Believers,

[nailit]

is there ANYTHING that would make you think that you may be wrong?
And in the interest of equality, sceptics, is there anything that might make you think you may be wrong?

[Baldric]

No.

[RATTER15]

I doubt it, they became believers with absolutely no proof or reliable evidence, I doubt they are ever likely to change. Its called "faith"

[-SharonA-]

Nothing at all! I remain a non believer.

[douglas9401]

Nothing short of a hippie turning up at my door with bread, fish and water then entertaining everybody with unbelievable magic tricks including healing the sick.

[starone]

What? Moi? Wrong? I'm never wrong! How can you even suggest such a thing?

[naomi24]

A convincing argument would help.

[Khandro]

//is there ANYTHING that would make you think that you may be wrong?//

It's a bit of a dumb question (with respect). I believe and I can ride a bike, how could I make the supposition that something might appear which would make me believe I can't?

[naomi24]

Khandro, that’s a potty analogy. If you can ride a bike you can demonstrate that you can ride a bike. No 'belief' required.

It’s a valid question.

[RATTER15]

Khandro. Comparing your ability to something that is supernatural is hardly reasonable. You can demonstrate your bike riding skill but you can't anny God in a way that is believable.

[Khandro]

But I can ride a bike, and have no need to demonstrate the fact.

[naomi24]

Khandro, so what are you talking about?

[Peter Pedant]

Give 'em hell Khandro ....

Recent popes have been beset with doubts
I suppose it comes with the job

religious vocation has plummeted- numbers around 10% of fifty years ago
so ... fewer believers than previously

[douglas9401]

Khandro may be revisiting the cycle of irrelevant stupidity from earlier.

[naomi24]

douglas, you're a wag ... but I like you. ;o)

[baza]

No, even atheists have a faith ....that there is no God.

[Mamyalynne]

What one believes is exactly that - it does not give you the power to change others.

Be happy in your belief and that is good. Enough, life doesn't have to be a crusade.

[naomi24]

Baza, //even atheists have a faith//

You’re mistaken. Given evidence to the contrary Atheists would re-evaluate their conclusions. No ‘faith’ involved.

Mamyalynne, //What one believes is exactly that [faith]//

No. See above.

//it does not give you the power to change others. //

Reasoned argument has the power to influence others.

//Be happy in your belief and that is good.//

It’s not good when it impacts negatively upon the weak and vulnerable.

//Enough, life doesn't have to be a crusade.//

Tell that to the preachers.

If our world is to change for the better, what options do you have?

One choice is to believe that the world’s rulers and leaders will eventually become altruistic and start leading mankind into the ways of mutual tolerance, understanding, and peace. Can you see this ever happening?

[JollyJapes]

Why does it bother people so much if someone chooses to have a belief? Why do they have to prove themselves, If their belief brings them happiness and comfort. why should it bother you so much?
