There are quite some religious people on this forum.
Some who I realy like aswell. And generaly speaking, I have no problem with peoples faiths, since I see faith as a personal decision and the right to have it a unquestionable human right.
What will probably get you banned, is the opening of countless threads and your copy and paste jobs.
Ditto. Plus, the OP of this thread got banned for having multiple accounts that he didn't seem to talk to the admins about and for trying to advertise his stupid-as-fuck Yahoo group. If I were the admin, I probably would have banned him a lot sooner for insulting members and preaching, but the sites admins seem to be much more lenient than I would have been.
Anyway, as for God, I'm entirely open to the idea that god exists, I just have yet to find or see proof that any supernatural being is there. I'm not saying "No god exists" as much as I'm saying "I have yet to find evidence that any God exists that satisifies my criteria for proof."
So far, every phenomenon we have attributed to God has always turned out to have a scientific explanation. We used to think lightning was the arsenal of God and then we learned about electricity. We used to think disease was another godly weapon and then we learned about viruses and bacteria. We used to think birth defects were gods punishments against certain people and then we learned about genetics. We used to look at phenomenon like the tides and rain and just say 'God did it' but now we understand the water cycle and the gravatitional pull of the moon.
I read a little of the new guy's 'wall-o-text' and stopped almost immediately. He uses the Bible as proof of God's existance. Seriously, when you pull shit like that you can't expect to be taken seriously, y'know? There are plenty of Jews who can prove the existance of their God with their holy book and Muslims who can prove the existane of their God with the Koran and believers in Hinduism or Taoism or Wicca or Scientology or any other religion and each and every one of them has their own religious belief system that they can proove with their holy book.
