Can you tell me what "good hearted" means?

I guess I should have specified. Doing something good or kind without influence of consequence (Karma, god, whatever)

Please don't ask what something good or kind is //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

8. We do not compete with apes over similar resources.

We absolutely compete with primates. They occupy land and humans absolutely always need more land. I give the primates another 50-100 years and then you'll only see them in zoos.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Of course that is the natural regression. Please define what is good or kind. Make sure these are universal definitions. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

edit: For the sake of being a real dick about it, can you tell me what the human heart has to do with it? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

It is a basic human function to try and help people and make the right decisions, we live in an economy based society, where peopel are nice to you if they think they can gain something from you - look at your actions, who you hang out with. You are ultimately a product of your parents and then the enviroment you are raised in.

I either have freinds that help me out sometimes or I help them out sometimes - but it is benneficial to both of us in the long run.

Raise a kid with no boundaries and let them do what they want their whole life and they might figure out that good creates good, or they get lost in hate, violence, lonlieness, shame, wahtever they have been subjected to up to that point, yes you could take a 12 year old from white suburbia and have him drinking a pint of whiskey for breakfast and shooting ak-47's at innocent people all day within a year- he woudl be a product of his enviroment.

I love how almost everyone avoided #9. I Think the reason why they dislike christianity is that is pressed on to every one. Like the term " Oh thank god" is pressed in to every ones mind at a early age. Also I think its stupid on every war ever fought religion was some which way brought into it. This only my thoughts and im in no way stating im atheist. Also when this country was started it was started for a reason to get away from religious oppression but now every were you look its "in god we trust" this or "God bless america" so on. its even on our money (our for fathers did not put that there congress in 1956 did) And we basicaly say any one who dosn't believe in Said god is going to H ell. yet those same people say this county is free from oppression. Yeah right.

/rant.

btw you argue that im wrong all you want.

I still don't understand why an atheist would care all that much. Maybe I am blind to all this "oppression" but I really do not see it. (Yogi Berra eat your heart out).

i really don't care that all that stuff is printed on our money. it's not like everytime i use the money i have to say "and may peace be with you" before i pass it on or something

so basically what i get from all those questions is they are trying to insinuate that ur only a good person if you believe in god.
if you can honestly say that all those priests that have ***** little children are good people then maybe believing in god is a bad thing.

maybe all the followers of religion are the bad people. i dont want to be associated with child rapists.

idk how u picked that up from all 9 questions

No one reads the thread, do they?

lol after reading the rest of his post that you quoted, i hope he's not serious

I for one am an atheiest because nothing that has been said about god can be proven. Somethings may not be able to be explained, but in my mind it was not a higher powers doing, but coincidence. They even proved that the parting of the red sea is possible under certain circumstances.

this is one thing i have to disagree with u about

Funny how intelligent a 3 year old can be. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

I know it's a figure of speech...I've heard many Canadians use it before, and don't care for it.

I still don't understand why an atheist would care all that much. Maybe I am blind to all this "oppression" but I really do not see it. (Yogi Berra eat your heart out).

Aside from the fact that it is unconstitutional in the US, it is just another example of the government and its decisions being ruled by Monotheists.

you can never please anybody. if an agnostic/atheist came into power, and tried to take all that off everything, then all the relgious people would be pissed.

you win some you lose some. i guess that's the difference between religious people and everyone else.

i couldn't really care less about little things like that. but it would be the biggest problem for a lot of people if it were taken off....

so have you learned anything about atheists adio? or are you still as ignorant as you were when you first started this thread?

edit: does anyone else find the "sterotype fighter" tag under his name atrociously hypocritical?
