Religion? Grow up

Was i telling a fictional lie with my explanation. Or was i right on target. That's whats important.

That's gives us a good baseline for future posts from you. And your credibility.

Don't you hate it when people call you on your fictions though?

No i dont. I care if they can tell me if i am wrong about what i say. So i can learn something new. Who i am is not important.

So spouting disinformation is okay by you? You're right, who you are is not important. Lying, however, is an issue, IMHO.

The only mistake i made was telling you that i read specific topics. Your mistake is that you don't.

You lied. Is that a mistake under your ethical paradigm or not?

I lied!!! That is accusation made up by you. Am i suppose to do anything about it!

You can judge me just like you want. That is your right. But you will never know the truth lol. Because you dont pay attention.

I'm simply pointing out what you said. I know I'll get little truth out of you. You don't seem to have good grip on reality, so may I just say, "You have a nice life, you hear?"

Huh? Have you even looked at other religions prior to the rise of Christianity and Islam? All i got to say is Hinduism, read about it and read some more. Flying chariots, floating disks, it's so good you can't make it up especially back in those days. As a matter of fact, the timescale of hinduism is so close to real thing that scientist dismiss it a coincidence i remember watching the holy Carl Sagan brushing it off as coincidental and there is no such thing as coincidence.

Sorta like when when the Mongolian fleet was sunk at sea TWICE while waiting to invade Japan, the birth of the divine wind. Once can be sorta coincidental but twice? Heh..

Why don't you read some more and catch my lie. I do say more a lot more. The evidence are there you just have to pay attention.

How many clues do i have to give you.

So what I hear you saying is you reject the Lord Jesus Christ as devine, based on...

1) The nation of Israel never were slaves to Egypt...
2) The nation of Israel never wondered for fourty yrs...
3) The Lord Jesus stole his doctrine from others...
4) The tooth fairy and boogie man have equivalent evidence...

?????????

Well that clears things up

OT thinks you can do better...

You care to refute those points?

Again here is a definition of religion (leaving the aspect of God definitions out):




Almost anything can fit into this definition, including atheism.

Once an individual leaves off labels...I am a Christian, I am an atheist, Buddhist, etc. then one may actually not be boxed, or considered religious in the true sense of the word.


I know many atheists - some family members who promote their beliefs just as much as I formerly did when I was a Christian.


I wrote this on a former post and it bears repeating:

The atheist’s use their guru's to back them up also. As a matter of fact, it is always humorous to me when I hear a Dawkins follower. Very easy on ATS! I have read his book, "The God Delusion" and find all his parishioners doing the Dawkins talk.

As a matter of fact; he is called Pope Dawkins by many, for a reason. He said in his book...



Now, isn't that a piece of evangelism????

I am anti-religion of ALL sorts. He is doing an evangelizing work that he feels is important, probably not realizing that he is no different than those of the Christian faiths he criticizes.

If we really are evolving into a smarter race then you need to realise that you dont know anything.

False premise.

As a Christian, I'm anti-religion too. But I don't think most people really understand the truth behind that kind of statement. They lable, they name, they attempt to box the truths they know.
Think outside the box.

It is interesting how Dawkins is in support of camps for children where they are encouraged to leave behind the belief in a God. Reminds me of the Jesus Camps that brain wash the children to be zealots in the name of God!

How about not doing either? What a concept! Most prefer the box.

This thread was really good. I learned a lot. The debate remained very civil. I am glad I do not think I saw one single post removed or edited by a moderator!

I was throwing stars into posts like Shaq throws brix from the baseline. Not on the basis of if they agreed with my own personal beliefs but on how good of an argument they presented.

Thanks a lot yall. I read every post.
