Problems with teens

[nlCuber22]

Well if the truely are your freinds then they shouldn't care if ur athiest or not.

If I had a friend that is atheist (which I do), then I would care. However, I wouldn't force my views on them, or anyone. As Edmund said earlier, I would like them to believe, but I don't have a problem with them if they don't.

It's because they are idiots, that's why.

Being a kid might have something to do with it. See, kids don't really have religious beliefs. They are fed by other people (I won't go into that). You have to realise that kids are naturally idiots, it's not your fault. You are not an evil person, nor should they make you feel like one.

The best thing you can do is discuss this with adults (parents, teachers etc). They'll know how to deal with it.

Good luck

1. Please use proper grammar.
2. If I had a friend that is atheist (which I do), then I would care. However, I wouldn't force my views on them, or anyone. As Edmund said earlier, I would like them to believe, but I don't have a problem with them if they don't.

well i would agree with that
i still have a few religous friends
i would like them not to believe but i wont try to change them

Why not? Don't you care about the well-being of your friends?

Well-being in relation to religion (or in some cases, atheism or agnosticism) is completely opinionated. Your post makes me cringe.

No, I wanna know what needs to be repaired. If it is violence then yes it could use some repairing. If it's global warming go kiss Al Gore's @$$

:fp Global warming isn't something you believe or not believe (like god). It's fact.

Global warming isn't a fact.
And if you want evidence of god then look threw a Bible and you will see a lot of things it says has happened.

 

[dannyz0r]

So the bible is the truth? Any evidence I would need of God would come from that? So if I say... read some manga for some proof of super powers or superhuman abilities then..?

You know that the probability of life happening spontaneously via the creation and proper combination of amino acids is incredibly improbably. Most scientists don't have any faith in this theory. Most scientists believe that the only sensible way that life could come to be about is through a force that no longer exists or is no longer effecting Earth in such a way as to create life.

Please prove to me that the entire content of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows didn't actually happen. If you haven't actually read the book, here are just a few non-spoilers that I want you to prove aren't true.
-Hagrid is a real person, and is half giant
-Voldemort is a real person and uses his real magic wand to kill people
-The very real invisibility cloak allows whoever wears it invisibility.

Please prove to me that any of the above are false. I have all 7 Harry Potter books by my side waiting to refute you.

Yes, your post was not even worth making a new argument.

You know that the probability of life happening spontaneously via the creation and proper combination of amino acids is incredibly improbably.

You clearly have no concept of how large the universe is, how old it is, or how large numbers works. Even if something is extremely improbable, with enough time and enough trials it is bound to happen.

I personally believe that Judeo-Christian religious teachings and texts are a ridiculous waste of time and effort that could be spent repairing our planet.

Are you a hippie?

lol. I was thinking the same thing. This planet will never be "repaired"...

He's talking about the planet as whole. As in all problems everywhere, making everything perfect, and when you think about it, you can't truly make anything perfect.

Sometimes the greatest action is inaction.

Really. I don't know. I'm sitting in my house looking at like 7 inches of snow. Why am I on this forum? I should be shoveling that global warming. I wish I could multitask like you though: Using the forum and kissing Al Gore's @$$.

Yeah instead you're not shoveling snow and not bothering to go research what global warming actually does.

Snow storms are caused by pressure systems that form because of atmospheric thermodynamics. The snow you're looking at is probably unusual for your area.

It is a fact that this planet is warmer on average than it has ever been in recorded history. If you've learned any meteorology you know that this can create unusually high snowfall in certain areas. You might prefer to call it Global Climate Change, but the fact is that we must stop producing huge quantities of atmospheric waste.

I don't care what political or religious ideology you follow, but if you don't recognize that the "fight" against global warming is funded by the all the corporations who could use a discount on their waste management system then you've fallen victim to their sin of the sloth.

As long as the measuring has been consistent.

Clearly the scientists who have been spending years trying to create life have thought about that. Even when you put into consideration the billions of years and the amount of galaxies, solar systems, planets, and moons that can have and maintain life; you still end up with a very very small probability. We end up with an estimate being one in 10 to the 89,900 power. Wrap your mind around this...there are less atoms in the universe than 10 to the 89,900 power. I suppose abiogenesis is possible, but I feel that 1 in 10 to the 89,900 is essentially 0%

Tell your friends that they should not be mad at you for what you believe, as it does not affect them. Additionally, present them with an argument asking them to prove, rather than you to disprove.

I don't think we know anywhere near enough about the universe and how it works to make such an all-encompassing calculation. Even if there was some unknown force that first created life in the universe, I don't think an omnipotent, omnipresent superbeing is the most likely candidate.

If we did know enough, then this wouldn't be fun to debate would it?
