Are you religous?, And Why? Options

[vash1530]

because of the recent debate i've been having in the "Jesus... is he Gay?" thread, i've decided to make a new thread so that I can argue eith ppl and not be off-topic. When anyone is ready, ill start the assault.

it is actually not logical at all to educated people. Yes their false hope in god gives them a sort of strength because they believe that go has their back but, in the end, this will backfire when they begin to rely on him too much.
O and, since you haven't read some of my previos posts, i was a devout christian not too long ago so i still have somewhat of an idea of their mind-set. But, now that i can see without religion clouding my judgment, i have recognized that religion gives you misconceptions and takes the thinking out of things.

Religion does not have the capacity to give or take anything from anyone. It is the choice of an individual to accept or reject anything that is a function of a belief. Additionally, the ability to use one's mind exists regardless of personal beliefs regarding religion or anything else.

Because you chose to "give away" your individuality to religion, you can't claim it back because you reject religion now. It never took it in the first place. All you've done is move along the same continuum of choice. Nothing is fundamentally changed with regard to how you view the nature of power, choice or free will. The nature of your argument throughout this thread is illogical.
