Isn't It Stange ... But True?

[aposhark]

I see no reason why it can't be discussed rationally If anybody gets aggravated by anothers views they can always leave the thread The only animosity I've ever seen comes from the devil worshippers on here (sorry, I mean Atheists ).

The world would be a more peaceful place if we all showed a bit of tolerence and understanding to other people's beliefs.

Did any of the mass murderers who used religious differences to wipe out millions offer the same argument as they sharpened their swords or dropped their cannisters of gas ?

Also, do you think this forum would be "a more peaceful place" if we atheists constantly started threads about our beliefs?

As has been mentioned in many other threads before, any religious person has the right to show any atheist ANY proof of a "god", a "jesus", "mohammed" or any other of the wacky fairy tales.
There is nothing wrong with people going to church, if that is what they want to do.
I can't see any benefit in mentioning it here.
As long as there are threads containing religious mumbo-jumbo, others have the right to oppose this constant claptrap.

Religion is like a disease to me.
Fortunately, most people in the UK feel the same.

you need proof that god exists, why

a simple thread on why the church is losing its flock can be debated cant it?

If I posted on this forum that all cars were really cross-dressing dogs in a bullish mood, wouldn't you want to know where that little fact came from?
It is a nonsense idea and should be rightly questioned.

Likewise, people who mention religious ideas should be subject to a few searching questions.
Such as:
A church is a building that celebrates the idea of a "god".
Can any religious person show the others any proof of anything that backs up anything concerning their belief?

It is a legitimate question as far as I am concerned.

As an atheist, I don't have to prove anything about a "god".
If someone implies there is a god, prove it.

Nope, coz you seem like an angry lot to me I've often found that with Atheists, there seems to be a real seething for religions Sure there's been way too much bloodshed in the name of religion, brainwashing, greed, sex abuse, the list goes on, but people will believe what they want to believe, you're not going to change the mindest of somebody who's been spoon fed it from birth.

None of my business, but I'm guessing your wife's a catholic, just wondering how she takes it the way you feel about her faith?

I as an athiest will never give the floor to people who spout off about ideas without any proof.
It is as ludicrous as people who used to believe the earth was flat, or that the sun was a "god".

Yes, my wife is catholic, we never discuss religion.
It is agreeable to both of us in equal measure.

so religion is taboo in your household huh. I bet that makes holy week etc etc etc etc exciting for your wife.
How about Christmas, how does that go down when you are working? I guess you must be working because you don't believe and Christmas to you is just another day.
My wife and I have Mother Mary all over house like many Filipina's, I wonder if you allow your wife to do the same? or is that something else you and your wife have agreed upon not talking about?

Christmas is just a time for me to see family, that is all.
We don't have any religious artifacts or mumbo jumbo in that time either.
We are a very happily married couple and we get by without religion.
We believe in the here and now, not the false promises that religion tries to offer.
We have no shame and we don't need to confess any sins. Can you?

I some how can't see your Filipina wife saying that 'Christmas is just a time for me to see family, that is all.

Come on aposhark, I think just a bit of you can not let go because you say Christmas time is for family.

I bet you vote liberal as well

I don't want to get personal with you, or want to know your politics.
I just have firm ideas about religion that are not connected to the personal.
