To be honest. God does not like curiosity. We were not created to conquer the universe. The universe was made for man, and not man for the universe. God said the earth was a sphere and that is all you need to know.

The earth is really more like an ellipsoid, and if the universe was made for us, why shouldn't we conquer it? Or will anything else out there just bow down before us, never mind whatever religions they've come up with?
"God does not like curiosity."
Yeah, that nasty little thing keeps making people look for other possibilities and stop locking step with the idjit brigade.
"We were not created to conquer the universe. The universe was made for man"
So, is the universe free for us to take or not? Make up your damn mind!
Just one more reason not to worship your god. I value curiosity and learning. I refuse to believe that the creator of the universe, should such a being actually exist, wouldn't want us to explore the universe he/she/it created.
We were not created to conquer the universe. The universe was made for man,
Holy contradiction, Batman!
God said the earth was a sphere and that is all you need to know.
Funny that, since it's not a sphere, it's an oblate spheroid. So much for your 100% accurate, infallible God.
No tyrant likes being outclassed, or worse rendered obsolete, by anything resembling "progress".
Your self-righteous sanctimony is centuries too late, and ridiculous as all hell.
But...Curiosity is natural.
To suppress or repress such natural curiosity is, in the view of more moderate Christians, ungodly , and to those who have no religion, it just plain ain't right.
To be honest. God does not like curiosity.
God doesn't seem to care one way or the other. For centuries He let millions of people die of the Plague despite their prayers. Today, thanks to our curiosity, we can cure it with a few dollars worth of pills. He neither helped us when we were dying, nor prevented us from curing it ourselves. Same with lightning and lightning rods. Same with bacterial infections and antiseptics.
Actually, I think if God does exist, he would like us to be curious and conquer the universe.
For a father, there's really nothing more satisfying than seeing his son surpass him. And I think the same goes to God. What he really wants is for his creation to become something greater than what he is.
On the other hand, maybe he's just in need of blind worshippers to boost his self-esteem.
Oh, but you'll take the medications (except Gardasil, of course) and new technologies and all that is invented by evil curious people whom God hates, won't you?
You are self centered godfucker.
Argh! You christians, you make me feel like blind old man with boxing gloves on in zombie mall.
Or Don Quijote, but propably godfuckers don't even know who the bleeding hell he is.
If it weren't for human curiosity, you wouldn't have the computer that you're typing on, nor the electricity that powers it, the house that keeps you warm, and so on. In fact, we'd still be living in caves if it weren't for our natural sense of curiosity.
I don't give a shit what your imaginary friend likes or dislikes. I'll be as curious and inquisitive as I please.
Your comment about the universe sounds a little too much like Arthur C. Clarke, a writer and a scientist .
"Man was not made for the stars"
God said the earth was a sphere and that is all you need to know
No, I disagree.
To be honest. God does not like curiosity.
Yeah, it tends to lead to things like, oh let's see, learning something.
I love when fundie arguments contradict each other.
I'm a Christian, I am also a scientist and also very curious about pretty much everything. You saying God didn't make me that way?
And for those insisting the Earth is an oblate spheroid - it's about as close to being an oblate spheroid as it is to being a sphere. It is neither. The lumps and bumps of mountains and valleys, the changing shape due to plate tectonics and the Moon's tidal pull etc. make it no more a perfect oblate spheroid than it is a perfect sphere.
I know the whole "it's wider at the equator and flatter at the poles" thing. It's about a dozen kilometres wider at the equator, a tiny difference which, proportionately, would be within tolerance for pretty much any 'spherical' ball bearing you could buy.
To be honest.
- This is not a sentence. It makes no sense.
- God prefers people who don't as questions and who a sheeple? You know this how? Are you a pastor who fears for his capacity to bilk his flock?
We were not created to conquer the universe. The universe was made for man, and not man for the universe.
- There is a contracdiction implicit in this!
God said the earth was a sphere and that is all you need to know.
- He said this exactly where? Chapter and verse!
"God said the earth was a sphere"
The universe was made for man, and not man for the universe
Logic, you're doing it wrong!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
