Why do the debates over religion in this section get so heated? It just seems that this forum could be a great learning opportunity for everyone, instead people here seem really angry and hostile sometimes. What's up with that?

I want passion here. I don't want you to say yeah because I have Jesus in my heart, or only God knows. I want passion in the answer. What makes you feel you have earned enough or haven't. The answer I choose as best will not necessarily be what I believe but who show the most passion in their answer.

After several "discussions" on here, I know that many religious types hold beliefs based on nothing more than devout faith - which I'm NOT having a dig at.

I have also been told that God will give me several opportunities to see the light etc. in my life and that I may at some point in the future acquire faith.

If I came on here at some point in the future and stated that God had revealed himself to me and now believe, I'm sure these folk would be pleased, some because they genuinely care and some because they will have "won" - which seems much more important to them, sadly.

However, what if I didn't stop there, but claimed God had spoken to me? What if I claimed I brought a new message? What if I claimed that what had gone before was to help less advanced people make a civilisation and that a new truth existed? What if I claimed to be a messenger of God? A new prophet? The Messiah? The second coming?

At what point do you decide not to have faith? How do you know?

Are there better ways than using the regular shaving foam and a regular razor? pubes don't grow in the same way as facial whiskers, and they aren't impressed by the razor no matter how many times i go over them.

... and therefore nothing is true.

If the only reason you can accept a claim is by faith, then you are admitting that the claim does not stand on its own merits.” (Dan Barker)

Faith is the antithesis of rational thought. This is why so many religious leaders actively preach against rational thought and even advanced education. They realize that rational thought and education can destroy religious faith and result in fewer followers for them.

People take Gods name in vain because its natural for the Devil to fuel that hate and have people vent their anger by blaspheming the one person he despises the most. Like when somebody yells out "JC" or says "OMG". You never heard somebody say "Oh My Allah" LOLOL, or yellout MUHAMMAD!!! LMAO, or OH MY KRISHNA, lol catch my drift. which does sound alot funnier BTW, and I think probably its funnier cuz im a Christian, but I dunno

It's obvious from childrens actions that they aren't inherently "good" and must be taught the proper way to respect people, even if it means not getting their own way.

So, from this, can we deduce that children are born "evil" and must be taught that being "good" is a human desire?

The hippy rebelled against the defined 'way' in the 60's

Chavs, like 'me or hate 'em, do what they want and have a common dress code. To me, chavs create crime due to boredom and lack of opportuinity.

The chav has been created by the country and just change from hippy to punk to rudeboy to whatever over time.

On holiday we met a Turkish family. They wondered what had happened to the word 'British'. Is there no pride anymore? People say they are Scottish, English etc but not often British. Is it because of this devolution malarky? I'm still British are you?
