Religion, Why must ppl insist on debating it? |
Debate Rules
Here are the general forum rules that you must follow before you start any debate topics. Please make sure you've read and followed all directions.
- Topics are not to bash others.
- Immature behaviors/comments will not be tolerated.
- Please remember, not everyone thinks like you. People have different ways of thinking and different perspectives. Let's respect each other's thoughts and responses.
- PLEASE, search before making new topics--especially popular topics like "God" and "Abortion" etc.
- PLEASE, read through the thread or at least a couple pages before posting. We have to maintain a certain level of maturity in here.

Everyone has their own beliefs, some belief in a deity, some do not.. I dont see the point of all these debates regarding religion...
I mean.. the ppl are clearly very religious, they're not going to change their minds about their religion, and it seems like the nonbelievers arent willing to either.. the religious debates going on in this forum are battles of stubborness that I dont see the point of.. obvious neither side is willing to concede and neither side has evidence the other will accept, so why bother continuing? I suppose if you think its fun, then go right ahead.. but i'm just tired of all the emphasis on theology |

Religion holds no real importance in my life even though I was brought up a southern baptist. What good is religion if someone continues to lie, decieve, cheat and steal?
Regarding my last statement, I had mainly Christians and Atheists in mind. When it comes to this head on rivalry amongst the youth, primarily college students at predominantly white schools, the big deal is how big of a Christian you are or how big of an Atheist you are. The image. |

When it comes to this head on rivalry amongst the youth, primarily college students at predominantly white schools, the big deal is how big of a Christian you are or how big of an Atheist you are. The image.  Indeed, what good is religion if it's used for deception or political gains. As for the image, on one side, you have evangelists—who threatens with the promise of Hell, and on the other you have those who are content with knowing and/or not knowing—who threatens with... disbelief? The one who is at fault is the one who insisted in the first place, in this case. That's the image I have, but it is not in regard to hardcore Atheists I guess. QUOTE(sovietski @ Oct 25 2005, 9:57 PM) actually disco...i was asked a question that BrandonSaunders pretty much answered..but not to flake out, i thought id mention my thought on that matter...i'd suggest to you the same, and not spam..because ur comment was equally pointless. To be relevant to the topic, may I ask what question did the Don answered for you? |
