The big crunch is a theory, the universe may continue expanding then the Qur'an may need a rewrite, but more likely another fundamentalist will find another vague sentence and link that to the expanding unviverse.


Until this is proven, the Qur'an stands unchallenged Wink .


Your a fundamentalist while I'm more athiest we will never agree.

This whole topic is absurd. The Qur'an is about as relevent to scientific method as the bible.

You reallly shouldn't use the common practices in those times to justify mohamed's behaviour if you consider him to be a prophet. I mean if a man cannot see the wrong in his own actions how can he preach to the masses.

How can it be wrong if the rest of the society accepts it? Now, it is wrong. Then, it wasn't.

In fact the whole foundation of the koran seems to be based on one morally corrupt individual who should be punished by laws (real ones) better than those laid down by himself. Where would we be if the criminals could lay down the law. Case in point is the stupid paedophile party in the Netherlands trying to legalize child-sex. Sick.


Which laws? Of other cultures? That's like going to china and yelling at them for not being american or french. That's just idiotic. Each culture has their own set of laws and values. You cannot just go and tell them to accept your ‘perfect’ values because their values are silly.

Unless your awareness of things beyond your eyes can be used to make better decisions regarding the situations you find yourself in .. its a deviation from your own life .. feel free to gain awareness of things .. gain knowledge .. but remember you gained organically .. don’t expect to be able to share .. each of us finds out what we go looking for .. trying to make someone else be aware of what you are aware of is like trying to share a shooting star .. you have to accept it, its just for you ..

You want to share .. share your awareness .. not how you gained it .. because its yours .. only you see with it .. each of us has our own view . .some see with it .. some don’t . . meh

Honesty is the best policy IMO .. seems to me that way .. you more lightly to notice the truth when you perceive it ..

Awesome dude.You hit the nail right on the head because at this point people on both sides of this argument are thinking about the other person, 'why is he blind to the truth'.

Only problem here is that, there can be only one truth so one of us has to be wrong. Sad

Both your arguments can be refuted by pointing out that just because a group of people agree about something, does not mean they are right. Societies, countries and even the whole world have been wrong about a lot of things in the past. The mind-job by Hitler of the entire German nation did not make him or the country right. It just led to a whole country believing in false ideals and making one really bad turn.

Similarly, at one point, the whole world was convinced that the world was flat. Guess what? Very Happy They were wrong. And it took one really exceptional man to swim against the current to set things right. Wouldn't have happend if he had been a mindless part of the herd

Somethings are just wrong no matter how many people practice/condone it. Paedophilia was wrong, is wrong and will remain wrong. Even on the day that the entire population of the world turns muslim (a wet dream of many muslims) sex with nine year old children will remain wrong.

And if I should have the misfortune to be alive on that day, you can be sure that swingman will be the one guy disagreeing with the people and probably mooning them. Razz I'll probably get a sword stuck up me in the wrong place Crying or Very sad but wtf, wouldn't probably be worth living in a world like that anyway. Very Happy

But Islam is an absolutist religion, not a relativist set of moral beliefs - if Mohammed said it was OK to fuck 9 year olds then, then it's OK to fuck 9 year olds now, since Allahs will doesn't change to account for differing cultural norms.

Actually I think you have missed the point .. you can perceive the truth .. they can perceive the truth .. it really is the truth for both of you .. really .. catch is .. you cant see there truth & they cant see yours .. all you can do is use your awareness of the truth to find solutions .. solutions that both of you can agree on ..

In short don’t expect other people to be able to speak your brains language .. its only you who understands it .. because its customized for you alone ..

so far as I can tell

Nop, it's not contradictory because some things are wrong in all times that was my point. For example, the universal declaration of human rights. Society can and should influence laws, however, the cores will always remain.

My point of religion is simple.

Religion is fine, as long as people only "use" it for them selves, to find strenght in trubled times or what not.
The second it goes beyond individuals it's no longer fine and should be forbidden, punisherble by death, yes death, not because I think believe in god is a horrible crime but there is no other way to stop religious people, jail or anything else wont change it.

