I tiptoed from Christianity over to Theravada Buddhism. I believe that if there is a god, he is far too integrated into our reality or far too removed to be of a concern. The arguments did indeed help, as well as maturing up in my personal live to challenge things that don't hold water in modern...

I have been pondering how to compromise the beliefs of Religious and non-religious people. Religion holds more then just a way of life, but thousands of years of ancient wisdom. This ancient wisdom is one major motivator for people who seek the words of religious text. One cannot simply ignore...

When I was a christian, I believed that Jesus was just a man who was a cool guy in many respects. I still hold this view, though now I realize that I am an agnostic believer in Theravada Buddhism. I don't understand why there is so much ignorance.

That is so ignorant, people with do the shit they do or find a near substitute to that action with or without religion. Instead of having a crusade on religion, have a campaign to make people think at higher levels. Religion and belief in god does NOT equal the lack or reason, if you think that...

It wasn't an apple, it was only identified as a fruit. For all we know, it could have been a golden watermelon growing on a tree.

This thread is a fail. It is challenging views of people who believe that, it is not targeting atheists for abuse. There is a possibility that there are people that believe the quote that was mentioned, this is why in the link that you provided, the author included that. I hope everyone here...

What are you planning to do this Christmas? Be it giving gifts to the gods? Be it lighting candles and eating delicious food? Be it sitting and browsing the web? Playing games? Working? Woops this is Religion thread! So I ask you, how are you going to celebrate Jesus's birth?

Wow

Well then why not masturbate while at church?

I've been on here off and on, you probably just weren't forum browsing when I was posting. I may have unintentionally became defensive from the large amount on negative feelings that seem to be expressed here. My entire push for people like the people that browse these forums to pray and do...

I'm going to respond to all your questions with this: If you feel as though you have negative feelings toward the word prayer, I suggest you find another way to improve yourself. I really expected 100% of the respondents here to hold negative feelings toward prayer due to hate for theists. I...

The definition used here is: A fervent request. In this instance, you are praying to the idea of something bigger than you. The results are going to probably be in the form of unproved brain orientation toward your "prayed for" goals. If your afraid of praying just because you believe your above...

I never said that prayer could eliminate homosexuals, it can, however bring desirable personal results. You guys are so bias at the mere mention of prayer. If you don't think god exists, why are you so irrationally afraid of him?

I love how you show not only that you didn't read the paragraph I so kindly wrote for you, but you also and using classical atheist ignorant bias toward any mention of prayer. I said NOTHING about spiritual fulfillment, what I actually said can be found in the original post. This isn't about...

Prayer has long been something misunderstood not only by hard-on dedicated Christian, Muslim, and Jews, but also by supporters of these groups' antithesis. Prayer can easily be compared to a mantra or a personal dedication. Prayer to a Metaphysical god is sorely misunderstood as I said because...
