So I watched this video, I was kind of skeptical at first, but I think this guy offers actually a semi decent argument for why the existence of God is rationally nessecerry. It doesn't use the same old creationist crap, his argument seems quite unique to me and its more a priori rather than using flawed evidence, although the video is a little old, but don't let that throw you. Anyway I think I'll let NSG judge for themselves and see what they think:

That's an impressive proof, but I don't need to see that video to believe. I know that God exists, and that He is never gonna give me up.

What about making you cry or saying goodbye?

...let you down
run around and desert you
make you cry
say goodbye
tell a lie and hurt you.

that was really annoying.

Exactly. Praise Jesus, anyone?

Ummm, the video had a song that got stronger as the video went on. Is that what was supposed to have happened? :confused:

If not, can someone give me another link or something?

God is real! And I have more than enough proof to show He is real!



Go JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):):):):):):)


Boo allah!:mad::mad:




No offense!;)

I KNEW IT

Yep. I agree with you. Didn't watch the video. Just agreeing with you.

This is indicative of a very serious computer virus. You should get a comp scan STAT.

Dude. You shouldn't be putting down someone's relgion even if you don't agree with them. It is just common courtesy

Even more amusingly, the comments on that video go back for WEEKS, and there's still a very serious debate going on.

i saw the original when it was first broadcase. this video, while very annoying, is far superior.

are you sure you arent receiving a transmission from god?

I knew it was a rickroll when I got up to "same old creationist crap."

Pretty much ALL of the arguments for the existence of god are the "same old creationist crap."

But I bet ya clicked it anyway ;)

that is just freaky. almost 600 comments on a presentation you cant hear.

are any of them about the song?

Even KNOWING what it was, it took some effort to force myself not to. :p

I saw one or two ... the majority of the posters don't even react to them. That's almost sad.

EDIT: actually, on a closer look, I think the comments might be fake too

Of course God exists. Many of you may be aware of String Theory.

While such a concept exists, many people have, unfortunately, gotten it wrong. Properly named, it is Noodle Theory, and it is the mathematical equations of the quantum mechanics of the spaghedeity, the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

See, all of these remarks about interconnected strings are actually referring to the omnipresence of His Noodliness, the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Everything is connected to the FSM through extensions of His noodly appendages, so magnificently large that they can only be described numerically as infinite.

RAmen!

Of course God exists. Many of you may be aware of Rick Astley.

While such a concept exists, many people have, unfortunately, gotten it wrong. Properly named, it is Never gonna give you up, and it is the mathematical equations of the quantum mechanics of the spaghedeity, the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

See, all of these remarks about never saying goodbye are actually referring to the omnipresence of His Noodliness, the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Everything is running around to the FSM through desertion of His noodly appendages, so magnificently large that they can only be described numerically as infinite.

Never gonna give you up!

Is it bad that I got really angry at the first line and almost posted an angry response without reading the rest of this post?

...angry physicist is angry.

I would use swear words, but I wish not to be banned by the Mods. Suffice it to say, Rick Astley (Rickroll) is not string theory, and String Theory is Noodle Theory. If you're gonna rip, at least use quote tags, man.

Wait, are you agreeing that the improperly referenced String Theory is in fact proof of His Noodliness?

As for the angry, you didn't turn into a self-righteous bastard, thereby not violating any of the "Eight I'd-Really-Rather-You-Didn'ts". So, you're good. Feel free to disagree, but your politeness is appreciated.

Fixed.

Wanna bet how likely it is that this thread will eventually turn into a debate about the existence of God?

Wow!

I'm convinced!

God exists!

And he's never gonna give you up...

Dude. You shouldn't be putting down someone's relgion even if you don't agree with them. It is just common courtesy

I think he just wants to tell you how he's feeling. We've gotta make you understand.

Only if I can bet that it will. I'm not throwing away what little cash I don't have ;)

Wanna bet how likely it is that this thread will eventually turn into a debate about the existence of God?

In my expert opinion, the probability of that is exactly

Rick Astley / God

which is clearly equal to 1.

First of all, that video is shit, it just fades in to one of the most annoying videos ever made (comparable to watching GOATSE (yes, that goatse) dance around), second of all, to all you tards who insult other religions in this thread, go [beep] yourselves, finally, "God" as an idea only exists because people need it to. for more explanation, you can contact me at jbucky1092+religion@gmail.com

For the second time this thread, LOL!

From the inane to the annoying is not much of a fade,...


Oh and while I respect your right to believe whatever you want does not mean I have to respect those beliefs. Respect must be earned and few religious beliefs deserve any.

I was going to ask for a summary of the argument, but I take it from the comments that the whole clip is, in fact, a joke?

No, why?

No, it's not a joke. And if I were you, I wouldn't treat it like one, unless of course you're looking forward to being tortured in hell for eternity.

So, I watch the video and that Rick Roll charecter stealls the stage.
What's up with that.
concerning, existance or nonexistance of deity. A more apprpiate queston may be. Can mankind deal without the concept of some comforting father/mother figure ?

Rick who? What are you talking about? I watched the whole video and it's a very well-constructed logical argument for God's existence ...

No, why?

No, it's not a joke. And if I were you, I wouldn't treat it like one, unless of course you're looking forward to being tortured in hell for eternity.

Ah! Well in that case, care to provide a summary or transcript of the argument?

Not really, just watch the video. It's not very long.

What if I'm deaf?


Disclaimer: I am not, in fact, deaf. But I could be! Have pity on the deaf people of the world.

O yea? you think you got it tough...I'm blind!

Considering i go to a school with an 8% deaf population, i do sympathize, even if i'm not deaf myself.
Rick Astley is probably more retarded to them than it is to me.
Almost as retarded as God.

What if I'm deaf?


Disclaimer: I am not, in fact, deaf. But I could be! Have pity on the deaf people of the world.

Oh! I'm sorry, how thoughtless of me. In that case, the argument may be summarized as follows:

First, the speaker addresses the characteristics of God with regard to His familiarity with love
Second, he assures the audience several times that God will never, in fact, abandon them or cause them sadness
and finally, he ties these premises together with a brilliant resolution of Hume's Ontological Paradox, illustrated with interpretive 1980's dance moves. Very compelling, natch.

Best Rickroll ever, although it would have been better if it were more abrupt.

Yep. I agree with you. Didn't watch the video. Just agreeing with you.

*Runs away before the atheists show up and and pull out clubs*

*puts on Darth Vader helmet*

I find your abundance of faith disturbing...

*pulls out club and runs after BR*

Yep. I agree with you. Didn't watch the video. Just agreeing with you.

*Runs away before the atheists show up and and pull out clubs*

*sigh* Atheists don't have clubs, they have an absence of non members.:D

In b4 dividing by 0

I think if someone can recite the whole Rick Roll song, then they should be given a cookie, to proving God's existance. great way to merge the two.
What's even more funny is people debating God while there is a whole other song on it.

Proof of God?

Well played. :D

I have heard that song waayyy too much in the last two days...
