Do you know how you got here? Either through religion or science or philosophy? Are you 100% certain?

Do you know where you are? We don't even know where the cosmos begins and ends so we have no idea where we are.

Truth is you don't know a damn thing about life.

Once you understand and accept this you will become super open to everything.

You're right. I don't know a damn thing about life.
It is a mystery, an adventure, and an exciting journey. How would knowing how life originally began or my precise location in the universe improve that? If I obsess on those questions, would I not be missing out on "living" life?

you would

Aren't you "FvckYou" just using your third screen name?

Or fourth.

It's the same guy

You are preaching to the converted. See, the site is called "Agnostic" which means "not knowing".

I'm not talking about the site. I'm talking about the people on it. You can label yourself whatever you wish. Doesn't make it true.

@Drank_Spear Oh, I think that the people on this site are well aware of all the implications, and understand them to far greater depth than that.

@Fernapple If you think yet do not know what's that get you?

@Drank_Spear Open to everything, according to your post.

@Fernapple open with the heart and intuition.

The lapse of logic you are spewing out here, is the argument "how do you know you're not a brain in a vat". Matt Dillahunty has some interesting views on said argument, and he kind of puts it to rest.

excellent. Invite him to respond to this post. I prefer people that use their own brains.

@Drank_Spear If you are serious, call into one of his shows such as the Sunday Show on The Line network (youtube) The Sunday Show airs Sunday at 12:00 CDT [callinstudio.com] or phone 720-619-2288

I'll give you a heads up, your "Do you know how you got here? Either through religion or science or philosophy? Are you 100% certain?" and your other "questions" are familiar argument posed by many a theist on his shows. Your "100% certain" framing is a component of those arguments that may have you backtrack just a bit as "100% certain" is not a position he, and most every informed rational thinker thinks including myself profess.

Have fun. I look forward to your - - - - - discussion on the Sunday Show.

@NoMagicCookie I'm not a theist and I have no desire to benefit someone else by appearing on their "show". I don't do "shows"

@Drank_Spear Put your intellect where your mouth is. Can you answer the questions you asked of us?

@Drank_Spear it's basically a call in radio show. Do you honestly believe your thoughts on these subjects are original? You've probably never had an original thought your entire life. That's not meant to be mean, just honest

@Tejas I don't care.

@Betty questions are meant to stir thought. Do you have one?

@Tejas of course it's not meant as mean. It's meant to bring me down several levels intellectually and spiritually where you are so you can have a conversation with me that you actually can comprehend. Problem is I don't care if you comprehend or don't. I speak, you listen and if you can't comprehend then it is what it is.

@Drank_Spear Does that mean you have no answers?

@Betty my answers are for me, not you. find your own answers. My desire is that others wake up. Not ask me questions about things they obviously are incapable of understanding. Fact is if you were awake you wouldn't be asking me questions. You'd already have your answers.

@Drank_Spear

Congrats on not being a theist.

Not sure why you employ the exact talking points of many Christian Presuppositional apologetics?

Just a FYI: The channel also accepts (on a lower tier) atheists.

After reading your "excellent. Invite him to respond to this post. I prefer people that use their own brains."
I Kind of figured you would not follow through with your point:

Perhaps you were just unaware how many time Matt Dillahunty has stated, If you have an argument, call in. I (will not) (don not) have time to argue online.

Although It would have been fun to listen to you defend the relevance of your position/questions, I offered the above information to expose your reluctance to honestly explore the debts of your topic on a live venue.

@Drank_Spear Double standard.

@NoMagicCookie I am sure of why. because you take it what is already in your mind. You attribute what you think and feel to others. That is why.

@NoMagicCookie I love your logic. Now suck my cock. If you don't suck my cock then you are a mother fucker. Which is it. Are you my cocksucker or are you my mother fucker?

@Drank_Spear I mean out of everything you have posted on here. None of it is original relevant or intellectual. So idk why you think you're smarter than anyone else.

@Tejas that's what's in your mind. Not what I've said.

@Drank_Spear Defensive too. Interesting...

You speak only of your own truth.

So daddy injected sperm into mommy's receptacle & merged to begin a reaction that produced me. Why this happens is still unknown to us. I will never be "super open to everything " due to my ignorance, morals, & emotion. Some things can not be answered. Some situations have no solution. I am learning to accept this tho it frustrates me. Now I am working on tempering that frustration. Accepting what I can not change. I CAN change myself.

We are here for such a short time. Stop fretting and just enjoy life.

Through Evolution is how I got here, yes, according to the evidence that is out there by top experts on the subject, I have doubt's on the extraterrestrial intervention theory on our creation , but I highly believe extraterrestrial worlds exist on other planets, they think the cosmos goes on and on and is continuing to expand, and started with the big bang ,were somewhere on the edge of the spiral Milky way on one of It's outer bands, true ,we don;t know where we are, we know that we are in somewhere in space on a planet revolving around a star, theres a lot we don't, know about were we are in the universe science is working on it and progress, That's why I am an atheist freethinker

You're a freethinker yet you are waiting for others to think for you. Interesting.

we both think I think what is the right decision to make, and what I know, the others are the scientists that are highly skilled in their work be it astronomy, paleontology archeology, origins of christianity and the poor evidence for it, experts that dissemble the bible, my decision is to avoid religion falseness ,that suppress freedom of thought and rely on what these scientists say, they have studied for years, and listen about what the conclusion they have come up with, and what they have,, as a freethinker I think about the world I came into, and I don't see it looking like this, a world of human suffering and war ,so I decided to search for the truth

@Drank_Spear where oh where did @ml58n2 say that?
You're just pissed because he didn't fall to his knees and thank you for enlightening him...in fact I think your browbeating may have alienated him, for sure after you dissed him in your "thoughtful" reply.
But you've had that pointed out to you before methinks.

@ml58n2 Be mindful of science and scientists. Many have an agenda other than truth. Trust yourself.

thank you for your comment Anne I'm not pissed at all, everyone has their own opinion just pointing out the facts, we have to rely on science too, nobody was dissed, have a good day.

@Drank_Spear Isn't that what religions want to do..." think for us".

@Betty yes

@Drank_Spear I would rather do my own thinking.

@Drank_Spear When their data can not be independently verified then they get called out for it.

@Betty who are you talking about? theists again? I'm not a theist. Why are you so caught up in that mindset? Why can't you expand your mind beyond it?

@Drank_Spear Theists' data can not be verified. Scientists' data can.

@Betty correct and if you're a follower then follow science to your death. I'm not a follower, I'm a leader.

@Drank_Spear If you are a leader then you have followers yet, you disparage followers. Would that not count as hypocritical?

@Betty you say disparage, I say challenge. Most of my followers (this website is only a handful and I have thousands), are awake and see things quite differently.

@Drank_Spear Ah, you are one of those. No thanks.

@Drank_Spear Are you aware that delusion of grandeur is classified as a mental illness?

@Betty if you have anything intelligent to say, say it.

@Drank_Spear You do like to avoid answering questions.

@Betty no, I avoid idiotic conversations.

Open to everything, including stupidity, lies, false beliefs, and conspiracy theories? Some things you don't need to know to survive, and there are some things you do. The Darwin Awards prove that: [darwinawards.com]

I got here because I had parents. Where does the cosmos begin and end? Nobody knows. If we are living on our globe and point upwards then nobody knows which way is up.
