if the latter
---- why is 'faith' valid or worthy of respect? Tell us. Respect is inclusive. I can easily include those whom I disagree with, but I cannot exclude someone simply because I disagree with them; I can respect that someone believes differently from myself without insulting their beliefs because I perceive my beliefs to be superior, even though neither has been proven 100%.

3) Do you think the prescriptive ethics "Prescriptive ethics"? What the hell are you smoking? "Prescriptive ethics" - that's so funny. Did it hurt pulling it out of your rectum? of your religion are necessary?
-if yes, then how do all other religions get by if they're wrong and don't have your god (for Abrahamists, What is an Abrahamist? And why did you introduce such silliness into a thread in which you obviously wanted to attack Christians? this means they follow Satan, the god of this world- so how can they have morals?)
-if no, does your religion service any purpose at all in society Them damn old 10 commandments from GOD the ALMIGHTY. What has your GOD hating religion given to this world? What COMMANDMENTS do yours keep? (other than serving as a unifying factor for aiding the formation of social groups that can then fight eachother), or is it purely a personal coping mechanism?

At this point, I am done with this topic. Who gives a fart in the wind who is right? In the end, we will all know. We die and we have nothing or we die and we have everything. Personally, I do not give a s hit what happens to you once you are dead, and, in life, I have no reason to argue with you. My God is my God; Your no-god is your no-god. I will deal with my God or your no-god in my afterlife....just as you will.

Who cares who is right or who is wrong? Damn - live your life and let us live ours. No effect on you, even in the slightest. Live your life and defecate on cornbread.

@Whip,

I was upset with a previous response. It's not how real Christians to behave. If we don't care about others than why we are here on earth for? To drive pick up trucks, and carry guns?

Alright, I'm done with my criticism, let me try to respond.

1) Do you believe based on any evidence, or is it 'faith'

Both

2) If the former
---- How does the evidence support your religion

The evidence of existence and the reason, that it was done for a purpose of my acceptance to God's family.

---- Why do you discount the evidence cited by other religions?
I don't discount their evidence, but I can't comprehend their reason for the existence.

if the latter
---- why is 'faith' valid or worthy of respect?
We all function by faith. When you marry a girl how do you know she is not going to leave you for another guy? Faith.
Faith is opposite of control, and that's what God appreciate when we surrender control to him and live by faith.

---- why is it good to have 'faith' in your god(s) rather than someone elses?
First of all, my God is the one who did all for me, other gods want me to do things for them.
And secondly, it is a relationship by faith in Him, not in some vague idea.

3) Do you think the prescriptive ethics of your religion are necessary?
-if yes, then how do all other religions get by if they're wrong and don't have your god (for Abrahamists, this means they follow Satan, the god of this world- so how can they have morals?)

Even if we are fallen from God we are still created in His image, therefore the basic morals are in every person. Plus there is a conscious at work unless it was suppressed and persecuted.

-if no, does your religion service any purpose at all in society (other than serving as a unifying factor for aiding the formation of social groups that can then fight eachother), or is it purely a personal coping mechanism?

Red Cross, Ymca, and others were started by Christians. Christianity has a huge impact until now (churches still sending teams to victims of Katrina).

@JBeukema,

1) Do you believe based on any evidence, or is it 'faith'

Faith.

2) Why is 'faith' valid or worthy of respect?

"Nothing is either good or bad, thinking makes it so."

Why is it good to have 'faith' in your god(s) rather than someone else's?

To each their own. I have no interest in what anyone else wants to believe.

3) Do you think the prescriptive ethics of your religion are necessary?

There are universal morals and then there are religious morals. For example, the moral that murder is wrong is accepted by most human beings regardless of their particular or lack of religion. On the other hand, the moral of modesty is not universal - it is religious. So my religious ethics are necessary for me but not necessary for others.

If no, does your religion service any purpose at all in society (other than serving as a unifying factor for aiding the formation of social groups that can then fight each other), or is it purely a personal coping mechanism?

It is faith, it is a part of our identity. We love it like you might love your accent or traditional cuisine. At the same time, it is so much more than that - it is our religion, it is how we believe we should live and what we believe happens to us after we die.

@JBeukema,

It seems to me that the evidence for gods and so on is small, but that the effectiveness of such activities as meditation is evident. The 'factual' element in most belief is mainly concerned with historical evidence, not theology. Fundamentally, though, our understanding of 'reality' is so manifestly limited, and the forces making for false belief (ideology and so on) so very strong, we do best to maintain a 'don't know' attitude to most things, this extending far beyond religion into politcs and all sorts. We should look at what sort of conduct produces least obvious unhappiness in everyone and otherwise be as near wholly agnostic as is compatible with living.

I believe in a God just as you believe there is no god.

You believe there is god god I never said there is no god because i do not believe in god because ther is no evidence for deity?

You didn't think that out before submitting it, did you?

Quote:

Our beliefs are based solely upon us as individuals. You cannot prove your "no god" any better than I can prove my "real God".

So you admit that god cannot be demonstrated to exist- because there is no evidence- and then you act indignant? Is this typical of your nature?

Quote:

No conclusive evidence exists that proves my stand, just as no conclusive evidence exists to support yours. So why an argument?

If I said 'there is a purple elephant in this room' and could present no evidence of its existence, would you agree I was deluded in believing that elephant were there? Now, what if I said that we should invade Canada, take their virgins as slaves, and kill all the men and children because that purple elephant told me to? What if I then later said that all should trust in this purple elephant to live a righteous life and tried to push into law what I said the beast told me we should do?

Quote:

They differ from my own. I do not discount them, I simply disagree with them.

