How to praise a member's post:

- Next to the user's post that you like, click on "MPG Donation".
- Enter how many tokens you'd like to donate and enter a comment on that particular post. It'll then send a PM to that user and also automatically post in this thread the message you entered.
- MPG donations may not be used for anything other than to praise a post or to acknowledge agreement. It cannot be used to denigrate, debate, or question a post.

Nice topic!
I will never understand how someone who claims to know the ultimate truth, of God, believes they deserve respect, when they cannot distinguish it from a fairy-tale.

You know, science and logic are hard: Religion and fairy tales might be more your speed.

To continue to argue for the Hebrew invention of God is actually an insult to the very concept of a God. - Divine Insight

I missed this when you first posted it last week, but it's very well stated.

"In my view, it all comes down to human political power as whose god gets to be called "God" with a capital G."


Very well said!
You can give a man a fish and he will be fed for a day, or you can teach a man to pray for fish and he will starve to death.

I blame man for codifying those rules into a book which allowed superstitious people to perpetuate a barbaric practice. Rules that must be followed or face an invisible beings wrath. - KenRU

If you are unable to demonstrate that what you believe is true and you absolve yourself of the burden of proof, then what is the purpose of your arguments? - brunumb

Excellent rebuttal.

I especially like this: "That they (often) point to tales from the Old Testament that show ‘divine cruelty’ and suchlike doesn’t mean that they believe in such a god. Just that they can see the absurdity in it."
To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods.

I agree with your points.

What are you planning on doing with all your MPG tokens?

"Perhaps it is the term Christian that should be retired as too vague and misleading. Under that umbrella term are sects so diverse that they have demonstrated a willingness to kill one another over differences in doctrine, literature, and/or rituals."

Truly.

"And SOOO many Christians claim that SOOO many OTHER (perhaps not-quite-so-Christian-as-them) Christians, are doing it WRONG with their Bibles …"

Indeed. It's astounding how often this gets ignored.

Admirable.

The Forum NEEDS 'Thinking Theists' to offset the dogmatists and fundamentalists who are so often vocal here.
