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 |

QUOTE Religion makes people lower their self worth. Everything good they do, they will attribute it to a higher being instead of praising themselves for being strong. (Possible debate anyone?) Why should we praise ourselves? We didn't come here on our own. We should give God the glory because He gave us the abilities to accomplish what we have done. So i don't see why I should praise myself. There is nothing wrong with saying yeah i did a good job, but in syaing i did this myself, it was me, me, me. QUOTE Yes, there seems to be more hard evidence on the nonbelievers' side i don't think there is more evidence for nonbelievers. They base what they belive on faith and speculation, belivers base it on faith and speculation |
