Prove me wrong

[clicketycrack]

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

i dont think that is wise. the Nazis were the majority party in Germany in the 1940's, does that mean it was safest to side with them?

you fail by godwin's law

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.

Buddhism. Religion. No god. Consider yourself wrong proven.

 

[Mojave]

Because the alternative scares people more.

But why not point your argument a different direction? If the mind is capable of creating god, what are the limits to all the beautiful things it can create?

 

[Akai Shizuku]

I do believe that there is a god, because when a rabbit runs through the snowy forest, it inevitably leaves tracks behind. And a hunter can always tell when a deer is around by finding its droppings.

Although it's obvious some people are just making stuff up with all the wacky new religions coming out. Did you know there's actually a religion based on following Jedi teachings?

 

[Frankydee]

I'm a (less than devout..) LDS follower myself and it's our belief that other religions aren't necessarily wrong but rather they have what I can only explain as "parts."

This be it doctrinal beliefs or moral grounds.

Apologies that I don't have a better explanation for it.

 

[Superhyperactiveman]

Generally, the religions themselves don't say "I'm right; you're wrong". Their official statement is "Religious tolerance" It's just that every single group has its idiots... And then they start flinging their poo and their rocks and their grenades.

Personally, I'm just against organized religion. I think believing in God or gods should be like a political party. You believe or you don't, and that's the extent.

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

there could always be multiple gods you know, so no matter what you lose.

Buddhists don't believe their religions is the only "way". Religion Doesn't get you closer to God N00B it only tells you what you have to do to get closer to God and essentially all major religions tell you to to be good to others and yourself and that's not "too risky". If you picked the wrong god or religion, oh well what you gonna do about it when you're DEAD. If we knew for certain that there is no god at all then we might as well be cunts and douches to each other. At least in my opinion.

I don't believe in god and I don't be a **** or a DOUCHE to people. I?m good to people because i like to see them happy. If someone NEEDs religion to be good, there not truly good

how about...Yah, how about we STOP MAKING FUCKING RELIGOUS THREADS! iT IS NOT A GOOD TOPIC. I REPEAT, IT IS NOT A GOOD TOPIC.

 

[Silver Scribbler]

I suppose it's rather sad that a thread about religion is deigned to turn into a flame war by most people, but then who am I to deny this, with my limited experience.

OT, while your logic MIGHT be sound, religion is an idea that evidently defies logic. The fear of mortality has nothing to do with logic, and so why should many people's solution to it have anything to do with logic?
Just to be clear, I am not being anti-religious. I completely respect anybody's belief in any religion, even if I am a devout atheist myself.

Your conclusion is that the mind creates god. With that conclusion, you would also have to agree that if the mind creates god, then everyone has created their own god without there actually being that many gods. Everyone creates their own god(s)/goddess(es) therefore whatever you believe is correct due to the fact that your mind has created it.

With that being said, everyone is correct in their religion.

 

[MikeOfThunder]

I remember reading that the Roman empire was actually fairly alright with any religion in the beginning. It just incorporated them into its own religion. It was only when christianity came along in Europe that the idea of "My god is the only true god" came about (in europe, don't know about the rest of the world). Before that, many people believed in several...

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

Me too, 1 is too many.

 

[niglett]

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?

tell you the truth its bean proven that kids join gangs because it makes them feel like they have a purpose.

i think gangs are risky business.



also me not being of the religious type but wants one i could believe. i have studied most main stream religions and they are built opposing each other but stick to a general rule set.
so to put it simple religion puts people against those of other religions.

in a world with out religion or a world where everyone is the same religion we'd have a lot less war. and a lot less people claiming there god is the only god and everyone should believe you.

 

[TheNumber1Zero]

if you have no belief for the afterlife,then what do you have?

also have fun getting this topic locked after a pyrobattle(flame war)

I didn't say you need religion to be good. Most religions "reward" you for being good; so by being good you will go to heaven despite not believing in God. It may be a godless "be here now" heaven but that's why you are good with others so YOU can feel good about it right now and if you are good to people all the time you must be a saint.
And I thought this thread was about "Proving [OP] Wrong".

 

[AkJay]

Wow, you've just learned what every mal-content teenager learns in middle-school, nice.

 

[Kriptonite]

Wow, still not locked eh? Congrats. Anyway, what does it matter if you're wrong? People make poor choices every day.

 

[Nicky 3 Beaves]

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

Ha Ha your avatar pictures matches what said so well

In all honesty however this thread will not end so well..
