What began this thread:

Religious folks need to give up.


We all know that each of our end is near; the question is do we accept the end of our living existence, or do we accept our existence as dead men...

His older then you aswell dumbass..and you fucking retard
been Mature has nothing to do with been young or old dickhead

Quote (sodr2)
QUESTION #1: excuse me? Christians love God more than everyone on this earth combined? if someone were against God, they're not my loved ones! this is perfectly reasonable. God loves us more than we can love anyone, so why would we love people who are against the one who loves me the most, more than they will ever love me? they send themselves to hell, not God, and if it's their decision, then yes it is sad, but that's what they chose. read the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. focus on your path first.
QUESTION #2: she claims God isn't all knowing because He has to double check things, and gives one example from the Bible .........honestly i havent heard that story, but it seems like nothing as its not popular........and im sorry, but I'm defending the God of the Bible not the quran.
QUESTION #3: adam and eve didn't listen to God. that very thought of disobeying Him was plausible and God WARNED them anyways...He specifically says if you eat of it, you will die.....He doesn't try to trap people by their mistakes and send them off to hell.....God made us so that we can choose Him or not, otherwise, it's just forced love.
QUESTION #4: this is a good one.....and to be honest i dont know (I dont know). but this doesn't mean anything. God is merciful and probably judges ONLY the people who never heard of Him according to their deeds, who knows...but if they go to hell, then so be it. God is --->>JUST<<---...He knows more than our finite minds, and ill try to justify it: around the time of Noah, EVERYONE was religious, so that means that there had to have been someone who rebelled against God and started their own "canabalistic tribe" or whatever and damned his children and so on
QUESTION #5: i agree that no finite crime should have an infinite punishment.....however, the slightest degree of a crime against GOD (who btw is INFINITE) deserves the most tormenting punishment. but what's the big deal???? He loves us and sacrificed Himself for our sake...He doesn't deserve it, but it was out of his LOVE...so....why not follow Him? here's the bottom line. we have souls...when we die, these souls go on forever. they have two destinies. you choose which one. yes you have finite crimes, but you can get away with it because of God's selfless sacrifice who did it for you and everyone.

When you are not up to academic like debate don't debate Nate because you make us look bad no diss intended keep it for yourself

And sodr2 you told us the biggest fallacies i ever heard i mean even the argument of that video I_Guy showed is full of fallacies in fact this whole subject of God's existence is a BIG FALLACY that's why i rather deal whit historical perspectives of religion then philosophical ones that can't NEVER be settled

First of all, all the ridiculous claims of impossible occurrences.
For example, their isn't enough water in the world for the great flood to have occurred.
Eve coming from a rib?
Tower of Babel?
Noah's Arch?
The sea parting for Moses?
...just to name a few

listen.....it doesn't matter how you feel about the notion of seas splitting, talking animals, the question is, if God exists, what then is irrational about Him simply manipulating something He create to preform a certain act? do you understand? if God existed, then who cares if He flooded the world, it would very well be plausible because all things are possible with God. you'd need to find something else to "disprove" Him.

this is what you're saying: God doesnt exist, therefore miracles and " claims of impossible occurrences" cannot exist. the bible contains " claims of impossible occurrences" therefore God doesn't exist. its circular logic

reply if you see something wrong, or please tell me another problem you see with Christianity.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SAYING. Basically someone presents a solid case against your beliefs. You basically say, "Well, this is all possible because of magic." That doesn't cut it.

And no, I don't deny the existence of a creator (although I doubt it). Although, I do deny the existence of the Bible's God. That's why I rephrased earlier. I'm saying miracles don't exist, and many things in the bible are full of holes, misunderstandings, foul judgments, arbitrary interpretation, impossible occurrences, and much to much to list.

Bottom line is, there is such a massive accumulation of vast concepts that are far beyond your grasp at this point. I'm talking about really deep shit that dig at the foundation of the bible and the motives of humans. I'm talking about the execution of communication through Linguistics and Lexicology such as Semiotics, Pragmatics, Semantics, and Syntactics, also the ideas of interpretation such as Philology, Hermeneutics, or Onomasiology, and then the methods of understanding in Epistemology seen in Perspectivism, Contextualism, Verificationism, Empiricism, Rationalism, Constructivism, Infinitism, Foundationalism, Coherentism, Skepticism, Fallibilism, Secular Universalism, Objectivism, False dichotomy, and finally, Diallelus.

