Religion

[【Demonic Queen】]

Simply put are your religious and if or if so which and why? If you don't have a religion why? Also do you think any religion is true and so yes Which?

 

Well Here you can discuss religion, because this can be a touchy subject for some people this might go wrong, so please don't flame each other or other peoples religion. Respect each others religion and don't start try people to convert to your religion. Also don't flame or threaten people with no religion they will go to hell and people with no religion don't flame the people with religion respect there choice to believe.

 

Alright personally I do believe in a god, but I simply don't believe in a certain religion. My reason for this is simple because the bible is written by man and the most sold book ever. Its no way god or talkers from god wrote them. Also lots of church's god gold and jewelry that seems really fishy to me. Well anyway I don believe there is a god but I don't believe in a certain religion.

[Wyhe]

Well, I don't believe in religion as a whole & belong to the class called atheist. Personally, I just don't see how a God can exist in a world so corrupted & full of suffering. Also, religion prevents people from dealing with the blunt reality even if it were right in front of them.

[Pikachu]

I have no specific religion.

 

'Have a nice day!'

[Jovi Siagian]

I'm a Muslim (Islam). True religions are.....Islam, Christians, and maybe Jew. Bible may not listed Al-Qur'an in there. But Al-Qur'an has Bible and....what's the English name of Jew's holy scripture? Al-Qur'an explains about Musa (Moses), Ibrahim (Abraham), Daud (David), and Isa (Jesus). They are connected in a way. And I've tried to prove by trying to do a recommendation in the Qur'an, and it really works.

 

I hope no one gets offended by what I've told. If I really do not make you offended, would you do that to me, too? Thanks in advance.

My religion should be kinda obvious. The one thing I can't stand is Atheism which pretty much throws out the fact that there is a god(s) in the universe (not particularly the "God" but a god)....open you eyes and get actual proof that there isn't a deity in the entire infinite universe before you start making assumptions.

Or rather...can one prove the existence of God?

[Metal Lord]

I'm deeply Christian. Although I don't go to church, I have Christian faith that exists outside a church. When I study biology, i always think 'This is far too clever for a God-less universe'.

 

Oh, and Wyhe, funk off before you stur up trouble again. We're having a NON-ARGUMENTATIVE discussion about one's faith, so we don't need you starting up trouble here.

[Lord Ursus]

Acording to the bible, God gave humans free will, and see were that got us. We are merely harvesting our own doing.

 

I am christian.

'You don't have to accept others beliefs, just respect them.'

 

Many people don't realize this, but your faith and my faith are really the same, is it not?

I said nothing about god. Screw the christian god for all I care. I am talking about any deity in any religion in the entire universe....but as for your question. Well....I have no idea. =/

Religion is pointless, science can explain most.

[align=justify]Same here.

 

Every creation has a creator. Your not going to look at a chair & say "Oh, it probably made itself" >_> no that's not possible. Imagine going to space, you go further & further from the earth. & when you look at it, it's like a blue dot. When you see that, you'll think of it carefully then you'll believe that there is a God. Let me tell you a story.

 

When God made the first human (Adam) he told the devil to bow for him. But the devil denied it, so God forbid him from entering heaven again. I think you probably know the rest of the story when Adam ate the apple, etc. Then god sent Adam to earth so he can bring more children which will build the earth & pray to God.

Remember it's a give & take thing.

 

Some pupils I know in here were like "How do you pray 5 times a day, I don't understand" etc. Well here's another story.

 

When our Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) heard the we had to pray he was sent up to God. We had to pray 500 times, imagine that. Yet he told God that could you make it lower? So god sent him to another Prophet which made it less. Yet again The Prophet wanted less. & he kept going to other Prophets until it came to 5.

 

Thank you for at least trying to read this & trying to Co-Operate with me.[/align]

Far from it.

 

Science consists of theories that fit reality - science tends to be correct, or to evolve until it becomes correct.

Religion is mostly about unproven (and unprovable) theories, and among its main traits is that of hardly ever evolving.

 

That said, I'm a Catholic, and I do believe there is more than enough space in one's mind to fit both the scientific and the spiritual. Neither hurts provided you have common sense, and from then on, it's nobody's call but your own.

[spoiler=Warning - Potentially offensive]

 

 

You can't argue that it's not true.

 

I'm atheist, but I do not discriminate people by their religion. It does bug me however when religious groups try to "impose" their belief upon me - frankly, this is ignorant and impolite. I make my own decisions in life.

[Sander]

Nope.

 

Not religious at all.

 

But I won't say that there isn't a god out there, it would be too much of a drag to try and give solid proof that god doesn't exist. =/

[b']Or the most believable evidence.[/b]

Considering your starting premise is "X and Y are all theories, thus neither is correct", I don't need to disprove you because the assumption is intrinsically wrong. Theories can be right, and many times, with proper development, they are.

 

The "most believable evidence" provided by science is, more often than not, the truth. Obviously enough, some theories are indeed nothing more than "the most believable evidence", namely the Big Bang, while others are fact. And facts are born from theories. So seriously, I fail to understand how it being "all theories" means it isn't genuinely correct. What's wrong about, say, the theory of gravity?

 

And yes, religion is mostly about unprovable theories, no need to scratch it. You cannot prove that God spoke from the heavens as Jesus was baptised and a white pigeon descended upon Him. It's unlikely, and unprovable. If it was provable, it wouldn't require faith.

[Umbra]

Well, I believe in something. There might have been some greater deity that set Creation off, triggered the Big Bang or whichever theory is correct. And then, it simply moved on. Some consider it religion. Other consider it science.

 

Just my two cents.

And should it one day be proven, science goes into the dumps. (For the most part, because it would only require a simple answer).

 

Sorry, I'm going for the optimistic look on both ends.

You can't take away from science what it has already proven - you can only eventually add to religion what is yet to prove. Both have their merits, science just got a head start in the "proving" department. ;)

So far, you are the only one who is making much sense.

[【Demonic Queen】]

You know both science and religion got there flaws into there statements. Like some things science can simply find an explanation for it. Also there a flaws in almost every bible. Although science seems to add up most things there is always some part they can't explain, while the bible or whatever does explain it it seems kinda hard to believe.
