    Reason for Faith

    The 100,000 years figure was, as I said, an estimate. It IS (as proven) in the hundreds of thousands of years range. How did I know that you were going to start debating the COMPLETELY wrong part of my point? The number of years is irrelevant. The pain, suffering and indifference is the point...

    Reason for Faith

    Yes you do. If God exists, and he was in existence through the entire time we've been on this planet (an estimated 100,000 years), then for 98,000 years what I wrote applies. If you don't believe it then you aren't a Christian. How can you be?

    Dutch Doctors Call for Circumcision Ban

    I think we can safely say that it stems from religion, in whatever form that might be. There's no proof, whatsoever, that it has provides any kind of health benefit.

    Dutch Doctors Call for Circumcision Ban

    Indeed... to most people of most religions, these things are unacceptable. There are always the few, though, who use the religion as a key to doing disgusting things. In this case it's every who has ever taken to mangling a child's genitals... and that's quite a few.

    Dutch Doctors Call for Circumcision Ban

    I was talking in broader terms... in the same way that Islamic extremists find destroying very large buildings filled with people perfectly fine in the name of what they believe.

    Dutch Doctors Call for Circumcision Ban

    The above describes every argument I have against this filthy practice. Religion enables otherwise normal humans to do revolting things.

    Reason for Faith

    As an anti-theist, I'd like to share some views from the other side of the coin. The reason that I believe what I believe is because, based on known and proven history and my own experiences with what I see every day, there is nothing else left to believe. As you're all aware, atheism isn't...

    Does Science have a better explanation on things compared to divine inspiration and revelation?

    Quoting "Yes, it really does" isn't being nice, or allowing anyone to catch up with anything. It's degrading all of the previous posts you've made by displaying such contempt for actual fact. Science gave you the Holocaust? Last time I checked it was the ROMAN CATHOLIC Nazi who made his entire...

    Discrimination in the Catholic Church

    And lets not, for one second attribute the Catholic Church to romance. The last time we did that, MANY priests and bishops were arrested.

    Discrimination in the Catholic Church

    I genuinely didn't believe that people honestly thought that the transmission of STDs was increased due to the use of contraception. As far as I knew it was a lie that the pope spread to stop condom use. Anyone who does believe this may as well crawl back under the rock from whence they came...

    Does Science have a better explanation on things compared to divine inspiration and revelation?

    Yes ,it really does. (If we're stooping to this level of debate, I can carry on all day)

    Does Science have a better explanation on things compared to divine inspiration and revelation?

    A terribly misguided approach, one which the religious would have you believe is true. How do science and religion not DIRECTLY clash? According to the bible, things have happened which we now KNOW are not possible, given the evidence we have. Children are being taught junk science at school...

    Cant we all just get along?

    I'm tired of explaining how badly people (especially theists) are missing the point to this. It's a simple observation which you've twisted and over analyzed. I'm talking about IN THE NAME OF BELIEF. Would an atheist stone a woman for adultery, bring down buildings with aircraft, mutilate the...

    Cant we all just get along?

    Same as every other answer I've seen from what would sound like a theist's point of view. You say that theists tend to me more sacrificial... can you expand on that? As long as they're sacrificing themselves, or their own possessions for what they believe, fine. Don't involve the rest of us in...

    Discrimination in the Catholic Church

    Of course it is. But for one to declare that the government should not have any right to question what goes on in the church is an insult to the parents of the children who were violated by that clutch of hysterical elderly virgins.

    Cant we all just get along?

    Can you give an example of one good, morally decent thing a monotheist can do but and atheist CANNOT do? Whilst you spend the rest of the day thinking about that, think of one evil thing a believer can do in the name of belief (and has done) which an atheist would never dream of doing...

    Discrimination in the Catholic Church

    The problem is, as well, that you could just as easily reword that to "If churches want to rape children, that is their right." and give it the same level of conviction.

    Discrimination in the Catholic Church

    It is ABSOLUTELY the government's (or at least the people's) right to decide that child rape is a bad thing. Do some religious people truly believe they should have their own legislation which cannot be appealed to by the government? You're lucky that what you just said is completely made up...

    Atheist by birth?

    How? If someone BELIEVES that the sky is black... a blind, deaf person lets say... doesn't mean the sky is, indeed black. Same applies to god. Just because people it's real, doesn't make it so. And no, scripture obviously isn't proof.
