Stef, you have reiterated the current unstucking of my faith. I then wonder if it is possible that the "doom" from a non-believers existance is exaggerated. In one book I read, it described hell more as a place that exists without Gods intervention. This definition seems a little more bearable...

Sigh...it's all a little disheartening isn't it? Proofs and shows such as this serve to discredit Christianity more than ground it. Sadly, it's not all that uncommon within sermons I have heard too. I can't help but be overly critical (not necessarily negatively) of everything that is said from...

Great read, many thanks. Had me laughing at parts by just pointing how the most simplest of assumptions don't have all that much grounding :P

This is very much the situation I find myself in. Last relationship I went into, I went into too fast, and it ended up a huge mess because of it. So in my case these days, I won't make any move until I have liked the person on a serious level for at least 3 or so months. I have no problem in...

Ahh, so I haven't posted for quite a while it seems. Reason being that I have been continually revising what my thoughts are, and thinking over what we have discussed. It seems I have come to a brick wall though - one that at first appears simplistic but so far is proving to be an...

Ha ha, close. In all honesty, I'm just taking a breather for a while and thinking things over in my mind while trying to get into some more material (books, articles etc) for further discussion. I did enjoy WoW for the month I played it though :P

Glad to see that the points quoted make sense. I probably should have mentioned that I was basing this line of thought on how the bible portrays Christ before placing the points forward. This reasoning of course does nothing in relation to the points that both Kfunk and Enteebee brought up. I'm...

Why Christianity? What follows is just some thoughts that have contributed to my current belief in Christianity being accurate. This being as opposed to other major world religions and is done in response to 3unitz and anyone else that would like to read along :) At it's base, Christianity is...

You know what? I've been tossing this round in my head for the past hour or so, and I think I am in agreement with you at the moment. If reasoning is used in all choices then of course we are bound to make one decision over another. I think it's finally clicking. The problem I guess I then...

Yeah, you're probably right here! ha ha. It does seem a little backward to reason that you don't have to reason after all :P Still, I think we end up with a case where it is impossible to prove that we can or cannot choose either choice - at least with any sense of definitive proof. Edit: By...

You realize that all of these points are reason for belief in agnosticism and not atheism?

You know what, maybe you are correct, although possibly not to the degree you are suggesting. I would say that I prefer to look for any possible reason there could be for a God's existance than his non-existance. Why? Simply because if there is no reason, purpose or meaning behind the chaos of...

That looks like quite a good book although it has quite a hefty price attached to it! Again, as I said before, to convincingly show that I could have made the other choice, I would have to go back and time and choose the other choice. With this in mind it becomes an impossibility to prove that...

Yeah, that hurts. I apologize if I sound like I am "mind-numbingly stupid". I can only process what you have said with the brain I have :(

I don't follow. Your telling me if we were sitting in a room and I told you that there was an elephant in the room with us, you wouldn't know what evidence of that elephant to expect? I think we have been through this, but I will state it again. The reason I pose Gods existance is because I see...

The pope is the word of God? The pope is a basic concept of Christianity? Both of these are news to me :P Okay now I hope I'm not sounding to harsh at the moment, but you originally applied what you believed about the popes statement regarding ID to all of Christianity, but now you are only...

1. Yes, impossible in relation to God (hence my point) 2. By thoroughly research I extend it beyond merely trying to look for some evidence. I am suggesting that you must have proved there is no evidence. Well, firstly, if you don't feel this definition of what should be seen as evidence of...

Will try to get back to you 3unitz :) I've had it for tonight though. Cheers

eh, I am getting over this response now: Faires and God are the same thing - dismissable. I will re-iterate again my point. Posing God answers far more questions which are un-answerable by us (at least through science). Origin of the universe, life etc. Absence of evidence is not evidence of...

If I raised a point that said 1/2 of the worlds atheists follow what one atheist believes then does this mean that whatever that person says on a topic is authoritative or conveys truth? Not to mention the fact many of those atheists don't actively pursue their belief (or Catholics in the...
