I think people shouldn't hate others
I think people shouldn't hate others because of their religious beliefs or lack there of.
Can't we all just get along?
Really?

To the above commenter this is #14.
first of all people who believe in evolution believe in a totally unproven and impossible concept. Their dating systems are wrong for one. The earth isn't billions of years old. It's only thousands of years old. And second where are the millions and millions of missing links that should be lying around this planet? Come on dinosaurs, according to evolution, lived millions of years before man and we have their fossils and remains. How is it that we don't have the remains of transition apes? To be sure not all the species going through the transformation finished and became human. Also explain why evolution is not still taking place being that there are both apes and humans still alive. How is it that apes survived, humans survived but the transitional forms have no remains or living representatives. And that's just the tip of the iceberg of unanswered questions that evolution will never answer. If this earth last another 200 years people will look back on this era and call evolution the best magic trick ever. But Christians on the other hand have tons of proof that God and Jesus Christ exists. First of all the Bible itself is proof. Through out history many literary works have been distroyed and wiped out, with the only proof that it ever existed being references to it by other writers. But the Bible was written by over 40 different authors over a span of 4000 years and it falls perfectly in line from start to finish. Our US Constitution has only been around for a couple hundred of years and the one we have today would be unrecognizeable by the original authors. But if the original writers of the Bible read it today they would easily recongnize it. Another point is that the dislike for the Bible and Christianity is nothing new. It's been going on since Christ ministry began and dispite all the attempts of the worlds most powerful governments to destroy it and it's influence it's still alive and well. Not to mention the Bible is by far the best selling book ever. The Bible has been printed, translated, and sold more than any other book ever 20 times over. And these are just facts about the Book itself. Not to mention there's not one known scientific fact that contridict the Bible, and with every new archeological discovery the Bible is being proven to be true. I also didn't mention the many different scientific facts that are mentioned in the Bible (radio wave, ocean currents, the hydrolic cycle, medical knowledge about the human defense system and the blood stream, plate techtonics). I could go on and on about all the different proof we Christians have that God exist. We Christians have faith that God will handle the problems we face in life and that if we follow him the we will get an eternal reward in heaven. But we don't have faith that he exist. We know he exist without a doubt.
And as far Scientist being convinced about life outside earth is irrelevant. Who cares if they are convinced. It's all theory. And going by your atheist belief if you don't have proof then it doesn't exist. And they don't have not even the smallest amount of proof that water exist outside of earth much less actual life. And once again the Bible tells us that life doesn't exist outside of earth.
As for them being able to cure a bunch of other illnesses with the human body explain why every medical drug that's out on the market has more side effects than the actual problem it's supposed to cure. You can take a pill for one thing but it has the possibility to give you 4 other problems and the possibillity of death. That's because we really don't understand half of the concepts pertaining to the human body. Our advances are minor. And the little that we do know God has revealed to us simply so we don't become extinct.
As for non believers having morals there's a lot more to having morals than not stealing or ** or killing at will. It also pertains to not lying or being two faced. Not having ** before marraige, not having abortions, not enjoying two beautiful women kissing each other. See that's the problem, we as humans tend to only equate what we want to as moral and what we want to as not moral. For instance a child molestor is a immoral person but a person who gets drunk and sleeps with some woman the first night he meets her is just acting normal. I say we because we are all guilty of this in one form or another. But the Bible is clear and unchanging in what is moral and what isn't and that's what turns people off to the whole concept of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.
Oh and about traveling to Mars. It would be just as useless to the human society as our travel to the moon. That money can be much better spent on earth.
1st commenter here...
#2 - I'm still agreeing with you. I'd love to buy you a beer and talk about ... whatever! But, boy! You sure make it hard to like you. LOL
If you want... I'll take that bet. ; )
(Yes. of course I've been wrong before)
#14 - Where do I even start?
Yes, the common cold eludes us, but what of the thousands of other amazing medical advances man has made?
Non-believers have no morals? Really? I don't steal, ** or kill at will.
Who says the only planet fit for life is Earth? Scientists are convinced that there are thousands of others capable of sustaining life.
No, we can't travel to Mars... yet.
"...people who believe in evolution need more faith than those who believe in God."
Please explain.
