Debate Religion

[Mad Hatter]

I'm an atheist and believe in nothing. Does anyone presume that the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, or Romans were a stupid people? Were they all wrong about their beliefs? I'll leave that one alone, but faith is naivety to it's extreme. Imagine that the creator of the universe has a son who flips out and loses it in front of the temple of Jerusalem and chases out the money changers with a whip.

And oh yes, he can walk on water too !

 

[MamaFrankie]

I am not particularly religious but I do believe there is something out there. I respect other faiths as we can learn from them all.

 

[Yusra]

I'm a proud Muslim. I always try my best to follow the terms and regulations to be a good Muslim.

 

[yudi]

I am a Christian. I believe in the existence of God. What I don't believe is the fact that God took our brains from us and told our pastors to think for us. I reverence God but question unethical doctrines wholly.

 

[Sevik]

I do not fear god. I respect instead. I do not believe that god will punish me. In the end, we reap what we sow. If you jump into a river, you get wet. That is not a punishment, it is called Karma.

 

[eLdavis]

I am a Christian, I came form a Christian home, so this is pretty much all I know, though I do not discriminate others when they follow other religions.

 

[Teegold]

I have great belief and high regards for God. I know he exists and he's the most powerful being in the universe, this fact is evident in the creations we see around us. It takes great wisdom to be able to perfectly make things the way they are.

 

[Sanjeev]

I am not too religious, but being a Hindu, I believe in God and worship Him because he is the creator of us all. I don't believe in other religions but equally respect other religions because every religion tells us to treat everyone with love.

As far as Christianity is concerened, people are looking at it all wrong. It's about relationships with people.

The Ancients were also religious. They just weren't Christians.

So should he have used heavenly thunder to chase them out of the temple simply because he is the son of God?

No, he should have "turned he other cheek" as he told everyone else to do with his sermon on the mount.

 

[eLdavis]

No, he sound have "turned he other cheek" as he told everyone else to do with his sermon on the mount.

Seems you are missing the point here, and turning the other cheek doesn't really count here. They turned the temple that was ment to be a place for worship and prayer into a market place, so how should he had turn his other cheek? Then again you seem to forget the part that he might be the son of God but he came down as human, which means he also has human emotions, and anger is part of it. Him reacting that way clearly shows his human nature speaking and how irritated he was about what was going on.

Funny how Christians can twist and turn bible stories to fit any circumstance. Turn the other cheek except when....oh but that was different.
The 10 commandments including "Thou shalt not kill' the very next day after showing everyone the commandment tablets Moses kills thousands for worshiping the golden calf. Oh, but that was different!

Jesus was half human? Sort of like Dr.Spock on Star Trek huh?

Non believers say like you said. It's not your fault.

It's not my fault or anyone's as I have free will.

 

[Sanjeev]

Yes, obviously you have.

Lol it's also funny how someone who doesn't believe would twist things to fit in their point. You can't possibly understand it the way we do, and the more we try explaining, you still won't reason it our way, so why try?

 

[Sara]

I'm a Christian but being religious isn't what I can agreed to. I respect every belief and what they think and say, I can't argue with anybody on that. There are many things that look as false but who am I to argue on that. Just find the truth and follow it.

 

[Krissycakes09]

I'm not religious. I know Jesus is my Lord and Savior and that he came to save us.

 

[Nomad]

I am religious, I follow religion. However, I am not dogmatic, I don't think God is someone as described by the Holy books. I find it foolish on how people are ready to pick bones over Gods that have not been able to understand.
