"i would hate to go to meet a couple to find their heads so screwed up that they had an imaginary friend who looked after them.would run for the door" Oh dear.Shame people feel the need to ridicule others belief's. If you do your research you'll find being Christian and religious aren't the same anyway. Try looking up respect whilst you're at it. | |||

Sometimes lack of imagination can be a big problem too. | |||

I prefer a mind open to the possibility of not always being right. I'm a Catholic and sometimes a Jedi, depending on my mood. | |||

I'm not debating the issue about the existence or non existence of God. I just find it rather distasteful that people would be so derogatory because they believe otherwise. Your opening gambit starts off by insulting people. I may be wrong but I haven't seen a Christian thread started insulting you because you're not one. Can you simply not manage your difference in opinion and belief? I disagree with lots of things people believe in or appreciate but it's not my business to tell them. | |||

There are plenty of scientists that retain a belief or openness to a god/god type thing. You could start with Brian Cox. | |||

"im not insulting anyone,surely if your belief is so strong,the views of a nobody are irrelavent. my point is if you want to believe a crazy theory like gods etc,you must expect people to question it. if there was any proof religion was the way forward,id follow.as it is i cant see anything to benefit my life by thinking a god is watching down on me. just remember everyone is born an atheist" Everyone is born an atheist, but they're indoctrinated at a very early age. It's difficult to not to believe in something that your parents or guardians have brought you up to believe is true. I've yet to meet, or even hear about someone who has "discovered god" in later life who hasn't been threatened, coerced or otherwise been forced to believe. Children are very impressionable. | |||

Just accept others feel different ? | |||

"The vast majority of you are Christian in your beliefs because your country, your ethics and your laws were, for the many, founded on Christian tenets. You may or may not believe(although a lot of you will silently pray when your life is upside down or terminal illness threatens your family-but you'll never admit it) but the whole fabric of your upbringing was founded on Christianity and the Bible.

Nobody, scientist or otherwise has any known proof of god/s. Anybody that believes they have the answer therefore is pretty stupid. If you were arguing only about religion there's a very strong argument that that it is entirely a man made construct. But to assume you can explain the unexplainable... who's the idiot? | |||

The principle is the same..ppl wil do / believe whatever works for them. No one says u have to agree or like it.. But u show ur character by the way you behave towards their choices. Personally id rather spend time with someone who is happy and open to ridicule in the name of something they believe in.than with ssomeone who feels the need to ridicule others for choices made just because they do not agree with them. | |||

No I was brought up as a Catholic (which is a very old strand of Christianity) (there are others!). I don't agree with a great deal of it. I don't believe in a great deal of it. I do see value in shared values with others. I like the idea that I don't have all the answers, and I like the idea there is more to life (and possibly death) than I know about. Lots of people don't agree with me, but we're all entitled to our views/hopes/beliefs. The only people I distrust are those that think they have all the answers. I also don't have a huge amount of time for people that assume they can make judgements based on absolute ignorance. | |||

It's only very recently that the majority of the population has been literate. For years only religious people could 'preach from the book'. Now people are more informed, more curious etc. but this is a very recent thing." Interesting concept and I agree. I guess I believe it's mankind's interpretations of religion that have always been the problem not the concept itself ? | |||

"Lots of seeking proof. My limited knowledge tells me that its lack is one of the points. Faith is needed. As to proof, there is no proof of evolution, the theory of relativity or man-made global warming. People are ridiculed for NOT believing in them. Not strictly true, there is visible evidence of micro evolution through bacteria and macro evolution through the fossil record " And relativity | |||

"i would hate to go to meet a couple to find their heads so screwed up that they had an imaginary friend who looked after them.would run for the door Oh dear.Shame people feel the need to ridicule others belief's. If you do your research you'll find being Christian and religious aren't the same anyway. Try looking up respect whilst you're at it. believe in the ridiculous ,prepare to be ridiculed. personally i like to see evidence and study it before coming to a conclusion. my daughter has a book about a small round blue man,wrapped up in bandages.all he does is bump into things.doesnt mean its true,just because i read about him You miss the point. I'm not debating the issue about the existence or non existence of God. I just find it rather distasteful that people would be so derogatory because they believe otherwise. Your opening gambit starts off by insulting people. I may be wrong but I haven't seen a Christian thread started insulting you because you're not one. Can you simply not manage your difference in opinion and belief? I disagree with lots of things people believe in or appreciate but it's not my business to tell them." | |||

That might argue that you could be born with faith or that those who have faith lack intelligence. I don't believe either is true.

"If you do your research you'll find being Christian and religious aren't the same anyway. Er, what? Ok, there are other religions so being religious does not necessarily mean being Christian. However, if you consider yourself Christian then you are, by definition, religious." I would argue that Christians are not religious...they're superstitious. Most of the world's other faiths are religious in some manner...but religion is somewhat thin on the ground in Christianity. Having said all of that I'm currently undecided as to who's nearer to God...Christians or Atheists. Christians are seriously misguided, which means even though they might have the right approach they're facing the wrong way. Atheists, on the other hand, are generally pointing the right way...but their attitude is so closed and dogmatic that it kinda suggests they're really unlikely to see God even if it was before their eyes. Hmmm (just adding to the color of this thread) | |||

"This for me ranks as one of the most interesting forum threads that I've read. Religion and politics seem to get the sparks flying wherever they get discussed! My thinking is that the sensual joy of people comes from us all being different and the more free thinking we are the more responsive to others needs? (just a theory) Science is the other S word that is fun to me. When ppl use science to support or otherwise faith they are really using scientific history. The joy of science and sex is that however good it is now the best is yet to be discovered. It doesn't stand still. Open minds seek more distant horizons don;t they? Be happy! " I like science too. I find it interesting that those that seem most convinced by both science and religion seem to understand them the least. | |||

Hmmm (just adding to the color of this thread)" Closed and Dogmatic?...do you honestly believe because people choose not to accept a Theist explanation for the natural world they are any less 'spiritual' in a secular sense. Smacks strongly of a particularly elitist smugness peddled by those who see themselves above the perceived materialistic world view of atheists. | |||

"Anything constructive to support that? " Is that a reaction to a perceived slight? If so you can keep your ego intact as I actually agreed with your earlier view. However if you're genuinely interested in what would lead me to my opinion you could begin by reading through the comments above and many of the previous discussions on the topics before this. Full of very definite assertions by people ignorant to how little we actually know about anything. | |||
