If a discussion about religion is so offensive to you what are you doing reading these threads - it is after all the Politics, philosophy and RELIGION forum.

The earth exists because we can see and feel it The sun exists because we see it and get heat from it. We exist because we are of solid form. Oxygen exists because without which we would not be able to breath. God only exists in imagination, because it can not be seen, touched, communicated with, and we only have unproven folklore written hundreds if not thousands of years after any event that was considered to be anything god-made. Has anyone come back from the dead to prove existence of god? You might say Jesus, but the thing with crucifixion and death 'on the cross' is that the person never actually died from the crucifixion themselves; they died of dehydration and birdlife attacking them for food. Jesus was more than likely pulled down in a state of unconsciousness on the 3rd day, taken to one of the houses nearby and resuscitated, where later he was seen by someone who thought that he had died and returned. Either that, or the whole thing is a myth and the resurrection fable is just something to give Christians hope that there may be something for them. He was a man, nothing more. So unless someone can physically die and return from the dead WITHOUT MEDICAL INTERVENTION, then I'll just take the whole thing with a grain of salt and suggest we all move on.

Fanatical atheists are more destructive to political boards than christians are. The same goes for socialists.

I'm a former atheist myself, but when I see how some atheists debate I'm not exactly proud of it.

I actually can't think of a more relevant question to our lives than knowing whether or not God exists. So many people feel that their lives are adding up to nothing, and feel an emptiness and hollowness that they just can't seem to fill. They lack purpose, and they find it uneasing. All we know is that we are born, we live a short while, then we die. What then? Where do we go? We're a strangely unique biological specimen. Are we doomed to just be wasted? Knowing where you came from, where you are going, and what your purpose is all provide a strong sense of identity for a person, an identity which you can feel lost without.

All sorts of interesting creatures are "wasted" every moment. Humanity is not all that special.

So, what in particular is being debated here?

Nothing.

One of the worst posters on the board decided to leave in a hissy-fit because he'd been debated into a corner and had no other way to escape the forum with his dignity. Unfortunately for him, his hissy-fit had the general coherence of an acid trip and now everyone's just laughing at him harder.

Then another one of his fellow Christian-bashers decided to stink up the topic with his pedantic angsthiest bullcrap.

Nice meeting ya skafather, its been nice debating all those points with you and all the more reason I think you need to meet people who maybe do have a degree of faith but aren't as obsessed about heaven, hell, gays, stem cells, heathens, anti-drug, comformity, and all that lock-step conformist stuff that seems to really make the word 'God' taste like arse on your lips.

Christianity is a relationship with Jesus Christ, not a religion. I don't know why you're so mad. Dawn
