Why do you believe in religion?

Question

Bring up arguments that aren't debuted here.
1. Evidence for global Flood
- No evidence of global flood has ever been found.
However, large Local floods has been observed but are very common.
2. Creation needs creator
- Universe is not a creation, there has no evidence that supports that universe was a creation. It is not complex, it is just simple behaviors by atoms.
3. Young Earth
- No evidence has ever supported Young Earth or universe.
4. Religious books
- Religious books supports its own facts by saying its true. No evidence has ever shown them to be correct in every aspect.
5. Faith
- Faith is simply to trust in something without proof or evidence.
6. Prophecies
- The prophecies in any religious texts have no specific dates or anything specific. The events are repeated over and over again even before the prophecy.
7. Religious text contains science
- No religious text contains specific science of any kind. For example, the bible says earth is flat.

8. Common sense
- Common sense is a combination of experience and logistics. Most if not all religions contradicts themselves and defies logic therefore what common sense is in it?

I put some biblical facts in it and also facts that are shared with all other religions.

Biblical quote supporting earth is flat.
Matthew 4:8
(8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them) - Stating that if you are high enough, you can see all of the earth

Bible has been proven wrong many times.
Such as, the unmovable earth, the pillars supporting earth.

You have never read it because it is cut out in most of the short versions of the bibles.

Refuting ByHisGrace

1. No there isn't. There is evidence for several floods in the time frame but none of which is out of the ordinary
2. No evidence provided, Not a usable argument.
3. Plenty of evidence that earth is 4.7 Billion years old. (Scientific dating methods, Moon dust collection etc.)
4. Yes, i have a prophecy that you will breath in in the next minute.
5. Evolution is simply the change in specie through natural selection and mutation. It is observed. If you look different from your parent, you are observing evolution.
6. They do what?
7. Matthew 4:8
8. I do not have enough space to have them.
9. yes, and yet you bring up no arguments to fight them.
10. Not trying to convince you, trying to find some good argument that you have against me

I win the argument against him.

Answering Tammie
1. I never stated to know the mind of God.
2. Faith is believing without proof or evidence, I do not need Faith to know what is true.

Answer 3

Science and philosophy certainly reveal much to discredit religion. But common sense can go along way too.

Come to think of it, I can't think of single passage in the entire bible in praise of intelligence.

Lately, I've been waxing religious. There are a myriad of arguments for or against God. However, there's no direct evidence either way. To me, it's necessary to define what you mean by "God" to begin with. For most of us, that means a God defined by a religion.

And that's where the problems start . . . at least for the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam). For the remainder of this answer, any mention of "religion" means "Abrahamic religion" for short.

Religion tries to lay claim to God. This insistence on exclusivity sets up religions for contention unless or until they convert the entire world – thereby eliminating the competition. This is why, I believe, these religions await the end-time when God will finally do the eliminating.

It's a forgone conclusion that no single religion will win the world on its own. After all, they've had between 1,400 and 3,500 years (Islam and Judaism, respectively) to do so and haven't made any real progress. Christianity, with over 2 billion adherents, leads the pack but Islam, at 1.3 billion, is coming on strong (again). Despite being many centuries older than Christianity or Islam, Judaism has only 14 million adherents. If ANY religion truly is THE right one, I believe they would have made a compelling case by now -- the competition would not have survived this long.

Given all this . . . how are we supposed to decide which religion, if any, is right? The first one? The biggest one? The most sophisticated one? The most realistic one? The most human one? The strongest one? The competition reduces our choice to a roll of the dice. Why should we go to hell for choosing the wrong one? It's ridiculous. Can God really be so sadistic? And if so, why would you worship him?

No . . .

NO religion can be valid if God exists AND is good. Any entity who could create the universe, would not be so petty as to set up his "intelligent" beings for condemnation. Why would the Creator give us free choice, only to confuse the choice of Creator? I say that if God exists, ALL religions are heretical. If God is good, we wouldn't be killing each other in His name. In the paraphrased words of Stephen Roberts:

"I contend that we are both anti-religion. I just believe in one fewer religion than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible religions, you will understand why I dismiss yours."

Oh yes . . . and forget about "Original Sin". I am no more accountable for Eve than I am for Hillary Clinton or for you.

If God exists I believe he must be a cosmic God,not a personal one; a creator, not a meddler. I believe God could, or might, exist; but I'm certain that NO religion is valid.

Answer 4

Says you. Are you God? Do you presume to KNOW the mind of God? If you don't have faith to believe, God and all of the amazing things He has done for us will just be gibberish to you. The Bible will be gibberish. Until you come to know Him as your Lord and Savior, your wretched sin filled heart will not hear, nor understand. Read the Bible for all it's worth. You might learn something.

Answer 5

I believe in spirituality not religion. I believe evveryone should make their own ideas up about god and leave others alone. I believe we were created and made to evolve. I think religion is mass confusion and was never intended to be part of any gods plan

Answer 8

I believe in a relationship with Christ. He is my best friend. What scripture says that the earth is flat? I don't ever remember reading that. The Bible has never been disproved.
