I think it is a hoax, as l am go for more of the scientific evidence.  They had this show on about moses and the israelites crossing the red sea and how much they exagerated it was very interesting if you see an add for it l suggest you watch it but sorry l forgot the name of it.

They found on some ancient buildings (that were where the jews supposidly were) writings that say that egyptian farmers and peasents were there or something I don't really know, this aiethest friend of mine told me the other say maybe I should ask him where he read it from.

just because the houses that they though belonged to the hebrews were not as they thought doesnt mean that they were not there. that just rules out one of the locations that they could of been at.

Atheist Wager is the best. Since wikipedia has to keep nuetral, they listed a few flaws on it. And the flaws are barely flaws. They're flaws because it's relying on a couple assumptions. You know, assumptions. Something faith is soley based apoun.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atheist%27s_Wager

If God does for some strange reason, use a judgement system that doesn't tell everyone alive the verdict, only those that are dead. (Which defeats half the purpose right there) It wouldn't base it's self on faith. It would base it's self on wether or not that person lived a good life or not.

You see, almost every religious argument around here comes down to people questioning wether or not there is a god in the first place.

But I'll go make a thread for that. I havn't made one in almost a year I believe.

Read the story about Sodom. It says that God is against homosexuality.

ugh these kind of threads will keep coming up after getting closed again and again...

But, I think I posted on a last one that Bible is bunch of lies and falsehoods since religion is only to be believed on FAITH not SCIENCE. And because they should be kept secret, why bother touching the subject? The religion is only giving lights to old or sick that are going to die. What bad can that do?

Stop relating religion to science. It doesn't work that way. When you guys were comparing religion with science, you're basically comparing Starcraft with Counterstrike or Apples with Oranges or Math with History.

Yes you can relate Science/Evolution with creationism. But religion isn't about creationism; it's about teachings and morals. Stop getting the two confused.

Yes. The Bible is a hoax. A hoax to get people to do good deeds and have a purpose in life. What an evil act.

And to bring about the crusades which lead to a corruption in power which lead to the reformation which lead to many other wars.

A good deed indeed.

there would be just as many wars if christianity and the bible did not exist. its human nature to wage war.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by MillenniumArmy on 2005-12-20 at 23:04:27
It's human's ability to twist and corrupt things that lead to war and violence. The Crusaders back in the old times twisted the teachings of the Bible, believing they have the right to rampage on towards jeruselum and capture it. Religion has done more good than bad.

That's not true. Nobody follows the morals of religion anymore, they just follow the religion. Nothing worse than having an argument with a religious fanatic, who just blatently flamed you, end his post with 'Peace, and God Bless!' (A different forum)....

Appeal to population. A lot of people saying the samething doesn't make it true. Otherwise, the earth would still be flat.
This is probably true, but you left out the more important part. The people who beleive it to be 100% true believe evolution books to be 100% false, which is even more ignorant considering the evidence. (Don't turn this into evolution debate seriously)
Tons of people have already stepped out. Many people choose to close their minds to these people so they do not shatter their faith.
How do you preserve a "modern" religion of we say every single human died except 50 babies who took care of themselves to maturity, and all evidence pointing to any religion were destroyed?
True until the last portion. If it hasn't been "disproved" (partially) yet, that doesn't mean it won't later. Once again, I go to my flat-earth analogy. It wasn't until centuries before someone finally came forward and proved that the earth was not flat.

Earth... Flat? When was this ever true?

On that same subject,
the bible actually suggests the bible is round before anyone ever proved it true.

Proverbs 8:27-when he set . . . depth--marked out the circle, according to the popular idea of the earth, as circular, surrounded by depths on which the visible concave heavens rested.



Isaiah 40:22-It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in

This is not always correct. People can be very, very religious and still be complete jerks. Nowadays, they aren't taught together.

Which brings me to another point. Morals can be taught without religion. Teaching a religion without morals is useless.
