Agreed.
3rd times a charm. So one more thread like this by "mrl33tduck" then there's going to have to be a "l33t" boot up his "l33t" ass....

I don't think it sucks.

Well ok, it doesn't "suck" per se.

But there's 3 things you never debate with friends and family.
1. politics
2. religion
3. ..... uuhh

Ok ok, so 2 things you never debate with friends and family...


A debate about religion is just going to eventually turn to a flame-fest. And therefore the "sucks" comes into play....

[321]

I don't think it'll always turn into a flame-fest. And I don't really think it's a debate about religion anymore.

I must agree, go read the political debate area on these forums and count the ones that *didn't* become a flame fest, out of the whole archive of posts if you can get more than a 1 digit number...that would be suprising...

They are just saying what they think is right its not flaming.

yeah but naturally most humans have the tendency to become hostile towards others who disagree..dunno why, just in our nature

it's to defend their opinion. all humans have a set of assumptions about the world, and we also hate to be proven wrong. hence, when someone challenges our assumption, we defend it vicariously.

Make not vain repetitions. 'Nuff said.

Look it up in your precious holy book.

Catholicisim != biblical x-ianity.

I feel that each person has their belief system and that it's their right to have it. What gives me the right to go and try to convert somoene over to my religion anyway? It's the same God. Same religious document (the Bible). We may look at it a different way, but it's still the Bible. More wars have been fought over "God" than any single thing in this world.

Saying your religion pwns his/her religion is just ignorant. Live your religion; don't worry about anyone elses. If this offends anyone who reads this, please flame on. It's my opinion that matters to me. I'll listen to arguements, but don't call me ignorant for believing the way I believe.

You know, I've always found it interesting how people who believe only in science insist that religious people are afraid of death.

Shouldnt the sci-guys be afraid of death? I mean, according to science, the only thing that makes "you" is your brain. Your brain ceases to function when you die. All those electrical sequences that once made up youre personality and thoughts and memories are GONE. YOU no longer exist, anywhere, anytime, in any dimension.

I dont know, but that sounds scarier then the average Joes version of Hell, no?

One more thing, I have no idea why people are using "science" to defend their cases with such zeal. Look close enough and you can find almost as many loopholes in science as you can in any religion. People who accuse other of having blind faith while they themselves are blindly following something that they believe to be right (ONLY because others told them so, as well) are the worlds largest hypocrits.

So in conclusion, no, Onizuka, you are not right. No, Kaikou, you are not right. In the end the Universe is something so messed up no human brain can truly comprehend its infinite complexity.

Im wondering how you can ask such dumb questions. Again, i dont understand why god did anything, its like a microbe trying to understand the inner workings of our brain. Why? I dont know, but i do know where we are now.