So you say that you discount the evidence because it does not support your predrawn conclusion... then deny what you just said?

I do hope this is satire.

How can it be both? Faith is belief without reason. To believe because the evidence suggests it is reason. To claim faith iis to declare you beliefs unreasonable, unsupported, and ignorant. Surely this cannot be your intention.

Quote:

How does existence demonstrate the existence of deity? The rest of your reply to this question, I cannot decode.

Quote:

---- why is 'faith' valid or worthy of respect?
We all function by faith. When you marry a girl how do you know she is not going to leave you for another guy? Faith.

To an extent perhaps, but a wise man also draws a conclusion regarding her likely behavior from her pasty. If you marry a ho, you know what to expect. That is simply reason.

Quote:

---- why is it good to have 'faith' in your god(s) rather than someone elses?
First of all, my God is the one who did all for me,

Did what, exactly?

Quote:

Even if we are fallen from God we are still created in His image, therefore the basic morals are in every person. Plus there is a conscious at work unless it was suppressed and persecuted.

Where do any such moral absolutes come from? If we are made in God's image, does that not indicate a pretty wicked god? Have you read the OT? Your religion cannot offer any source of morality. Science, however, can offer a theory for how the concept of morality and the conscience came about.

Quote:

Red Cross, Ymca, and others were started by Christians. Christianity has a huge impact until now (churches still sending teams to victims of Katrina).

The Red Crescent acts much like the Red Cross and Buddhists have been long known for charity and piety, though it is less often so largely organized. How is it better for one to have faith in your god than in Allah or the Void?

You have the audacity to call someone else a "troll" when you, yourself, have done little other on this board then attack Christianity. How many threads have you started just to flood the board with your irrational bigotry? Then you post this little thread in which you infer that Christians are Abrahamists. Christians follow the teachings of the Christ Jesus, and not Abraham. It would benefit you greatly to get your religions straight.

Some may not approve of my behavior in the way I respond to people like yourself. I ask them, how did the Christ react to the money changers in the temple? Did he pat them on their little backs and tell them all is forgiven? Hell no - He took a whip to them. This is how He expects us to act as well. A true Christian does not kiss the feet of Gods enemies, he retaliates. Nor does he reason with the unreasonable fool, (as JB has become in my eyes and for this reason I will not try to intellectualize with him).

Jesus' teaching rest on those of Abraham and the later prophets, you twit. You cannot reject Abraham, Moses, or any of the Jewish tradition and still claim Christ. Do learn about your own religion before you decide to demonstrate your ignorance.

Quote:

Wrong, moron.

Matthew 5:39

A true Christian neither retaliates nor submits, but stays strong in the path and ways of Jesus, for they are no part of this world, and their glory is not on Earth but on New Earth, in New Jerusalem, after the final Judgement. Why do 'Christians' never know what the bible says?

Necessary for what? (Not sure what you're asking.)

Everyone has morals. This fact is evidence of the Christian God because morality is by definition universal, transcendent, personal, contains concepts of "good" and "evil," and accountability to authority (or the author of the moral code). Atheism, Satanism, self-worship, and all other religions can't account for morality, even as the adherents of these other religions in fact use morality and believe it exists (even though they can't see morality or test morality).

The Christian religion, when practiced by actual Christians obeying the Bible by God's grace, serves to teach the personal way of salvation in Jesus Christ, and provides a moral pattern for societies to follow to maximize freedom, maximize justice, and to restrain evil.

As with morality, rationality is non-physical and universal. For example, the law of non-contradiction is rational in all times and places for all people. How can an impersonal, atheistic, physical universe explain a universal, non-material concept such as rationality? Christians have an answer for this, that God, who is transcendent over His creation, made humans in His rational image.

Morality is not absolute or universal. Tell me, is rape ever justifiable?

Quote:

Probability. rationality is truly nothing more than discerning the most probable reality and also the most desirable result. Why do we say that an apple was above you if it fell on your head? It is the most probable explanation for how it fell on your head. therefore, it is rational to assume it fell from above your head.

Evolution is totally illogical and can only come from an atheistic worldview. The reason I say evolution is illogical is that it assumes that certain qualities must become or give rise to, their opposite; for example, non-life must turn into life, and that which is non-rational must become or give rise to the rational.

This is untrue.

Atheists only represent 9-11% of Americans yet 40% of Americans accept evolution. The fact of the matter is that most evolutionists are christians, including Ken Miller an expert witness at the Kitzmiller v Dover trial who is a biology textbook author who is a christian.

Morality is a result of our need to cooperate.

How, given a presumption of an impersonal atheistic universe of matter in motion, can abstract (non-physical), universal (across all different particular brains) morality come to exist?

Common Need.

Morality exists because it must. A society without morality would collapse. Morality as I have previously stated is a direct result of our need to cooperate with each other. Even wolves do not randomly kill each other, social animals have to cooperate. Do we need to postulate gods to explain why morality is necessary?

i just checked out both links.. very interesting..!! the bible is just as open to fault as is any other book written by men, translated by men, designed by men. men are not without fault.. and neither are their books.. that christians claim to be the only people capable of understanding this bible is hilarious.. it should worry them that so many people are walking away from the religion.. it just doesnt hold up to careful scrutiny.. and when u remove the fear of "hell".. they might become aware of this fact. what of reason and logic? evidence?.. aside from "the bible said so.. so god said so".. i know they feel they are above the rest of humanity.. they are after all "the new chosen".. which entitles them to feel special.. and gives them the ability to know things they claim only god knows.. even after walking away from the christian religion.. i cant seem to get away!! lol.. hmmm.. the religious residue doesnt come off with soap and water.
