    @Wiredkid1 Are you referring to the plague in the bible? Or are you referring to the plague caused by the bacteria yersinia pestis? Either way your not making sense.

    Christianity : The belief the some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because? a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat? from a magical tree.
    Makes perfect sense.

    Disease and natural disaster is not an argument against God. Disease again is caused by man-made things like processed food, junk food, polluted water and air, etc. Don’t blame God for that.

    I love you Neil, but when you said ‘aborted feces’ I laughed out loud.

    Intelligent design my rectum. Intelligent design my rectum. Intelligent design my rectum. Or perhaps I should say: Intelligent design my appendix. One could use the hypothesis of intelligent design as toilet paper.

    @1tabligh Shut up, you deluded cunt.

  9. 1tabligh says:

    “And the parable of those who disbelieve is as the parable of one who calls out to that which hears no more than a call and a cry; deaf, dumb (and) blind, so they do not understand. ”
    The Quran 2:171

    Surely the vilest of animals, in God’s sight, are the deaf, the dumb, who do not understand.  
    The Quran Chapter 8, Verse 22

  10. 1tabligh says:

    They became disbelievers, and because of a deficiency of their knowledge and puerility of intellect, began quibbling inimically with Truth, so much so that they denied creativeness and claimed that all this universe was meaningless and vain, without any ingenious design on the part of a Designer or Creator God – a purposeless non-entity without balance or poise. (Con’t)

  11. 1tabligh says:

    their devils and spectres. They have eyes but do not see, they have tongues but are dumb, and do not understand. They have ears but do not hear. They are happy in their contemptible degradation. They presume that they are well-guided. They are diverted from the rank of rational beings. They feed on the vegetation of’ polluted dirty people. They deem themselves safe from a sudden visitation of death and the retribution of deeds. Alas! How ill fated are these people! (Con’t)

  12. 1tabligh says:

    This analogy holds good in the case of those who deny the creative factor and the argument in favour of Divine Design. Failing to appreciate the merit of their provision, the perfection of creation and the beauty of design, they start wandering in the wide world, bewildered by their inability to grasp with their brains the underlying causes and principles. Mankind is perplexed and bewildered, blind, infatuated in their perverseness, following (Con’t)

  13. 1tabligh says:

    And this is what the ATHEISTS fail to understand and in their misguided blindness and bewilderment they are like the blind people groping right and left not knowing the purpose for this Universe, and unaware of the underlying ingenuity, they might begin to reprimand the architect of the Universe in their offensive rage, whereas, as a matter of fact, the fault lies with their own inability to see. (Con’t)

    Well, thank you for my score…
    But you say you read many comments… Is this since februari 2010? A comment reader for 5 months?

    Why do you even use Internet… your television will give you the truth…

  19. AnomalousAppendages says:

    @zumobster Congratulations, you got a pretty high place on my list of the most stupid people posting around the internet. And let me tell you: I read many, many comments everyday.

    @kid43332 You know i was joking right?

    zumobster If you want to debate me on God first check out my channel to read my reasons for not being a Theist and answer one or all of my arguments against Theism.

    @Transhumanism101

    Sorry, but you are wrong…

    If a biologist would do his work as normal then it wouldn’t have to do with evolution but if a biologist would make the connections and say: “there you have it… evolution” then there is an evolutionist. There are many people who believe in evolution while having no knowledge of it only because it souns plausable or logical.

    Sure there is a believe for evolution… (like i know 100% evolution has nothing to do with humans)

    There is know such thing as a Evolutionist they are called Biologist and the people who aren’t Biologist such as my self accept Biological discoveries. Evolutionist is a name creationist mad up to make Biological Evolution out to be a Religion in which its not. I also suggest you learn about the scientific method before making stupid posts such as know evolutionary Biologist will never admit to making a mistake, please learn about the scientific method.
