Thats different you closed your eyes and thought about something, mine was I thought of no image just a voice speaking to me. If religion is fake, prove to me why 1 out of 1.32 People have a religion.

lol, that's goin a bit far mate. 'Scientific proof' can be thrown all around the joint mate. If every scientist out there believed the same thing, that still wouldn't make it an undeniable definate. There are theories, there are concepts. There's no 'proof' of this. There's no absolute.



Actually I don't think that is going too far. There are many things about religion you can believe, which while I don't agree with are fair enough. But to deny the earth is considerably older than 8000 years, something that has conclusively proven and is thoroughly accepted by modern day theologists is absolute idiocy. It is no different that believing the earth is flat.

Carbon dating is not a theory it's an established fact.
Darwinism is not an established fact, however it is an incredibly strong theory.
The big bang is a theory, which is good but far from being conclusive.

I dont think people should accuse people that have had spiritual experiences of being schizophrenic, or liars. An encounter with God, is a spiritual encounter, and being a spiritual being, it's not so hard to imagine.

Have any of you seen the exorcist? Can you honestly tell me you dont believe in demons?

because the human species is too afraid to let go. They know their time is limitied so they hold onto any theory thrown at them to make them believe that they will actually 'live' longer. They cant accept the fact that they will enventually die and that will be the end of it

yes i can honestly say i DO NOT believe in demons, witchcraftor black / white magic.

There's proof on both sides man. There's different ideas on both sides. If you watch the series I linked, I'm sure it could well challenge your 'proof'. But hey, if you're just here to try and disprove me, I don't have all the answers =)

Huh? what nonsene. If religion helped keep us all in check why is there so many stuffed up people in this world? Wait, demons got to them right?

I wasn't accusing anyone of being schizophrenic. My point is that many people including the perfectly sane hear things that are simply not there.

Um, the Exorcist is just a movie based on a story and with every movie of it's genre it's grossly exaggerated. Even if it were absolutely true, there are many explanations which are more probable than "demons".

Nonsense. Athiests are no more likely to commit crime.
It's an absolute falacy we get our morals from the bible. If we did, we would be stoning people for working on Sundays, executing homosexuals amongst, sacrificing our kids etc etc...
If you look at the facts, crime has invariably declined over the past 40 years and so has religion.

If we didn't have religion what would the purpose of life be. People who have commited tremendous acts of crime such as Dennis Ferguson usually are Athiest. Which shows that religion does have an importance to the status of society.

The thing about relgiion vs sicence is only one is actually PROVEN. One is fact, the other is fiction. Science is fact... theres no two ways about it, religion however varies so much and on such a broad scale that theres no telling what might be said. Its one thing to believe in religion however and disregard science. The evolution of man for instance - there are no two ways about it, may evolved just like every other animal.

i dont belive in religion, i believe in what is right and what is wrong.... that is what will stop me from killing people or other crimes, it has nothing to do with religion. People do things coz they are not right in the head or pushed to extremes. There as many christians and muslims in jails as there is atheists

What a bunch of hog wash!
Considering there are so few Athiests that they don't even get counted on the Census, to claim they are usually responsible for committing horrible crimes is laughable...
Can you come up with any actual facts to back this comment up?

Raybert, even your religion teacher would support me on most of what I've said. Most have my arguments here have not been about religion or God, but about holding onto beliefs that have been shown to be clearly false, that can be dangerous and that even the church has recognised as belonging well in the past.

Don't get me wrong. I may not believe in God, but I can't positively say doesn't exist, because it can't be proven. However, I can come up with plenty of arguments of why it's highly improbable he exists.
