Are you religous?, And Why? |
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.

I'll get one thing straight right off the bat; I'm an atheist and I don't believe in a God or Higer Being/Power, etc.
HOWEVER... what I don't understand is why people must SUPPRESS religion so. You say that people refuse to give up something even though it has been disproven - have you ever thought about why? People simply don't care that it has been disproven. When you break it down, religion helps people. It is an emotional and spiritual crutch for people, and it guides them throughout life. I don't know about you, but that sounds like a good thing to me. And my question is...why must you so passionately suppress a good thing? Michael says it the best.

Michael says it the best. ur getting me wrong im not trying to supress religion ( i could't do that if i dedicated my life to it) and yes i do know that religion "helps" people.(Iused to use it to guide my life and i looked for scripture when i had problems.) anyways i dont view religion as a good thing. It clouds peoples judgement, gives them false hope, and ultimately lies to them. Its like telling a person, about to die, and someone reassuring you that you'll be fine. It's comforting but to what point and purpose?that they'll be fine. Or aYes, people have had better lives but for what purpose?God takes the individuality out of people. |

PUULLEAAZEEEEeeeEe if you want to argue about it i'm ready. on the nicer side........you can beleive whatever you want to beleive, no need to argue about it...you have the choice to beleive in whatever you want to believe. but you my friend, it sounds like you're trying to convince everyone that there is no God and he never existed and that everything you say is right and thats that. THAT MY FRIEND IS CALLED ARROGANCE! but yeahhh...that is all i have to say for now
