oh excellent, you've proven that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about

Ok here it is,

The only reason people believe god exists is because they are afraid to die.

What do i mean by that?

Humans seem to have been gifted with an intelligence, and because of that we're smart enough to realize "oh shit we're going to die someday" But also, as a result of the materialistic society we live in today, people become attached to their lives, to their sense of self. With their jobs, family, cars, hobbies etc., the begin to want to live forever, and don't want to admit to themselves that "I ,name, am mortal and will die, and once i die, i will not exist as name anymore, there will be no I, name, because the whole idea of I, name is contained within my mortal brain.

With that in mind, and the desperate desire to deny the power and existence of death as a part of life, they create an after life with "God" where they can live forever by "his" side as name, they never have to die.

People decide to lie to themselves about their own mortality, insisting that God exists and will save them from death and give them "life everlasting" THIS STUFF IS IN CHURCH TEACHINGS AND LITURGIES

Since we now see that the very IDEA of god has been constructed by humanity because of its genuine FEAR of Death, we know God to be merely a construct and therefore non-existent.

Now that is not to say the "God" has "his" affect on people. Whether or not he exists in this universe, he most definitely exists in the minds of those who believe, and their actions are definitely influenced by his "presence"

Thus we arrive at the second reason for God's existence, Social order.

We all know that human beings are VERY prone to immediate gratification and are present-minded fools. Some very-intelligent person realized a long time ago that people would do WHATEVER THE HELL THEY WANTED, and destroy everyone in the process. Now there is nothing intrinsically "wrong" with that, its human nature, but for society as a whole to flourish its not a good idea.

So our smart guy thought "Hey, I'll convince everyone that there's some magical, omnipotent, omniscient being that will throw them to a terrible place called "Hell" once they die, if they've been "bad". Or, if they've been "good" all their life, they can go to a place called heaven where they get to live forever! and enjoy sweet virgins!

Thus giving humans an incentive to be good! My God, it seems that we're being treated like children, candy dangling in our face, available to us only if we've been good! haha

This is a pretty biased viewpoint, what do i mean by that?

Look, in the olden days, the Greeks used to say: "oh God's up there on that giant mountain that's covered by clouds". Then when someone got to the top and didn't find a golden palace they said "oh just kidding"

Now Christianity started by saying "look God's just way up in the sky, in a different realm," When scientists began discovering that the world isn't the center of the universe the church didn't like that at all.

Finally, we reach space and discover that there is an infinite amount of space all around us, and God doesn't seem to be anywhere there, but people who believe in God just modify their position once again: "He's in a different dimension"

Let's look at the argument history now side by side

Non-Believers Believers

Olden Days: Doesn't Exist On the mountain

A.D Doesn't Exist In Space!

Space-Age Doesn't Exist IN ANOTHER DIMENSION!!

Clearly its only logical that the side that doesn't continue to modify its argument when proved wrong is the right one.

And frankly, asking us to prove he doesn't exist is ridiculous. People prove he doesn't exist for millennia, and each time that they do so, the believers change their conditions for God and say "ok NOW prove he doesn't exist"

when will you be satisfied?

And for "Christ's sake" You can't use the BIBLE to cite your argument. It'd be like someone using a book written millennia ago about some magical being (with no evidence except their own experiences) to cite an argument PROVING that such a magical being exists.... OH WAIT

Ok, arguments like this are what give anti-Obama people a bad name.

So we know you're not just breathing hot air out of your mouth, can you explain what you mean by "socialist" and "populist"? Do you know what those words mean? Can you cite some instances where he has demonstrated a hatred of freedom or free choice? What about responsibility? No I didn't think so. He may have no idea how to run the country, he may have just ridden a wave of popularity into the office, and he may have the wrong agenda, but calling him a socialist who hates freedom is absolutely ridiculous.

P.S, a populist is one who has the interests of THE PEOPLE at heart. Populism has NO ties to Socialism, do your research and gtfo the internet

Your #4: "Due to the stimulus package, the economy is improving. Here is a jobs chart link And that is actually off, we actually gained 200,000 jobs in January the most recent numbers indicate."

If you aren't aware, the unemployment rate is still a whopping 9.5%. Here's a breakdown state by state, and if you actually read the data, it's gone up from about 5% (an acceptable rate) to nearly 10% since Obama took office.

Also, if you haven't learned about proportions in the 12 grades of school you've probably gone through, I'll teach you now.

Yes we may have created 200,000 jobs in January, but if people begin LOOKING for work, or others quit their jobs, then those 200,000 just come and fill in the gap left by those others. So the proportion of unemployed/employed stays the same, as the does the jobless percentage.

The initial counter-argument would of course be "it's wrong to force people to get something marked into their own bodies." But take a step back and look at the pure social-utility this would create. People would be much safer having sex after such a program were to become mainstreamed. Sex would be safer, (because you just would look first for any tattoo and if it were present, it would hinder the desire to have sex). People would have sex more often as it would have less negative consequences, and thus be overall more relaxed and content with life and themselves.

And for all of those with such incurable diseases, they could always have sex with each other, so it wouldn't necessarily ruin their sex lives either.

*I envision dating sites and services for those with "H" tattoos, "G" etc.
