If you can not provide any evidence you are suffering from a superstitious delusion. That is inescapable

my question is:
why do you care? if you don't want to believe it, don't. but what is it that drives you to harrass those of us that choose to believe?

Bear in mind that you're posting on a science forum... it's not harassment: to anyone posting and making statements of any sort the first question is always "what evidence do you have to support this conclusion?"
Some theists come here to "prove" god exists scientifically, some come to see if there's any evidence, some come merely argue. And to a good number (if not all) of all of those the answer is the same: "if you don't want us to ask questions then go elsewhere, this is a science forum". Some go, some stay. Presumably many of those that stay enjoy the argument/ discussion, if nothing else it passes the time.

samcdkey said:There's 14% atheists and 86% theists ( approx); they want to increase their count so they can grab power. Its all the testosterone. They cannot stand being a minority.
yeah, i'm feelin' it.
what bugs me is that i hated being pushed to believe so i almost went the way of athiesm. and now i'm being pushed by atheists. how screwed up is that?!

War, beheadings, abusing children by indoctrinating them in state schools, social issues pedalled by the christian right, intolerance, restriction of freedom, racism, homophobia, terrorism, opression of women, George Bush and the blatantly irrationality of every aspect of your belief.
So you see, your faith is not an individual thing, it collectively fucks up our society and our world. To respecting such delusional beliefs which make for an unstable group of people with questionable motives would be silly. Why do you think secular societies are healthy and peaceful and religious ones at war?

so is philosiphy a science?
Not by the definition of science: experiments are rather difficult to do...
But I assume you're referring to the fact that there's a Philosophy section - anyone making assertions gets the same treatment - tell us WHY you beleive what you've just stated.
(Neither is pseudoscience and there's a section for that as well. All grist to the mill.)

:bugeye: do you hold yourself responsible for the doings of your peers? religion, like any other organization, is subject to the evils of its - only human - members.
hell, i don't like any of the issues you brought up and i don't practice them and i DON'T think those priests should be forgiven. my belief helps me to avoid that shit. but i can't speak for my fellow man any more than you can.

did i say that? i said i was pushed to believe. however, i did my own reading and soulsearching and came to my own conclusions. sorry, that i don't feel the way you happen to.
