The best religion
-
Yes that is true but how else could religion has possibly come about? You can't expect those people in ancient times to actually have met those higher beings. Just because cavemen started the practise of worshipping deities doesn't mean that man invented the idea of gods. They were simply the first humans on earth and the ideas could've been bestowed upon them, who knows?Originally posted by Nikar2:(uncle butcher)
don't be offended, it's just my personal opinion and to each his own.
it may be controversial, but since the past few years, i've come to the realization that man created the idea of god since the caveman days since man has always wanted to seek comfort in praying to a "higher" being.
that idea slowly evolved throughout the ages, from atheism to pantheons of gods to a single almighty god.
and because humans are all the same, they share this belief that there is a more powerful being up there, but due to cultural differences and geographical locations, they evolved different but due to globalisation of the world, they spread around and get seeded in different countries.
all the scientists and anthropologists in this world would agree with me.
don't be offended, just my personal two cents and i'm not forcing this on anyone. -

nah, not possible.
if u think about it, all the biblical theories, for example, has been proven wrong by science.
like they say god created adam and eve, which is inaccurate : man evolved through the ages, not created in one shot.

You guys are turning a joke into a religion>

lol of course science proves it wrong that's because you are taking the bible too literally. Adam and Eve are supposed to be a representation and are more symbolic than literal. Btw, what other biblical theories does science prove wrong?Originally posted by Nikar2:(joshizzle)

On an interesting note, after Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit God cursed the snake to forever crawl on it's belly. It is now known that snakes had legs during the time of dinosaurs. -

unfortunately, if u tell that to churches, the priests will frown at you.Btw, what other biblical theories does science prove wrong?
lots! and not just biblical theories.
in fact, just take any myth or statement in the bible and look at it from a scientific point of view with no bias.
u'll find that it's going to be strange and totally unlogical.
i don't really know what's in the bible, but u can tell me any story in it and science will prove it crap.On an interesting note, after Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit God cursed the snake to forever crawl on it's belly. It is now known that snakes had legs during the time of dinosaurs.
that's evolution, dude.
snakes had legs during the prehistoric ages and slowly evolved to become legless. it just happens that people somehow managed to link this up with things in the bible.
notice that other religions like taoism didn't link this up because taoism doesn't have that snake story in it's annals.
it's human minds at work again: we imagine and link what we already know or are familiar with. -
I'm not disagreeing with evolution lol and neither does the bible. The problem with people is that when the bible says God did something, they expect God to come down as an old man in a white robe and do it with his hands but that's not God. When it says that God cursed the snake God did it with evolution.Originally posted by Nikar2:(jonshizzle)

actually evolution isn''t exactly proven beyond doubt. and there are still research going on about spontaneous creation or something like that

The thing is, there's many different interpretation of the bibble that can be obtained...literal or non-literal. We are constantly changing our interpretation of these religious text to fix it into our understanding of science.Originally posted by jondizzle foshizzle:I'm not disagreeing with evolution lol and neither does the bible.

at the end of the day, nobody can settle on which interpretation is true. -
are u trying to prove something?Originally posted by annoy-you-must:There is a difference between an insult and a joke.
All humor is lost when a group of people's dignity is lost when the joke is on them.
Like I've mention, you don't make 'jokes' about physically or mentally handicap people, neither do you make jokes about people's skin color, illnesses, race, language, much less their religious beliefs.
Never forget that such 'simple jokes' are the breeding ground for discrimination and sterotyping. -
mai knn act like u know alot.
-
It has alrdy been said that its a joke and wasnt meant as an insult to certain religions wad
-
I think the bigger joke is people here having theological arguments
-
yea. the joke is the arguments that the original 'joke' spawned.Originally posted by Demonight:I think the bigger joke is people here having theological arguments -
Prove what? Is what I've said wrong?Originally posted by hondapons:are u trying to prove something? -
'Meant to' is one thing. 'Has done it' is another.Originally posted by lpx88:It has alrdy been said that its a joke and wasnt meant as an insult to certain religions wad
'I don't mean to kill that guy' doesn't cover up the fact that 'I have indeed killed that guy'. -
Although i agree that using religious issues and make it as a joke is very tricky, given the mindset of certain individuals here. But thing is, you know yourself that it is meant to be taken as a joke, so why not just see it as a joke? It's posted in the jokes forum for goodness sake.It's not like he's writing a whole article going all out, slamming religious beliefs of the people here.Originally posted by annoy-you-must:'Meant to' is one thing. 'Has done it' is another.

What you have said is absolutely right.The problem is that someone here is telling a joke,the rest of us is laughing and you are in the wrong forum>Originally posted by annoy-you-must:Prove what? Is what I've said wrong? -
In conclusion, regardless of whether it is offensive to religious people, the joke just plain isn't funny. It's not a good joke so stop arguing lol.

lighten up people
this is a joke forum
no sense of humor -
Like I've said. We condemn people who laugh at others with disability, but we condone those who make jokes about other people's religion.
Double standard. -
if we came from evolution, wad happened to the rest of the monkeys? forgot to evolve?
-
