Some of this stuff besides is hard to discuss with a straight face, can we all agree with that? In a natural world with no signs of a supreme overlord's touch, you can't expect people to treat issues of fairy tales and fantasy with the kind of respect and fairness they would an opinion that could actually be tangibly grounded and identified.
Some of us are watching blu-rays on our mega flat screen TVs while others appear to be listening to their programs on the fireside radio. Best way I could underscore where religion has left us from a social and scientific perspective, with a progressive and regressive side pushing and pulling.
Yes that's exactly what we have to do until religion recedes from public life and merely becomes something people can do if they really want to as long as its in the privacy of their own home and the rest of us don't have to hear anything about it.
Unless you are into stamp collecting when was the last time you heard anything mentioned about stamp collecting on the news, in the paper etc etc? Never. People do it and that's fine if they get something out of it. Personally I don't have any interest in it and that's fine as well. Each to their own.
The difference is you don't have the media, government and the law bending over backwards to force stamp collecting down everyone's throats.
One of the reasons religion has managed to last so long as that it has created and enforced the social taboo that ALL religious views should be respected. This taboo needs to be broken IMHO as it has no rationality behind it. Just because someone thnks something does not, in itself, then make it worthy of respect.
To be consistant, people have every right to take the micky out of atheists.
@Dragonpol it's not your fault either just revealing my feelings and hope they kind of do its a shame really looking forward to the thread and people had to ruin it like it seems has been happening on most threads on here ok officially gone for good now
Why are the religious so scared to enter into a debate?
Thank goodness people like Darwin and Copernicus stuck to their guns rather than withdrawing from the debate. (plus obvioulsy they had some evidence)
Dawkins gets death threats regularly but he remains in the heart of the debate rather than withdrawing. Rushdie had a fatwar over his head and never apologised.
I'm the Last Man Standing on my side so make of that what you will.
Exactly, the pathetic freedom of religion defense. The same supremely religious people who have no problem denying gay rights in the name of their precious faith would be picketing and burning down the Congressional building if a law dared to dictate how Christians could marry or practice their form of happiness.
And that's why it's all a gigantic crock. It's telling when some of the religious are more anal (forgive the pun) about sex than sex addicts, and are invested in the LGBT community's simple search for equality and happiness in a way that matches the determination of advocates and protesters who fight to stop them from blockading progress.
I feel I must leave the forum too.
But don't you see! You have all the answers because you believe.
All we're asking is for you to help us take the step to belief that you did, because presumably you based that decision on something didn't you?
Explain to us your reasoning as it would be far nicer to be able to think I'll go to heaven with all my loved ones rather than rot in a hole in the ground.
Yes, I should have listened!
What did you expect?
Everyone to treat your beliefs with kid gloves because that's what you've been used to all your life?
Sorry the cat's out of the bag and we aren't to afraid to call this garbage out for what it is any longer.
I also find this painting yourselves as victims being cruelly taunted by us evil atheists pretty nauseous.
The religious are used to having everything their own way and they really don't like it now that people are starting to question them.
Yes, but it's boring.
But you don't argue do you.
Please bring some cogent arguments to the table. That's all we are asking.
Another story of how Religion helps orphans, I wonder why a loving god, would
set this in motion
Don't question his masterplan. We can't ever hope to understand his mysterious ways of slaughtering the innocent.
Just have faith can't you instead of nitpicking all the time.
Well my wife hates football but she has to put up with it on the TV, in the news, on facebook and in the papers 24 hours a day. How does she tolerate something she hates so much? Well, she simply has to ignore it and concentrate on things she loves.
What she doesn't do is go on a discussion forum and bang on about it.
So, I would say, live and let live. No one has converted you to Christianity (what do you do at Christmas?) so no damage done. Happy days.
As for Biblical claims don't worry they have been pretty much all debunked from the story of the Genesis to the events of the Gospels. So you don't need to stress about these.
