Ok, Nohimn, I'll bite. If we can keep everyone else out of this, we can probably keep this thread from being locked.
You all think Hamma hates political threads, let's see how religion fares. I'll try
to just go down your post and not get off topic.

I think the greatest misconception (and nobody flame me for this pleaz) is that there is no logic behind god. I am an atheist, and I don't beleive in god. We are all taught in schools about proofs (especially in math and in science). We are done being 8 and accepting that (pi)r^2 is the area of a circle, we need proof to truely understand what (pi)r^2 means (though I find that a lot of people still don't know how to prove that). If you read the article about earth being flat, then you know that people are rejecting logic for faith (more like replacing logic with faith) and declaring science incorrect.

I agree that it is a misconception that there is no logic behind God. (Whether or not that's what you meant to say, I am uncertain, but it is what you said.) Many people do in fact try to replace logic with faith. They also try to replace science with strict faith (which is not the same thing as logic, but I don't want to get into that). It's here that they mess up. There is no proven science that disproves the existence of God. None. Take it from someone who ran from what the world considers "Christianity" in a search of the truth. Feel free to bring up any science you think proves that God does not exist and I'll refute it. One at a time please, I don�t want to have to reply using four pages at a time. All science does in fact is bring a person to agnosticism, which is the belief that it is impossible to know whether or not God exists. Read a Brief History of Time by Hawking and this will become clearer. If you want me to go into why this must be, say so, but I won't waste the space on what is already long post.

I cannot say that anyone is the anitchrist, because by my arguement, Christ does not exist (and don't say that Jesus did exist, because he did, but he wasn't christ according to my arguement). You can say I am the antichrist, but what can I be against if it is not there.

I'm assuming this statement is made in relation to the poll on this thread, so I'll leave it be.

The world is NOT flat because a human document said so. If holy document A said holy document B was wrong, and holy document B said holy document A was right, the flat-earthers would have a lot of trouble figuring out what the hell to beleive in. If they circle the globe, we will be hearing about how scientists are using "jedi mind tricks" to make the think that they rotated the earth.
"But the Bible says so" is not proper logic and people have trouble understanding that. I still don't accept molecular theory until it's proven (however, my classmates do, and when I ask my science teacher to prove it, he says "I'm a science teacher, not a scientist." I almost got kicked out of class for asking too many good questions.
So I conclude that this is the greatest misconception of mankind because there is no logic behind it, only blind faith.

I personally don't know of any religion's Holy Book that states that the Earth is flat, so, again, I'll assume that statement is for an example and will let it be.
"The Bible says so" is not proper logic, I agree; unless of course you believe it to be the Word of God, in which case it is. But you don't, so we won't even go there.
The entire point is that science doesn't disprove the existence of God. It just doesn't, and if you somehow believe that it does, then your views are biased to begin with. Science will only make you neutral, with the evidence leaning towards the existence of God, but with no repeatable proof, and therefore, nothing to stand on scientifically. There is no reason for faith to overtake science. They are working towards the same truth, and actually work hand in hand.
