Theist Challenge met: I conceive of something that doesn't exist
Upon editing a show today I stumbled across a funny short segment. I'm digging through almost 60 hours of unedited content, and working on having around 100 hours of fresh content available by years end. Subscribers, please stick with us as I work to bring you tons of new material.
Here is the short clip... meet the Furger Argorock...
Vote for Democrats to save us all from the anti-American Republican party!

"Anyone can repress a woman, but you need 'dictated' scriptures to feel you're really right in repressing her. In the same way, homophobes thrive everywhere. But you must feel you've got scripture on your side to come up with the tedious 'Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve' style arguments instead of just recognising that some people are different." - Douglas Murray
Its funny, I have always felt that it is precisely because the typical God concept is so obviously just a human concept of a father-figure and/or alpha-male inflated to 'super-being' status that proves it originated in our own primitive brains.

Aw, thanks a lot. :>
What the hell, while I'm at this nonsense here's a quick tee design. Not enough lovable imaginary beings to compete with old Spaghetti anyway. x)
Like I asked you in the e-mail... Have you thought about mass production? JillSwift is just one market demographic you could target. lol.
Gone are the days when atheists were typically just obnoxious old men not in need of plushies.

Wait, did you just call me fat?

That was my dear sister emailing you about my plushie, not me. (I had no success emailing. xD) Anyway I haven't thought about mass production, because Furgor Argorock is Sapient's intellectual property. But if you believe Furgors have enough marketable potential, I'll be more than happy to help you guys make cuddly Furgies available to the likes of Jillswift!
A Furgy in every atheist child's bedroom!
Tell me about it... next thing you know, we'll eventually lose our tradition of sympathy for Hilter/Stalin as well.
LMAO. No.
That was pretty funny. Sometimes I forget to separate marketing from real world. lol.

Would you like to point out one characteristic that God possesses that could not have been created by man?
Sure, all of them. Man cant create anything.
Every single one I can think of is drawn from things people have experienced .
(That is the whole point, some human at some point in time had to experience GOD. He then propogated this idea through the generations.)
By logic, god (any god) is man-made
(Can you not see the contrdiction in these, your 2 statements?)
To be intellectualy honoest I will conceed that man throughout time has worshipped spirits represented by symbols such as monkeys, elephants, idols etc, however I think you miss the greater point here. And that is:
Why did peoples throghout the earth feel the need to worship anything in the first place ?
Would you like to point out one characteristic that God possesses that could not have been created by man?
Sure, all of them. Man cant create anything.
If you have indeed concieved of something that does not exist then you have gone beyond the natural world into the spiritual. A strange place indeed for an athiest wouldnt you say?
CONGRATULATIONS!!
.......on becoming a theist.
Hey Bro, who are you talking to? Nothing can nor ever was created, only re-shaped.
Congratulations Ernest Hemingway who said: "All thinking men are atheists."

Thanks always good Sapient for helping those sick religious idiots who live with shit in their pants. Lot's of dirty underwear out there.

Well, hello.
We have been pondering the theory that we can't conceive of anything that we haven't experienced. Even the Furger Argorock is just a compilation of known traits of different animals. The statement that you have made here is an assertion I have heard from many theists; as a premise, you've already assumed that the concept of God is impossible unless He exists, but this concept can be easily attributed to human invention. I mean, think about it. We have love and power, combine that with the mathematical concept of infinity, and tada! Furthermore, it is often claimed that He has a body exactly like ours, except it's perfect. He loves. He's jealous. He's our Heavenly Father, whom sent His only begotten Son down to Earth to be crucified for our sins.
But, in the same that we imagined the Furger Argorock, Santa Claus, and vampires through things that we know, why can't we imagine God? The Bible even says that we were created in His image! That just seems ridiculously obvious to me.
No, I can't. Please explain.
Okay, so your contention is that you possess an inherent desire to worship something and that you don't see any other way this could have arisen.
My answer for this is simply biology, but I'm guessing that's not going to satisfy your curiosity. I'll just leave this for now and wait for someone more qualified to explain it.
You're moving beyond the meaning of Brian's original statement. The Furger Argorock is a mix of things that do exist, but the entity itself, the creature, when taken as a whole, does not, just like God.
Congratulations for making the retarded, "You're a theist, you have faith," argument. Theists believe that a God actually exists. Just because I can imagine something, doesn't mean that I believe in it.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors, | As I foretold you, were all spirits, and | Are melted into air, into thin air; | And, like the baseless fabric of this vision, | The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces, | The solemn temples, the great globe itself, - Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve, | And, like this insubstantial pageant faded, | Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff | As dreams are made on, and our little life | Is rounded with a sleep. - Shakespeare
Personally, I'm just going to laugh at you because you think a goat with six legs signifies the end of the world.

The 1st ammendment doesn't mean the RRS has to let you post your psychotic rants over and over on here, fucktard. Go back to Club Cuckoo.
