[cate,Sep 15 2005, 12:50 PM]You are an idiot.. that's why. This whole god damn time i've been talking about stateing evidence of stupid ass claims. ok? Then right after that you post exactly what I said NOT to. (Your first post)
I really shouldn't do this because you have already proven your inablity to understand a basic concept-- people can say whatever the hell they want. Someone says somebody talks in demonic tongues others say its jibberish. The person who believed it was an actual language will go around telling people that this person talked in a demonic tongue and people will believe them. These people being YOU. You are the idiot who believed what the fool that made up this crap. You breed misinformation and create myths in doing so..
Anyways what I wasn't going to do is explain my beliefs on the matter but I will do so for the benifit of the doubt that you might actually learn something. Highly improbable.
I have gone to church from the time I was born to the age of 15. Our church was penticostal which means we believed in the "Holy Spirt" which would cause people to talk in toungues. After ever service we would have alter calls where people come up to the alter and start praying and singing praises to god. In the middle of all this people would out of no where start "talking in tongues". The holy spirt which these people believed so completely is completely fake.
The idea is people believe that this spirt exists and they want it so much that they actually start creating it for themselves. Its a mania of sorts, it's in your god damn head. How do I know this? I have gone to these prayer sessions and accepted god and wanted to know what this whole spirt things was all about and I wanted to believe for myself.. through experience. Problem is I prayed till I cried and guess what ... I was left there at the alter with the plain hard truth which smacked me in the face. I am not as impressionable as the people are, I cannot create false realities for myself because my common sense does not accept bullsh!t as easily as others.
This combined with all the other claims of supernatural events which the people of the church testified weekly of utter crap which is NOT God's work in their lives but rather the mechanics of fuucking cause and effect. The cause and effect of my parents forcing me to listen to that bullsh!t for 15 years in the simple fact I am now an atheist. Well actually it is a bit more complicated than that because there are many more reasons why I don't believe in such dribble.
Now since you will probably need me to relate this back to your claims of the demonic speaking in weird toungues. These people believe they have a demon inside themselves therefore their mind makes real this reality. Mixed with schizophrenia this is a perfectly reasonable explanation.

Reading through this, you have clearly shown that you ignore what everyone has to say.
His inability to grasp a basic concept? The only one I see in this thread that has the inability to grasp a basic concept is you. You sit there and rag on us saying we are all retarded because we believe in this sort of thing. Where is your proof that it is fake? Don't start telling us to prove anything, because you are to egotistical to try to listen to our arguments against you (Another Ihatett?)
You try to argue against the fact that someone said different languages, and another said jibberish. Hmmm... Do I have to spell it out for you? They are called EXAMPLES. Clearly, you cannot understand that basic fact, so you clearly flame us for pointing out a good and plausible possibility that they are real.
Now. For my example to show to you what we mean.
How is it possible that an American, who does not know Russian, is just suddenly able to speak it? That is impossible.
Here is another example.
How is it possible for an African who has never heard German in is life, able to speak it fluently? It is not.
Mind you, these are examples of what we mean. So please. Try to avoid flamming us again for pointing out plausible possibilities just because you think that mental people can just suddenly "learn" these languages.

Not true. I believe there is something inside me, but there isn't and my mind doesn't make it a reality.
And yes. It is possible that Schizophrenia can make these demons real, but doubtful. Explain to us how they can speak a language known to man, spoken by other men, written by other men, when they have no prior knowledge of the language.
Have I spelt it out good enough for you yet? Or do you still believe and refuse to listen to our points?
Just because you believe them to be mental cases (And you yet to provide evidence to your claim. Oh yes. Hypocracy. You tell us to prove it and we try. Yet we ask you to do the same, and you say you don't need to, or all the evidence points to it. Where? Where is this "evidence" you speak of?... Hmmm..... Hypocrite) does not mean they are.
And you call yourself an atheist because you aren't "subjectable" as others? It shows. You're to hardheaded to even have a reasonable debate with because you throw out everyones arguments, and only listen to your own delisionised ones.
You call everyone morons because they believe in something that is true? Just because it cannot be proven? No one can prove the existance of god except for one thing. Creation. Look around. It cannot be evolution. First off, because one celled organisms will only produce other one celled organisms. Second, because if you think about it, how can earth just manage to be in the right spot to sustain life? One degree closer or farther from the sun and Terra would be uninhabitable
Ever heard of something called faith? Apperantly you haven't. Just because people believe in god, does not make them deficient mindless retards. Go ahead and call their faith "blind". You're to egotistical and arrogent to even consider the possibility that they may be right.
And I ask you this. Where would you be in this world if it wasn't for religion and or "the illusion of god"? And if you want to try to say we would be better off without it because there wouldn't be any terrorist attacks. Get a life. The Al Queda are a radical extremist group of Muslims that have blown the Muslim book waaaaay out of proportion, so you cannot blame god nor religion for the faults of men who can't read.
