I do not beleive in Religion at all. My parents never had me choose a religion and through readings I see so many contradictions in all religions that I found it better to just live life and let stuff happen. To many religions now days are hippocritical of each other and WoW Jesus was nailed to a cross, many people in his time during the roman empire were nailed to crosses it was very common back then. And yes for being in a coma instead of dying is very capable. Huge loss of blood can cause you to go into shock then go into a coma which would slow your heart beat now to a near stop and would slow the bleeding thus you would still be alive and not die. And how do you know it was really him that came back? You weren't there and how do you know it wasn't some scam to make the people more loyal to there government. For all you know it could have been an alien and all that great stuff you read in the bible was Aliens. I am very open minded and thats why I don't beleive in Religion b.c it controls you and doesn't allow you to be very open minded with out shunting your beliefs and being cast from your religion.

I think that it is really unfair that your parents carve out your religionous beliefs. If it were up to me as a parent, i would let my children believe what they want to believe (unless it was something that wasnt a good thing). But i think parents are arrogant in what they do a lot of the time.

You can't force somebody to believe/not to believe in something, blu. Besides, a child's future is shaped by their genes and their enviroment. When I say enviroment, what I mean are things such as how their parents teach the child.

Demos: Family first, Country 2nd. Believes in god.

Believing in God(s) is becomming a huge joke now. I doubt many people take believing in non-existant things very seriously. If God exists, I want it proven before I can believe anything. Even if the whole world said God existed, I wouldn't believe it unless they can prove it to me.



Well all the US "In God we trust" and stuff is bull censored.gif . Replace 'God' with 'money' and it makes more sense. They put God on their censored.gif ing money, proving that it makes perfect sense to all you people who think I'm wrong.

They should really take put Under God in the money and the Pledge thing and stuff. =\

I am glad that my paresnt let me believe what Iw anted to. I did some research, and decided to be atheist, it makes complete sense to me. My grandparents wanted me to be jewish, and my Uncle I think wanted me to be Christian, but tongue.gif

QUOTE(High @ Jan 18 2005, 01:16 AM)
Ima a christinan, but i know that half the stories in the bible are total bull. For me, religion is about how you live, not how you die.

All those stories were written so that dumb peasents could get some grasp of understanding about the morals and values of the religion. I mean, how would you believe more, some poor guy who talks to people telling them what to do, or some guy that can part seas with his rod? See my point

What many people do (both the regligious and the athests, including many people on this site) is that they take everything literally, Jesus was probally in a coma or something and Lazurus was probally just knocked out cold. Get me?

If there is an afterlife, thats a bonus

High, you must be seriously, seriously high on meth, lsd, crack, ect.

how can you call yourself a christian, but say that half the stories in the bible are total bull?

what you said towards the end outrages me. Lazarus was dead for FOUR DAYS. Lazarus was not "just knocked out cold."

and secondly, there is no denying, even by aethists, that Jesus died. the debate is over whether he rose from the dead. Jesus, in a coma? sheeya right! He was on a cross! cruxifiction! he suffocated to death-after spending a good 9-10 hours on the cross. thats how the majority of cruxified prisoners died--they suffocated because they're hanging from thier arms and cant suppor themselves. on top of that, Jesus was stabbed by a spear from a Roman guard--he would have died from blood loss if he handed died of asphixiation.

and the afterlife "bonus" this is just horrible--being a christian isnt about fire insurance, if you "Get me?"
lastly, when you say that:

If you were nailed to the cross, would you have survived and just be put into a comma? Don't think so


Stranger things have happened...,

i'm confused. you seemed to have said that you dont believe in moses parting the red sea, but you claim that stranger things have happened. i'm confused.

Hmm? It's like an apple saying it's an orange because he likes the color better. That doesn't make him an orange.
I may be judging him...but he's giving me a bad name. I'm not a christian just cause it makes me look like a better person, and I do not like people who are christians (or pretend to be) so that people think they are better. I fail to see any logic in that.

i see what your saying, and i agree. i just thought that its not our purpose to pass judgement, but you may do as you wish.

i also agree with "i do not like people who are christians (or pretend to be) so that people think they are better."
but what bothers me more is when christians use thier faith as fire insurance.

How about the miracles that Jesus performed? What are the chances of EVERY SINGLE STORY OF THE BIBLE be mistranslated? After all, all your beliefs are based on "chance"... "chance of big explosion" "Chance of intelligent human life" "chance of evolution" "Chance of having advanced technology"

How about some proof that God isn't real. I want to hear some (Don't ask ME for proof first, after all it's you that want us to change, not we that want you)

uh...
i'm confused.

let me quote a widely known bible verse:
QUOTE(Mathew 28:19 (New Living Translation))

Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, batizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit


what johny said there is wrong...we want you to change because we want the best for you and because, bluntly, we were commanded to.

and John, i think they'll say that the miracles of Christ and the prophets are false and illogical, and since there is no physical viable proof of them happening in modern times, and therefore, if such things wont happen today, then how could it have happened over 2000 years ago?

correct me if i'm wrong, but i thats the general aethist argument--or atleast thats the way i've understood it.
