Besides Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny,The Tooth Fairy.......

I've been debating believers on the internet since there was an internet, and I've seen the "mad at god" accusation many times. You guys are like a broken record. I'm assuming they, and you, use this straw man argument because it's difficult for you to hear a view that questions your beliefs and it's easier for you to make assumptions about me rather than take on the points against believing that I make.

Again, you keep bringing up "how we got here". Just because we don't fully understand is no reason to attribute it to magic. This is the easy way out, and for those whose minds are influenced by religion, a comforting view.

Is it so hard to say, "we dont' know yet and we may never know"? Of course Christians have belived crazy things throughout history, science comes along and readjusted their believes and life goes on. Flat earth, earth the center of the universe, etc. Stop believing in magic and use your brain.

good points guy...but what would christians, the arch diases,etc stand to gain from making this stuff up?

You believe that a Jewish zombie who was his own dad can grant you eternal life in paradise if you symbolically eat his flesh and drink his blood and bow down to him so he can remove the taint of sin that resulted when a woman made out of a rib from a man made out of dust was convinced by a talking snake to eat a magical fruit.

Your attempt at George Carlin-like humor isn't cute.

I thought it was prtty funny. In alot of ways DEAC is right, about 99% IMO but he just comes off as a dick, there is no reason to attack people for believing in mythology.

There is when the mythologists have such tremendous political power.

...agreed, but calling Jesucristo everyname in the book isnt the best way to make a point. I should probably stick to my normal dick and fart jokes, these political/religious threads arent really my forte'.

I agree.

It's a little more than mythology when the entire world's dating system revolves around the man's life.

It's a no win situation. Just a waste of time to debate really.

Sorry for having to travel for work.

I believe that the way in to heaven is thru the grace of God. I'm sure scholars far more educated than I could give a better answer but, since you asked my opinion, I will tell you.

I believe that any morally correct human being can have eternal life simply thru God's grace....meaning God is powerful enough to condemn us to hell, but doesn't because we are all his children. If someone has led a good life and hasn't come to know him, thru his grace, they may go to heaven.

I don't want to come off as a bible thumper because I am far from that. I got involved in this thread due to comments that were, in my opinion, reckless and childish. Didn't mean to spark a religion war.

T

I beleive in God but am the most morally corrupted guy there is. I've had premarital sex with triple digit girls and have experimented with different drugs from coke to X. I've intentuionally used a slut just to make fun of her later but I always beleived in God and pray every night but don't really go to church. I'll go to heaven. Geeze, I better... for all of the shit I have put up with on Earth

 

[Kingofhearts]

The be whatever you want to be when you grow up is a good answer for this kinda thread,

That is the biggest bunch of bullshit.

So I could be president? Yeah right, maybe if my family which i haver no control over was well connected because that is the biggest step right there.

Or maybe I could be Mr. Olympia( top bodybuilder in the world) Nope, you have to have perfect genetics to be there so I could have the perfect diet, perfect gym time, perfect rest, and perfect drugs and I still wouldn't be able to do that

 

[MrRogers]

how come animals dont pray?

will they get into heaven?
