A Question to the Theists Here
#4
RE: A Question to the Theists Here
Quote:With perfect English?

I don't understand your question...
How can one decide to only follow certain aspects of a religion and reject the rest because it doesn't fit their chosen belief system? It's like choosing toppings on a pizza that you like or dislike. Religion doesn't work this way. Either accept it all or reject it all.

Quote:That would be a logical dichotomy... why can there be no middle ground?
Because we are talking about religion. There has never been a middle ground on religion. Either repent and accept Jesus or burn in hell. One could give millions to charity every year to help his fellow man but if said person didn't accept Jesus then it's eternal damnation for you.

Quote:Some theists believe the burning brush is true, but for the sake of argument: If I disagree with one thing, why must I disagree with the lot of them? Say we have a political party that believes A, B, M, N, and D. Say I agree with A, B, M, and N... but I am vehemently against D. Does my opposition to D preclude my capacity to agree with A, B, M, and N? In the same way one might dissect the Bible (or other religious texts).
We aren't talking about politics. We are talking about religion. Granted both have a sort of blind, ignorant, and arrogant following. Politics were created by man but so was religion so I lose ground on that one. Remember religion, unlike politics, isn't up for debate though. It is absolute truth and God is infallible, right? If one is to question the Holy Book then one is to question the religion itself. Don't believe me? Ask your nearest Fundamentalist Muslim. You can't because it is punishable by death.

Quote:Yes you can Religions, as with political parties, social groups, teams, and really any classification can all disagree over trivialities and still be party to a foundation In example... we have the vegetarians, among them is Hitler. While most of the vegetarians are likely to disagree in a large number of circumstances with Hitler: they all remain vegetarians
Hitler was also a Christian. Can you give me a different example?

Quote:So your conversions are reducing in quantity every year, and you are using this as a selling point...?

I honestly doubt your claim that even a single person is a pastafarian (honestly believes there is an FSM).
It's called satire. Our chosen religion is just as believable as your chosen religion. Except our religion has never killed anyone in His name. So what if the FSM was not truly discovered until recent years. Can you prove your God isn't the Flying Spaghetti Monster? No you say, then that means He exists. Since we now know He exists because you can't disprove it, what makes you think your God is also not the FSM(pasta be on his plate)?
