Prove me wrong

[K9Lawliet]

I'm thinking there has to be flaws to my logic. If you can find them please point them out.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think that all the religions say that only their religion is right and everyone else's is wrong. If so this can only mean that there are definitely people who have created religious beliefs, whether god exists or not.

If the gods that we speak of do not exist then you would have to agree that the mind created god. If it is possible that the mind could create god then I think it's too risky to choose one of the religions and spend your whole life worshipping that god when you could find out that the chosen god is the wrong one or there might not even be a god.

You started a religion thread...therefore, you will be inevitably proven wrong by someone, but only after a significant amount of flames.

And why would it be risky to follow something that makes you feel as if you have a purpose in life?

 

[Nmil-ek]

Oh yeah because the religious thread that got locked a few hours ago went down so very well.

 

[TheLastCylon]

Well, to be honest there isn't much to prove wrong. After all, it's just your opinion on the matter.

 

[Ironic]

By your logic, there are multiple conclusions:

Man's mind created God.

or

Man's mind perceives God.

or

Man's Mind cannot accept nothingness, and so God is just an expression of the unknown.


Therefore,

God is real in the mind,
God is real, and we sense it,

or God is real in the same way that the mathematical term infinity is real, it is used only to make sense of what we cannot empirically express.

Just go with the majority religion. Its probably safest.
HELL YEAH! CHRISTIANITY!

Actually most religions do not say that their's is the only right one and that all others are false. Many would agree that they wrship different aspects of the same god.
But god is a fabrication of the human mind that comes from a lack of uinderstanding the universe around us. The concept of god is used to fill in blanks that we have no explanation for such as the whole meaning of life shit.
Religion and the concept of god is also used by many to fill a spiritual void some think they require to lead a full life.
There is no god!

I don't believe in religion, just faith.

How can I prove something wrong that states there is no god?

Spoiler: The answer could be offensive to some people.

I can't, because it's right.

I'm not sure if Christianity is the biggest religion, but it is probably the most influential. Especialy in the media and in the entertainment industry.

I'm sorry, but I'm on a diet - I'm afraid my doctor said no flamewars.
Bad for the ol' ticker, y'know.

I argee. These threads always end badly. I better set up the flame shield.

So, you're saying that wrong religions are wrong? Am I missing something?

It's still the biggest if you can count Catholicism. I think Islam is number 2.

Oh geez, this shit again. Why do new people insist on starting religion threads?

Who cares. You won't find out until you die. Obviously.

I think if there is a god, theres only one god but different religions interpret him differently. But religion was made by man to worship the god, but since humanity is flawed so is religion so you cant really blame it. In my eyes religion is a force that binds kindred people and those alike into one unity of love and prosperity, and its what sets cultures apart so i enjoy it, to a point.

Yes I was very specific saying 'the gods that we speak of'. If there is a god that we dont really know about and maybe is a combination of all the religions together then this means that when people create new gods with their minds, no matter what they come up with it is the same god. It would mean that you should worship any god and it is the right one. I'm an atheist so it doesn't end well for me lol.

Right...well I beleive your somewhat right. Regardless, this is not the place to talk about religion.
