I think I'm,,,,,,,,,,,
by Kool Jo inhello folks.... so after a year of fading (some ups & downs), reading, researching and even praying....i'm starting to think i'm agnostic.... there are a couple things i'm having a hard time understanding:.
1. what's the real purpose of life and creation?
so we're created to live a perfect life, two clowns over 6000 years ago made a mistake and everyone is paying for it, although no fault of our own?.

The complete irrationality and unreasonableness of belief in 'miracles'.
by yadda yadda 2 inthe great british philosopher david hume listed the following reasons for rejecting belief in miracles as described in ancient scripture:.
people are very prone to accept the unusual and incredible, which excite agreeable passions of surprise and wonder.those with strong religious beliefs are often prepared to give evidence that they know is false, "with the best intentions in the world, for the sake of promoting so holy a cause".people are often too credulous when faced with such witnesses, whose apparent honesty and eloquence (together with the psychological effects of the marvellous described earlier) may overcome normal scepticism.miracle stories tend to have their origins in "ignorant and barbarous nations"- either elsewhere in the world or in a civilised nation's past.
the history of every culture displays a pattern of development from a wealth of supernatural events - "[p]rodigies, omens, oracles, judgements" - which steadily decreases over time, as the culture grows in knowledge and understanding of the world.who can really argue with this, honestly?.

Counterargument to Everything is Biased
by enigma1863 ini wanted to offer an argument against the idea that scientists are biased to their own "worldview" so you cant trust what they say.. imagine you are a serious fan of a sports team.
you make it to and watch every game.
you will be biased towards your team.
