These religious people are crazy.

To get it strait again, i have no problem with peoples religion and beliefs, just like peple should have no problem with my beliefs. Im scared to write this, but i dont believe in God, nor a heaven or hell. I believe Jesus was a real man, as moses and others, But i do not believe in the fortold stories about them.

Think about it, after thousands of years, dont you think that the stories would get embellished a LITTLE to make them sound better? And how were thing passed around back then? Word of mouth, so it could have been greatly embellished. ( And turning water into wine isnt hard....All you hafta do is get 2 buckets, 1 water, 1 wine, and dilute the wine inot the water, then you will have 2 buckets of diluted wine.) Im not trying to offend anyone with these comments.

But a while back i was outside my house and two Mormons came up to me and asked me " Do you believe in our Savior?" i said "No" and the said they felt sorry for me.. Why? Its my beliefs, you dont hear every Athiest saying that they feel sorry for people that are religious...

LOL these comics have to be some of the funniest **** ive ever read. emphasis on "****" the D&D one cracked me up. there is some reality there but its blown out of proprtion.

the only one I dident get was The 2nd Evolution one.

It says that glutons were "A made up dream Noone has seen or mesured them". yet jesus (who people have seen and mesured, holding together molicules) holds all molicules into place.
not to make fun of anyones beliefs. Im just pointing out that they say one thing is wrong because its not proven with a belief thats not proven either.

That depends on point of view... if you put your faith in science chances are you will take in theories from science before religion. If you put your faith in a religion, chances are you will take in theories from religion before science. If you believe in science, you are willing to go out and claim scientific theories are true (going as far as saying you know they are true) without seeing what you believe in for yourself. If you believe in God, chances are you are willing to go out and claim religious theories are true (going as far as saying you know they are true) without seeing what you believe in for yourself.

Interesting isn't it?

Have you ever thought of how many people there are in the world who know the world is round without going to outer space or traveling around the world themselves.

Just think about it.

For me faith = naivety. I don't get the concept of believing something just because other people do.

People don't have faith in science. They don't need to. There are proofs and theories based on facts that people can base their beliefs on. No need for blind acknowledgment like in religion. I don't say that all that comes from science is 100% accurate. But at lest they have something.

lol.. you need to listen to yourself.

Faith is the belief in somthing without questioning it, thus this thread will hurt my faith in certain areas, and yours in others.

Remember that the base subject of this thread is evolution, somthing no man has been alive long enough to witness take place for themselves (especially within thier own species), yet every man seems to have there own ideas about. If you had no faith, you wouldn't believe in anything anybody tells you until you tested it out or seen it for yourself... and if you have accepted anything scientific as fact you are just as naieve as any other person.

*this reminds me of older threads*

Theories based off of facts? What makes something a "fact" besides your own personal acceptance of it as a fact? The only fact that anybody can ever prove is their own existence and emotions, period. Everything else is faith. If you would like I can dig up examples.
