What is not funny about it? It is not like it means anything, and it's not like God is real.

It's their choice to beleive, like your belief in science...

[InOne]

Yeah, but if they make a funny choice, it is our right to laugh.

The basis of science is silly too...a big bang happens out of nowhere and creates life

Christianity:

The belief that some cosmic Jewish zombie can make you live for ever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

Makes perfect sense really.

A lot of the bible is bullshit IMO, but it gives people something to believe in, gives their life meaning

Science may seem like it all makes sense, a lot of it doesn, but when you look outside the box you realise its just scientists giving meaning to things

Well the idea of a God itself is a contradiction. But you don't even need to go as far as that. Religion does a good job of making itself look stupid.

So what if it does? Theres nothing wrong with it (before you say it causes wars....Science created the Atomic bomb, science created the gun, science created a whole load of bad ****)

[Sticks]

Science and faith do not have to be mutually exclusive, however the subject of this thread is about Christians, so debates in general about Science and Faith should be on a separate thread.

People don't kill in the name of Science though do they?

Science is boring, Religion is funny.

InOne and LeatherTrumpet, this is why on another Forum where I am a moderator we have a no religion rule amongst the rules for posting on that board.

Such discussions can degenerate into personal attacks which both of you seem to have been doing to one another, and such behaviour can lead to bannings or suspensions on either that other board or this one.

Now I have contributed here, and as far as I am aware I did not use personal attacks. I may issue challenges to an argument, ask a poster a question or request a poster to be specific or asking if they take a particular position, which is fair debating style.

If you want this thread to remain, can we please have proper thought out discussion, not trench warfare.

Sorry, but I dont think you can level that at my posts. There is nothing unconstructive or personal in them. To gather me up with inone is incorrect. If you reread what I replied they do not correspond to your purple summary.

My only personal comment was that the poster had a poor grasp of Christianity and that was self evident from his posts.

The tone of your exchange as it came across to me seemed aggressive and confrontational, with such statements as "Go and read the bible". Such tones can be counter productive in any debate. This is my experience from my forays into the world of apologetics. Remember more flies are caught with honey than vinegar

Someone should write a book about this very moment.

Maybe then Sticks may be seen as some form of god in a few thousand years

Hello.

Christianity and Democracy cant go together.
Just saying.
Totally unrelated but it's true.

InOne, **** of my thread.

I created this topic for a mature discussion on Christianity.

If the only thing that you are capable of posting is "lol" and other nonsense like that, this is clearly not the thread for you.

I can post wherever I want. There is nothing mature about Christianity so why should we maturely discuss it? People who follow Christianity see themselves better than us, enlightened almost. I call it a delusion.

I have read the Bible, I have studied Christianity. Christians know it does not make sense, but they go on faith. You can't argue with faith, therefore you can never get through to a Christian

What part to you does not make sense, please can you be specific.

A man coming back from the dead. The contradictions in all the gospals when they tell of the birth of Jesus. The fact that the idea, of the son of god and ressurection is ridiculously similar to the Egyptian religions. Also the NT was written about 50 years after Jesus's death, and longer in some cases. What is in the bible today is what the Catholic chuch decided, why choose some gospals and not others?
