let's just say that somehow god proves he is real and every word of the bible is true, do you think:
a) humanity would change overnight?
b) it is the only way all of mankind would change for the better?
Originally posted by FMFno, you're mistaken, i dont believe in god, funny how you judged me though, also, had to laugh at the fact you deem my reference to god to be an incorrect one and your one right, maybe with that arrogant attitude you should start up your own religion, after all, they're all built on that narrow minded, pretentious belief you have demostrated so well
What an odd post! The Bible? And then people are pitching in with stuff about "Christ". In my experience, if those are your terms of reference for [b]God it is most likely impossible to have a reasonable discussion with you. "Make way! Make way! I'm a qualified Christian - I can quote the verses". It's like: Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, An ...[text shortened]... n all go and boil your bums for a bit - we are going to really talk about God here.[/b]
Originally posted by PinkFloydAnd what doctrine would that be, I wonder? You haven't even bothered to ascertain what my doctrine is, and yet you've already pronounced it false. How assertive of you. OK, I won't condemn you for your faith if, in return, you don't condemn me for my faith by calling it false. Unless, of course, God has personally told you to denigrate my faith. And only if you are absolutely sure it was Him who told you to do it.
I'm Christian and I defend your right to believe whatever false doctrine you wish. Just don't condemn me for my faith.
Originally posted by eatmybishopIt would seem that, to oppose the incessant and unquestioned propagation of narrow-minded, pretentious beliefs, makes me - in your book - a person with narrow-minded, pretentious beliefs. I suppose I'll just have to take that one on the chin.

You said you... had to laugh at the fact you deem my reference to god to be an incorrect one and your one right. Oh? Where in my post did I purport to make a so called correct reference to God?
You kicked this thread off by talking about God and the Bible in the same breath. So is this thread For Christians Only? Is there any particular reason why you want to start the debate by creating exclusionary, narrow-minded terms of reference?
And isn't it just a wee bit pretentious of you to ask this: let's just say that somehow god proves he is real and every word of the bible is true, do you think [...] humanity would change overnight? which is obviously going to cause God-fearing, verse-quoting believers in Christ to come out of the woodwork... and then you immediately assert that you don't believe in God as soon as someone comments on the limiting and partisan nature of your premise?
Originally posted by saffa73I disagree. I think the Debates / Spirituality split is misunderstood. Arguments about religion can take place here; this is the dick-waving forum. Sincere enquiries into spirituality can take place over there ... What do you think?
Take this to the SPIRITUALITY FORUM please.

Originally posted by FabianFnasAs a rule the ladies seem to steer clear of this place -- can't imagine why. So my comment is merely descriptive and doesn't indicate a dogmatic stance on my part: I'll gladly use a different image if need be.
