Faith is not truth. And the truth is unknowable.

I mean I hear atheists say that atheism isn't a religion so why do they still post in the RELIGION AND SPRITUALITY section?

Should they be allowed to? What they mostly do is attack other beliefs.

Just kidding. a lot of people who are familiar with buddhism say that buddhist are very peacful and loving and christians are more concerned about materialism and power and that's why they are always in positions of power in first world countries eventhough jesus in the gospels had a lot of parables saying how rich and powerful are corrupt.

The Bible tells us that we are all conceived and born with sin in the flesh which condemns us to hell. The Bible states that as by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin passed to all men. Our living morally upright lives and doing good works does not address the problem of condemnation which we have all inherited as Jesus said clearly to Nicodemus that we must be born again. Why in your opinion does the mainstream Churches of today fail to address this issue from the pulpit and warn people that its their inner condition which ultimately results in their going to hell and that their good works can't save them. Some Churches today appear to be nothing more than a huge social club and ignore this critical fact.

Creation argument:
The universe had a beginning.
Anything that had a beginning must have been caused by something else.
Therefore, the universe was caused by something else, and this cause was God.
Design argument:
All designs imply a designer.
There is a great design in the universe.
Therefore, there must be a Great Designer of the universe.
Moral law argument:
All men are conscious of an objective moral law.
Moral laws imply a moral Lawgiver.
Therefore, there must be a supreme moral Lawgiver.
Being argument:
Whatever perfection can be attributed to the most perfect Being possible (conceivable) must be attributed to it (otherwise it would not be the most perfect being possible).
Necessary existence is a perfection which can be attributed to the most perfect Being.
Therefore, necessary existence must be attributed to the most perfect Being. Are there more 'debatable' arguments? I'm seeking genuine answers from those of all religious faiths and spiritual backgrounds.

When atheists, agnostics, rationalists...etc... take Christians here to task over...whatever... are they really thinking in terms of the broad spectrum of Christian thought and theology? Or is evangelical fundamentalism the primary focus? And, in particular...is it American evangelical fundamentalism?

Or are your questions as often aimed at liberal or moderate Christian theology that's more focused on principles than form?

I left Christianity because of supernatural experiences I had after I asked God to take complete control over my life. These experiences were nothing like what the Bible teaches. I did not find out till later they were tied directly to Wicca. Since I became a Wiccan I feel complete and confident. My trust in God has shot through the roof and many addictions that were holding me back were lifted.

See Rich's answer at the bottom of the page.

In response, let me say that I choose to question the belief systems of Theists because they have control over the institutions of the world. These belief systems are irrational, intolerant and are used for political gain by self-righteous hypocrites who use their position as 'holy man' to gain power.
As a human being I have a right to not only question the acts of Theist institutions, but I also have the right to question the validity of Theist claims.
Could someone explain to me why Theists do not understand this concept? Do you always have to pull out the old tired 'he must be mad at god' nonsense? I do not believe in a god because there is zero evidence of one and all evidence of a god creating the world seems to be leaning in the exact opposite direction.

In the "old days", things were taught with story-telling. They didn't even have
basic knowledge of things like gravity. The Earth's magnetic core pulling
everything to the center of our planet, so we don't fly off into space.
Today, we have the knowledge of the Universe!

if you enter a phrase on Babelfish
and then translate it into another language
and then another
then translate it back into english.............
you get a completely different sentence!!!

Well that is what has happened to the Bible!!

does this mean the godbotherers are following the teachings
of a book of complete nonsense??


I`m sure it was as a very good book of advice
(a couple of thousand years ago)

but so was Mrs Beetons cookbook..........

If you reap what you sow, then in religious superiority you will reap the same emotion that you plant in others, with your selfish idea of being better or in a better situation than those that do not share your beliefs?
