I think people shouldn't hate others

^ Just a small correction, the millions of missing links.

^^ #2 You prove my point perfectly. I too am sick of being told at every turn, "In God We Trust".

Religion, for the most part, is a pretty good thing. It's teachings and tenets are very wholesome. Most people do very well with it.
I couldn't agree with you more about the zealots, though.
Raising your voice and quoting scripture isn't going to convince me of anything.

I am not a zealot. I AM open minded.
The point was (to spell it out), if God is proven to exist, I'll believe.
If the "Missing Link" is found, would you abandon the Church?
Or would you find a way to make it God's creation?

My mom once told me about a class she had in college about evolution. It was taught by a nun. Even though I don't think she believed in evolution, she was open-minded enough to learn and teach about it for a living. She supported an alternative belief, unparallel to her own.

Yes, we can all get along. It just takes people like that nun to get us to that point.

Though I believe in God, I have many friends who dont. I bring up religion as often as possible, because I am curious to know their beliefs and why they believe what they do. I find it incredibly interesting.

I don't think people should hate others because of their religious beliefs or lack there of. But though honestly it will take a very long time before we reach the point of all getting along, there are a lot of people who are already making that step forward. We just have to wait for other people to catch up.

^Prove God doesn't exist, genius. See Atheists and Christians have every right to believe what they want, the problem is the zealots on both sides, no one else. Don't scream scientific fact, and I mean either side! None of you can prove ** either way.I'm so sick of people being told they can't believe what they want by someone else, for any reason.

Because we are constantly assaulted by your faith and references to your God. Watch the evening news and count how many times religion or God is mentioned - even in a simple comment. And then count how many times someone says there is no God.

Take God back out of my Pledge of Allegience. He wasn't in it when it was written and I find it offensive.
This country was not started so we could all worship your God, this country was started so we could all follow our own beliefs.

Please stop saying "Evolution is only a theory".
So is your God.

Please stop saying, "We'll pray for you."
What would you think if we said, "We're very glad that nothing will happen to you when you die."?

I am not close-minded.
Prove that God exists and I will sit next to you on Sunday.
