Wow. I didnt know there was still so many religious people in the year 2014. Particularly on a videogame forum!
Im certainly a little embarrased, but oh well...its your life guys, if you want to seek 'hope' talking with a imaginary pal in your head thats ok, im not going to oppose you.
Take care.

You are so cool supernihilist, I'm sorry that we religious people make you embarassed.

You really deserve not to be and we are ashsamed of ourselves.

Will you ever forgive us?

Shalom


Honestly. If i cared, i wouldnt. I wouldnt forgive you, at all. If it was in my hands, i would totally eliminate them. They are obsolete institutions. Pointless and obsolte at its highest degree.

Theres nothing good coming out of these institutions today. Actually what we usually hear is pretty horrid. They only propagate misinformation and apart people from reality and science.

Just embrace scientific method already. Its the year 2014 for Christ sake ;). You will do much better for mankind.

The point of religion wasn't for the theism and mythologies. It was a way to help keep the community together. However, nowadays, people have been using religion for other purposes, often unethical and the opposite of community building. It is the abuse of religious power that has prompted the aforementioned question from the OP. I don't have a problem with religion as long it is not forced upon the people. The problem with religion in the US is that it is.

I'm not sure how you came to those conclusions.

In my life, my church community gives me hope and brings me closer to all people. If some people are using religion for wrong purposes, it does not make religion bad. It makes their use bad.

Again, is a knife in itself a bad thing if one uses it for murder?

That's the thing. Your, but yours isn't all the religions and the religious institutions. Also, what kind of hope does your church brings? The hope for Heaven? The hope for a good, fulfilling life? If it's the former, then that's false hope because the concept of Heaven arised from the fear of death. The latter, I have no problems with whatsoever since it's a universal desire people have.

yeah, so far as I can tell there is only one guy working on this seriously who I've never heard of. it's impossible to establish this...presupposing it's true and then gathering evidence to support that position is BAD science, BAD reasoning, and BAD for humanity. it should remain a philosophical consideration, and be abandoned empirically.

I bet this never gains traction with the physics community, it's largely been dormant since 2012. probably for aforementioned reasons. you know, it's a bit like "Creation Science", lots of hand waving.


The one difference in creation science is this isn't based on a Diety. It's based on science itself. 



well, it's based upon the philosophical idea which predates it, but a step in the direction of tests is fine. it's an idea which is interesting, but no tests will ever be able to confirm it is the case. best scenario, it's aligned with observable data. so what though? you need to go beyond nomological possibility into actuality, which can never be achieved here. which is why I'm very bored with the idea.

No chance. Statism is declining, and it will be harder and harder for statists to control the market place of ideas. I say that as an agnostic Atheist. Though-control has no place in the modern world and nobody can legislate beliefs.
