I was just wondering how many of you believe in God
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
Believing in God

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

Im pure atheist.....There is no god. Everything in the universe happens within the laws of science....yet we dont fully understand those laws yet.
God is as real as elfs pixies and flying dragons that breath fire.
There is no heaven or hell.....When we die are body shuts down and our mind and consciece ceases to operate again.....not that we would notice because we are dead.
I laugh in the face of all relgious people. I can respect their beliefs aslong as they dont impose thier religious belifs and ideals on me (Which every relgious person does).

Interesting, I have observed that most people are atheists because of fear. At what point at your life you became an atheist?Tomatoes said:
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
I beleive in god.
I forget which mathematician and famous scientist once said, the chances of the world coming to be the way it is, and everything evolving, creating an environment and the life on the planet the way it is today, is about the same chances as you going into your garage, throwing everything around, and it becoming a car! In other words, just about impossible.
A big research event conducted at Harvard (I think it was), also went to reveal that these "experts" that can apparently talk to the dead, all experience similar phenominal brainwaves, of which are nearly mathematically impossible. Leading the professors there (who were very sceptical of these "experts"), to beleive they did have some incredible ability.
Sorry I could not be more specific on both these studies, but I remember reading about them somewhere along the line.
Just a few things to think about.
There are also so many other things that are not "scientifically possible" of which occur regularly. I saw a documentary on one man, who was medically dead for 15 minutes after being stung by 3-5 box Jellyfish, something sure to kill you. He then woke up and walked again after being covered over and dead for a quarter of an hour. The natives on the island (I think the Island was called Maricius (or something like that, in the South Pacific), tried to kill him, thinking he was somehow cursed. He was declared dead in a hopsital by qualified doctors on the Island.
There are just some of the incredible things I have seen and read about, of which are further documented, that "scientifically" lead me to beleive there is something supernatural and extraordinary out there. I further beleive all the gods are the same, and all teach of the same simple philosophies, to be a good person.
Thats my 2 cents.

You will find it is relgious people are the ones that suffer from "fear".
A fear of them ACTUALLY being in control of their own actions.
A fear that when you die......you DO die....and dont get wisped off to some magical place where you live in harmony forever.
A fear of the unknown. Rather than finding a logic solution its alot easier to say it was "Gods will".
An Atheist is just a realist.
I much prefer to put my "faith" in science and things that can be proven rather than something that cant be proved to even exsist let alone have any effect on any action taken
2+2 = 4.....It always will. Thats the logic i like to follow.
I have been a pure athiest since i was about 14-16 and started to follow my indervidual thinking. I never really belived in god.
Notice i say "pure athiest". Some athiests belive in "something". I have no relgious belifs whatsoever.
In regards to your remarks CLOONEY. I will except that there is "unexplained" activites that happen around the world that we dont understand.......yet......You also have to take into account that things that were seen as acts of god 1000 years ago today can be explained by science. (Eg. Shooting stars are just fragments hitting the lower atmostsphere at a certain angle that they give off a bright light. They can be the size of a grain of rice.) I agree.....these happenings of today are strange and we cant always understand them at the moment but they will be explained in time to come.....could be a million years. Could be tomorrow. EVERYTHING has a scientific explanation.....Unless we have to adapt our laws of physics
The world would be a much better place without relgion.....I will ask you one thing.....How many wars have been started over "science". How many wars are over "Religion". Go figure. I would stress this point further but i do belive in population control.
Im going to stop now....I have much more I could say on the topic of relgion however i dont want to hurt anyones feelings or beliefs. They have their right to belive in whatever they want as do I.
Sarge On!

I think this thread will get closed soon.
Just before they close it, I will give my input.
I am an atheist, not the actively religion hating king of atheist, but an atheist nevertheless.
Many people have faith in religion exactly because of the fear of being "alone", being the only person responsible for every choice they make as well as its consequences. So they need a God, an almighty entity to put their faith in.
And it's no surprise that through out history, the most violent and abject atrocities have been committed in the name of God from monotheist religions. From the ancient times to the crusade, to the inquisition, to the 19th 20th century's persecution of the jews. It continues even today with the islamic terrorists.
When I hear many christians say "no matter what you did (murder, rape, prostitution, drugs, you name it), once you find Jesus, everything is fine from now on", it just disgusts so much that I want to puke.
No surprise that nowadays we see gangstas, uber slvts, murderers, religious fanatics, terrorists who claim to believe in God...
Just look at ths forum, so many guys who claim to be "good" christians ask questions abou one night stands, cheating and hookers :crackup:
For me, I think organized religions have the benefits of providing social stability and promote "morality". But nowadays, it seems like the good sides have all disappeared, only the superstitious annoyance remained...

