Why do we sit here and argue like any of us actually know the answers?

Question

Atheists and theists: just admit once and for all that none of us know anything about God or the lack there of, so that we can all move forward with humanity and put our efforts into larger endeavors.

Answer 1

Because I know everything!

Answer 2

Right on, another person who actually has their eyes open. How much trouble has been caused by those crazy religious freaks, fighting with the stubborn close minded atheists? Neither side will ever be able to prove that god exists, or he doesn't. And even if say we found some sort of undeniable proof that we evolved from a primordial goo, religious groups still wouldn't believe it. And no atheists is going to believe a crying statue of Mary is a sign from god. Why don't they teach the "live and let live" rule in schools and churchs?

Answer 3

When life eventually gives you a problem that your mind can't handle, you will realize that some of us actually do know what we're talking about. I would prefer you never learn what I'm talking about. But if you ever do learn the difference between right and wrong, you will understand why it is called a curse. I have heard that a child demands justice, being confident in his innocence, but an adult begs for mercy, being sure of his guilt. You may be confusing these four words; facts, knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.

But ok, I could be wrong too...

Answer 4

So here in lies the real truth-I am up here because I see the most beautiful thing in my life being lost to the madness that religions have created-Our Mother Earth-and it is this continual Hate caused by "I am saved" attitude that is killing the planet-I am considerably well read have studied numerous religions-cultures-and volunteered numerous hours-not to offend but to learn on how to improve-because it is my hope to leave this world a better place for my having been here-not to think (as religions teach) that there is a better place-and perhaps my answer to you was in response to seeing friends and relatives that have lost their lives-and limbs trying to give the world into capable hands-YOURS-if you are able to abide by the laws set forth by OUR MOTHER-and she can be one hellofaMother-but needs people to let lose of this manmade religious righteousness that is causing her to lose-and why? Because the Bible has already told these people that the world will end and so they believe

Answer 5

I don't argue.I'm more concerned about other things,like global warming and war.If there is a God,hopefully he will tell the Christians to stop waiting for him to come back,and to start helping the rest of us try to fix the problems.

Answer 6

Sure lets keep the peace, there are quite a few things I don't understand and it is frustrating trying to argue that. hah we should put our efforts into our society and do no harm to anybody.

Answer 7

I could even live with that my misguided friend but the thing is religious people are judging my personal life and denying me basic human rights cos their God said so.
I don't hate on Christean's,Muslims or any other religion but please stay out of my bedroom with your bibles and Korans.
