If you state with one post that people will never know the answers to how the universe was formed then why be so dismissive about the idea of there being a god? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because there has never been and never will be even the smallest piece of evidence that a god exists or has ever existed. Not even a hint of the smallest idea of it.

Come on now. Surely you aren't being serious here?! If I write that there's a sentient slice of anchovie pizza with three faces and a horse's cock that lives on Jupiter that created life, does that make it true? Are we to move the Three Body Problem books from the non fiction section of shops and libraries? Because they, and all other works of fiction, are as 'real' as things like the Bible and other 'holy' books (albeit much, much, much better written and with far less plagiarism).

The bit between the two eyes looks suspiciously like stuffed pizza where the sauce goes above the toppings. Could be anchovy, could be sausage, could be spinach.

VincentGuerin Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) 2 hours ago, DA Baracus said: What about preachers/ministers/priests etc? They tell folk what to think and most of their audience believe it instantly. This is completely untrue. As someone who grew up with this stuff, that is absolutely not the case. Some will, but in pretty much any church after the service you'll have people discussing what they agreed with/disagreed with about what was said, and in general what they agree and disagree about in terms of theology. These disagreements can go on for weeks, months, years. But people just live with others having a different opinion. Some people will collar the minister if they're not sure about or just openly disagree with something he's said. Churches often have study groups etc where people get together and read/discuss issues. Disagreement is rife and nobody gets too worried about it. You'll find a range of opinions on any social issue you wish to name. In the UK I've never met a Christian who felt Christianity should have a real say in the law when it comes to things like abortion etc. I'm sure people like that exist, but they're not the norm. What you've posted here shows a real misunderstanding of how these communities work. Edited September 3 by VincentGuerin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When primitive tribes and people saw something they didn't understand and couldn't explain, they came up with the idea of a God to explain why things happened as they did, as that was the only answer they could come up with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I'm saying you should read it but with an open mind. You were doing so well with the "I'm religious and want to explain things" stuff too. Why would you read Exodus, a book that is in the Old Testament, a part of the Jewish Torah, and suddenly decide that Christianity was the answer? Surely if Exodus made your mind up, you should be Jewish. The story of the Exodus is of course also in the Qu'ran, so you might fancy converting to Islam? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't mean the literal story gave me faith. I'm not going to go into details to invoke more sniggers but the text I read resonated with my personal situation at that time. I already had basic understanding of Christianity but embarked on a course of study with an elder Christian friend. This is how many come to faith, i.e. hearing God's word speak to them.
