moretap ::: Favorites Can I respond with some questions: What does a teapot have in common with God? Is God a man-made object? Is the existence of the teapot part of a coherent worldview that provides good answers to these essential questions: 1. Why is there something instead of nothing? 2. Why is there suffering, sickness, and death? 3. What is the cure for man's suffering? 4. Where does morality come from? 07-08-27 01:47:04 _____________________________________________________
Zekkron ::: Favorites 1. Yes. 2. No. 3. Only if it was Wedensday 4. NEVAR 5. Yes 6. No. 7. Masochism FTW What would it take? I'll tell you. It would take 3 cats, a window, and some Jazz music. 07-08-05 23:29:39 _____________________________________________________
hondo1188 ::: Favorites good vid g0at. well, for the first few questions, i'd be skeptical of the teapot, and wonder how you'd come by this info. when it comes to being around people that behave exhuberantly or emotionally to the teapot, i'd have to wonder if they're all mad or maybe there's something to this teapot thing. and finally, yep, IF i ended up believing in the teapot, and others told me i'd go to hell otherwise, i'd probably believe in the teapot, albeit grudgingly. 07-07-30 23:52:59 _____________________________________________________
hondo1188 ::: Favorites i can see evoloution, i totally see it, after absorbing the infinite amount of time and luck it would take, it all makes perfect sense. 07-07-31 00:01:48 _____________________________________________________
hondo1188 ::: Favorites except for that very first part. where something went zzap! and suddenly there was a blob of something that needed to eat and fuck. and what did it eat? it's own kind? was there several zzzap's in one glorious lucky moment that made the single celled organisms that could eat eachother? i want proof solid proof of that initial moment, making a creature(s) out of primordial goo. DNA forming, all that crazy shizat. until then, i think there's something bigger than us. 07-07-31 00:02:02 _____________________________________________________
kyebean ::: Favorites And how was that thing that is bigger than us created? Was there a zap? Did Santa and the Easter Bunny have too much Yagermiester one night? For any object, force, or entity, you can always ask how it was created. When you think about this you should realize that it's impossible to rationally define the initial creation of the universe (or anything else for that matter). You can't make something out of nothing, everything has a cause and effect. 07-08-02 16:57:16 _____________________________________________________

hondo1188 ::: Favorites 1. i don't know. 2. could've been. 3. possibly. 07-08-02 18:18:53 _____________________________________________________
crystaliz3dgreen ::: Favorites If I started to feel a fire in my stomach and saw my arm that was fractured totally healed before my eyes. Then I would believe in God. If I could love even the most hateful person then I would know God exists. Let the teapot tip. 07-07-28 11:36:55 _____________________________________________________
professionalpirate7 ::: Favorites why do atheists always have to engage in mockery on the christian faith? we as christians dont believe in some tiny little teapot floating around in space. we believe in a supreme, perfect God that created us, and our universe. believing in a tiny teapot floating around space is just crazy, and all you're trying to do is mock us. if you can PROVE to me that there is no God, then i'll believe you. but you cant. the only thing atheists can prove is that there are other theories out there. 07-07-06 23:13:41 _____________________________________________________
PitajTatu ::: Favorites You said: " if you can PROVE to me that there is no God, then i'll believe you. but you cant." I say: If you can prove to me that there is a God, then I'll belive you. And, can you please prove to me that there is no santa? No, you can't. lol 07-07-10 14:18:11 _____________________________________________________
CptDarknuggets ::: Favorites Proof that the teapot exists. I answered 7 no's 07-07-06 18:41:41 _____________________________________________________
GenesisVIII ::: Favorites The basis of the proposition, is an existentialistic argument, for example: A tree falls down in the Amazon Forest, you neither see it, hear it, feel it, taste it, or smell it, did that tree fall down? If this statement pre-conditioned and confined to yes or no, an answer cannot be forthcoming at all. The example is an invalid one. Hence, the confined questions of a presupposed celestial teapot, can be deemed as invalid too. 07-06-29 20:52:16 _____________________________________________________
tjohooorider ::: Favorites The question was not "does it exist?". It was about belief. Given the premises, would you believe? If not, what would it take for you to believe? What insight do you have about your own faith and beliefs? 07-07-05 02:54:31 _____________________________________________________
fingerbutton ::: Favorites what if i told you there was a toaster in my basement that could talk? yes you will believe me and you will dance when it tells you to! 07-06-10 20:20:36 _____________________________________________________
aikiboy1111111 ::: Favorites [cont] Therefore, I suggest that we deal with the issues like creationism and people trying to debunk global warming, which are problems in critical thinking, and can even be solved within the church, (not to mention that being aware of cold reading goes a long way too) and I suggest that we deal with more important issues, like worrying about the collective survival of our species. 07-05-27 00:27:58 _____________________________________________________
ztisdale ::: Favorites aikiboy111.... You wrote 7 posts regarding this video, then you said we need to deal with issues like people debunking global warming. Now it's your turn for some critical thinking. Is global warming our greatest concern today? We have more important issues to deal with, affecting us now (AIDS, poverty, terrorism). Anytime someone provides counter-evidence for global warming does not mean they are trying to debunk it. It's evidence, crucial to our total understanding of global warming. 07-05-27 02:36:46 _____________________________________________________
aikiboy1111111 ::: Favorites In short, I'm an agnostic. In terms of an analogy to God, who cares really if there is a God or not. Is there really any harm done by religion? Yes, I know about the fundamentalists, creationism, etc. but once they are dealt with, is there really any harm in belief in God? What about misrepresented science? Truth be told, there is no harm in belief either way, only in lack of critical thinking. 07-05-27 00:25:41 _____________________________________________________

aikiboy1111111 ::: Favorites [cont] 7) I'd get ticked off at first, because that is appeal to force, one of the worst fallacies that inhibit critical thinking. So, I'd check with the other believers in the teapot and see if there was consensus about that hell belief. If there was, I'd like to see proof of that paradise (see answer to question 6). If there wasn't proof, then I'd probably not believe. 07-05-27 00:22:53 _____________________________________________________
aikiboy1111111 ::: Favorites 6) Sure, but first, I'd have to see some evidence of that paradise, and a cold reading medium like John Edwards doesn't count. Here's a question in reply to this one. Would we know for certain it was giving us this paradise? Or do you mean it as someone telling us we would get paradise? Otherwise, I don't know how to answer the question. 07-05-27 00:19:59 _____________________________________________________
