lol RIFA. What you see as common sense in this case, is really is not all that common. But that is for the conspiracy thread I reckon...

That makes zero sense.

How? I don't want to get into this... but to me, based on what I know and can think of, It's merely a joke to think that the secrets of religion, mankind and so on are not being kept on this earth in secrecy... Who keeps them in secrecy obviously knows. I bet the Pope knows much more than you think. And that's just one person....

hah. The Pope knows just as much as every president of the USA. zip. There are more powerful men behind those puppets who sit for decades at the "top". The mere thought that someone knows some all mighty secret is for the History Channel in my opinion...
To me, many important truths was lost a long time ago when the Roman Empire burned down the Great Library at Alexandria. Nobody knows anymore. Not even Illuminati :P

Are you basically saying that something is true simply because it is kept a secret? That's what it sounds like. It sounds like you're saying the people who keep these secrets know the truth because no one else knows.

but RIFA, what you are saying doesnt make any sense...you are saying that there are people out there who know the truth about God (which is a farse)...I think you mean to say that there are people who know the truth about religion. They are 2 different things.

I guess I created some confusion... Yeah. That's what I meant.

There are people out there who know the truth about religion. But I also believe that there are people who know the truth about God. Because they kinda go hand in hand.

If the truth is that religion is based on facts that revolve around spiritual and magical surroundings then the existence of God becomes a fact since religion upholds and praises the divine status of God and is conscious about his existence.

If the truth about religion is that it's just a manipulative tool used by some people to control/build entire societies then God's existence can't be proven since religion wasn't written with any consciousness about this diety's existence in the first place.

I hope I explained myself better this time.

Just watched some religious debates ... lmao there were laughable. Heard some atheists claiming Buddhism is an atheist philosophy. LMFAO. Sometimes atheists are as ridiculous as christians... Why? Because they use a lot of bullshit and nonsense ideas in their debates that it gives you a headache... Another atheist said God doesn't exist because universe is everything so what is God then? lmao. Not to mention some atheists use quotes from the Bible to support their theory but when christians use quotes from the Bible they all get flamed like "lmao you're using the bible as an argument so what's the point?"... Well you just did it too you idiot :lol: Damn that was fun to watch. All of them looked ridiculous, christians and atheists... There was another dude, a muslim, who said that his religion is a religion of peace... I loved when the atheist numbered several ATROCIOUS events that led to genocides because of his religion... And guess what, the christian was like "Atheist is right, hell yeah"... lmao.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :suicide:


@Carlin video.... As much as I love this man... sometimes his arguments become weak because he tends to nitpick... For example his understanding of God is a big fail. He thinks God means ONLY the old man in the clouds... which is kinda, mostly, definitely wrong...
