    Is choosing a religion like playing Roulette?

    There isn't a right one to pick, in my opinion. They are all 'right'. In such an unlikely scenario, I feel very sorry for the deity in question. Its about to discover the limit of its power. I just believe what I believe. I don't think I'm wrong unless I'm given reason to think I'm wrong. I...

    Is Having a Religion a Sin To Rationalists??

    I don't find sin to be a rational belief. So... you know... no.

    If you had proof of God.

    Nope.

    Have Religions Outlived its Usefulness in The USA

    Actually, I want to debate because I disagree with the sentiment of your OP. Its only natural. I do love to debate, however. Then your previous argument is hardly sufficient. Try again. I'm following the implication of your statements. I have no intention of ceasing that practice for you or...

    Hey God, Why Us Anyway?

    Creating an object it can't lift doesn't change anything about its perspective.

    Have Religions Outlived its Usefulness in The USA

    I'm certain I'm not the only one. You just blamed slavery, racism and sexism on Christianity itself. All three predate the USA and Christianity. You are obviously wrong about that. Your refusal to provide the evidence proves it further. However, even if you had provided evidence, it would have...

    Have Religions Outlived its Usefulness in The USA

    Please feel free to come up with whatever source you like to demonstrate these 'facts' you believe in. For bonus points, see if you can prevent me from demonstrating the opposite directly afterwards. Good luck. Again, you don't know what that means. Stop saying it. What I wanted was for you to...

    Have Religions Outlived its Usefulness in The USA

    Exactly my point. Its so highly subjective its practically useless to ask such an open-ended question without first knowing what the author of the question means. Considering the overall attitude towards religion of the OP, I felt it was all but given that he sees nothing positive in religion at...

    Have Religions Outlived its Usefulness in The USA

    I have absolutely no expectations of a 'return' from religion. The very idea of such a thing is utterly ridiculous to me. This is what makes my question rhetorical (as in, I have no expectation of an answer) and the OP's question ridiculous (since the premise is based on nonsense). Its the same...

    Have Religions Outlived its Usefulness in The USA

    I didn't propose any questions in the last paragraph... The only question in the post you quoted was to ask the OP for clarification of what 'returns' he saw as diminishing. Is that the question you mean? What returns I see?

    Have Religions Outlived its Usefulness in The USA

    You've got to be kidding me. :facepalm: Definitely done with you, now.

    Have Religions Outlived its Usefulness in The USA

    Fine by me. Your first question was: My answer was: To put it simply, your question implies that you believe religion, in the past, served a purpose in government. Further, it states that this purpose is increasingly diminished as time goes on. This is what diminishing returns means (as I...

    Hey God, Why Us Anyway?

    That's not really a dilemma. It just seems like one because a vast majority of people who believe in an almighty creator are unwilling to diminish it in any way (out of fear in most cases). The fact is that God can create an object it can't lift. It just wouldn't be almighty afterwards. Every...

    Have Religions Outlived its Usefulness in The USA

    Then you didn't read my posts or you have an incredibly self-serving definition of 'legitimate'. Yes. Is there something wrong with that? I demanded no such thing. I asked you what your vision for the future was. That is, what you hoped to accomplish. I'm not asking you to predict the future...

    Have Religions Outlived its Usefulness in The USA

    I answered every one of your questions in my first response. You've failed to answer a single one of mine in 3 responses since. This is the debate forum. Think about that. Done with you and your 'observations'.

    Hey God, Why Us Anyway?

    I wouldn't really look at it as errors. If what I'm saying is true (which obviously isn't necessarily the case) then you have to look at 'imperfection' as intentional. Its not a mistake, its exactly what the being wants. In that sense it's just as perfect with 'errors' as it is without them...

    Have Religions Outlived its Usefulness in The USA

    I'm pretty sure I was the one who said the USA is getting more progressive. Did you even read my post? Are you completely reversing your sentiments from earlier in the thread now? What is the point of this thread? I'm not asking you to predict the future. I'm asking you what you want it to be...

    Hey God, Why Us Anyway?

    I'd say its more of a conjecture, but whatever you'd like to call it. Are you suggesting that reality simply does not exist? It sort of seems to exist from my perspective. If there is a reality (and there is) and an omnipotent being is responsible for its existence (which it would have to be if...

    Hey God, Why Us Anyway?

    I suggest it would have desire for the one thing it does not have. Mystery. That's why I say an omnipotent being would most certainly destroy itself (or at least eliminate its omnipotence). Nothing else would ever alter its reality. Every other action it could perform is already performed an...

    What is God in General?

    The thing responsible for life, whatever that happens to be.
