j1985 1,983 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Also Iv found out not just on here but at work (occasionaly having to go to religious seminars and exhibitions where people from the world over attended) that arguing on this subject gets you nowhere, its in our Dna to defend our beliefs! A sceptic can't ask a simple question without being jumped on by a highly defensive religious person, there's never any sensible debates just a sensible question asked and either a defensive reply or riddles. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,118 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Just because man wrote a book about God that is scientifically false......doesnt mean God did not or does not exist. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I always find the irony in these topics. The believers say "Just show me one thing where science disproves the bible." If they were asked to show where the bible disproves science, they couldn't. Selecting a bit of text that may or may not have been written hundreds of years ago, proves nothing. I'm in no way making fun of believers. If that's your bag, then good luck to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Astanley 11,568 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I don't understand why people are so keen to prove\disprove the existence of a higher being ,if you believe ,then god exists ,if you don't believe then he doesn't , nothing to argue about .

scothunter 12,609 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 You always go to the source of something to learn. If its nonsense & full of holes i tend to pay it no heed! btw if you get comfort and peace of mind with religion & a divine being then fill your boots im not slating anyone its just i need a bit more to convince me. it all started when one monkey looked@ the sun & told the other monkey "he said for you to give me your f***ing share!

MIK 4,756 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 This topic cracks me up these days, thl massive are not experts in the bible lol Whoever on this topic says science disproves the bible, id like to see it, because morder acadamiea cannot do this, so I doubt anyone on here can. But its everyones choice what they beleive, but I find it funny people scoff at the bible but cant disprove it in anyway. So you are telling me a pair of penguins walked from the South Pole to the Middle East floated about on an ark for 40 days and 40 nights then walked back ? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 28,438 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Religion gives weak people someone to believe in because they don't have the confidence to believe in themselves, and with the big world telling everyone they are inadequate, it's easy see why it works, little girls want to be grown women, grown woman want to be girls, blondes want dark hair brunettes want to be blond, even men are turning into birds, it's all about undermining your self confidence, because then you will turn to someone or something else, but the end result is the same, it will cost you money, to fit someone else's agenda, just learn to love yourself and your family and you won't need a false demy God, 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted September 14, 2016 Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 I think the minute you stop trying to look at God as " a man " you start to see things with a clearer mind......ive tried to go to church but i just dont feel comfortable it feels like everyones staring at me although i know they,re not but i guess its an area of life we all have to just figure out on our own.....ive got a little hideaway abroad that i spend a lot of time at and theres a tiny little chapel tucked away up in the hills a few miles away i can sit in there for hours and completely clear my mind.....its then that everything makes sense and regardless of any scientific literature nothing makes as much sense as belief in a higher power......only when i come back to this crazy place do i even begin to doubt it ! That makes you spiritual, not religious. Being able to find some kind of inner peace and calm in this crazy ol' world, no matter how fleeting, can only be a good thing. Long may it continue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
