As insane as I think religion is, there would still be terrorism, even if it were not for religion. Although, true, there would be less.
EDIT: Something should be done...

Riiight... May I remind you some people REALLY believes there IS a superior being over there ruling us all? You're just contradicting yourself with "religion should be personnal" and this. You're taking this ranting occasion to try and dismantle religious beliefs of other people...
Don't take me wrong, though, I'm with you. Too many religious topics going in circle and spawning in the SD forum.
I wouldn't call it a contradiction. This is about putting a stop to all the threads about religion, and has nothing to do with weather peopel beleive it is personal.

That's not proof; that's just a vague generalization. It still doesn't back up your point as to why you think religion is a denial of facts. Now tell me, WHAt facts is religion denying? And give me specific points, not vague generalizations.
Technically, you cannot prove anything - you cannot truly prove that you exist, that the computer in front of you exists, that the floor beneath your feet exists, et cetera. It's all theory, you can only go by logical assumptions (par exemple: you can see, feel, smell, hear - sense - your chair, so it
probably exists).
Also, I don't think you quite understand the definitions of the words 'vague' or 'generalization.'

Oh ok so now you say it's a fact that religion is balony.
He didn't say that.

Religion is serious because first of all, "God" is not fictional. He's the creator of the universe and all of us. Secondly "The Holy Bible" is not a fictional story. It's a series of books written by many people thousands of years apart. It's a way of keeping track of event's/teachings.

Then either you should change the thread title to something else that isn't immature and make you look extremely stupid and take out your "rant" in the second part of the post. Because those are really what's making your post stupid and useless.
He's immature, and yet you're calling him stupid, and said this topic was 'retarded,' though we've since established that it is not. Nice.
QUOTE(MillenniumArmy)
But why just religion? What about all those other ones out there on SEN such as in the gaming forums. There are PLENTY of threads in which all are basically talking about the same games. Why leave those the way they are but not religion?
Honestly, it's because religion is
insane. You say that the universe was created
this way, and that life exists because of
this, and that everything works the way it does because of
this, even though it is just one extremely unlikely possibility out of an infinite number of others, and that you believe this because someone
told you so.
