even know what they are reading so you won't figure it out because you put in within the realm of some fairyland instead of the immaterial thing that it is.

You were the one who presented the biblical text. I simply pointed out that what it represents cannot be found if you paint the picture in material terms as you did,  as opposed to understanding the immaterial meaning it is trying to convey. A question of whether "God is ones consciousness" or not is really where the thin line between theism and atheism lies and not within some fairytale including heaven and angels.
