Pat Condell does actually seem to be a pretty level headed atheist who comes from a religious background. It only seems to be when people throw scriptures at him and tell him he's going to hell when he actually starts to take the piss.

[Esagan]

I think he's like a lot of us tbh, he just plain hates religon and what it represents, and especially what it has represented over the past centuries which is child abuse and wars.

[Fenristh]

I dont hate religion, I just hate when people try to push their beliefs onto someone like me who doesn't give a fuck. People can believe whatever they want as long as it doesn't involve me. I also hate when they try to force you to respect a religion that creates such madness in countries like Saudi :wtf:

I liked his car analogy. :wtf: If someone tries to sell you a car and you don't want it, then they come back and try to sell you it again the next day then you still don't give a shit about their stupid car, but they keep wanting you to buy it anyway :wtf:

That's the problem though, even religons that shouldn't effect you still do. All this money which goes to the christian church in England could go to much better purposes.

I just can't think of one good thing religon brings apart from people who annoy me. Every single fucking christian I know annoys me in some way or another, every single one XD

Well, I can't possibly annoy you. :aldo:

I am with Neal on this one. Even though I have religion, I hate it when I see other people of any religion trying to push it off on others. In a way if you push it off on them it its not the "personal revelation" that it is supposed to be. Its more like an agreement for that person to fuck off. :wtf:

If anything, religion does bring people together and (sometimes) give them hope, even if it is false (depends on your point of view though). So, kudos to it for that. Particularly when the US economy is toasted.

EDIT: And if you are so obsessed and devoted to your religion in such a way to not even consider everyone else's opinion, your a idiot anyway. :aldo:

I also love it when half of the people at my school get confronted by Atheists which totally annihilate their religion and their response is "Well, your still going to burn in hell." Thats just pathetic.

'whenever im exposed to religion I feel dirty'

this is orgasmicly refreshing to hear :aldo:.I love circular belief systems.Morons who disprove of anything which doesnt fit in with their beliefs.Where all pretty much fucked to an eternity of hell and satanic rape.gtfo.
I don't care if God tells people to suffer the little children, or feed the poor. If that's the only reason someones got for doing those things, you're a shitty person.

[Esagan]

If anything, religion does bring people together

No it seperates them. Always has and always will. Yes it may not have been intended to, or it may have who knows, but people find reasons to hate each other and 9 times out of 10 it's because "the bible tells them to".

Whether or not the bible was meant to cause hate to certain groups, I don't know, but it certainly has turned out that way.

It's called faith. I don't understand why having it is so looked down upon

From experience I can say that Religion can do both, but I have seen a GREAT many people brought closer together, and a lead more joyful lives because of it.


The Bible wasn't made to please everybody and I can understand where that would be troubling.I'm Christian and it makes me grow weary to see others doing ridiculous things in the name of God. Misinterpretation happens all the time

I don't need someone to be Christian to be my friend, and alot of my friends tell me the reason they disapprove of the idea is because they don't like the idea of something bigger than they are, and they're having too much fun to be limited by "rules and regulations"

I've never "forced my believes" on anyone but all my friends are perfectly aware of where I stand and why. I'm not here to judge people so I don't waist my time doing so.

I'm not judging you. I'm simply saying Religon is a farce, something to control the population in terms of law, war, morales and money. There's just as much proof bullshit like scientology existed than that of christianity

And how muich proof is that? :wub:

I don't think the people you talk to can be all there if they don't like the idea of something bigger than them. That's really quite pathetic. Of course there's thing out there bigger than us. ask them if they've ever heard of the universe.

And yes it may bring people together, people who aren't strong enough to come to terms with the fact that we are human and there's no perfect being floating down looking after us all.

And considering you're implying that I'm judging you, is quite ironic since the religous comunity are the most judgemental people on Earth, and that's not deniable.

It's not the idea of something being "bigger", its the idea that just because a book says something doesn't make it true.

Ahaha, I think I'm in love <33

Religion's out of date now, in my opinion. Hundreds of years ago, I can understand it being used as a form of law, but we have guns now.

Edit: You know how people now have Jedi religion or whatever, in hundreds of years people might not know it's from a film. Maybe Jesus was a popular play or something :wtf:

??? I wasn't implining that you were judging me, I wasn't even thinking about you (or anyone here) when I typed that. I was just making a statement about myself

I'm not going to argue with you on Gods existance because I know he's there...I guess the same way you know he's not there. Maybe the same way I have faith that he is you have faith that he isn't


And no, Science(if you're going of our worldy ways) supports the bible. Not Scientology:lol:. Scientology has no proof of anything

No offense but you are a beautiful example of christianity.

First of all, you have no proof that God exists just like Tom Cruise has no proof Xenu exists. I don't KNOW god isn't there, I don't believe he's there because THERE IS NO PROOF.

