Proving Every Religion is Wrong with Math! (Joke Topic, Calm Down)

[Articerile]

Ah, but that only takes on religion into consideration.

As it happens there is more than just Christianity.

But yeah, and since believing in God and following his word would generally lead you to be a nice person, it'll help society too.

Erm... how did you manage to turn a joke thread about religeon disproval... to disprove all mathematicians... ever?

[Gold Jinjo]

...but what if I don't believe in Math? Math is quite obviously your religion, Grey.

I subscribe to English. Grammar, sentence structure, semantics, unity, clearly expressed ideas, and so on.

Anything is possible now that math is fake .

"The idea of the world, the material universe, created itself is absurd. For a physician, a single atom is incredibly complex. it supposes such intelligence, that a materialist universe purely concieved lacks sense (..) I do not concieve the world but with a infinitely intelligent creator."

If that worked, it would make yard work a lot easier.

All right, now we finally find the one that is right. At this point, 1/10 groups were correct, and 9/10 groups were wrong (or .9 of all religions).

However, religions are not bound by quantity. There can be an infinite amount of them in existence, so let's up our totals a little. Let's say that now there are 100 religions total with the same stipulations. Now, when we find the correct religion we have 1/100 that are right, and 99/100 that are wrong (or .99 of all religions).

Continue on with another multiple of ten. Now we have 1/1000 religions that are right, and 999/1000 religions that are wrong (or .999 of all religions).

All right, enough with static numbers. We have the ability to reach infinite, so let's actually approach the limit.

Now we have 1/infinite religions that are correct, and 99999~/infinite religions that are wrong (or .999~ of all religions).

Since calculus proves that .999 repeating ~= 1, then .999~ of all religions is actually 1 of all religions, or, more simply, all religions in general.

.

In actual mathematical terms:

lim 1/x = 0
x->inf

In words: The limit as x tends to infinite of 1 on x equals 0.

Where x is the number of religions and 1/x is the probability of being right. BTW for those not in the know 'lim' is the 'limit', Google it if you want to know more.

Poor guy, I asked him if he wanted sugar in his tea & his response was "I think not." Then he vanished.

Grey, honestly, I think this makes more sense than your actual arguement.

And .999~ most certainly does equal 1. Here, I'll show you.

We all agree that 1/3 + 2/3 = 3/3 = 1.
We all agree that 1/3= .333~ and 2/3= .666~.
Substitute .333~ and .666~ for 1/3 and 2/3 respectively.
Add .333~ and .666~ and you get .999~ which shows that it is equal to 3/3, and therefore 1.

You could also use a fancier method. This is a way to show what fraction a decimal is equivalent to.

Let f=.999~

10f= 9.999~
-1f = .999~

Add the equations together.
9f= 9
Divide both sides by 9.
f=1

So f=1 and f=.999~, transitive .999~=1



EDIT: Haha, just read the article on wikipedia, I coulda stolen both ways from that.

AHHH. I HATE MATH!!! ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH *head explodes*

Going by the statement in the first post.

Atheism is, in fact, a religion. Therefore, it must be wrong. That makes all religions right, while being wrong at the same. So therefore, this is no right religion, and every religion that's not a religion is right, but that's impossible since they're not religions.

PARADOX.

[firealpha]

Atheism isn't a religion. Atheism means you don't believe in any form of a god or multiple gods.

Hell, if you're Buddhist (sp?) and you're one of the ones who doesn't believe Bhudda is God, then you're atheist.

[SSJ3 Gogeta]

I believe Buddha said he never wanted to be worshipped as a god.

[ConkerTribe]

Even more interesting (and challenging) than Atheism is Nihilism. Making everything mean nothing is harder than it seems.

This is true. I don't know the breakdown, but some do believe he is a god. I hope the majority don't. I mean, I'd understand worshipping him as a god if he was all "LOWLY PEOPLEZ OF TEH EARF!! WORSHIP ME!!! OR IZ GUNNA GETZ CHUCK NORRIS ON YOUZ! LOL!!!! WTF?" But he wasn't.
