I see posts on here from, primarily, four groups:
(1) angry or sarcastic atheists (the sarcastic ones are funnier)
(2) fundies (fundamentalist Christians)
(3) Muslims (the most polite of the bunch), and
(4) Roman Catholics (close runner-up to the Muslims)

So where are all the agnostics? It'd be nice to see someone around here who's willing to admit that he may be wrong....

Prayer in the government run schools takes away the parental initiative. Why do some Christians want to abdicate their parental responsibilities and have the schools do the job they should do at home? Why do they want to force it on other parents and kids?

You've been wounded on the battlefield. The enemy will find you in a matter of minutes. Your comrades have all fled. If the enemy capture you, they will torture you to death in some horrible ways, because they always do that to people they capture. You have a gun with one bullet left. Would you use it on yourself?

If it is so called "punishment" what do you learn from being tormented for eternity? It's like an inhumane prison. Why would the christian god send people to torment, he is all powerful. why did he not make hell like a prison; humane but a duration of time where you could go to reconcile for what you've done?

Yes, it's true! Mormons (the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints) don't practice plural marriages any more. However, break-off sects do. Is this news to you or did you know it before?

Has anybody feel like God isn't there? I am currently dealing with depression.. and don't know how to ask God for help. I really haven't had a long/strong relationship with God.. Any advice?

seems that the world is not turning away from god, in fact that the world is steeped in radical and irrational "godism."
is there a correlation between belief and god to a radical point and the deaths of those that may have different beliefs? would this not more closely resemble falling apart?
just curious.
before the insults come, i am not a hedonistic satan loving god hater. i will refrain from profession of belief for the question's sake.

This subject is a bit of a touchy one. Should (although hypothetically) all religious or supernatural beliefs be destroied? Most religions cause problems, even wars. Could it create peace? More problems? Don't bring up one religion in specific. Please.

If you use the scientology episode as part of the debate, keep in mind South Park doesn't regard scientology as a religion so I don't think it would count in this regard. But if you are a strong believer, go for it :)

A Muslim just asked me this amazingly stupid question...in fact...at the moment I cant think of a dumber question ever asked.

Almost all armed conflict today is Islamic. This is not an exagerration, its a hardcore fact. This alone is reason enough, but by no means the only reason.

Islam has literally always been creating war. Understand what I mean here...I dont mean Muslims have always been at war, because this doesnt necessarily connect the idealogy to the murder. Im sure there were many Nazis who did wrong outside the influence of Nazism, like an SS man who rape a German woman.

Im speaking about Jihad or murder done out of the belief that it serves Allah. The Arab Muslim Invasions of India (note the word INVASION) was entirely a Jihadist endeavor. The reason why Muslims INVADED non-muslim lands and murdered the more humans than any other people in all of history is because they believed in their religious mandate. READ ABOUT IT.

I have read that Muslims are to face in the direction of the Kaaba shrine at Mecca when praying.

If a Muslim is standing on the surface of another planet, I assume he would coordinate his prayers to the times of local solar exposures. Would he prostrate himself on the planetary surface, or would he look to the planet's sky in an attempt to focus on the planet Earth, where the Kaaba is located?

How can he Be his own father!
And I've read the Bible and nowhere does it say that he said he was God. He even called out to his Father on the cross!

You've racked up 2,000 years of being wrong with amazing consistency.

At this point, even if something happened, it would seem anti-climactic.

You claim that Jesus warned you about the 'future' but neglected to mention everything else that was going to happen along the way, like Christianity actually taking over Rome.

That's unbelievably ridiculous.