Re:
Religion is man's mechanism. We religious-size everything. Even knowledge and science. What's the difference between science and religion, but the same coin, two different sides? Science seeks logic. Religion, well, seeks, the emotional
Thing is, where'd the basis of EXISTENCE come from?
What provided the "spark" to even the most basic quarks to eventuate the universe as we perceive it?
How does a masterpiece known as LIFE, come to fruitition without some other being power precipitating it? (I.e. the blank slate of the universe doesn't just create CONSCIOUSNESS as we know it and then brazenly give it a SHOVE and walla, UNIVERSE and life)
What ever said, LET THERE BE LIFE? Think for a minute on that. What set the slate out for the blackness of thought consciousness, which provided the foundation of what is the universe? What, who, or how, said, let there be energy, which would eventuate the universe and the big bang theory, and all other scientific phenomena.
In my estimation, science seeks to perceive reality, with little relevance for WILD thought. It's definition of WILD thought is far too strict to really bring in to question REAL concepts. I'm not overtly religious, though my background is Christian Catholic. Yet, its always boggled me HOW we came to be. HOW, the fundamentals of existence, the building blocks of life just POPPED up arbitrarily. Or are we just someone's dream, that's so real, that everybody else seeks to make it all the more permanent, yet we're not that at all.
The eyes see what the mind, heart, and body want it to perceive. Hypnosis, in a very rudimentary way communicates as much. Beyond that, we can't fathom reality, only with the senses we're given. But what if higher beings had MORE senses, thereby perceiving reality, or the dream state, to a greater degree?
If all life is energy, what if senses were developed that UTILIZED the energy we're bathed in?
I personally don't care what people believe, and it's evident in society most don't either. Belief yields their molding of reality or perception. I just don't get why humans, who utilize 10% or less of their brains, and often react on instinct/emotion first, THINK that we can perceive existence through science, which again was an invention of man to understand his surroundings. Life is TOO mysterious and too far beyond comprehension for us to actually THINK or BELIEVE we can logically "get it." We might get a ship to the moon, but in the world of possibilities beyond that, it's a mere drop in a monsoon.

I believe religious threads are banned here.
But for the record I don't believe in a god, and I never will until he/she/it gives me indesputable proof. It's a bit dumb to expect me to believe without proof and I'd think if there was a god he or it would be mature enough not to play such silly games (unless god is a woman.)
However, as long as people are happy and good to others, I respect their faith.

Actually history has proven Christianity is strongly linked with despair and desperacy. The idea of going to "heaven" if you've been a good boy, is an excellent way of motivating people in crappy times.
One of Europe's most religous times, the middle ages, gave rise to Christianity in its most fanatical and extreme forms, because people were not very happy. Let's face it, if you only had a 30-year lifespan, lived in filth, your village was attacked by bandits every few years...wouldn't you cling onto Christianity?
Most peasants in the middle ages lived terrible lives, and their only consolidation was going to heaven.
PS. For anyone who asks "why didn't the peasants just kill themselves to go to heaven", suicide was illegal under Christian regimes.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

OK, Atheists, if religion is all bunk, please explain your ideas of right and wrong. What happens when two peoples' ideas of morality conflict? Moral relativism falls apart quickly. There has to be some sort of shared morality for any society to function. But what is the Atheist rule book? How is right and wrong defined?

There is no right and wrong. Morality is simply a tool humans developed to keep societies stable.Bible_Belt said:
Athiests have a rule book called "use your frigging common sense". You could say common sense is our bible.
To prove my point: There has never been an athiest crusade, inquisition, or wars based on moral values. Why? Because common sense dictates these things are stupid...

Master Don Juan
ok, but then how are conflicts resolved? All I can think of is that is has to come down to some sort of popularity contest. But looking back through history, abolition and civil rights were certainly unpopular at times. A 'majority rule' concept of right and wrong would have said that slavery and Jim Crow laws were moral because they were supported by most people. So shared concepts are part of the process, but how do we tell when the majority of people are wrong?
“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”
Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.
I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.
Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules. Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.
