if you think god is this all singing, all dancing, long bearded geezer i actually feel sorry for you people who have a mind of their own are not weak people who slaughter innocents in the name of war are
I don't rubbish your beliefs so please don't rubbish mine. I hate it when people dismiss the beliefs of others just because they do not agree with them.
Your defence didn't work then, seeing as you're an ex-teacher. Or were you one of those weaklings who got bullied by the pupils and went running home to your mum in tears saying you couldn't handle them? I bet you wore a really badly fitting suit with sweat stains which resembled a tramp's pissed - stained mattress
And I'm telling you that you're wrong. It's not hard to accept that people don't share your beliefs, even in the vaguest sense. You believe in a god. They don't. You're consistent with most theists, though. Virtually none of them can clarify what they believe in and why. Aren't you a Muslim, by the way? If you are, then suggesting that military men are gay sheep is probably a bad idea, as Mohammed was one.
If there is proof to back up the existence of nessie and sasquatch, then they exist. No proof, no existence. Same goes for religion. No religion can prove that what's said in their holy tomes is real. I'm an aetheist to all religions, not just christianity.
So, oh enlightened one. What is "God"? Other than a myth which unscrupulious individuals use to cane weaklings out of their hard-earned for, what does he do? I don't know, it takes a strong character to whack someone.
Say you had 20 people with different religions in a room together discussing religion, what do the think the outcome would be?
I can't believe some of replies in this thread. Just accept people have different beliefs and move on.
I don't agree because just because there is no evidence of something it does not mean that it does not exist. Religion is a matter of faith and some have it and some don't. That is fine but there are too many people who just dismiss it just because there is no proof of existence but there is also no proof the other way either.
I mean, has anyone ever seen the stereotypical portrayal of this geezer with the long beard wearing flowing robes? If you can't see something or even know it exists, then how the **** can you believe in it?
I didnt realise i was defending anything maybe you would like to elaborate? i take it you are familiar with a tramps pissed stained mattress or are you referring to your mrs?
Two points. How would you disprove something that doesn't interact with reality in any way? What non-religion based claims that have any importance to you would you accept without proof or evidence?
Anyone? This isn't a loaded question btw, I'd genuinely like to hear what some of you believers think would happen?
