Ya, well I agree, stereotypical Christianity is just like that, but I'm not one of those types of Christians. No one ever is. I've spoken to thousands of people about religion, and almost universally they have said that other people read other things into the Bible beyond what's there, but they onl...

BTW, great discussion everybody. You're not just cementing each others beliefs. You're really making some headway here. Keep regurgitating stuff you've seen elsewhere, and act like you're a genius prophet. In 50 more pages, we might be able to crack the mystery of life. Then we can report it to the...

If Hell is real, then all my friends will be there. Heaven isn't the ultimate paradise without my friends, and thus I do not want to go to Heaven if my friends are not there. ;) That's actually one thing that does puzzle me quite a bit, but I believe that somehow, God will make it okay, I have no c...

But, then again true Christianity is one of the few "religions" in the world that, at it's roots, doesn't have rules or anything that says you have to "please God". Christianity is one of the most ridiculous religions in the world, because everyone interprets, and re-interprets ...

If you want to find proof that God exists, you have to think outside the box, which really isn't that hard to do, in this case. Otherwise, I just think some people want to disprove God because they don't want to be wrong, their ego won't let them. It's called blind arrogance and a lack of humility. ...

Just to try and make this thread a bit more entertaining; another attempt to throw some logs on the fire... Rkiver, clearly The Daemons doesn't understand the Bible or know what a real 'Christian' is, so why continue to argue with him? Now, he does know what it means to be a Christian in the sense ...

How would this make you feel...to love someone, and in return, they deny that you even exist? Thats actually an interesting idea, God earns my compassion, how cute is that? Really, i thank you for this, never thought of it. You're actually completely correct, God does earn your compassion. But I ge...

[..] but God tells us in the Bible [..] Above everything else, I always find this point to be the most hilarious of them all. How can you possibly believe that -- within a world of different times, shifting cultures, different 'people in power' -- a book that has been in existence for some 2000 yea...

The Daemons, you are a religious fundamentalist, and as such I cannot take anything you say seriously as you have not backed it up with any credible source or evidence. You spout absolute rubbish that is not backed up by anything, attack scientific principles with no evidence to back up your positi...

The Daemons... You suggest that if god doesn't exist how can we be having this conversation but I'm not sure what you mean by this - do you mean something has to exist for it to be discussed? You also ask how can people say god doesn't exist when we haven't even scratched the surface of our own uni...

Umm, dude...eternity means outside of time: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/eternal Outside the bounds of time. So how can you say it doesn't exist when we haven't even scratched the surface of our own universe, let alone any other possible parallel universes? Likewise, how does it make sense to e...

HOLY CRAP. are you talking about THE game?!!?

Yes, that's right...THE GAME!!!! Which I just lost again for the second time today, thanks to this thread.

Well, you're probably not as into it as I am. My friend got me started on it and, when I finally got my copy of the Orange Box on Xbox 360, I was hooked. I'll admit that I'm not "into" the story as much as you are, that's a given and thus far been the core of our discussion. However, that...

Look at nature, or better yet, the Human body...are you seriously going to sit and tell me that this all happened by accident? ... Suppose there wasn't a God. Do you really want to just cease to exist? Or would you rather go on living spiritually in endless paradise after you die? I'm pretty sure t...
