This debate is pointless there is no way this debate can go without racism or insulting other members...

And the debates start on monday...

i really fail to see why a book written by humans proves there is anything but great imagination. i mean, i know that religious people believe that the Bible was written by "divine inspiration," (the theory god told the authors what to write) but once again, how can that be taken as proof when there is no proof to support it in the first place?

also, like agentjon said, there are so many different religions out there; why are Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. any more correct than any other? you just believe in different things, which doesn't make either of you right to begin with.

take Greek Mythology for example: people thousands of years ago believed in Greek Mythology devoutly, just like a Christian would today. If you were to ask any random group of people on the street whether or not they thought Greek Mythology was even the slightest bit plausible, i guarantee you 100% of them say no. But why? Why is what they believe in any more real than what the Greeks believed in thousands of years ago? In a few thousand years, what are people going to think about religions today? In the future, they may sound as ridiculous to them as Greek Mythology does to you now.


I think everyone should watch this:

The reason so many people believe in God is because they are desperate. People will do anything out of desperation. People will even eat other people if they are hungry enough. Why is believing in something that gives them a false sense of immortality such a far-fetched idea?


Taken from the "What is your outlook?" thread.

well i tried, lol.

Are you saying no one will be offended by comments such as "god isn't real its just because people were desperate they made up jesus?" I'm not offended by elfmotat's post but this is far off from debating there is a reason Religion doesn't come up for the weekly topic for debating in a debate team or even in the real world... because we respect others decision to "be desperate for it." And yes... I am insulted by your rude comment, people do have civilized discussions for debate's but they also respect others opinions and come up with a logical come back instead of saying "shut up."

sorry if i do offend anyone. that's really not my intention at all.

its all god for me.
Like homer said on the simpions movie, i'll prey like hell on my death bed.

Nothing aginst you iTerm but WTF on the motion.

This topic could incourage racism.

Has anyone ever seen a million dollars...... Just because you havent seen it doesnt mean it doesnt exist.
