	quote JammerJaw quote Sodachugger0 And what proof do you have that the bible is proof other than the bible saying it's the truth? Soda, it's flying right over your head, but you're not catching it. FAITH It's flying over your head. He's not ignoring faith, this is his response to those who say the bible is proof of the christian God. Basically, I could write a clearly fictional work with both common sense and scientific truths being defied and then proclaim it to be non-ficton, like people have with the bible (and works like His Dark Materials and Harry Potter don't contradict themselves as much) ------------------- Av/Sig credit to HomunculusLover ^^

	quote Halo_Asassin quote Kjgmusic quote Halo_Asassin So you believe that someone should recieve infinite, as in neverending punishment for doing something god, a being who wasn't even kind enough to leave us some evidence of his existence, does not want them to do? If there is a God, and he left us proof of his existence, wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose of faith? Yes, and then maybe more people would believe in him. Y'know, cause of the evidence and logic that would support him. Faith is a idiotic concept. Believing in something without any proof of it. To quote George Carlin, "What are you, bleeping stupid?" Love, and having a relationship with someone, also involves faith and trust. Faith that while you're asleep at night, your significant other isn't going to kill you. Faith that you aren't going to be betrayed. Faith that the other person will always keep your best intentions at heart, while you make yourself vulnerable to keep his/her best intentions at heart. Are you calling anyone who lets himself fall in love bleeping stupid? I realize this isn't the same issue we are dealing with here, and that it is tangential, but it is exactly the same principal. Also, if you are an atheist, you still have faith. Faith = believing something without proof. Atheism = believing that there is no God. There is no proof that there is no God, just as there is no proof that there is a God. It's just faith in the complete opposite direction. -------------------

	quote Halo_Asassin Faith is a idiotic concept. Believing in something without any proof of it. To quote George Carlin, "What are you, bleeping stupid?" Faith is partially what makes the world go round. The way I see it, it's a pretty damn viable concept. There's all those people out there who would be doing unspeakable/unguessable things would it not be for faith. And also, I believe almost every person, at one point in their life, uses faith whether it may be down to the simplest thing or not. Can be about religion, paranormal/supernatural shit, love, friendship, and so on. -------------------

	quote Dark Arcanine Religion is a joke and flawed... what more has to be said? It's just a good way of keeping the masses in line, promising them a better life so you can give them crap in this one and they'll accept it because they're stupid enough to. At the end of the day, religion is a business. Don't get me wrong, there are some morals and philosophies which have been brought to the table by religion which are good. But the concepts and whatnot are hilarious to say the least. The only time I could ever imagine anyone intelligently embracing religion would be on their deathbed, just to be safe. you see that last sentence makes them more pathetic then the people who believe all there life. I personally think the world would be boring without religion and fantasy. ------------------- Dyslexia is considered to be a learning disability.

	quote Kjgmusic Love, and having a relationship with someone, also involves faith and trust. Faith that while you're asleep at night, your significant other isn't going to kill you. Faith that you aren't going to be betrayed. I will concede emotions aren't entirly logical and it is emotions that lead to relationships etc. However, faith is unjustified belief, and someone never having killed anyone in their sleep before is evidence (albeit not conclusive evidence) that they shan't do the same to you. Other observations can be made about character to determine the likelihood of betrayal or getting sleepdeathed. We can't observe the authors of the bible and analyse their characters and intentions, nor can we vouch for the truth of the events. Whilst it is also true that, in most cases, the events cannot be disproven either, the fact that there are millions of possibilities for so many things yet only one can apply should be a good indicator that by not believing things which you have no reason to believe in, you are going to be right far more often than if you blindly believe in anything. Furthermore, if you believe everything, you won't be able to recognise proof/evidence when you see it. ------------------- Av/Sig credit to HomunculusLover ^^

	Nothing wrong with God. The religion itself is pretty awesome and it's super interesting when there are findings that says that some events described in the Bible might have actually happened. But people use the name of God, twist the meanings of the Bible, and use it for their power. Or there are believers who believe just for the sake of having somewhere to belong in or talk about. That's what I'm against. ------------------- FF8 Forum \| http://ava-lanche.mybrute.com

	I don't got a religion and I don't really care if there is a god or multiple gods because it does not affect me one way or another. On the same token, I don't really care if somebody else believes in a god/multiple gods or don't believe. However, if someone starts preaching their beliefs to me, it'll get annoying and I'll tell them to shut up with their preaching. If they want me to respect their religious beliefs they better respect the lack of mine. ------------------- My Main Blog NeoBlog

Plus what is it about Jesus Christ dieing for your sins?
