Actually, if I remember correctly, Dostoevsky meant that humans would be capable of all sorts of vice and evil
without a goodly God providing a guiding principle. Bear in mind it's been some time since I studied Russian Lit very closely,
but I believe that's what old Fyodor had in mind. I just cited it because I've had it tossed at me by atheists in the past, so I
presumed there's some schools of thought out there that adopted the line of thinking as their own, just in a different light.
Oh, I see. I don't see why athiests would adopt it, though, since such a statement is rather moronic if that was how he meant it.
If the only thing people have stopping them from, say, going on a serial killing spree is some Sky Fairy, then they have problems,
is the way I see it. (But then I've argued about this very subject so many times on NationStates--much more civilly, I should say--that
I'm just plain tired of the argument, hence my flippant comments about stupidity.)
Sky Fairy? okay dude you're really pissing me off. just because you don't believe something that doesn't mean you should disrespect it.
the only people who would agree with you are people who believe like you anyway, and they aren't going to say anything cause they'll
think you look retarded for bring up such facts as "Your beliefe that Jesus is God is impossiable, and your God is a sky fairy" in a thread about some 8 bit gopher
popping out of the ground and destroying the world. now me bring a 19 year
old in collage and not some 7th grade kid who is so insecure about his beliefes that he has to attack other peoples for no reason on a
topic where its barely relivent, and later even off topic, i just dont see why you people take the time to attack God in EVERY post.
anyway i am really sick of people not believing in god just randomly attacking him and people who believe in him
"hey, i beat super mario!!!
oh, by the way got sucks and so do christianz, and they dont exist lolz!"
i am trying to enjoy this message board and people like you are making it very hard to do so.
grow up. theres a time and a place for talking about god, and here in this topic isn't one of them.
if i wanted to read about how Christians are retarded because some little 12 year old says so i would have looked
for a topic called "OMG JESUS ISNT REAL CAUSE I SAY SO AND I AM ALL KNOWING AND POWERFUL!!!"
yea, i know. I'm probably going to get in trouble by mods for this post, and they wont do anything about his. funny how that works huh? -.-|||
