"I'm not hurting anyone"...that's what you guys all say as you go about your politicking in your attempt to inflict your religious values on everybody else through legislation.

As a child people believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus, as adults, they just can't get past that one last barrier.

When you look at Mount Rushmore with the Presidents' faces in it you can say "wow, that's amazing that errosion from the wind and water carved out faces on that mountain" Errosion is a scientific fact and would it be possible for errosion to leave faces on a mountain...sure, but is it the more likely conclusion? Probably not - I believe an intelligent designer carved our mount Rushmore.
Is it possible that one day there was nothing but a pool of elements then one day something spontaneously started living there? Maybe...but is it more likely that life was crafted by intelligent hand? I think so.

How do you know that we believe in a fiction and you don't?
You can't even prove that we exist... maybe all of us are just part of your imagination... :)
Do you really think you know the truth?
First think in your own reality, try to find your answers and then maybe you will be able to make a more complete question.
Yes... and some persons believe in the power of crystals, others on the aromas, others business for wealth, other in family, others die for their principles, others save lives. Those are free persons that choose in what to believe in order to have a better life. And I'm sure you respect freedom...

Programmed? By whom? Who are you to say that? Over 75% of the world believes in a higher power. Are you saying they are all wrong and you are right? How can you prove that the Bible is Fiction? Why do you believe that?

Don't you know you've been programmed to be an asshole? Why do you care what I believe? My religion gives me hope and helps me to lead a better life. I am not hurting, bothering, or offending anyone - unlike you.

No, I don't know that. I was once programmed to believe that this life is hell and I was destined to be the firekeeper in this hell. Now, I know differently. God does not dictate my beliefs or decisions... I do. I choose to believe in He who loves me, He who by mercy gave me grace and hope. He who died for my salvation. He who wishes all man to spend eternity with Him, in His presence. If that's being programmed, it's the best programming I've ever been through. Amen

Huh....programmed, by a society that believes 'religion is the opiate of the masses' type thing? No. It is an indidual and personal occurence. Hence the phrase "Born Again" , meaning you have had something shown to you and opened up to you that makes you gain faith. I cannot deny that that little twinkle up in the night sky is a star like our sun, just because it isn't big and shiny. Something gave me a different view....a telescopic/spectographic analysis

Tell me something...?
What is wrong with loving God, putting Him first in my life?
What is wrong with loving one another as we have been commanded to do?
I'd rather live life, thinking and knowing there is a living God and die to find out I was wrong...than to live like there isn't one to die and find out...there is and I'm wrong.
Even when you choose not to believe, the living God still loves you and pursues you for a relationship.
I've walked the secular walk of life and I was dead...I am alive and live in freedom (the truth will set you free)!

Faith isn't a program. Perhaps, if it is program, Why you didn't explain so to us? Come on, open our eyes, give us all the proves you have and free us from this "matrix" of fiction, "you all mighty"
Until then for me Jesus is my saviour.

I'm christian and personally I don't believe it. What religion are you that you can go around saying others are wrong? Were you there back then? You'd best leave this one alone.
