#421Originally posted by Dark HorseIf with religion you mean belief system, your belief system is your religion. Again, it matters not what it is. You believe in it, you are loyal to it, would defend it, and yet have no proof of it, other than that, at one point or another, you chose to believe in it. Self-hypnosis. What if there were a snapping of fingers that broke the hypnosis?Comment -

I couldn't agree more. Now instead of taking authority as the truth, rather make truth the authority.Last edited by losturmarbles; 11-26-10, 03:40 PM.Comment -

#429Please explain why God created man. For fellowship? To be heirs to the Kingdom of heaven? What's the purpose of life on earth? To weed out the bad humans? Why is it the only ones that God approves to join him are those who praise and worship him? To say that God didn't create man in order to be praised, leaves one to believe God created man to punish and torture. If you believe the Bible, then it's either one or the other, or both.
Jesus knew what he was doing. He instigated the conflicts at the temple. And he was clearly guilty of being politically seditious against Roman authority. He was arrested and punished for sedition, not blasphemy as the gospels suggest. The gospels try to smooth over Jesus' political mission and even make out like Pontius Pilate was reluctant to punish Jesus ...a crock of bullshit.

#432As an objective Atheist I always try to look at both sides of every argument. Here's a video that does a very good job representing the "reality" of God.

#437I can't believe this thread is still alive!
It's irrelevant to debate 'faith'. People almost never challenge their faith. It just doesn't happen much... But I suppose if that helps you get through the day, it's all good. It's not a bad thing to believe in crazy things to help you get through the day, either way your crap stinks and you're going to die anyway. Why should it matter? What, you wanna be right? What if you're wrong? What if any of us is wrong? Why not fight for what matters - just being and being alive. It doesn't matter anyway... We're all crazy.
I don't like the religious battle against 'non-believers' and the perversion of their own scriptures for political or monetary gain - although, that corruption will never die with the current climate. Seriously, religion/faith is one of the biggest $ makers in the world - just like 'pop self help psychology nits' like Dr Phil or Oprah, etc. What is the difference? Both talk crazy stories and they get paid off of their consumers. Imagine an 'athiest' brainiac micro biologist being President in the US. Imagine someone that watches evolution in the lab every day making decisions for people? O M F G. Yes, they'd still be bought/sold by interests that helped them get elected. What would change? Nothing. See why religious or non religious affiliation is meaningless, at least in leadership?
I am loving the new breed of quasi-athiests that are not afraid to look upon people of 'faith' as 'insane'. It's something that is long overdue and very fair. Wow, you believe in something. I believe I will wake up tommorrow and my poo is going to stink really bad. Is that good enough for <insert Deity>? I will not forget every slighted comment or slight of my character because I didn't go to church or believe what 'everyone else does'. Didn't leaving high school make all that irrelevant? Why would you want to put yourself into a group to make yourself stronger rather than challenging something that literally amounts to 0 in your LIVING human form? I think that's cowardly and un-human. Although, most humans want to do that, because they are wusses. People that DO NOT judge and believe are as respectable as people that don't believe and keep it to themselves, IMO. Even though there's an asston of corrupt churches in the world - there ARE some that do follow what they preach and survive only to help people with impossible issues on many levels (including charity).
Meh, the labels for religion are kinda bullshit anyway. It's like arguing which science is 'best' amongst scientists.
I really like what Stephen Hawking had to say on the topic - the search for science makes 'religion' irrelevant.
The big question faith or science gives no answer to is if there is something bigger out there, then how did that come to be? How can me even typing this crap even exist? And if it was God that made it happen, then how did God come to be?
I just think faith is pointless and scienctific effort to make scientific effort to find the truth pointless - there's still a MUCH larger question.
I'd rather waste my time not thinking about it and focus on doing crap that makes me happy - the clock is ticking.Comment -

#438you have to feel sorry for peope that are religious. the sad part is that every human being in the world knows it is just a money making scheme that a bunch of unemployed old europeans invented and went to africa to exploit citizen there because they didn't understand the scientfic explanation of thunder for example and were told by these unemployed europeans that it was some god making the noise and they shelled out their cash for some kind of religious protection. this is a vague explanation but explotation of the ignorant masses spearheaded the drive to spread christianity in order to get their cash or gold or whatever. it is the same today especially the greedy no good catholics who actually have a tithe wall so people are shamed into giving 10 pct of their income to these no good charlatans so their name will be on the tithe wall. what a scam. they should all be arrested for fraud. especially that pope who looks like an ex gym teacher and has no personality.Comment -

#441This statement is incredibly confusing. Granted... most gamblers LOSE and maybe even half of them are Atheists at most... but what percentage of Professional Gamblers do you think believe in God? I can assure you that the majority of Professional Poker players are Atheists. That's just for starters. If you're relying on Reason and Logic which is paramount when it comes to gambling... it helps to be an Atheist if you want to have any chance of winning. If you're not relying on Reason and Logic you will not win in the long run no matter how much you think god loves you.Comment -

#443Question--Is the torah the old testament jesus was making reference to?
I ask because I came across this-
Talmud: Erubin 21b (Soncino edition): “My son, be more careful in the observance of the words of the Scribes (Talmud) than in the words of the Torah (Old Testament).”Comment -
