Things that you hate, but almost everyone loves

Soccer/football
Pizza
Shopping
Video games
Salad dressing
Most modern music (past ~1965)
Cell phones
Touch screen devices (phones/iPods)
 
I think that fact that most of us hate football/soccer disputes the fact that everyone else loves it.
Same thing with modern music. I doubt it's a cuber thing.
 
I totally don't mean this to come off as mean towards those who have posted about religion before me, but the thing I hate most and the thing which most people love to do is make ultimatums (especially about religion).

There is almost nothing that can be completely proven or disproven. If you examine any point fully, you will find that nothing is certain, only highly probable. For instance, I personally believe there is a creator of some kind out there (for those who disagree feel free to pm me and I will explain more of my reasons besides what is to come), whether you call this person a "God" is up to you, but there is no logic that can get around the fact that before the big bang there was nothing and now we have something. Something cannot come from Nothing, therefore something had to have started everything. Alternatively, one could very easily say that there isn't a God due to the imperfection of the universe and the fact that a true God wouldn't create such imperfections which is purely suppositional, but equally plausible. To state that there simply is or is not a God is to be making an unsupported ultimatum, because as humans with our current limitations in knowledge and perspective, we cannot know these facts for certain unless God came down and showed herself.

I understand that people normally make these ultimatums so as to seem confident in their claims, however in doing so, they are making incorrect statements.

Oh another thing that annoys me is when people don't take the time to have intellectual conversations. Most people find them boring, but I absolutely love them!!

Also...

The thought of the possibility that a god as described in the Christian bible exists.

The thought that we all came into existence by coincidence which is how evolution works.

ultimatums (especially about religion).

One of the biggest ultimatums in our society is how that schools only teach the evolution side of how the world begins stating that is true according to 'scientist' and all other theories are just 'religion' nonsense. When really big bang and evolution is just a theory (that why it is called the Big Bang theory).

creator of some kind out there
For the world to exist there have to be something that is eternal. 'Scientist' still haven't found anything yet.

Something cannot come from Nothing
Yet this is what our society accepts. I don't know how 'Scientist' say this is true when it haves never been observed before.


wat.
You state those like facts. I love cricket and AFL, and I don't find cricket boring in the slightest. I wouldn't go to a game by myself though.

I'm pretty sure I state those as an opinion instead of like a fact. I don't say that I hate football, I just think is talked about too much then it deserves. I do enjoy playing football. Beach/ Backyard Cricket can be fun to play but serious cricket gets boring because it is only have 3/20 people doing something as a time while the rest just sits/stand there doing nothing.
 
It's all based on faith in something (whether is be science, God, or a god). The origins of the world will never be proved.
PERSONALLY I believe that the God of the Christian Bible created the universe. But that's just my faith. Can't prove a thing.
 
Stop arguing religion. You're all terrible at it and you're all making me cry.

I agree this should not be an argument about religion thread, but I at least, do not believe my arguing skills in this area are sub par. In fact, I would say they are sup par if I may. I have spent a great deal of time studying and thinking about this topic. The argument I provided is but one of many in the area of proving a creator and eventually a "God" (I put quotes here because the definition of God varies from person to person and is thus not truly one fixed idea, but rather multiple conflicting ones). Only as a whole do all of my arguments, IMO, prove that there is a God.

Sooo, not to be rude (although there is no non rude way to say this), but I believe that you have the wrong definition of ultimatum as you use it is part A.


Definition of ULTIMATUM by Merrian Webster Dictionary

: a final proposition, condition, or demand; especially : one whose rejection will end negotiations and cause a resort to force or other direct action

Examples of ULTIMATUM

She was given an ultimatum—work harder or lose her job.
<issued the ultimatum that the project be finished by the following week, or it would be terminated>

As to the claim that scientists have yet to find a creator, I would simply reply obviously! How on earth are they going to witness the creator in action now. Who is to say that even if they could go back to then that the creator has any solid form i.e. it could just be energy. The point of my claim that something cannot come from nothing is that there is no way for nothingness to burst into somethingness without some form of catalyst. It may be possible, but the chances that it are seem miniscule to me and the chances that something created it (thunk Occams Razor) seem more likely. If you ask anyone who studies the big bang, the greatest mystery of it all is how it started. No one can know for sure, but all we know is that something had to have created the initial ball of mass and energy in order for the Big Bang to occur.

Finally, I would like to say that I in no way propose that the judeo-christian God exists as we think of it but rather that it seem highly likely that a being exists outside of our universe who have powers we cannot even imagine. I believe this being likely created our universe i.e. it is the creator. That is all that I was proposing.