People don't need proof that someone isn't there, they need proof that he ISSSS there.

I was talking about the bible and how science supports it, unlike scientology. i know what your saying and yeah, I believe in sonething I can't see. i'm fully aware of how that seems...but I don't care in the least.



People don't need proof that someone isn't there, they need proof that he ISSSS there.

:)I think you took my statement the wrong way... I was joking. and I didn't say "Proof" I said "Faith", Like I have faith that he is there. I understand hat it doesn't add up to you, and that's fine.

It brings the people of the religion together, thats what I meant. I should edit that....

If anything, it brings those who don't believe together as well. And if you seriously think that if there was no religions, and everyone was Atheist, we would all be united, your insane. But, we are talking specifically about religion. So, back on to topic. :wtf:

It's not the idea of something being "bigger", its the idea that just because a book says something doesn't make it true.

Well, that is the whole point of Christianity or any other faith. Its the fact that you can trust in what's not there, without seeing the effects of what it can do. We all know the wind is there, because we can see the leaves blow, so we believe it. Religion takes it a step farther and makes you believe in what (is supposedly there) and trust it regardless if you see the effects or not.

I mean, you can say that if you prayed for something for a long period of time, it was God, or you could say it was luck, or the medicine. It all boils down to faith.

As for the whole, I need proof he is there, well, Christians use the Bible for that. Which we all know most Atheists think is a pile of shit (Well, the ones I know anyway). So, no reason to continue bashing the guys faith into the dirt. :wtf:

To be honest, I don't believe fully either way. I don't think that all the ideals of Christianity are good ones, or truth to be honest. And I suppose once I move out and am not forced to go to Church everyday I will finally make a choice to go on one side or the other.

And I agree that most religious people are judgmental, I live in the heart of all that shit, I live in the south, FIRE AND BRIMSTONE.

YouTube - Saudi Cleric: Why Women Should Obey Men

I swear he is SO a eunuch, listen to that voice. The beard is obviously fake.

[Esagan]

That's pretty fucked up right there ;D

But yes Christianity is wayyyy less fucked than it used to be. However in the medieval times, the two were very much alike. Torture, inquisitions and the whole cuddly affair of warm feelings to neighbouring countries.

Islam is only fucked up because the people make it that way. I imagine, if people didn't misinterprate it, it wouldn't be quite so creepy.

[Devious]

How does your God explain nipples on men?

[Pyramid Head]

Wacka14, science and the Bible are pretty much mutually exclusive of each other. When God is worried that a bunch of people are going to be able to build a tower high enough to reach him with their primitive technology, there's something a little off. When a virgin gives birth to someone who later ends up dying and gets resurrected...science doesn't exactly support something like that.

Esagan, the Islam extremists aren't really misinterpreting anything...the Qu'ran says quite a few times to kill non-believers and that men are better than women. Of course, the Bible is also sexist and extremely violent but most modern Christians just ignore those little facts, which is a very good thing.

[Fenristh]

Kind of elminates the point really, if they're going to selectively choose what part of the bible to follow rofl

[Pyramid Head]

I completely agree, but I'd rather have someone cherry pick and be a decent person rather than someone that takes every word literally and is a nutjob! Lesser of the two evils.

[Wacka14]

very much so. I don't weed through the bible and obey/take to heart the parts that fit in with my idea of how things should work. That completely defies the purpous. I might as well find a book on "How to be nice and not offend people" if I'm trying to be that secular:lol:

Science has proven many events in the bible to have happened. Although I don't need that to believe, I just stated it when Christianity was compared to Scientology.

LOL, all the info in that link was dug up by Ron Wyatt, the same guy that claimed to have found the ark of the covenant. Hell, even the president of Wyatt Archaeological Research said the following:

"All kinds of people are finding coral and calling it chariot parts," says Richard Rives, president of Wyatt Archaeological Research in Tennessee. "It's most likely coral covered with coral. ... Opportunists are combining false things with the true things that are found. These people are making it up as they go to be TV stars."

http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=19382

It's true that info like this is not hard to find, but most of it is simply not reliable.

I'd like to know what your getting at, or what you've seen proven false. But to answer your question simply, I do not believe there is any false information in the Bible.

If you read the Bible with the predisposition that there is no false information contained in it, of course there will be no false information.

I disagree with the bible being sexist but yeah, there is violence in the bible...what's your point? I don't know any Christians who ignore/deny that.

As for the violence comment, I meant to say that people that read the Bible completely literally would be more prone to violent behavior.

There's scientific proof that the world came about milions of years ago rather than the (what is it?) 10,000 - ish years ago it says in the Bible. It obviously isn't right about everything, and if it was wrong about something pretty major like that, what's stopping everything else from being incorrect?

I still say Islam is worse. It used to just be dislike, but after reading some of the stories on this (http://www.rawa.org/index.php) website, I'm incapable of feeling anything other than pure hatred. The worst of it comes from when they take the Qu'ran word for word. It's all rather sick to be honest.

