There is no god, except in our minds. Honestly, why the heck would there be an omnipotent being who created all? And why would the world be created in six days when all evidence points to billions of years? And when god created Earth: Are we supposed to continuously praise god for doing whatever came to his mind naturally? Is there any evidence of an actual physical manifestation of an all-powerful being? If so, why does he just focus on Earth? And what about all those foreign people who have never heard of Jesus? Are they eternally damned just for that? The way I see it, religion is false, inaccurate, and sloppy. However...
If you choose to have faith in god, that's okay. If it brings you joy, do it. There's nothing wrong with having religious faith, unless you're an ancient Aztec and has to tear open a human chest cavity every day just to make sure the sun rises. So go ahead. Believe. The only thing you're doing wrong is being stupid.
Some who read this may be deeply offended, even going to the point where they try to find out what sins I am committing. If you are offended, then I apologize.

What>>>?

I'm not touching this one. I tell you from experience that nothing but flames can come from debating religion on the internet, especially with such an openly hostile first post.

god isn't real. Thats why this is a good thread. Kudos.

heh.

I don't believe in organized religion, because all it's there for is comfort... that's the only pro, and the rest are cons. The money, the sacrifices, all of it is just useless.

Religion causes arguments, conflicts, wars, and all kinds of economic problems too. Religion is really just a pile of shit that needs to go away.

theology scientist?

[Kefka]

I'm board. I'm going to take on both your arguements at once.

For the first thing, the topic creator is a moron. For one thing, there is no such thing as a "theology scientist", moron. For another thing, you are an idiot for starting such a blatently inflamatory topic on a board that likely has many religious people on it. Also, your entire first paragraph says nothing. It is a rant against Christianity, not religion. And talking about the big band and evolution doesn't even say anything against Christianity, it is just evidence against a certain interpritation of a certain part of Christian scripture.

And who are you to judge wheather a religious person is stupid or not? Polls show that about forty percent of scientists in America go to church regularly, does that make those scientists, who have years of higher education, less intelegent than you, a punk kid who mouths off to strangers on the internet.

Your post contributes nothing to this discussion ooF. Shut up and stay out of it.

Who are you to say that the only pro of religion is comfort rawrskey? Religion helps people to determine their place in the universe, to gain a sense of purpose, to form bonds with other people, and much good has been done because of it. The deep moral convictions of the religious were a major factor in the abolition movement that abolished slavery in America, and religious institutions, like the Salvation Army, contribute to making peoples lives better in many ways.

Francis. Your logic is flawed. From a sciencific standpoint, the only needed explination for our existance is avalable. We have a pretty good idea of how the universe formed from the Big Bang, and evolution tells us how humans came to be. No supernatural forces are needed to explain it all.

Furthermore, you claim that God is everything without any supporting evidence of this, or that God does, in fact, exist. There is no hard evidence that the events of the Bible are true, or that Jesus even existed. Some events of the Bible can be proved false. The story of Noah's flood, for example, is based on a large flood in the middle eastern region several thousand years ago.


What do I believe? I'm not telling. I just like arguing with people.

[Francis]

I shall counter your argument against my argument...

[Kefka]

Personally, I agree with you totally. But I like playing the devil's advocate.

Allow me to re-butt. I am going to assume that by "religion" you mean Christianity, since many of your statements are usually onces made about christians and not usually towards other religions. I aplogize if my assumption is incorrect.
