Did Darwin Kill God?

chatting with a pal last night while drinking wine and we came to wondering if god was gay.

it's no big deal nowadays but back then there would have been a lot more stigma about such things pre-stigmata.

it's just that we couldn't think of one mention of god (the christian one, that is) having a wife so perhaps it was all kept hush hush like barry manilow.

I don’t know what goes on during your wine evenings but I think you should stick to beer.

To answer your question… the idea of the Abrahamic god didn’t pop out of nowhere, he is heavily influenced by those that came before him. Those being polytheistic “god kings” such as Zeus. And it’s no exaggeration to say that he fucked everything that moved.

Also some great former posters on the first few pages of this thread. Some I suspect still walk among us under different pseudonyms because they’re not boring enough to keep the same username for 14 years like some of us…

i have an inkling you don't like me.

you recently called me "a bit weird" but where would we be scientifically, artistically and even metaphorically if it weren't for the weird thinkers who have preceded us?

beer isn't good for you. wine is very good for you.
beer makes you serious. wine makes you soft and nice.

yes, i know all that and i'm pretty sure you know i know all that, but it doesn't at all answer the was he gay question.

i chose not to reply to your big bang theory post because it was textbook regurgitation based on unsubstantiated here-say and you seem to be doing the same thing here again.

all we are doing is questioning everything and more importantly not taking life too seriously.
we aren't doing any harm to anyone (nor are we advising other people how to behave) we're just enjoying life, that's all, and making ourselves laugh.

it escapes me what viola said about feste.

forgive me, fluxy, for not being boring enough. i mean no harm.
 
back on topic.

the idea of evolution was around way before charles darwin .
he nicked all his ideas from his grandfather, erasmus,
and he has been proven incorrect on 2 counts i know of...

1) evolution only progresses little by little (gould and eldredge sorted that one out)

2) survival of the fittest (which he stole from herbert spencer anyway)






and the wart on the side of his nose was very unfetching

I really have absolutely no ill-will towards you, I'm just trying to answer your rather esoteric and slightly bizarre questions. I get the feeling these trains of thought are like a form of performance art for you.

If you want me to answer your question in-kind, then I would say god (for those who believe in him) probably transcends our terrestrial characteristics. He's probably a man, a woman, gay, straight, disabled, a horse, not a horse.

He's basically Gianni Infantino.

that's okay then.

thinking about it, yeah, maybe it is performance art, that's not something i'd considered,
but then again, it's arguable that everyone who posts on an internet forum is a kind of performance artist.



i was just about to post the above,
but i had a sip of wine instead and was minded of one of omar khayyam's rubaiyat quatrains...

"whether at naishapur or babylon,
whether the cup with sweet or bitter run,
the wine of life keeps oozing drop by drop,
the leaves of life keep falling one by one".

(fitzgerald's translation from the persian
and i recommend the copy with the dulac illustrations).

khayyam loved his wine,
first thing he did every morning upon waking was to walk in the garden cup in hand
and i personally know several devout muslims who drink wine.

beer could never be classed as the blood of christ.

anyway,
i wonder how many innocent people have been killed in god's name since darwin supposedly killed god.
it must be lots.

i don't know the ratio between humans and gods.
the maths thread is probably a better place to post that question,
but at a guess i'd say one god is equivalent to one million humans,
so the innocents are still the shat upon even if god does exist.
