Tabris Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Let's see, then: Is censorship of "bad words" (lol) warranted? Or is it just bullshit on the freedom of speech? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I would like to join because of my atheistic beliefs. Being split between Christianity and Hinduism, I am forced to believe in many upon many of Gods. My argument is that everything is proven. 1 + 1 is proven by the mathematical operation of addition, converting into fractions, and LCD. Anything can be proven if it is A, logical or rational, or B real. No one can prove a God exsists, it is all crappy beliefs and customs. No one can prove God, so it is not, A logical or rational, or B, real. =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Requiem Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Censorship is a restraint on our rights, but there are reasons why. Many little kids impressionable to anything they see or hear.

I could be brought up 20 years without cursing, but I will have to start it eventually. It is a restraint on our freedom of speech, and most curses are just idiots who converted normal words into bad words. Gay = Happy Nowadays...

Silas Angel Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Personally here are my views on "Bad Words": 1. It is a breach on our freedom of speech *If indeed you have any*2. It is wrong to do so. I say this because it does not glorify God. EDIT: No one can prove God' date=' so it is not, A logical or rational, or B, real.[/quote'] Not necessarily.

Tabris Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 It is wrong to do so. I say this because it does not glorify God. I'll ignore God for the while. Maybe' date=' yes, it is wrong to do so, but what's the difference between callin' someone: A. a [place non-censorworthy adjective here'] B. a motherfuckin' piece of sheet ? ... that's right; none. You just offended whoever you are talkin' to. Why the puritanical bullshit, then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silas Angel Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I agree with you, but to a point. It's true that there is no difference between the two, unless you put words of kind, caring, and loving nature within the brackets. Other than that, it is wrong.

~Shore Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 the thing about censoring cuss words is that it just gives them more weight. If no cuss words were censored, they wouldn't be cuss words anymore. Racial/prejudice slurs would be the only true cuss words then. Everthing of our moral today are from random thing. What we do certain things such as certain things eat' date=' say, dress or random things.[/quote']^ thank youyour wording is a bit awkward but you have a point. Things such as manners, culture, knowledge, and language are often quite random, although culture is influenced by the real world. A lot of these things aren't the way they are for a particular reason, but just because we needed something to do that job and ended up with that, especially language where a word is just a collection of random sounds, that have been given meaning to serve a purpose.In a similar way, religion is random. The way people view God could be completely correct, or dead wrong. But they created a vision of God to serve their need for faith and something to pray too. But if there is a real God, it is probably nothing like human Gods simply due to probability.In a way, we see what we want to see, and what we want to see is often random and irrational.

Dark Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Quick question, has anyone ever seen God? No. Heard God speak. No. Felt God? No. Has anyone ever been associated with God, saw God, knew of God's exsistent? God is an invisible little thing that people supposedly believe in and when they hope enough, it comes true. Hope, what is hope? Does hope alter the chances of reality? Do beliefs alter those chances? I have a 2-sided coin, and I HOPE AND BELIEVE it will land on Tails. Here is my outcome. HeadsTailsTailsHeadsHeadsHeadsHeadsTailsTailsHeads ??? Hope or beliefs are ones perception, they do not alter reality. PS: I actually used a coin to test it out, I swear. =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This depends on what you determine as "feeling" God. Q. Has anyone ever been associated with God, saw God, knew of God's existence?A. You've already asked if one has seen Him. Yes, many have been associated with Him and I do know of His existence, as do the elect saved by grace. Q. Does hope alter the chances of reality?A. No. Q. Do beliefs alter those chances?A. No. Hope or beliefs are ones perception, they do not alter reality. Agreeable and agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