@ #2 again - Yes, this IS getting fun. : )
^You are annoying. . . why do you care so much what anyone else believes anyway? I think it is ignorant to shut out any other belief because there is no proof backing it up. There are plenty of unexplainable things that people (like athiests) make up reasons for. . .it is just stupid to believe that nothing can be true unless proven. . .you have your opinions, I have mine.
^No, genius it has to do with not needing logic for everything.
Something tells me you read your bible like you read these posts, so you can make it say what you want it to say.
^Having faith in God cannot be compared to the house thing. That is a stupid analogy.
^^Okay, I defended the Christians first, now I'll defend the Atheists. If you don't need a logical reason for everything, tell you what, sell your home and send the money to me, I mean really, after all there's no logical reason for it, you should just do it.
See faith is an amazing thing, however there are some people who just need to know, they need all the facts. Atheists and Skeptics aren't ignorant, they demand proof, and whats wrong with that?
You are the typical narrowminded Christian who probably has chased more people away from your religion, and I applaud your unbreakable faith, but maybe having a little faith in a spellchecker might help too.
If you want proof of God existing that's easy. Just look around. For every one thing that we know of as human beings there are like 100 other things that we don't know or understand. For as long as we have studied the human body we can't even cure the common cold because we just don't know enough. And probably never will. The only reason people tend to not believe in God is because of His moral code and the way he requires that we live our lives. The human being is naturally evil that's why it's so easy to do the wrong thing. I think to you have the right to choose what you believe in but the problem with that is our beliefs cover the facts or make us disregard the facts and that's where the conflict lies. But really if there wasn't a God or a supernatural being, whatever name you want to call him, how did we get here and how is it that this earth is the only place in the universe fit for human life. Why is it that we can't travel to Mars, let alone Jupiter or even pluto. There's no way everything just simply fell into place on earth by chance. The millions and millions of complex systems that are set in place and have purpose and meaning could not have just happened by chance or evolution. Besides people who believe in evolution need more faith than those who believe in God.
^ but that post makes you hypocritical.
Why does something need to be proven in order to be believed? Having faith in something doesn't make you gullable or stupid, whether it is religion or anything else. I do not need soemone to "prove" the existence of God to believe, and I think that humans who need a logical reason for everything are just ignorant.
^LOL Don't get used to it!
Wow some intelligent people speaking.
This is a first on this website.
=)
It makes me happy.
^ aww whats the matter atheists, can't get along?
^Where do you get I believe? I was just defending the other side because I hate anyone sounding like they have absolute answers on anything.
"To be fair, I could require millions of miracles. But I don't need that. MY mind is still open to possibilities."
Your arguments are very condescending, much like the Christians who argue about the existence of God. Yes you are very open minded, good for you! You just need to tell everyone you are much more open minded than everyone else.
You are right, I've met a lot of Christians who have almost wanted to burn me at the stake, but I've met as many Atheists who will stand around and mock Christians about the existence of God.
I know you won't apologize, I am almost willing to bet you've never been wrong a day in your life.
I know how this conversation will continue, you will point out my faulty logic, I will return the favor, you will point out what I said that was wrong, once again I will return the favor to you. Oh well, lets have fun.
If you read my post again, you'll see the part where I said "I couldn't agree with you more about the zealots".
Relax... take a breath. It wasn't an attack on you. I agree with you on that point. No apology forthcoming.
I'm not trying to convince you. Anybody can see that you won't be convinced of anything but what you already believe.
No problem. Go with it.
I'm not telling you what to believe and to be honest, I even take back what I said about proving God exists. If proof shows up, I can go with that.
The main thing I was saying is, Christians seem to instantly go into a fit when God is questioned, yet non-believers are confronted by stuff we don't believe ALL THE TIME.
To be fair, I could require millions of miracles. But I don't need that. MY mind is still open to possibilities.
^^ umm I really didn't quote scripture, and I wasn't fighting for or against either side, I was saying both sides are annoying.
I was simply saying it is not the responsibility of the Christian to prove to the atheist the existence of a deity, any more than an atheist should have to prove a deity doesn't exist.
I realize you didn't read my post carefully, its fine, you wanted to give your big speech and any target would do.
When someone says "Both sides" "Either side" "None of you" these are terms that encompass everyone involved, not simply one side or the other. You can apologize now.
