HAPPY ZOMBIE JESUS DAY

[Hossaim]

It's simple,

Christianity is the blind belief in something we have no proof for
Atheism is the blind disbelief in something we have no proof against

I prefer the more proactive side, cause if I die as a Christian and it not true I havent lost anything, but if I'm an atheist and Christianity is true, then wow am I screwed

That is a somewhat sensible comment that I somewhat agree with. Note, I don't follow Christianity just so I can be saved from the fires of damnation.

It is just about the same principle, I forgot who came up with, that states:
If I do not believe in God and I have lived a Good life, then I will go to heaven
If I do not believe in God and I have lived an Evil life, then I will go to hell
If I believe in God and I have lived a Good life, I will go to heaven
If I believe in God and I have lived an Evil life, I will go to hell

But Heaven and Hell both don't exists so what's the point.

[The Akkadian Empire]

So you have evidence that the "Big Bang" wasn't created by God, and you fully understand and know how it worked and formed everything leading up to Homo Sapiens and beyond?

No, again, you don't. Yet you seem to have faith in science then in God.

You don't win anything except your attempts at ruining other peoples days, good job, you must be proud.

The faith in science line? Really? You must be desperate.

Desperate for what? Is this some kind of game that I am trying to win?

No, because that is the truth. If you will not prove the entire Big Bang just as we Christians are expected to prove Gods creation, then do not play this game with me and the rest of my fellows. Because that, friend, is ignorance.

Pascal's Wager is literally the laughing stock of the philosophical and religious debate community.

[Renascibilitas]

Unless one of the thousands of other religions(most older than Christianity) in the world turn out to be true. Then you're screwed either way.

But at least I don't hate all religions, so I'm less screwed than the atheist who hates that religion.

I don't think God is going to say, ''Well, you weren't the right religion, but you didn't hate us, so come on in!''

Can you cite one religion that teaches that?

Original Covenant -> Noah's Covenant -> Abraham's Covenant -> Mosaic Covenant (Judaism) -> Christ's Covenant (Christianity).
Seems like the whole God thing is pretty much older than anything else, but point taken.

Agreed, there are many unknowns on this Earth, physics can't prove everything

Physics don't prove anything. It's observations about the universe that proves physics, because those physics are what created... everything.

[Rupudska]

You know, the Pope is starting to become the Hi[Godwin'd] of religious discussions.

I don't care for anything like that. The Pope and the church have done nothing good for society. The Vatican has their expensive palaces and buildings, the Pope has his fine-tailored red shoes and mitre. Meanwhile people are suffering because of what they've said.

I'm not saying you care. I'm simply pointing out something I've noticed. No matter what religion a discussion thread starts out talking about, the Pope somehow gets brought up.

except youve lost your free will, dignity, intelligence, etc.

..........

Have you actually met any Christians?

Tell you what. Get your fat pimply ass off your computer seat and go out into the actual world. Talk to real people.

Then come back here.

Except we never claim that. It works though. You know that computer you're using? Physics. Not God. PHYSICS.

[Genivaria]

So you have evidence that the "Big Bang" wasn't created by God, and you fully understand and know how it worked and formed everything leading up to Homo Sapiens and beyond?

Never said that. There is no evidence God exists. Unlike you, I can admit that I DO NOT KNOW. Here's the thing: I don't pretend to know by inserting something that I have no evidence for. I just explained events from the formation of the universe to humans.

If I was given undeniable proof that a "God" exists. I would become a believer. I would change my mind there.
How many theists can say the same?

Thanks for sharing?

I do not follow "Pascal's Wager", so thanks for enlightening me. Perhaps now you will tell me that Shakesphere did not write any of his plays and was a fraud, or something else that has no burden on me?

I mentioned it because of priority. If you want to stop murders, go for the biggest ones instead of some obscure militia in Central Africa.

I can't wait to meet a species of aliens that have unlocked the secrets of the universe.

But who made physics happen, everything comes from something, but how was that something created.

If I was given undeniable proof that God does not exist, I would revoke my faith in God and change my mind?

Yes, but I daresay that there is no possibility of that happening. So your point is moot.

[Drouga]

You people want to talk about logic?

Lack of evidence = something does not exist (this is true for everything not just religion. What if justice trials were just taken of faith?)

Lack of evidence that something does not exist =/= something exists (this is why most people do not believe in bigfoot, lock ness monster, etc. so, yes. God is a cryptid.)

[Genivaria]

In the context of that sentence, a much more appropriate word would be 'hypocrisy'.
And actually there IS evidence which supports the Big Bang theory.
If you've passed high school science class then you've seen it at least once.

Yes because the pope is the leader of the largest single religious community.

[Renascibilitas]

Except we never claim that. It works though. You know that computer you're using? Physics. Not God. PHYSICS.

It's funny because the same argument you're using to try and prove God exist can also be used to prove he doesn't.

[Mavorpen]

What you described is Pascal's Wager.

I don't like Shakespeare.

See! Everyone always bring sup the Pope

[Soviet Canuckistan]

How does this have anything to do with Easter?

[The Akkadian Empire]

But Heaven and Hell both don't exists so what's the point.

Quite simply it is better to live a life of Good than Evil, Faithful to a God or not.

[Fedeledland]

More physics.
