It goes both ways on a pissing contest. Militant Atheists and Evangelical Christians are one in the same in savage personalities. Reasons why I'd at least deal with an Agnostic more.

This is how to keep NB alive really. Besides gay threads of course.

And solo threads :axedance:

Answering big questions about the universe with "IDK god" doesn't mean you're off the hook tho

No, much on the contrary, people who criticise the idea of religion are pretty stupid. I'm agnostic, but regardless if you like it or not, religion is the backbone of society. If God's existence was somehow disproven today many, many people would pretty much just go insane and chaos would ensue from it.

That's because they weren't raised to cope with the truth. However the generation after would be perfectly okay as they would he introduced to the truth from day 1.

A world without religion seems like a lawless place. Even more lawless than this world is now that has religion in it. But not by much though.

It doesn't make you smart but it won't stop others.

People bring up Golden state blowing a 3-1 lead and that doesn't make those people any smarter.

You talk as if people would always accept having their children raised without religion regardless of how they feel about it.

I just wanna say to all you "new-athiests" who insult others over their beliefs and think your so smart, 99.9% of religious people look to religion as a source guidelines and values not a source of creation. A 3 year old can make the argument that the world is more than 6000 years old. Anyways To answer your question the way I see it is if you commit your life to helping yourself, people and the envoirnment you will inevitably forgive yourself and others for any mistakes that have been made in the past. So ya I think God can forgive Satan so to speak.

Yeah right, because you speak for 99.9% of religious people :rolleyes:. And no, a 3 year old can't do that.

Some of these "new-athiests" that insult someone over their religious beliefs don't understand what religion actually stands for at all. I see so many people in the previous thread insulting religious people, taking it word for word it boils my blood and I'm not even religious (so to speak). To clarify, religion is a fictional play that has been re-written countless times

It's not a fictional play. Lmao are you an atheist? Because you argue that insulting religion doesn't make you smart but you're insulting it in your explanation. And though it is true that the Bible and some of the other religious books have been rewritten many times, the Quran has never been rewritten/edited/changed

over the past 10,000++ years that gives people a set of values and moral guidelines. As we evolved so did our morality and that is why the book get's re-written every couple hundred years or so. The guidelines of the first few books (10,000+ years ago) probably started with "be good to your family", then the next few books they added in neighbour and so on. Even religious people don't take the books literally and the even the ones that claim they do probably only do so because they don't have the words to express what the book truly means and what it means to them. Insulting someone who can't articulate their beliefs in their moral values is very simple but very arrogant. It's like insulting a dog for not being able to talk and feeling smart about it but dogs cannot get personally offended so it makes it even more malevolent.

Lol once again, since when did you speak for all religious people?

Your thread title is true, but your explanation completely flawed and goes against your thread title.

Can you prove to me that god is real and that the earth is only 6000 years old, plus which god(S) is the real one

The fu** are you talking about? That sentence makes no sense.

We'd be here all day arguing, so I'll pass

All day?, more like the rest of eternity.

OT: Religion in the end represents the major struggle of humanity, overcoming their fears of what they really are. In the far out future man will still not be able to see the distinction between monkey and God but rather they realize that nature favors no one. You are either alive or death.

Reading that again I have no idea how you could interpret that in any other way.

But I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and break it down for ya.

You're talking about raising the next generation with the truth, which I'll assume means "without religion". However, for that to happen, we'd need to have the current generation's consent for it, as they're the ones who will be raising them, and not everyone is gonna accept raising their kids without religion.

I don't like getting into religious debates, but... if what you say is true, that religion is a "fictional play", why shouldn't it be subject to criticism and insults?

You'd also be surprised by the amount of people who do take everything literally when it comes to Holy Books. I also have doubts that the books change so drastically to adapt to our evolving morality and the same principles that were 10,000 years ago don't stand today, despite what you might think. Or maybe I'm wrong, what principles are still standing, exactly? Don't steal? Even killing people wasn't taboo back then, considering bloody rituals or whatnot. There's still religions today that do that, as well.

I'm pretty sure 99.9% of religious people would agree with me on this and I was speaking figuratively. A 5 year old probably could lol.

Each religious story has an archetypal hero (jesus) (mohammed) (buddha) that represents the cultures best interest on how to act. Everything else in between is fiction and maybe even the story itself but it doesn't take away the meaning on how we should act. And that's all people care about. People don't give a shit about the source of creation. They want to progress and live decent and meaningful lives. That's the whole point of religion. It's not a source of creation and most already know this.

Like I said even the ones that do believe or claim they do probably only do so because they don't have the words to express what the book means and what it means to them.

I am a Hindu and i dont give a shit. When I was a kid, I watched Shows like Ramayana, etc. I like those gods amd legend. Gautam Buddha, who was born in Nepal, was a hindu and left it later. I am not teaching my kids anything about Hinduism but they will still be Hindu. I'll be rich enough that they don't need to switch religion for some money(I heard some did that in my country).

Buddha was not hero. He was just normal human with strong beliefs. He was born Hindu. But he left Nepal and went to India for meditation. After meditation, he began to teach some principles. Thats all. Later his teachings were modified and made to Buddism.

So if God was disproven 100% many people wouldn't want to raise their kids without religion? How does that make sense? If God was disproven, then there are not too many ways to make people believe in him as it's been disproven. When the children go to school they would be taught the truth like they are taught 3+3=6. I don't see anyone arguing against maths and facts.
