Religious Evidence

[jomifl]

Some members of AB's religious fraternity are very free with statements claiming that atheists insult or deride them and twist the words of the bible to support their(atheist) views.However when challenged to give examples they fall suspiciously quiet. If they cannot supply supportive evidence for things which they claim were written in the last few days, how can they expect anyone to believe their written version of events which allegedly happened 2000 years or more ago?

because they can see what's under their nose, apparently! ;)

[ummmm]

What makes me laugh are the ones of the religious fraternity who aggressively claim that the Atheists are aggressive. Instead of putting up a counterargument they concentrate on 'how' the Atheists type, and not 'what' they type....which obviously means they end up debating writing styles instead of the argument put before them.

The problem with religion is it is belief system
you either believe in something that cannot be prooved or you do not .
this is obviously a personal indevidual thing.
sadly for everyone religion is not content to let people have their own belief and leave it at that.
they have to try to convert you to believe what ever it is they believe.

if everyone was left alone and religion was as it is ment to be a personal and indevidual thing without the need to push it onto others then everyone would be much happier " i imagine "

Most of the atheists are as slippery as a cran of eels. They encourage people of sincere faith, but apparently limited intelligence, to twist themselves into knots while cutting + pasting. A more considered Jesuitical approach could yet work miracles.

[jomifl]

Kebab.. I have to admit that I didn't consider that point.

[sandyRoe]

From the religious fraternity, not from the atheists, I meant.^^^

[jomifl]

Sandy, only god works miracles, I thought you knew that, or are you being jesuitically disingenuous

[sandyRoe]

God's grace might be channelled through one of his humble servants. Then the servant might appear to be the miracle worker, but we'd know where the power really lay.

[naomi24]

The real power lies in religion's power to instil fear and guilt into the gullible.

[jomifl]

Sandy, answer wanted please, because I don't do miracles.

[sandyRoe]

Padre Pio miraculously bore the stigmata within living memory. Must have been painful for him, but a miracle none the less.

[sandyRoe]

I mention a miracle and you use cut+paste to try and discredit it. You should know that cut + paste has been abused so much that it has a bad reputation here in R&S.

[jomifl]

I'm shocked Kebab.. Do people do things like that? Who would they expect to fool apart from the naive, gullible, and intellectually challenged? Ah.. Ok got that.

[jomifl]

Sandy.. it seems as if the RC church has already discredited it.

[sandyRoe]

They recently abolished the Tridentine Mass, well in 1962. I'm sorry to have to say they don't always get things right.