As for my personal view on god(s)
There are no gods, what there are are imaginative figures of unending power that people who do not have enough faith in themselves can use as a crutch.

Life sucks ?, blame god
You need good grades ?, ask god
Truble ?, ask god
Things go bad ?, blame god
You do something stupid ? , blame god
You need a reason for an atrocity ?, God!

It's a way for people who wont or can't take responsibility for their own lives to put it on someone else.
And not just someone else like their father/mother/friend who can take the blame or be put to the test, no soem figure that noone can touch, bring to justice or question

Are you guys under the impression the only distinctions present in regards to the belief in god are theist (belief in a deity) or atheist ?

Monotheistic religions have a nasty habit of teaching the world that unless you worship there deity they worship .. you don’t believe in god .. its a stinking lie .. many people believe in god .. who do not worship or believe a deity is presiding over the universe ..

The English language is very limited when it comes to words that describe spiritual affiliations & belief in a higher awareness .. as a result of the English language leans very heavily towards the theists line of thinking .. but that should not succeed in tricking people into believing the oxford dictionary has the right to define god ..

That’s up to each individual IMO .. when I yell “O god” What I am addressing is very much up to me .. same goes for you .. I don’t expect you to define god the way I do .. nor should you expect me to define god the way you do ..

Like pissing or anything that is distinctly personal to each individual we all have our very own point of view on god .. whether we acknowledge | realize said point of view or buy into other peoples .. we still have our own, underneath .. if we drop all the other points of view .. one still remains .. our own .. Shocked

Why the fuck did someone even bother to make a website about it.
It's so shitty I crapped my pants! The MOST vague sentence is used to describe a super specific scientific theory.

Geez, total and utter bullshit.

those highs are the greatest. Where all your doing is shit talking and coming up with shit that really doesnt make sense, but because everyone's fucked it does make sense....thats the greatest Laughing Smile

Seriously tho, its fun to listen and watch stoned/drunk people go on about something they know jack shit about. I always take a few minutes when im partying to listen to the shit around me. Sometimes people come up with the most mind boggling shit Laughing

You should give it a try man, losen up. You can be both analytical and smart while being a fun person to party with Smile

Hey man I know. I love that too. If you're all on the same shit it seems everything everyone is saying makes perfect sense. It's just so funny if you take videos and watch them the next day and realise how retarded your conversations were.

What I don't like is when people think they what they experienced while under the influence of the drugs (or any other altered state of mind) actually applies to real life. It's almost always complete bollocks concocted by an overstimulated brain. But some people base their beliefs on it. That annoys me, i've had a couple of ex friends become almost incapable of functioning in normal society because they think they have some sort of 'special insight'.

I think when it comes to 'highs' you should just take them for what they are. A good night. Nothing more.

this is why theistic religions need to be rained in .. they give religion as a whole a bad name .. its as if people don’t even realize the difference between religion & worshiping a deity .. really stinks .. when religion goes all the way from saying bless you to a stranger who sneezed to walking to the river when your sick of humans & the paradoxes of life .. religion is a big part of what makes us human IMo our ability to address the eternal quality of the universe we share ..

But no theistic institutions use faith & the desire to understand things beyond mere survival to control peoples & forward there insidious agendas .. so all religion has a bad name .. total bullshit .. burn the fucking theistic monuments .. all they do is cause unrest & give simple things like blessing the day a bad name .. Mad

Not everyone who believes there is awareness beyond our skulls .. worships a deity & follows the dictates of books supposedly written by a deity .. please stop lumping those of us who don’t use religion to dominate, in with those who do .. its plain crap & only serves to support theistic assertions of universal domination .. best thing to do is ignore the theists & focus on other religions that don’t feel the need to push people round ..

There is more to religion/spirituality than worshiping a deity or not believing in god .. much much more ..

Aside from one or two good songs, nothing really productive ever came out of a nite of gettin stoned...well, aside from fun and pleasure. Its enough for me tho Smile
