More people died because of science then religion. I haven't heard of any war where people only attack others with their sharp faith, they usually use guns...
I couldn't care less about his name. I would be more surprized if the student was Britney Spears though...
Yes indeed, I'm gonna create a topic about the evolution subject, it's actually fascinating.
Lol, your stupidity knows no boundaries.
Are you actually comparing an person to a country?
Correct! Actually, even someone that bases his/her whole life on Empirism and Rationalism and actual since, he/she still needs to have faith on his own senses.
well funny you say what i did understand and what not, but I did understand. I guess i really never believed in religion. I just well you could say played alongoops wrong person
and the New Testament is based off of the teachings of Jesus Christ, and I'm sorry, but being raised if that's the extent of your biblical teachings that you are ignorant to many of the more philosophical and psychological meanings to many of the stories that were told because a mind as young as yours would have been could not fully understand the subtle meanings behind those stories and lessons.
And every holy text, from the Christian and Jewish Bibles to the Muslim Koran have been altered from their original words whether its through mistranslations or people in power changing them to suit their needs, which is why you shouldn't base your faith 100% on holy texts, but on your own beliefs that you have developed through the lessons in the Bible, both good and bad.
I'm a Methodist and a Youth leader in my Church, I have grown up in the same Church, but I have always been sort of a rebel, a long with the pastors son when it comes to my Christian beliefs and have always been interested in learning as much as possible about the other religions like Judaism, Islam, Shintoism, etc... because that's my way of understand my own beliefs better.
was good friends with the pastors son, until he moved though butt hurt? btw, ur talking about religion or faith? or u dont know what are u talking about?.. i personaly think u dontButt hurt? Why? For having a stick up my ass? Better then having one for a brain...
History had lots of Religious wars. And science dont kill people, people kill people
You see what you want to see, but religion has been used to control people and still is being used in the middle east, do you think that young people will bomb themselves for nothing, they are promised 60( i think that was the number but not sure) virgins in Paradaise, so do you believe that if not religious person will believe you, no matter what reasons or arguments you give him
And what is that but pure argumentation? If you explode your loins, then your get virgins. There isn't, I guess, nothing writen like that. I'm taking that basing on Bible. The most common mistake is reading Bible to literally, the same, I believe, is done with those religious texts. The things writen on those things are left for the interpretations of those who read them, in this case, some powerfull (Power) guy that preached those teachings (Argumentation) to others who aren't wise enough to reach their own interpretations... And badabadoom! a war starts.
What? No, that's not what I meant. I'm saying that I'm using my experience with the Bible and with people who interact with the Bible and applying it to the refered Religious Text. I based on the fact that texts of the kind shouldn't be taken litterally, the fact is that those books are symbolic, not scientifical.
Well, I know, but people are like sheeps if you find the right way to lead them, theyll do anything you wish, and as a matter a fact, 1.57 billion people are Muslims, do you think all of them are intellegent enough to make their own decisions and interpretations. You see, you base everything on yourself, but not everyone is smart enough or maybe have the knowledge to interpret it/
Middle east sweetie, and I didnt say anything about which religion I was referring to, but I guessed if you are smart enough to keep that discussioun you could find out the answer yourself
It's the Middle East...the only belief that entails virgins in the afterlife, in that case, a harem, is Islam O_OWell, I know, but people are like sheeps if you find the right way to lead them, theyll do anything you wish, and as a matter a fact, 1.57 billion people are Muslims, do you think all of them are intellegent enough to make their own decisions and interpretations.

In no way that goes against my previous argument. We're now reaching a point where an outsider would consider both of our definition of Religion as the Truth of the Ignorants, but that's just the manipulation part of the religion. That's the only part of religion that originates wars, and it shouldn't be considered true religion. As I said, it's just manipulation based of a very smart argumentator (if that's a word) and a very ignorant listener.
I beg your pardon, I didnt understand that :/
Nice, I have nothing else to add, but only that most of the religions themselves are created to manipulate people from very intelligent people (personal interpretation) <3
Sweetie, next time you send me an infraction I will quote you
Well, you are not in their shoes, how are you sure how they think and if they do not get offended?
Its like to tell you, you are stupid, no offence.
but anw, I have nothing against a nice discussion
Oh, so now you wanna show who are the gods here
on this Forum I am a god jkjk you really think that a religious persons only reason for being religious is their fear of death?well funny you say what i did understand and what not, but I did understand. I guess i really never believed in religion. I just well you could say played along
I also get what you are saying about altered text, but to me the text are more history than religion. back then when we did not have the understandings of the way things worked we used religion to explain. but in the 21 st century we don't need religion in the explanatory way, but some may do because they are afraid of death and that there is no after life. that all is going to end sooner or later is not an easy thought to swallow. but like Nietzsche said : god is dead. and what he meant is that there is enough technological development to understand more of the things we did not understand. I believe that if people could overcome their fear of death they would lay of religion.
Butt Hurt for insulting me with no reason, i didnt say Religion doesn't kill people, i said Science doesn't kill people
Again, in those wars, the Qur'an doesn't miraculously acquire legs and starts headbutting people. In the cruzades they used Swords, in the French wars they used canons, in the thirty years they used ships, in the taiping rebbelion they used Rice and in Islam they used pretty much anything they could get a hold on...
