anyway when you said i assume "they" are blocked i wasn't just singling out atheist as you may have thought i was doing. when i say blocked by pride i mean everybody....on earth. i said everybody has all this pride nobody wants to admitt they are wrong and look foolish, if one says they don't i feel dumb when proven wrong about something they are so insistant about they are lieing, just my opinion. what makes me think this you say? take a look at the video in qeustion here. this guy is breaking down the big bang theory and doing a good job and replacing theorys with other theorys on why the big bang theory just maybe might be wrong. good work on his part, but everybody who came in here who believe in evolution did not want to hear it, no matter how good his points were.....he's "full of it". i don't know your beliefs beckys mom but do you think this guy is full of sshh...crap?
You can take ANY theory and break it all down and replace it with your very OWN version and what YOU think works...if you published your theory...i'll bet you anything that you will get people to actually find YOUR theory and YOUR views make sense...the trick is to carefully think long and hard before you post it
it's all in a persons mind what they see fit...what makes sense to them...if it does..they run with it...it could be ANYTHING, even your very own horoscope in the daily paper, if you are into that sort of thing and you read your sign, and it don't add up to you, your mind will MAKE IT WORK and MAKE it add up to you in the end...it's all in the mind <--look another theory lol

t has occured to me people use to follow a religion but soon stop because they don't find the ansewers they want. i see it every day. my attatude towards that is go ahead do what is good for you. for what ever reason i don't care. i judge no one....i am not god. i don't really understand your question about ex preist but okay....
.
Lots of priests, ministers & pastors drop religion and go their separate ways....even those that were christians most of their lives drop out....ALL of these people have their reasons...each differ...and to be honest it is NO different from those t
hat NEVER followed religion and all of a sudden take a keen interest and become true followers within their own rights ...see what I am saying?QUOTE
you seemed to be misunderstanding my statement about people feeling stupid but it's okay. if i woke up in the morning and said man my belief sucks and choose the diffen't way only to find out one day my original way was the right way (which i don't feel there is a right way in this world), i would be wrong, might even feel alittle stupid. i'm saying that on serious topics such as this nobody wants to be wrong. if yourself or me was proven completly wrong about our belief we might feel dumb. people might play tough and say i don't feel dumb and try to hide it but we're all human....HUMANS HAVE EMOTIONS....FEELING STUPID IS ONE. especailly proven wrong about stuff like this
If you tell yourself your way is the right way...thats fine..but you are no different than the rest of the world that follow God or Gods...you are NO DIFFERENT...for if you didn't think your way was the correct way...you wouldn't follow it.....................BUT..if you woke up one day and pondered accross other ideas and followed them...then you are hardly going to all of a sudden think...- nah my old way was the right way...NO you wont...it would take a long time before yu could make that choice...assuming you wouldn't be doing a half ar*ed effort LOL
I believe MY way is the only true way of following God..if I didn't believe so..I wouldn't bother with it...would I??
