Many religions go and claim to be the way to true peace. A rather boisterous claim really. The general idea being that if you can get everyone to follow this one religion you would get peace. The thing is that by pushing such an idea you get war. And even beyond that all those who follow the same... Sign in to see full entry.

I’LL TRY TO CORRECT A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING HERE
It would seem that many here believe I have a problem with religion and actual beliefs. That is far from the truth. I hold great respect for people’s beliefs. I defend the right for everyone to believe as they need to. I have seen people who have serious problems find their solution through... Sign in to see full entry.

THE SINS OF THE FATHER
I had a little debate recently with maryx in which she started to defend God punishing through the idea of ‘Sins of the Father’. Somehow she was able to justify such a thing as being an effective form of punishment. The straight out truth of the idea is that anyone who punishes people, including God...

WHY THE CHURCH IS AFTER HARRY POTTER
The Pope has gone and expressed his dislike for the franchise. We have seen many religious groups go and protest the books as well. It seems that a lot of religious people want to jump on the wagon and point out the 'evil' of Harry Potter. In reality they just want attention and this is a great way... Sign in to see full entry.

DEMONS? WHO’S AFRAID OF DEMONS?
Yesterday on TLC they had a show about hauntings. In this episode they showed a family who had gone and rented a house which they got a very good deal for. They soon learned that the house used to be a mortuary because the owners left a room full of the tools of the trade there (This made no sense... Sign in to see full entry.

SO JUST WHAT CAN FAITH DO?
Believers really love to use the word ‘faith’ as a way to overlook anything that does not agree with their beliefs or a way to defend their belief no matter how impossible those beliefs might get. One of the great downfalls of religious beliefs is putting too much faith into faith. I have no problem... Sign in to see full entry.

WHY DO BELIEVERS DO ALL THEY CAN TO TRIVIALIZE GOD
It really seems that most concepts of God trivialize that idea of God with-in the concept itself. I have been trying to point that out by showing the contradiction in the ideas of an all-powerful or infinite God. In both cases the whole concept trivialize God through creating the contradiction and... Sign in to see full entry.

WHY RELIGIOUS SCIENCE AND REASON JUST CAN NOT WORK
There is a very strong pattern whenever you debate with believers. It is a pattern than can be clearly seen through out history. This pattern is the real issue as to why religious science is a joke. The way sicken works is you take an idea and look at it to see if it will work or not. You have to... Sign in to see full entry.

“WE CAN NOT COMPREHEND THE IDEA OF ALL-POWERFUL OR INFINITE." SAYS WHO?
I get told this a lot by believers. I am not sure they understand just what infinity is. All-powerful, power without limits and the like are actually very easy to understand. Such ideas are much easier than great power with limits. When dealing with no limits you need not think about limits, which... Sign in to see full entry.

I HAVE NOT GOTTEN ANY ATTEMPT AT AN ANSWER FOR THIS ONE
It is interesting because normally when I present a question I will get someone to try and give some kind of an answer. Believers will stretch things like crazy and practically invert concepts on the spot, rewriting as they go in order to make things work. So here I am having presented a question...
