    The Monopoly of Religious Believers

    What you seem to be saying is that you are quite happy for an atheist to CHOOSE to do something, circumcision, blood transfusion etc but you are not happy for a believer to CHOOSE to do the same? If you have an issue with the act itself, why is it ok for one person to perform it and not the...

    The Monopoly of Religious Believers

    You seem to be confused as to what you yourself believe? Did you not say that atheists don't do what religious believers do? You then gave example circumcision and blood transfusion. I gave you example of atheists doing those things? Hence proving you wrong. The reasons behind the act are not...

    Reasons to not believe in God? Discuss....

    If I said to you "the sky is NOT blue" would you expect me to provide a reason for that? Maybe it's my scientific mind but "because I just don't" has never been a good enough answer to me. It is just as illogical and irrational as someone who as blind faith and fails to see that you can't prove...

    Reasons to not believe in God? Discuss....

    It's ok I'm not one of those believers who takes offence when people state the opposite point of view. I wouldn't be married to an atheist if I did. I agree with you...I think many believers have blind faith...nothing would sway them in their belief even if God himself was to tell them. There is...

    Reasons to not believe in God? Discuss....

    I think unicorns may have been an adaptation of rhinos (it would make logical sense with the horn on their noses) so technically they do exist..:) But seriously....there would be fossils or bones of some sort, as far as I am aware none of been found (I can't put this argument on God because...

    The Monopoly of Religious Believers

    It's difficult because I don't agree with your viewpoint... I know plenty of atheists who have undergone circumcision for various reasons? Do not confuse FGM with male circumcision, the two are VERY different. Actually a JW themselves deprive themselves of the right to life by refusing a...

    Reasons to not believe in God? Discuss....

    Sorry I don't see your point, I think you do need reasons for both...why would you not believe without a reason even if that reason is "I don't have any reason to believe" But everyone has a reason of some sort..... I have reasons to not believe in Islam or Bigfoot, I have reasons to...

    My husband is the most kind, generous, benevolent and moral person I know....he is an atheist. I'm a believer? :shrug:

    Could Jesus Have Been Simply a Fraud?

    :D that would have been good

    Could Jesus Have Been Simply a Fraud?

    I don't know if I agree with this but the argument for why there isn't that option is because all the apostles died/were killed in horrible ways, if Jesus never claimed to be the son of God or God...why didn't they just deny him to save their lives?

    Surely the world we live in proves there is no [loving] God.

    Just as an alternate perspective...there is a way God could make the world completely free of all problems a) wipe out mankind but he did that once and promised he wouldn't do it again (apparently) or take away our free will and make us into emotionless robots? I'm not sure I'd want to live as...

    Interesting...who are you referring to when you say two deities were made into one?

    Could Jesus Have Been Simply a Fraud?

    It's not really a direct answer to the OP and apologies if this has been mentioned before but have you heard of the following? Lewis's trilemma is an argument intended to prove the divinity of Jesus. It was the proposal of a trilemma (mentioned by others the previous century) that was...

    Reasons to not believe in God? Discuss....

    Yes I do think they can....the same way I can learn about my ancestors from reading their history. We very easily accept history, yet for some reason history when it comes to belief is rejected and we expect first hand experience. Granted belief has a lot more at stake then knowing who fort...

    Reasons to not believe in God? Discuss....

    That's what happened when what's his named claimed the world was flat instead of round? Or whoever it was that said the earth rotates around the sun and not visa versa. Knowledge has to have a start somewhere, you don't go from nothing to everything, some things take time. Take cancer...how...

    Reasons to not believe in God? Discuss....

    YEC? I must admit, that's the closest argument been made which has made some sense to me and I can understand it. The one thing I would say, is, could this not be down to humans again? If every human had accepted Christ and not rejected Him (remember people rejected him to his face!) if...
