you are correct in saying that an indeviduals views on an issue do not change it's underlying reality (assuming it has one). in other words, god does or does not exist regardless of whether or not I beleive in god. in the same way that the planet we live on is spherical or flat regardless of the views of those on it. however my point is that I say that t use to expound our point of veiw / argument, it is nie on impossible to come to any agreement.

Originally posted by EcstremeVenomThats very true. From my experience though, the real problem is Christians cutting down non-Christians via promises of eternal damnation, moral inferiority, etc. I don't force my beliefs down other people's throats. However, the same courtesy is rarely extended my way in these forums.
99% of people here cut down religion, if you dont believe in it you shouldnt make fun of it just let people believe what they want.
Originally posted by EcstremeVenom99%? Maybe 33%. For every person taking a jab at religion, there is a wacko fundies spouting nonsense on here. Add to them the reasonably intelligent xians and we're outnumbered!

But do you inform them of what the BIBLE says happens to those who reject truth? or do you allow them to continue in ignorance?
