Religion, Why must ppl insist on debating it? Options

[EmeraldKnight]

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

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.

The above is the perfect example of what I mean. Hehe.

I've never thanked God for anything I've done for myself in my life, and trust me, I've done a lot of things for myself. I never even thought about God's existence until 3 years ago when my cousin asked me to join her Church.

I get myself through hard times, I've never once thought about God. I depend on my own strength to get me through the day.

For believers, you may say that your God helped you, but please, respect that other people have learned that the will to live is more important than the will to serve someone else.

There's nothing wrong with saying "me me me" either. If you've been to Hell and back, if you've suffered and risen through all, then you have the right to say what you want. You deserve that much.
