anti- religion, but not anti- faith Options

[deplorable]

i am strongly against religion - it has currupted beliefs.

throughout the years, it is known religious leaders have altered the bible and other religious texts to suit their own need and to insure power over the people; who is to know what is true and what is absolutely fiction

but i am not anti-faith, for my faith in god is strong.

I respect religion, but I don't have to accept it. I've debated religion since this subforum was formed and I have seen Bible "slamming" as you've said and even participated, but it's usually in response to some fanatic damning non-Christians to Hell for not believing out of the blue. Read the God I, II, and III threads for just a taste of it. I've said this many times, tolerance work both ways. You can't expect a person to be tolerant when the other is cursing their souls to eternal damnation (it's not in human nature to do so). It's rude and it's human nature to be rude right back.

I've also seen ideas being passed around and people learn a lot from these debates. You must realize, not everyone here is out to discredit people. Yes, this is a debate forum, but that doesn't mean we can't share ideas and state our opinions for the heck of it.

People who come into a debate forums like this with preconceived notions that people will automatically try to discredit them won't have fun here. There's been a couple of times that I was cussed at for simply asking an honest question... talk about rude. Anyway... off-topic-ness..

My point is, I DID NOT see Bible slamming in what you quoted so I do not understand your anger.
