[ARCHIVED DEBATE] A Civilized Debate on Religion

[Mavorpen]

So if you die, you die. I would rather believe in a god and an afterlife than believe that I'm going to rot and be a corpse. My opinion people.

That's stupid.

I have a question for the atheists which is if there is no divine being and no afterlife then what happens after you die? Just your thoughts on this subject.

Nothing about atheism necessarily prohibits the possibility of an afterlife. There could be an afterlife and no god, just as their could be a god and no afterlife. The two things are unrelated.

Of course you would prefer to never die, any organism should.

Aversion to death is what guarantees a species survival.

funny thing considering we all love wiping each other out.

I would rather believe I am rich than believe I am poor. However, my beliefs have no impact on the truth.
What drove me to atheism is simply treating religion like I would every single other aspect of life. Requiring the same proof for religious statements as I would require from eg someone I was investing my money with. What you would like to be true doesn't really matter.

"Hey, it ain't me...so lets kill him guys!"

Competition also drives survival, but we don't really need that part now

[Bosnakia]

I used to fear death. But if I do die the death of a Martyr or being a devote Muslim the key to paradise I shall gain. Jannah is so beautiful every one is rich the tempter is always perfect there are tall mountains. There is no wrong there are old family members there is the prophet (PBUH) Allah(SWT) Ali(as) and the other imams and all knowledge is known. Pleas don't fear death welcome it.I'm not saying kill yourself but at least respect it and be not afraid

[Frials]

Jesus of Nazareth was a pretty decent person. Jesus Christ however was a sociopathic massmurderer that deceived many people into believing that he, God, was loving and caring.

I don't see the difference between Jesus of Nazareth and Jesus anointed.

Jesus Christ is the same as God and Jesus of Nazareth was a historical person, a prophet and a philosopher of sorts with good morals. If God existed he would be Jesus Christ, if he doesn't he's just Jesus of Nazareth.

Pretty sure it would be possibly for God to exist and not be Jesus Christ.

Oh my God, how absolute power can be denied. I emphasize that it is very easy to learn, but we think that God is omniscient, remains strong.

God they should be considered "spiritual". Science and logic can't speak.

It's more beneficial to the species for death to exist- technological advancement would take so much longer (if it would ever advance at all) if death did not occur.

Adaptation only equips us to postpone death, not evade it. Of course, evading death is impossible no matter what tools evolution gives you.

I'm not aware of any definition of Aversion which means.

(Death won't happen) or anything.

I'm saying the desire to stay alive and propagate is one of the many things which drives a species to continue and exist.

If God existed, he would be Jesus Christ. If God existed, he would be Holy Spirit. If God existed, he would be God.

If God existed, he would everyone and everyone would be him according to Christianity.

I'm pretty sure you just confused Christianity with Hinduism.

By 'everyone' I meant his three personas, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I'm trying really hard here since even among the Christians there's no consensus about the holy trinity.

I wonder how you figure, since the translation of Christ from the Greek christos simply means anointed one, like the Hebrew word moshiach, messiah.

That's why I believe in the Force. I will join the Cosmos Force once I die and manifest myself as a ghost.

I know this is a little of topic, but I don't get why people hate Jews so much. I get why muslims hate Jews, but other that that, I don't get why other people hate Jews.

The Jews of today are not true Jews, they have mixed to much with other peoples to still be called Yahweh's chosen people. The Original tribes were not allowed to mix even amongst themselves but the Jewish people of today have mixed with all the peoples of the world and therefore are not true Jews, but a mongrel people mixed beyond recognition. I do not hate Jews but when I look at Israel today and see what they are doing to the Palestinians I can understand why they could be hated.

Nonsense. It is written, that the favor of Yehowah passes on from mother´s bloodline to all offsprings.

Is it not also written that the tribes were not to mix with each other or other nations? The Jews of today are not true Jews. Do the Jews of today keep the Law? Do they sacrifice for their sins? If the messiah has not come as they say then the law has not been fulfilled and therefore they are still under it for only through the Messiah can it be fulfilled. If on the other hand the Messiah did come then they do not accept him and can not achieve salvation. The Messiah did come and his Name is Yahshua the chirst and in his name only is there salvation. The Jews of today neither keep the law nor do they accept Yahshua as their savior. How can they be saved? I pray for the day that all nations will be gathered against Jerusalem as the lord said will happen Zechariah 14.
