He has to back them up? In what kind of intelligent debate does anybody back up their claims!? Preposterous!

I'm all for aethiesm, but you need to try to be respectful. People are much more repsonsive towards a polite, educated person than to a disrespectful, impolite person who calls things "retarded". (PC, anyone?). If you want people to take you seriously, you need take the issues you debate seriously.

Seriously, people. The correct term these days is "consistent with mental deficiency."

Religion is neither of those things. It's something far more potentially damaging - a cultural identifier.

Really? I find them the most enjoyable when I'm asleep, with unconscious coming in a close second.

You are wrong. The truth about religion is:

There is no god.
There is no Devil.
There is no heaven.
There is no hell.

Everything man does right, he does on his own.
Everything man does wrong, he does on his own.

Get used to it.


Have a day

1. every religion is a cult.
Well, yes. That's the idea

2. every religion is a SCAM. ever notice how the people how don't give are sowled at? Well, organized religions with buildings, employees, utilities, charity projects etc. etc. need to make money to cover those costs. Religious services are just that- a service. People have to pay to get them, only religions are nice about it; if you can't pay, don't.

3.every religion is retarded. Wow. I mean I'd call myself an anti-theist but wow. just wow. like wow. I didn't know people on this site would use that in such an asinine and derogatory way

1. Im pretty sure cult's, by definition, can't be majorities or something?
2. I've never noticed myself ever giving the church much of anything out of a feeling of compulsion while I was a Christian, and because I rarely actually physically go to church as it is, there's not many people to "sowl" at me.
3. That's not going to convince me your right, I give this argument an F....but then again, it has spirit, maybe an F+.

It takes an asinine person to use "retarded" in an asinine and derogatory way.

damn this thread grew fast...

anyways all i ment was that religion is a method of control over people. If your truly religious and say your "leader" (pope, sha, whatever) tells you that god wouldent like this or that for whatever reason, 9 times outta 10 you would stay away from it. Well at least the easly led people would..

Religion is neither good nor bad...it all depends on your subjective view.

Whether or not you believe in an Almighty, some people's quest to find answers sometimes leads them to a spiritual path, and live their lives based on morals and codes based on their religion's sacred text. A good example of this is Martin Luther King Jr., or Mahatma Ghandhi, or the Dalai Lama. In my humble opinion, anyone who uses religion to further compassion and peace to all mankind is a good thing.

Televangelists, bad thing. Again, my opinion. Using religion for financial gain is kinda missing the point. Fundamentalists, bad thing. Taking extreme views and not willing to change or adapt is not condusive to anything....Scientology, well, that's just weird to me...
