Well, since the servers are down

everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, no point in debating religion cause you can not simply sway ones mind from something they have already convinced themselves into believing. I dont debate religion or politics because it is pointless, and not fun. I'm a christian and many of my friends are atheist and i respect that because not everyone is raised the same or brought up around religion so you just have to learn to respect everyone for who they are. :)

Nailed to a Cross is OP

**He died for our skins. **

the bible is essentially a book of short stories, portrayed as the word of our "creator" used to control the population of its followers in ways that financially and spiritually control them to give their means to God, i.e. the physical church, that is run by people. who use the money to buy things. which if you pay attention to the bible, you know is a direct contradiction of jesus' teachings.

religion fills the unanswerable question of our existence, they cannot accept the fact that we simply are. there is no reason

reason is created in the human mind. things are for no reason. and some would rather lie to themselves than accept the truth.

Jesus was a great magician. Fooled all of us.

Sorry I'm an atheist. D;

people always talking about that guy behind his back, so rude

And how he is nonexistent?

servers are back up

Jesus was ADC and his disciples were supports.

This thread is going better than I expected...

It's become so much more mainstream to be anti-religious than religious, and I don't understand why. Maybe it's because my family never, ever talked about religion, but it's not even an issue I care about.

But whether you're theist or atheist, I don't care. An overly-enthusiastic atheist is as equally annoying as an equally-hostile theist. I don't have a problem with any of it until it has a problem with me, from either side.

I don't get it, though. Some people are super-adamant about it, and I don't see how it even matters. You're not going to convince anyone one way or the other about a faith-based system (both theism and atheism are faith-based, both are reasonable if you realize neither is personally empirical, one is not more "logical" than the other in a pragmatic sense) to begin with, so why argue something like that?

So, you know, I'm fine with both theism and atheism. Until they start trolling each other about it, in which case I still like going by the "believe what you want if it makes you a cooler person" idea.

Zilean ulted him

Pffft what did Jesus ever do for us? Odin is the real hero.
