Care to expand on that and explain, specifically, why we should care about the Bible? The way I see it, the Bible is a bronze age book of myths from a tribe of shepherds. It's scientifically innacurate in more cases than I can even bother to count, the justice system described in the Bible is the kind of thing that our legal system specifically forbids, the social values described therein are the kinds of things that would be considered archaic in the 1800's and the morality of the Bible is about on par with people like Charles Manson. Why do you consider this book to be worth more than the paper it's printed on?

If you constantly have to prove your (unverified and illogical) claim, then that would mean YOU are insecure on your religion. Go eat a handful of Christian holy tasteless bodily crunchy wafer communion and try to regain some faith, and hopefully you leave us alone. Sorry for my harsh reply, but what would you expect in an atheist forum?

In 2 weeks or maybe even within one week, you will stop posting here since you will notice how your arguments are redundant and cannot withstand the test of being critizised.

Atheists often express hatred toward theists with impunity. You claim to be a pantheist. According to http://www.pantheism.net/ , the following is the pantheist position - Our beliefs and values reconcile spirituality and rationality, emotion and values and environmental concern with science and respect for evidence. They are summarized in our Statement of Principles, which embodies the following basic principles: 1. Reverence, awe, wonder and a feeling of belonging to Nature and the wider Universe . 2. Respect and active care for the rights of all humans and other living beings. 3. Celebration or our lives in our bodies on this beautiful earth as a joy and a privilege. 4. Strong naturalism - without belief in supernatural realms, afterlives, beings or forces. 5. Respect for reason, evidence and the scientific method as our best ways of understanding nature and the Cosmos. 6. Promotion of religious tolerance, freedom of religion and complete separation of state and religion. Do you agree with that? You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence. |
