  • Originally posted by Dekron   Originally posted by Veraticus If you're actually curious, it's protesting for equal rights by undermining existing gender roles and trying to redefine the basis of gender identity.    you might as well say that St…

  •   Originally posted by Adreal   The way I understand the theoretical formation of the universe is this: 1. The known universe expands. It is extremely hot at this point. 2. A significant amount of visible light forms along with other radiation.…
  • Actually, radiocarbon dating is extremely accurate as long as the source materials are handled with care. The half-lives of the materials involved are clearly established, and as long as you don't use nuclides that are unaffected by electron density…
  • And, finally, even if we were to presume I did have faith in something -- that is, belief without evidence -- why does this suddenly make God true? Would God start to exist if I had faith in the process of capitalism, presuming I had never seen its …
  •   Originally posted by EggFtegg  "Faith", "trust", "belief", "accepting as the most likely possibility" - it's all pretty interchangable without any "mangling" going on. Theists very rarely just believe in God because of a few bedtime stories they…
  • Originally posted by EggFtegg Well, you believe that atoms and gravity are well proven by the scientific community. Have you checked it out how well documented it is and that it is entirely accepted by all scientists, or are you prepared to take th…
  • Originally posted by Cabe2323 The thing is that most if not all outspoken Atheists and Atheist groups  (Just like most if not all outspoken religious groups are extremist) don't stop at just that there is no proof that "God" exists.  They always …
  •   Originally posted by baff There is more to it than the existance of God. That's pretty much the least important element for me.  Religion is about community. Social cohesion.  Providing common morality and a structured framework in which to c…
  •   Originally posted by Cabe2323 There are lots of things throughout history that Humans take as existing that they have never seen.   Have you ever seen Gravity?  Have you ever seen an Atom.  Probably not.  But you take the word of others who ha…
  • Originally posted by Cabe2323 People are not born atheist.  They decide they are just like they decide they are religious.  Atheism is the "Belief" that there are no gods.  You can't say it is proven because you can't prove it.  And it isn't just…
  • Originally posted by MadAce Nnow in areas of the world with propper education the choice is handed to us. And with that propper education comes the power to put things in perspective. Now we actually know what the motives were of the ones who start…
  • Originally posted by MadAce Religion can't be responsible for anything. Simply because religion isn't a person. Period. You do make an interesting point; that it is, after all, people under the sway of religious thought that do these things, a…
  •   Originally posted by Cabe2323 Yes, lets use the Old Testament which is not what Modern Christianity is based on and then say Religion is violent and meant to be violent.  We can just throw out that whole pesky New Testament with the teachings o…
  •   Originally posted by Astropuyo   True and there is no denial of that, but is it religions fault or the is it the followers? I highly doubt given the general message in most "holy" books that we were meant to beat the living hell out eachother …
  • Originally posted by Astropuyo Thems some deep words there.   This is a circumstance scenerio though, some wars would of happend regardless of if religion was there or not. The crusades for instance, talk about glorified pillaging and raiding. It wa…
  • And actually this still doesn't address the primary topic. More people have been killed in the name of religion than have ever been killed in the name of atheism: by that metric, religion is much more bloody than atheism has ever been. While it's tr…
  •   Originally posted by EggFtegg I'd say that when the soldiers may be going to battle, believing God to be on their side, the reasons for the battle itself are more often as not about political issues. This would appear to have been the case with…
  • The difference is, religions kill people because of religious differences. Atheists haven't killed people because of religious differences, but political or racist ones. So, while it's true that Mao Zedong probably killed more than 40 million Chines…
