Comment Re:Humans are oxygen sinks (Score -1) 363

And humans are oxygen sinks. A better plan would be to get rid of worthless humans. Start with the Republican party and then work our way on from there.

Why are Republicans always the bad guys? Do you not realize that Republicans tend to feel the same way about liberals?

Each side believes they have rational reasons that the other side is batshit crazy.

Democrats believe conservatives are crazy and Republicans think liberals are crazy. It's like a law of nature.

Yes, we could blow ourselves up today. But.. our species has survived an ice age as well as many other major climate shifts. We have survived population bottlenecks where we WERE a small, conveniently tiny target. We interbred a little and took on some useful genes from a few related species shortly before they went extinct. We outlasted them all.

That sounds like reason for hope to me!

Those "enemies" were either random forces or not very powerful. Now we have a huge potential for destruction and probably tens of thousands of people evil enough to want to destroy the whole earth. Honestly, I believe the fact that we're still here indicates that there HAS to be a God, otherwise our luck has been insane. What about the stories of people(person? And maybe they're the only one stupid enough to post to the internet) who successfully built a small nuclear reactor(might not have been a reactor, but it was a nuclear something that wasn't a bomb) in their workshop?

You assume that we'll make it that far. But you forget that as our knowledge increases, so does our potential to destroy ourselves. The US and Russia have enough nuclear bombs to destroy the world multiple times over. And even if we make it off the planet, those societies will just be conveniently tiny targets if someone decides to terrorize them.

If there is no God, there is no hope. We've gained tons of knowledge, but we're the same petty beings we were 6,000 years ago, nothing has changed.

I'd rather bet on a .001% chance that Jesus is Lord than 99.999% chance that life is based on nothing but random chance and death.

Here's the thing, though: there's not a 0.001% chance of that, there's a 0% chance of it. There is zero evidence than any sort of supernatural being exists at all, and it's a huge leap from there to "Christianity is true," with just as much evidence. You are believing it purely because it makes you feel good. That's your choice, but maybe you should find out what the alternative is actually like before dismissing it.

Christians aren't christians simply because they "feel good," they have the Holy Spirit inside of them. I'm sorry you feel Christianity is incredibly worthless, but I can assure you it's the real deal. Your purpose is tied to Jesus Christ, He is the reason for your existence.

If you have not had an encounter with God, that is because you do not have a desire to have an encounter with God, it's totally on you.

I don't understand the appeal of evolution. Even if true, you're pushing the idea that life has no true purpose and random death means progress. If that's true, then by all means, let's placate ourselves with lies of resurrected skymen who die that we may live.

Seriously, wtf? I'd rather bet on a .001% chance that Jesus is Lord than 99.999% chance that life is based on nothing but random chance and death.

That being said I DO have faith in Christ, and the proof is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

...you cannot patent something that does not even work.

Why on earth would someone be unable to patent something that doesn't work? If I had the money and time to patent a manufacturing process for a square wheel, I'm pretty sure the patent office would accept it. They'd laugh at me, but that's not a reason to reject a patent.

I don't really feel like I have any sort of disease.

I love how everybody but autistic people want to cure autism.

I mean we very seldom lie or use subterfuge, and yet WE'RE the ones that need to be cured? And what about the awesome abilities some of us have with math and various things? For all anyone knows, we're the next step on the evolutionary ladder and the only cost is a little special attention when we're children.
