So, it seems that everything talked about in another thread leads to religion.
So here we are! Debate the existence of God and which one's right and stuff. I would post links to God threads 1 & 2, but you can't search for three-letter words. ![]() (2 got to 50 pages, think we can beat it?!?) Er, I'll start. I'm atheist. Prove me wrong. By prove, I mean state facts that have been backed up by solid evidence. I have yet to see that happen in all 70 combined pages of threads 1 & 2. |

religion doesn't require thinking.
plus, it's easier to convince people they need to give thier gold to you so they can get into heaven than to convince them to give thier gold to you because you know the scientific explanation. |

Funny thing is, the Catholic Church does not require its members to give them money. So I doubt the motivation is money. |

Is that why there's a statement in the bible that if you do not offer money, you steal from God and therefore sentenced to hell? (I'm not sure what the specific book is but I'm sure my bible teacher mentioned something about that 3 years ago). And my priests also tell me it's a must to donate money ![]() QUOTE(disco infiltrator @ Feb 9 2006, 6:03 PM) yup |

Do you know the context it was in, or even what book it was in? QUOTE Well, no one knew the world is spherical nor that earth revolves around the sun, however, the flat-earth theory and the geocentric theory were definitely challenged and later found credible. But why then, did Catholic Church condemned such challenge, such endeavor to further knowledge of the cosmos, as heresy? I read a great article about that a few weeks ago. The Galileo Controversy Why did the Catholic Church condemn Galileo? |