Christianity's worst has been and gone, for the most part people put their own morals before taking what the Bible says word for word.


God this is so annoying, I used to know off the top of my head all the worst things said in the Bible and the Qu'ran. I can only remember one now.

Exodus. 22:18
Though shalt not suffer a witch to live

Advocating violence :cookie:

[Fenristh]

That article is written by a clearly strongly religious viewpoint and doesn't leave a source of any information.

If you could provide an article with some scientific basis, i.e. from a journal or at least sourcing something, then ill read more than two paragraphs. Even if this is all true, it doesn't really prove that the sea was parted by a divine force. An earthquake or a volcano could have cracked the seabed in that way.

As I've said before, I think the accounts in the bible are down to natural forces that people of that time didn't understand. Obviously I have no evidence or proof of this but it's my own personal thoughts on it. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were running away from the Egyptians something like an earthquake happened and killed them all. If they didnt understand what the earthquake was and had never seen or even heard of one I'd totally understand them thinking it was something supernatural.

Obviously I have no evidence or proof of this but it's my own personal thoughts on it. I wouldn't be at all surprised if they were running away from the Egyptians something like an earthquake happened and killed them all. If they didnt understand what the earthquake was and had never seen or even heard of one I'd totally understand them thinking it was something supernatural.

So, basically, the Bible is a slightly more credible source of explaining natural events than say, Zeus?

Honestly, When I think of a sea PARTING, I do not think a earthquake could cause that. Well, no. It could, but a giant rift would be there sucking all of the water in it. So, it would be more of a... hole. Not a part IMO.

Anyway, I missed a lot of stuff. So, from what I've read I will say that anyone who take ANY religious material WORD FOR WORD is an idiot. :wtf:

Even some the bible's stories within the story are parables. Not meant to be taken seriously kthx. Only to convey a message.

I dont mean there was an earthquake which made the sea water go up, I mean it left a crack and made a underwater valley kind of thing which is what they're describing in that article if you looked at it. Cracks like that are formed by earthquakes, how would an earthquake cause a hole? That doesn't even make sense.

The bible verses are meant to be accounts of actual events as far as I was told. Otherwise that makes it even less believable!

But why shouldnt they? Isnt it the word of god?

And dies the bible not say the water was formed in like, two massive walls, like, upwards? So they kinda rules out proving it ever happened.

And no, all the words in the bible are not the word of God. Only the words in red. Although, those are Jesus's word, but you know, the Trinity and all that Jazz makes them God's words. Everything else is written by people in the Bible. Like the Gospels. What they wrote was god either A) telling them to as in visions and such. Or B) Their experiences with the Religion and Jesus. And what they learned.

For Instance, Revelation is just a massive vision I think it was... Paul had and wrote about.

So what you're saying is it's someones account of what may or may not have actually happened... sometimes? rofl

Stop thinking about the movement of the water, I don't think that ever happened. It's this so-called evidence they've found that I'm talking about.

Well, yes and no. All the people who wrote the books that are in it are heavily religious and had God as the inspiration and all of it points out that God is the best, helps you follow the moral code etc, etc. But yes, all of it is not strait from the mouth of God.

Or at least thats my interpretation of it.

Nah I don't believe Religon helps anyone follow a moral code.

It's when people tell me I'm leading a "Christian lifestyle" that i get fucked off. Just because I'm not an asshole, it doesn't mean I lead the life style of any religon. That properly rages me. FUUUUUUUUU-

That's the biggest shit heap with God. No matter how nice you are, you still get fucked in the ass for not believing in him. All forgiving my ass.

Paul had and wrote about.LOL so people are believing 2,000 years worth of religion, basing their whole lifestyles, ideals etc on a vision someone had? AHAHAHA. OH SHIT :wtf: I wouldn't usually laugh at other's beliefs to their face, but that is pathetic. We all know what drugs can do to you, what if he was walking through the woods and popped a mushroom he found then had his vision?

Someone having a vision vs. indisputable fossil records. HMMM :wtf:

I once saw my Pulp Fiction poster wink at me because I hadn't slept for 52 hours. Does this mean I should write a book on Samuel Jackson?

Thoughts plox.

The utterly ridiculous stories are usually brushed off as parables by casual believers. Noah's ark? Parable. Tower of Babylon? Parable. The story about God sending two bears to murder 42 children for making fun of a bald guy? Yep, must be a parable to show that making fun of people is bad (2 Kings 2:23-24). The part in the Bible where God puts a dollar value on humans and men are worth more than women? It must be a parable to show that...er...men are better than women (Leviticus 27:3-7)?

I agree. Even Genesis is supposed to be a myth. It's not supposed to be taken literary. I believe most things written on the Bible are just stories which aim to send a message.
