Duke_Freedom Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 It doesn't matter if religions are wrong! Religions offer absolutely no proof that God exists! This is actually a logical fallacy known as straw man. You're attacking our weakest argument; ironically it's not even an argument. Here's what I see your argument as: People misuse religion --> religions say God exist --> God doesn't exist. I don't see the link between the second and third points. People misuse politics --> polititians say a countries budget exists--> budgets do not exist. ^^ Using your logic. Why say you believe in a religion then, when you only believe in a god? Politician are not thrustworthy --> A president says there's nothing wrong with the economy so you shouldn't sell your stocks --> You should sell your stocks immediately because it's 100% sure the market will crash within a few days.

Peace Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I used to believe in god, well, im christened, but not out of my choice. I used to not know whether or not to believe in Big G, i mean, how did we become what we are, look outside, things are mad, how did we make our first language? Puzzling stuff, sum1 once said answers to these questions were in the bible. This is where i realised there werent any answers in the bible, none relevant to todays world anyway. At the end of the day, if theres a god, why is there such a thing as unhappiness, grieving, pain... etc But there has to be some ulterior motive to this world, we cant just live, then die and rot for eternity.. To be honest i am clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usara Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Live your life and make others a bit more bearable, in my view, we are all alone, we must look out for eachother because some Omnipotent being aint doing it for us. A world without god = Meaningless, Lonely, pointless, complex... Thats why god was invented, to give meaning, give hope, make a point, make stuff easier to understand. I hate it, because its false hope, false logic, overshadowing the better issues of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They believe that God was invented to give people power, and they misuse that power. Religion Invented ----> 'Superior' people rise -----> Superior people abuse their power.

Guest GOD187 Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 I personally think spiritualism is a waste of time and there to comfort the weak and needy that there is a plan for them. I see no point in wasting time worshipping or believing. Alas though, if I did as my "christian" upbringing would suggest, I would still not go to church and worship, honestly, I think God, or Ahla or whatever would rather us spend our time improving ourselfs then going to church or praying. We shouldn't beg for forgivness, or ask for aid from "the all powerful one," only when we can break ourselves of dependancy can we advance in our capabilities. The kind of self improvement I am speaking of is becoming more then we are in a physical and mental state, evolution if I may. As for the weak part, I was meaning I view anyone who is deeply religous as weak, if one is strong they will have no need to worry about a higher power, and focus merely on making themselves higher in power, I know my veiws are contraversial in this day and age, and alas, I have learned to keep my veiws to myself in my area, the deep south... if you ain't a devout Baptist and you speak out against it, not good lol Well, religion is an invention of man, ergo it is inherntly flawed. Any form of "religion" could just as easily be called a cult. To put it simply, religion is bad, belief is good. Think about that for alittle.

insane Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 Duke, have you ever heard of the concept of principle vs. application? For example, the principle of aerodynamics is applied to airplanes, correct? Now, if you look at two planes, and see that they are different, it would be absurd to conclude aerodynamics does not exist correct? The principle is just being applied differently. The same thing happens with a plane that cannot fly, the principle is still there, it is just being applied incorrectly. Just like God and religion. People may apply it the wrong way, but by no means does it imply that God does not exist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartho_e Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 First of all, you're all quarrelling about that there is no proof that god does not excist. Well ofcourse, if something is not there, why do we need proof of it? Take for an example dinasaurs. They do not excist (at the moment). But yet, there is no proof that they not excist. The same for gods, do they excist. Do you have any proof that a God excists? No, because he doesn't. And if that happens, people are going in the way of; But can you proofe that God doesn't excist? First of all, all the people who believe, take some time and think about or there is proof of God excisting. People may believe what they think is right, but most of the time they let it poison in there minds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kedai Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 you dont need proof for something to be real. but, proof is miracles, look at an old tree, thats a miracle. your a miracle. and read the bible, oldest piece of HISTORY ever. knowing without proof is called Faith. go get some. it can be found at your local church for the cost of $0.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your point, but all gods people talk about are bound to some religion, therefore I can say it's unlikely that those gods those religions talk about exist.