Man I can't even list everything if I wanted to. There are so many vastly soaring areas of knowledge that, by there very nature, naturally challenge the bible. There are heaps of work done in psychology that are deep into the functions of the human psyche that explain how this whole religion phenomenon ever came into existence. There is a significance in History that explains how religion came to be. There are several routes that a person can take when attempting to battle religion. Each route is almost as equally effective.

I mean what do you think? All the shit above is bullshit? All that isn't even the half of it all, it's not even a quarter.

Man all I know is that when you study deep into psychology, philosophy, history, epistemology, philology, lexicology, and many other fields you will then put it all together into one simple understanding: the Bible is a joke (and our leaders believe in it = horrifying). After understanding all of this (or even some of this like I try) in a solid varying combination, you will be presented with an essential convincing overwhelming heap of realized conclusions.

There is no starting point to explain any of this to someone unwilling to learn it. It's something you need to look into yourself, for your own good.

a tower could be built but of course we are talking here about biblical exaggerations ohh and about the tower of babel it is weird how this God was afraid of us because if you read the passage it's like God was afraid of us our unity was so great we could do ANYTHING it's very crazy the psychology of God amazes me that's why i doubt his "superpowers" or the existence of it because his psychological pattern is the same as ours

that's just an article on when theolgans and historians believe they could have lived but as far as i know they've never found they're temples or anything, as far as i know there is only a small tablet that says something about King David and some other references here and there about the other kings. But i guess this could be since Israel was conqured and attacked by so many different countries and ruled by so many different kingdoms i guess that could explain why there's isn't much evidence for the kings of israels kingdom.

oh and no way did you just say that the kings of the bible didnt exist...we can trace back to each and every one, you cant just label that link as "made up" by theologians...it was made by HISTORIANS
ALSO

Quote (EmSeeD)
nah that was built by King Herod, the one built by Solomon was destroyed. and i asked for sources outside of the bible. I mean yeah i know you can't dismiss the bible records etc as being made up but there isn't much outside of the bible i don't think, i'm not too sure though maybe i'm wrong.

That IS the problem I have with Christianity. They don't look into these fields of study, which is vital to the logical understanding of the world and much in it.

And no, I'm not frustrated with someone disagreeing. It's the fact that the person disagreeing has no idea of the vast amounts of evidence against his claim. Your ignorance of these things leaves you where you are. Many Christians and other religious followers have no idea what they are up against. They have no idea what their opponents have as far as intellectual support. They only have a simple understanding of their opponent. Many Christians just think that non-theists are stubborn, or misled, or rebels, or simply can't see the light. In some cases yes, there are simple people out there that doubt god only for these reasons. But the people of true value understand alot of what I listed in the last post. And yes, those are vague fields of knowledge, but you have to explore the whole realm of those fields to get a decent credible understanding.

I have a huge problem with christianity
just the fact you act like jesus and god(does he have a name?)
have are meant to be "all loving" and caring and whatever else
yet like i said before i find it hard to believe cause look what happens
in the world. and has anyone ever noticed when theres a cyclone, flood, tsunami
earthquake etc etc it 97% of the time happens in a 3rd world country
its like god wants to kill these people or something. cause he dont
seem all that nice and loving to me. I also dislike how
you can judge people who dont believe in your religion yet you
don't take the time to think that maybe some people just aint interested
in your religion (this part isnt for sodr2, its for all religious people.who try to push there religion on people), I do believe that someone did create us i just dont believe
in god or jesus or that other junk in the bible(s)

ahem....im not using miracles as an argument! so it doesnt matter how many miracles are found in other religions, we're not arguing them....im saying that stories that "sound made up" cant be used to disprove any God, because essenetially, "god" can do anything, in any religion....besides there are two types of miracles...the second type no1 has mentioned, which are modern day miracles not found in any holy books...i have yet to show u...

Anything that is so-called "above science" = really not above anything, as it is not directly proven by scientific or EMPIRICAL eveidence.

you just think youre right, dont you? you have it in your mind that a god doesnt exist, but you havent given me one "solid argument" against my god. im not up against anything, i've heard all the arguments and there are really good answers to them, i probably just dont answer them to your satisfaction.

okay, let me try to follow your logic here (btw i don't know where you got 97% from)....

1. There is suffering in this world.
2. Therefore god doesn't exist.

God created this world initially without suffering. it was because of US that we rejected Him and are left in misery. even though Christ came for us, he didn't say that he would abolish suffering. we must carry our cross, focus on your path first
