You don't have to believe in any supreme being. What I find interesting is how often people who don't believe (atheists) feel the need to reduce people of faith to little more than child-like minds that believe in the Easter bunny or Santa Claus.

There are plenty of extremely intelligent human beings (by scientific measure) that have concluded that there most be some supreme being/creator. To dismiss them is to conveniently ignore that that overwhelming majority of the human race also believes in some type of faith system.

You don't have to believe in anything. But, to dismiss the majority of the human race and some of its most intelligent and gifted members in a single sentence or two is the real act of ignorance.

I don't want to publicly discuss this anymore, because I do not want to reduce my faith in Christ to a side-show designed by a troll on the rants and flames boards. If anyone, however, has a real question of faith or curiosity about what it is all about PM me and I will get back to you.

Two links for two fallacies, caveman. Let's talk about the lack of evidence in support of organized religion and not who and how many people buy into this nonsense.

I'd hazard that many of these "intelligent" and "gifted" members of the world were brainwashed with religion in the early stages of their lives. The fact that a majority of the world's peoples believe in one particular religion or another is proof of how firmly entrenched that brainwashing can be at an early age.

I have no problem with people that believe in religion - my wife is pretty religious, and I attend church with her occasionally. She's a very intelligent woman - but she went to church every Sunday growing up. There is no argument from a scientific perspective that will convince her that she's wasting her time. She has the trump card of "faith" on her side. And that's fine. Ultimately, her faith will benefit her, one way or the other.

If you die believing there's a heaven and you get in...fantastic. If not, and you're just worm food? You won't know any better, right?

By responding to those fallacious arguments you weaken your (my) position. Think harder.

Discuss.

I feel a little bit dumber having clicked on such a retarded thread. God doesn't believe in fantasy violence so your all going to hell.. Case closed

A couple of things...

You talk about beliefs and proof that something exists, yet you sit here from a computer and "talk" to people you have never seen, touched, etc. Just an observation...

Also, when the end of days come, and we all are confirmed this answer, would you not rather believe in God and chance that He might not be real, or don't believe in God and chance that He is real.

If my believing in God is a farce and there is no greater being, visceral or not, then I would have still lived a good life.

If, however, I live my life believing there is no God, and my end comes only for me to find out that there is, well...welcome to hell?

I don't understand people's need and desire to disprove something to everyone just for the kicks of it. This thread is not a rant, flame, etc...
