RE: Christians, what is your VERY BEST arguments for the existence of God?
March 27, 2010 at 12:00 am
1- Love thy neighbor as thyself, thou shalt have no other God before me, remember the sabbath and keep it holy, thou shall not steal, commit adultry, lie, kill (I know you were specifically waiting for that last one)
2-From my personal experience religion is not serving and parasitic. It hasn't feed off/bred of people's innate fears and insecurities and instills in them a false sense of security with their own psyche. The world convinced me long before religion that people are not only undeniably flawed from birth. I'm sorry for any experiences you've had opposed to that. I don't deny they happen all the time to people. You're condemning an entire group based off some of it's fanatical radical elements. I agree that the world would be better without invasive and bigoted religion, small/closed mindedness, and hate. Can't you see you're spewing as much bigoted venom as some of the people you profess to be wrong?
3-It also brought weapons, stronger diseases, waste, pollution, overpopulation, etc. You're only looking at the good of science and none of the bad. You're also only looking at the bad of religion and not the good...I thought you were more openminded than that.
To answer your 2 questions
a-God provides for us
b-Once again you're assuming religion excludes science. While the inverse is true, Religion doesn't profess to have an answer for all knowledge of the world, just it's origins and ways to better it.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
