I'm following some anon advice.

Quote:

your never going to win this argument with those on here who create threads about Christians just to have something to argue about.


Just to have something to argue about? This ideology has continually tried to force itself upon all of us for nearly two thousand years, and still does; in my supposedly advanced nation religion still has a firm grip on society, politics (COMPLETELY undemocratically) and worst of all, education.

Why do you think it's generally Christianity and Islam I criticise? Why not Zoroastrianism, Buddhism etc, or the gods like Apollo, Horus etc? Because Christianity and Islam are the two which constantly try to bully their way into every aspect of life.

There's nothing wrong with challenging this oppression.

they want you to explain the exists of God in non religious terms. it would be like telling an atheist. why don't you explain yourself in the spiritual realm.

No, it absolutely would not.

"Non religious terms" in this context is essentially synonymous with "terms which actually make some kind of sense". The religious keep saying how the usual rules of logic and science don't apply here. How convenient. You say you're above the rules that're applied to everything else, and that's it, game over. The sad part is, every atheist knows that if some palpable proof of, say, Jesus' life and divinity finally showed up, Christians would raise the roof.

that's why I'm staying out of it. figure the more they start these topics if people just ignored them they'd stop.

When Christianity (and Islam) has the decency to keep itself to itself for the first time in history, I probably won't be bothered enough to challenge it.

Altzan wrote on Sat, 13 June 2009 21:01

I'm glad for the opportunity to 'spar' with others whose views are different than mine. But I saw no reason to believe God doesn't exist

...and once again we're back to my question: what reason do you have to believe Horus or Apollo or Zeus or Shiva don't exist? Furthermore, what reason do you have to believe that the "last revelation" (Islam) didn't actually come from your god? You'd better be sure about that, because if it genuinely did come from your god - as it claims to - one would think you should pay attention.

Altzan wrote on Sat, 13 June 2009 21:01

I know he exists. And for those mouths opening to say "how?" - No. Nothing I say will affect you, that's plain and obvious.

You say this as if it says something about us, rather than you. We're back in 'hopeless case' territory, I think.

I don't give a damn for the misinterpretations sure to follow this message - "hah, we atheists sure showed him" "he's crazy" "he's giving up" "we win" - because they don't matter. What matters is what happens after we pass on. And those statements will be brought up in Judgement.

Do you give a damn for my statements that you simply don't know right from wrong? You haven't exactly debunked that by saying "all that matters is the afterlife"...

Altzan wrote on Sat, 13 June 2009 21:01

And if there is no Judgement? No afterlife? ...then I'm good, as are you all. We'll all go to the same place.

Will you be 'good'? You'll have missed a great deal of opportunity. All that time praying when you could've been doing something either productive or enjoyable. All those prohibitions against non-crimes.

Altzan wrote on Sat, 13 June 2009 21:01

And if there's a different god in power? ...we'll all go to the same place.

Well done on finally noticing this part, but you seem oddly unmoved by it.

Altzan wrote on Sat, 13 June 2009 21:01

I hope that those who are looking for answers to the big questions eventually find them.

Me too, though it'd be nice if scientific study wasn't opposed by religion at almost every turn.
