Religion & Spirituality - 9 September 2007

They are very similar. Both the Bible and Quran tell them to stone people. Both can be extremely intolerant....ironically towards eachother. Both enjoy condemning people who are not of their faith and don't see how dangerous it is to have that "belief". Both view eachother as terrorists, terrorizing their country. Both think everyone in the world should convert to their beliefs. Both have messengers who i think are half brothers or possibly distant cousins. If they are family, its no wonder they can't stand each other.

Are they basically the same kind of people, possibly related?

ONE OF THE REASONS i BECAME A ATHEIST IS BECAUSE OF THE FLEECING OF THE FLOCK.
The stupid preacher would quote Malachi.
You know, where it states you will be cursed with a curse if you don't tithe.
Well, I researched that passage and found out it was talking about the priests.not the people offering.
Your religion makes things up to get your money.
Why, oh why, do you give your blood ,money to your church.
I want answers!
I want to know.

I became an atheist at 21. I heard that most religous people snap out of their hypnosis either in their teens or in their twenties. If a person is going to awaken from religion, would it have happened by the time they reach 30 if it is going to happen at all? Or is there still hope?

The metaphorical or pantheistic God of the physicists is light years away from the interventionist, miracle wreaking, thought-reading, sin-punishing, prayer-answering God of the Bible, of priests, mullahs, and rabbis, and or ordinary language. Deliberately confusing the two is, in my opinion, an act intellectual high treason.

here is the definition of faith

"n a) belief and trust in and loyalty to God; belief in the traditional doctrines of a religion b) firm belief in something for which there is no proof; complete trust"

I just don't understand how someone can put all their trust into something that has no evidence to support it. Maybe you can help me out on understanding this?

you are a hypocrite if you go to Church.
I know enough about your religion, which states in your bible, you are the church, not the building.
Why do you not follow your religion?
Stay tuned for another edition of atheism beats Christianity again

Why do all the Religious Freaks claimed that they hold the key to the truth when none can even tell you how big is the universe of what lies beyond it. Will a space craft travelling in a straight path eventually hit the edge of the Universe and goes Toink! Then discover that we are actually balanced in an Amoeba on the proverbial tortoise shell stacked upon tortoise after tortoise after tortoise.........

Religion is classified as a theory. It is not factual and has not been proven to be correct. It is fine to assume certain things in life are factual, but religion has never been shown to be correct. It is also fine to believe in something even if its existance hasn't been proven, but since religion is so far fetched and silly, why bother?

I know some of you feel that you need religion in your lives to continue to live, but that is all in your head. Just like nicotine. A cigarette smoker may feel that he needs cigarettes to go throughout the day, but in reality, it is all in his head. I guess you could say that religion is just a nasty addiction.

I'm 34 years old and I converted to Judaism when I was 20 (Orthodox conversion from the RCC Beth Din in LA). I became interested in Judaism when I was 18 and studied for 2 years to convert when I was 20. I practiced Judaism for 8 years and then left the faith when I was 28. At this point, I still believe in Hashem as G-d, but I don't want to follow all the laws that Jews have to follow. Is there any chance that the Beth Din can make a non-Jew again so that I only have to follow the 7 Noahide Laws? A rabbi asked said it was unlikely they would annul the conversion because of the length of time I practiced Judaism after my conversion. What do you guys think? Thanks,
Luke

I mean, isn't there a point where you have to say, "It just makes logical sense, and there is sufficient evidence?"

I mean you can't prove that the next time you drop a rock that it is going to fall down. It could fall straight up. But although gravity is just a "theory" shouldn't we be able to look at it as a fact, seeing as all evidence suggests that it will fall down?

And anyway... God is a giant Mr. Potato Head that lives in an onion outside the universe. He has a room full of eggs and we are all inside of one of them. Can you prove me wrong?

I mean... at what point can we allow ourselves to accept things that make sense, and that seem to properly fit the puzzle?
