Firstly the 'my religion is better than yours crap' is unavoidable. That kind of rationale is everywhere.
Sorry, I was very busy...but anyways, back in the argument. Stop babbling, it can be avoided. People just need to learn and open their minds.
Atheists think their beliefs are correct; christians think theirs are; muslims; jews - and the list goes on. Christian doctrine states that all other religions are false in some kind of paraphrase - so it is unavoidable. What do athiests say about religion? - 'I don't believe there is a God crap' right? - and 'Religion is foolish crap' true?
You still have much more to learn. Don't try to lecture me on something you need to study boy. Do you speak for everyone to know everyone believes their beliefs are correct? I, for one, a nondenominational theist do not know I am correct. I can only believe in what my judgement tells me best, doesn't mean it is right, something many others need to know.
So we ALL fall into the trap of 'my WHATEVER - be it religion, race, belief, attire, etc. is better than yours craps'. Hey we all don't like it. It is the root of disagreement. Causes wars and deaths and all manner of abject situations.
*yawns* Already know, hey you're learning something at least.
But one thing you CANNOT do is place this tendency totally on religionists. Everybody does it. Including YOU. It's human.
Oh really? Place it totally on religions? Hmmm...did I specifically say so? No, so don't shove words in my mouth.
We don't know everything so we are bound to have opinions.
I'll agree on that. Question for many to ask, is my opinion right for others?
The only thing that will keep you from going crazy is faith. That's how you know what you say is right. Proof does it too. But we don't always have proof.
Faith, as I said, is foolish without questions. Proof is facts.
Look at Bioethics - then you'll know what I'm getting at. You just have to face reality Dark. Such 'my crap is better than your crap' craps are a fact of life - even if religions didn't exist.
It may be a fact of life, but many need to learn this because it can be very foolish. Understand? It may be applied to many situations, happiness seems to be based upon desiring to be better then others.
Wow. That statement illustrates your ignorance where Christianity is concerned. Christianity is what you call a missionary religion - You go around and tell people about it.
Where did I mention Christianity is a different type of religion related to missionary? I only asked questions and you go on with that ignorance crap? Foolish one.
And hmmm, let's be more specific, which statement? Can you prove it? And uh, please don't attack my questions because that's like attacking vapor. Learn to read better.
Firstly you know what the message of the Gospels are? - that we should spread them.
Yes, I've studied the Synoptic Gospels dipshit. It is generally to emphasize one how to live for the Kingdom of God. You could say spread.
So I don't see how on earth you're going to spread the gospel if you don't tell people about it. And that is not self glorification - that is exaltation of the Lord and Saviour of ALL Jesus Christ.
Yeah it isn't idiot. You even learn from what I clearly said self-glorification is? Note for you, stop confusing yourself
That statement about self glorification is quite narrow - it has no valid point - I see it as an attack on my person.
What you have said :
Can we prove that God exists.... NO!!!. If it were that easy everybody would be a Christian, noone would lie, everyone would fear God, there would be no atheists, cause everybody would be smart.
My partial reply to it:
But I can understand your mistake for specifically mentioning "Christians," after all you are a Christian and that thinking is quite common, as for all other religions.
If you see it as an attack on your person, then so be it. I was quite easy on you, trying to explain then it comes up as an attack.
What my belief different from yours you going to attack me for it?
What other interpretation of God is there?
Too damn many.
And the human interpretation is what is important to humans wouldn't you say Dark?
Yes, because it may give reasons for their religion, a "closer connection" to god, etc. Blah blah, human interpretation is what we humans want to see, not taken as "truth" by me. But some interpretations actually do good, moral teachings etc., until taken too seriously.
See you lata.
