<< Why do Christians need web sites to tell them how to defend what they believe? >>



They do? Please don't generalize the term &quot;christian&quot;. Followers of Christ should only go by the Bible.

 

[SuperTool]

I don't think religion should be a team sport. That applies to atheism.

 

[Dedpuhl]

I'm not going to argue about everything on his site.


<<If atheists are so &quot;free-thinking&quot; or whatever, then why do they need some guy with a web page telling them how to defend what they believe? >>>

I have always felt most of what the site says. I feel that Christianity uses circular logic to deduce that there is God. I use the website as a source just like xians use the &quot;babble&quot; as a source.

<<Why would you endorse a page that argues by calling everything &quot;Horse sh!t?&quot;>>>

He is calling it like he sees it. Most of the Bible, from a logical, scientific standpoint is BS. Like he says, words are words. What is the big deal about &quot;bad&quot; language?


I posted this link b/c it gives quotes by our founding fathers(and others), information about slavery, rape, murder, incest, etc in the bible, and it is very interesting to see someone who is NOT afraid to express his/her point of view.

Since Atheism isn't a religion it isn't necessary to be constrained as if it were.

finally! a religion thread NOT started by jesuslovers!

this calls for celebration!

/me drinks too much and falls over.

 

[Dedpuhl]

There are people on here that don't believe in the babble. We usually get flamed by xians and fundies when we express our point of views....

Does the name of Jesus convey special power, when used to make a point?

Why in the world would you put a link to www.godhatesfags.com in this thread?

Yes I feel the power. It suddenly went away when I took a dump. Actually, I use that phrase or &quot;jesus christ on a popsicle stick&quot; ever since I heard the Jehovah's Witness's dogma (supposedly Jesus was hung up on a stake and not a crucifix). Plus, it shocks and offends xians...

Your words:

<< Yes I feel the power. It suddenly went away when I took a dump. >>



I am curious, how is power &quot;felt&quot;?

Is power released through the bowels of an &quot;atheist&quot;?

Damn these threads are always so amusing. It's like watching two groups of people bang their heads against the wall. However, I'm glad to see a non-Shrub-is-an-idiot!-Oh-yeah?-Bore-is-a-liar! thread for a change.

Frisbeetarianism, n.:

And Jesus said unto them, &quot;And whom do you say that I am?&quot;

They replied,&quot;You are the eschatological manifestation of the ground of

And Jesus replied, &quot;What?&quot;

I've recently had the pleasure of debating religion in my English class. I have been lucky, in that in the class of 24, there are only four people who would call themselves Christians, and my teacher who is a Baptist. Voicing my opinion has been fairly easy to do without fear of offending people, but has still had enough arguement to allow me to hold a good conversation. Much unlike my Socials class of last year, with only three people out of thirty not believing in 'God.' These people consisted of my Girlfriend, another friend and myself. I found it interesting though that due to the poll of the class (on who believes in 'god'), I managed to be called evil by one of the most evil people I have ever seen. Apparently he believed in God.

The thing that bothers me the most about religion, Christianity in particular, is that its followers are all basing their faith upon a single book. A single book which was written centuries ago, and could have been written by anybody. If I was to profess myself the son of a 'God' today, people wouldn't believe me. I would probably end up being shunned from any social life I might indulge myself in. However, if I was to do the same thing, and write a book entailing my beliefs, and the reasons for them, etc., Perhaps the same thing would happen today (infact, I would expect people to think me a freak), however, in a few hundred years, when the world had forgotten that I was a crazy lunatic, might people then look at my book objectivly? If it had ideals which appealed to some, would it then become the basis of a new belief system? What?! The people would have nothing more than a book, written by some insane soul of the 21'st century! How could they know that I was the son of 'God'? All they had was a book. Though unlikely, it is possible. And it has happened. How is that any different than Christianity. Show me one fact that can prove otherwise. It is a shame though, that there is nowhere to find these facts in places other than a book...

It seems to me as though the only reason that Christianity was created was due to a fear of death. Without a soul, there is no 'afterlife.' Without an afterlife, there is no drive for Christians to keep to the teachings of their 'God.' So, you've led a good life, and held by all commandments. That's wonderful, you should feel good about youself, I know I would be a happy person having fulfilled my life by the ideals put forth in the book. What is your reward for leading that life so virtuoisly though? Now that you are dead, should you not be rewarded for your good deads? You cannot die, and simply have that be the end of you; what a scary thought. Not being reincarnated, not being sent to the heavens; simply being dead. Gone. That alone, without the fear of being sent to a 'hell' for having led a not-so-virtuous life would be enough for many people to profess to any given religion. People are scared of not having a soul - which religion offers.

I find it intriguing that when I am asked to write an essay, it is made clear that I am to site as many sources as possible, and that my information be accountable, and up to date. Were I to quote from a single book, with no known authour, which was written centuries ago, I would be told that my sources were not believable. They would not create a strong enough arguement to prove whatever point I tried to make. Why then, should the beliefs by which we lead our lives be any different?

Mr. Palco;

<<I have observed that atheists tend to be full of.....oh....never mind...>>

Another incomplete thought from those in the 'know'.

 

Jesus didn't have to write the Bible about himself. Other people saw all the stuff he did and decided it warranted some documentation. I don't think you could do that...

Don't worry UG, I'll lay off my 'pedestrian' analyzations of how archeaological discoveries continue to prove that the Bible is a authentic, reliable historical work.

Lastly, just to clear up a misconception, Christianity doesn't base salvation on what you do. It's a common misinterpretation made by people who have not read the Bible.

Hehe... Don't bring me into thi! LOL

Interesting to say the least though...

 

[NaughtyusMaximus]

<<Jesus didn't have to write the Bible about himself>>

Thats exactly my point. Who did write the Bible? Where, other than in that book, is there solid proof of his, and 'god's existance? Also, it wasn't until about 400 years after his death that people started practicing Christianity.

All I gotta say is I agree with Jesse Ventura's analysis of religion. But to each their own.
