Whoops. I thought I remembered someone making this thread already.

boooooooo no one cares

[quote=looooooooool]SMH.

1. [b]My religion is A FACT. SMH.[/b]
2. No suicide bombers are just carrying out what they believe is their God-given duty, and the deaths of others are just a necessary sacrifice.There's a difference between people who hijack planes in the name of their god and people who murder just for the lulz. SMH.
3. I'm not forcing anything. I'm just trying to enlighten people to the truth. Leave it to people like you to call an act of kindness and selflessness "shoving your beliefs down their throat". SMH.

The inability of people in this thread to spot a certain troll is mind boggling.

[quote=Laviathan]@ReLaX: no, agree to disagree means your not stupid enough to fall for flame bait and get attacked by a bunch of atheist who are hungry to prove the thousands of ways Christianity is wrong.[/quote]

No, you just stay away for that.

Okay look. The bible consists of multiple gospels written from multiple different people surrounding Christ. Now a better question would be, "Who choose these specific gospels to be our holy book? Why not Gospels by Mary Magdaline or other Saints at that time?"

*Facepalm*

With the Bible's plot holes, I would hardly believe an "All-knowing deity" would make so many plot holes.

[quote=Laviathan]Please just close this thread...
I'm a Christian, but the majority of basil is atheist, so I don't feel like. Getting my feelings hurt..
Lets just agree to disagree.[/quote]

Agreeing to disagree is for gullible people who has no reason to believe, and therefore has to avoid an argument.

What is the question?

@peter1001: I didn't intend to troll/bait but yeah that's pretty much what we're doing

[quote=looooooooool]@klu180:

1. How am I closed-minded? If someone believes that 2+2=5, and I tell them that 2+2=4 not 5, does that make me closed-minded for rejecting his belief/assertion? Same thing here, I'm just trying to open your eyes and help you shed light, but all you do is attack me and insult my religion. Really, I don't even care that you insult me, but when you insult my religion and my beliefs that's going too far...
2. Sure your joke may not have directly attacked God but it indirectly did. Sure, you have a the right to make jokes, but when your jokes infringe on my beliefs, those "rights" no longer apply. And just because you intend to do something doesn't make it ok to do; I'm sure that suicide bombers don't intend to kill anyone, that's just a necessary sacrifice for their beliefs. Does that make it right for them to hijack a plane and kill hundreds of people? No.
3. You can read any book you want. I'm just trying to help you see the light and embrace Jesus and the Lord. Obviously you're too far in the dark for me, or anyone for that matter, to help you.[/quote]
1. 2+2=5 is not correct. 2+2=4 is correct and is factual. It's impossible to prove that 2+2=5 because 5 is the symbol we use to represent the quantity of "5" things. Same with 4(obviously). Therefore 2 things plus 2 things would equal 4. Duh. So the person that thinks 2+2=5 is completely wrong and you're not "rejecting his belief." Because 2+2=4 is a fact. What are we in, preschool?
2.. It's a joke learn to live with it. Also suicide bombers most likely intend to kill people.
3. Forcing your beliefs down other peoples throats isn't the right thing. You're mad about him disrespecting you, and you disrespect his beliefs. Logic.

What the hell kind of question takes 2 minutes to ask?

religion should be destroyed
spirituality and belief in higher powers aren't bad, but religion has served to corrupt those ideas and create toxicity/barriers in society.

@Criticism: I didn't bother to watch the video. I'm just saying in general

@looooooooool:
1. Yes in fact you are being closed minded. In your example you attacked another person's beliefs. You don't need to believe the other person's belief but you shouldn't attack them for their belief it different. And shed light on me? I already admitted that I am human and that I, or anyone else (including you) wouldn't know the truth. The only one who knows the truth is the higher being (no offense to atheists or someone who doesn't believe in a higher power)
2. I give up. [b]I made a freakin joke, I did not insult God, get over it[/b] If you want to get mad over someone's joke about religion, complain to Fox for Family Guy or Comedy Central for South Park. If you believe they could make religious jokes than I can too.
3. You are in the dark as well. You keep saying the Lord and Jesus. Well guess what, Christianity has (approx) 2.1 billion followers. There is over 7 billion people in the world. Learn that not everyone is Christian. Stop shoving things down people's throat and learn that there are other belief's

You keep saying you're not closed-minded but trying to get me to "see the light" is as closed-minded as you can get. You try to make me believe something I don't believe. Have I tried to convert you to something? No? Okay then. As I tried to get through to you before, you can not tell me or anyone else for that matter who is right and who is wrong.

My jimmies where hardly rustled

I doubt you're being serious, from your name, but if you are, you're stupid.

[quote=Demonlord]Is it about the banana?[/quote]

...
The banana?

@looooooooool:
1. How are you going to tell me I'm an atheist? You're clearly implying that there is only Christianity and atheism. How closed-minded is that? How about Hinduism, Buddhism, or the other 100's of religions in the world? Oh wait, I forgot..you're closed-minded.
2. My joke didn't even mention God in it. Sure you guys were talking about God and a joke isn't the best place for that but still..I have the right to make jokes and the joke doesn't even talk about God. I didn't insult God nor did I have the intention to. Get over yourself.
3. Cause everyone is a Christian and believes in the Bible and God. How are you going to tell me or anyone else that "If you read the Bible it's so obvious that God created everything; I don't understand why you people are too ignorant to understand that. It is literally written out write in front of you." Why don't I just read the Torah and the Qur'an (not the best examples for I believe they also write how God created everything) or some other holy book of some religion. You're also being closed-minded to people who believe in science, not any religion.

I'm not saying Christianity is false. I could be wrong. Anybody could be wrong. [b]But you are not the one to tell me who is right and who is wrong. I did not attack your religion. You just made things bigger than it needs to be[/b]

@ThatBox: I may very well be sir. I may very well be

[quote=klu180]@looooooooool: [b]Learn to take a joke[/b] I'm not trying to make fun of God. I'm only human. I don't know everything. God could be real or not. Can anyone be certain what started everything? No, they can't. If you say God, then clearly you need to be "a little more open-minded." I'm not even an atheist[/quote]

I think you may be getting trolled.

@looooooooool: .....I never said God was a Chinese sweat-shop worker. God could've inspired the creation of the computer but the sweat-shop workers made it..........like my computer does say "Made in China"

"Who made the computer you're using?" Obviously some Chinese sweat-shop worker.

What if there never was a war. That completely blows your premise into bite sized pieces, which I will now eat. Goodbye.

wow that was a lot of questions. i came for one. -_-

[quote=yennox]Okay, after watching the video, I am convinced that God exists.[/quote]

yes, but which one?

No, Atheism didn't get destroyed by that question >_> Both religion and atheism pretty much shows how stupid both sides are, to even start the debate wether or not a [b]FAITH/BELIEF[/b] is true or not. It's called [i]believing[/i] for a reason. Atheists and religious people destroyed themselves in just engaging in stuff like that, wether 1 or 1000 questions are asked.

With that said, I am atheist.

Your a banana and I'm a dolphin

aren't you the guy whose friends keep trying to force their christian ideas upon you? o.o

Okay, after watching the video, I am convinced that God exists.

Can we just not do this

He says that the question of whether God exists or not has been asked for [i]millions[/i] of years. Oh, the irony.

Oh boy, here we go.
