god thread, number 3 Options

[*disco infiltrator*]

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.

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

Ever hear of indulgences? During the middle ages, the Catholic Church claimed that your soul would not be sent to heaven unless you paid indulgences.

indulgences were something you paid for in reperation for sins. instead of confession, you'd pay indulgences. it was simply because people were too lazy to say a few prayers or go out and help someone like we do now.
