Lately there has been a growning tension between atheists( the non beleivers) and the theists(the beleivers) all over the net forums of both sides are brisrtling with insults and its gone to the piont were we dont know who started this ever growning debate( and even if we did know it would not stop). In all objectivity i would like tpo say in a sense both sides are guilty of attacking each other; On all forums those who beleive post and blog insults and vice versa. i find this quite childish,this is how genocides and wars start; One side acuses the other side of injustice or just existing and declares a war or irradication of said side.If both sides think that they are right, that there theory is truth(Im calling it a theory because we cant truly and honestly prove that there is the existence of a all powerfull god or not) why dont thye just leave each other alone because they know that truth(them) and not falseness will prevail at one piont or another, they just have to wait.
lets stop fighting each other, grow up, respect each other, move on and agree to disagree.

If this world were to be more dandy I’d agree. But when your dealing with a more “free” world, and your trying to explain all that is. Theres going to be discussion. As people become more and more free.. religion will relinquish as science prevails to the era of more acute understanding.

Maybe it doesn’t matter at all, if we believe that good can not existit whitout the bad,and bad whitout good.
But on the other hand, maybe that’s what we should do, create good and bad to finally uderstand one day, how to make a balance between them.I dont’konw, I don’t think that one person can, or should, give an answer to this question.This is a global thing.
I’m a theist,but I think the problem is that people today don’t respect each other aneough, and that’s what causes that fights.
But it’s hard to find that respect, when there are soo many completlley different people, with competley differnt personalities.
We can never expect that everybody will agree with one statment.Or with one answer, even if it is a right one.

yes. it does matter. I believe in God and I dont want people spreading that he isnt there. and who are you to say anything considering the fact u cant even spell the word “point”??
and really there has always been arguements about religion. so your idea might sound thoughtful, but it really is not.

I honestly think that religious debate online is not going to lead to war. I think thats a childish notion.

The reason why everyone can’t move on is becuase there’s no profit to be made in peace… :( sad

likethisxoxo: You don’t like people spreading that he isn’t there? Well, others don’t like people like you who keep spreading the belief that he isn’t. Both sides have no proof to back up their claim.
In my opinion, the world would have much less conflict were it not for religion.

why not just live and let live? if you believe in god then hold on to that belief, the disbelief of others shouldn’t worry you if your beliefs are stronger then that. And if you don’t then you shouldn’t have anymore to do with the matter let those who believe in God believe in him, it doesn’t make them stupid and not believing in him dose not make you smarter, but it does make you kinda look kinda like a dick.
for the record, I’m and Atheist, and I think that Atheists who think they’re better then everyone who believes in god are giving Atheists a bad name.
and just cause someone mis-types the word ‘point’ is no reason to disregard what he is saying, it seems to me that people who latch onto such ridiculous reasons are trying to find a way to validate their point without knowing anything about it. maybe I’m wrong, but I think you can and should do better then that when arguing Faith vs. Science. it makes you look bad, even if you have perfect spelling.

JCarax, i guess you’re right.
but still. its annoying.

This debate will continue on untill long after i die (and go to heaven? hell? limbo? disneyland?). The fact of the matter is that this is no matter of fact, it’s an issue of faith. I declair no faith, or lackof one, but only wish to moderate, as it were. Faithfull people claim that go is, the opposit claim that god isnt. What I as is as follows… who are we to descide? if god is he will be, and the inverse is true. why do we argue? either he is or isn’t, was or wasn’t, will or will not be. GET OVER IT! LET TIME TELL! you can neither definitave proove or disproove god, so SOD OFF! that is all.

I think the reason the debate about God’s existence is so strong and divisive is because God either exists of not, there is no middle ground for compromise, and because the two positions are threatening to each other at a very deeply emotional level. If I am a strong believer in God and if God does not exist, then the foundation for my whole life is lost. The same is true if I am an atheist and God does exist. This is not something we can ever agree on. We have to believe one or the other. The best we can do it respect each others’ right to believe differently and to create a society that protects us from the intrusion of others who believe differently. For example, schools should teach both science of the origin of the universe/earth/life and teach what different religions of the world believe about the same subjects so that school children can learn what the different viewpoints and evidence is that exists. Then they can choose their own beliefs. The problems come when we feel so strong about our own beliefs that we feel justified in blocking the beliefs of others (because we are threatened by them).

Yeah, but which God are you referring to?
(As long a I donate money to my local religious institution I have a garunteed ticket into Heaven – a place where nothing “bad” ever happens and therefore a place where nobody is allowed free-will, and why do we bother with having free-will – lets just hand over our minds to someone else…)
Super-Sarcasm switched ON Haahaha
