Every time I visit the debate forum these days I'm swamped in threads about bloody God. 'The concept of sin', 'atonement theology', 'why organised religion is a crock', BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. Every one of these threads is a) dull, dull, dull and b) totally devoid of any element of debate. Apparently it's impossible to debate whether or not God exists - i ...[text shortened]... political context would of course be tolerated - if grudgingly).
Erm, anyone agree?

Originally posted by blindfaith101You miss the point. If believers never said anything, then non-believers would never have cause to say anything either. So if you never bothered anyone with your preaching, then the topic would just go away. Non-believers only feel the need to speak up in response to the preaching of believers.

Non-believers are much more devout than believers. As far as I can tell. But I'm in a perpetual state of confusion and wonder.
The thing about non-believers is that they feel more confidence in their dogma. They are safe. And they show it. But... a religion is still a religion. All the qualities of "religiousness" apply to "non-believers".
They "know" for sure. They have "no doubt". Wouldn't it be wonderful?
To understand all of physics based on faith? As non-believers do?

I think.
I wonder how you got to where you are.
Must be a wonderful thing to know all things. And still be human.
Wonderful. For you. I wish I could do that.
Just as I envy the non-believers their perfect knowledge. Surety. Safe passage through reality.
Good on you both?

Had they only known what they had done. But they didn't. They went before the whip into evolution. Poor things.
Originally posted by blindfaith101Nope, I'm not. By that argument the chess and site ideas forums would also be busy eroding the free speech of their users. All I was saying is that the debates forum has become swamped with religious argument after religious argument, or rather religious slanging match after religious slanging match, and for many of us it's all profoundly boring. And that goes for the threads begun by fervent atheists as much as to the preaching of the God squad. Surely you'd all be so much happier if you were given your own little space to shriek at each other in?
