This conversation would be a perfect example of exponential decay for my math class. We have gotten bakc on the subject of Flashman's damning people's eyes, which always ends up with us all giggling like idiots :).
Zeni, you don't have to prove anything to be an atheist, any more than the Christian camp has to prove anything. I don't believe there are any deities. I respect a person's right to believe so. All atheism means is that we deny the existence of a god. It doesn't mean we are intolerant, militant little berks who insist that we know God does not exist.
By your logic, everyone is an agnostic. No one can prove anything.

Wasn't my logic. I believe David Hume was the first to argue that point some 300+ years ago.

at my church, they were handing out tickets to see this movie... mom really wants to take dad, me and my brother to see it... im not really interested in it...
Just got back from seeing it - thought it was perfect.
I'm glad you think so Ali.
And I'm sorry for before. I never had any problem with you at all. I was going through some crap. Not an exscuse, but I'm sorry.

Just out of interest Matt, did you find anything anti-Semitic in it?
Not that I think it probably is, it's just interesting to see if people who have seen films can pick what people get upset about.

Thanks, Matt - I am sorry that argument occured, too, but it is all in the past now. :^)
I'm not going to see it. My husband saw it and told me all about it. From what he told me Mel Gibson's Jesus would have died before being crucified.
No Dragon, there was nothing in that movie that made me feel that way at all. It was wright from the Bible. And I doubt that God is anti-Semitic.
And don't forget that Jesus was God made flesh. He could withstand anything until it was time to finish.

I saw it on Wednesday (my computer is down that is why I am not on much now) and I did not enjoy it. But That was juswt it was too graphic for me I think. My mom heard an interview with the guy who played Jesus and she said in the flogging scene they were supposed to be hitting this board in stead of him but they hit him once, which hurt so bad he coulnd't say a word or tell them to stop, then they missed the board again and it tore about a foot long gash in his back.
As for my beliefs, I believe in God but I choose the life of pleasure because I think it is better than heaven. I get so mad when pastors say that "salvation is free" yeah right but he wants your entire life devoted to him.

Am I an athiest or agnostic?
Here comes the cliche ...
I don't know and I don't care.
I am supposed to be doing taxes now while my wife is off galavanting at church. Nah this is my time. Maybe I'll do it later ...

Well, atheists don't believe in it, and Agnostics are undecided.
If you've got to disprove the existence of God to be an athesist, haven't you got to prove the existence of God to be a believer?
Since neither can be done, by that reckoning, we're all agnostic.

I refer the honourable gentleman to the reply I posted some days previously.

ROME, Georgia (AP) -- Tickets at one movie theater screening Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" are being deemed decidedly unholy.
The number 666, which many Christians recognize as the "mark of the beast," is appearing on movie tickets for Gibson's film at a Georgia theater, drawing complaints from some moviegoers.
The machine that prints tickets assigned the number 666 as a prefix on all the tickets for the film, said Gary Smith, owner of the Movies at Berry Square in northwest Georgia. The 666 begins a series of numbers that are listed below the name of the movie, the date, time and price.
"It's from our computer and it's absolutely a coincidence," Smith said. "It has nothing to do with the film company or any vendor. It's completely in our computer."
In the Bible, the book of Revelation says 666 is the "number of the beast," usually interpreted as Satan or the Antichrist.
Several patrons have made comments about the numbers, and one person who was uncomfortable having 666 on her ticket asked for a pass to be substituted for a ticket.
"A lot of people have asked what the numbers mean, some said it seemed odd, some said it was inappropriate," said theater employee Erica Diaz.
The movie, which opened Wednesday, is a bloody depiction of Christ's final hours and crucifixion.
