Religion Battleground: Rant and Rave here.

[yuki]

Both Lord of the Rings and The Chronicals of Narnia were both based on the Bible. If you would read some of the Bible before you start ranting you could figure some of this stuff out. And both J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis are Christians.

Then I'll start worshiping Metallica and Iron Maiden, because they use Biblical themes too.

Also, Christians don't "worship" the Bible

Bullllshiiiiiit

It's by God's love

"I love you all, now I must commit xenocide"

Wow Yuki... You are the most ignorant person here on the forums. You tell us to explain things to you, so we do. When you have nothing to say back to us, you try to make witty remarks that make you sound stupid.

You state you are a Christian, yet don't believe in the Bible. That's going against Christianity, proving you are a hypocrite.

A couple of things:

1.

A couple? Why even say that if you're only going to list one number?

Yuki never mentioned Chronicles of Narnia, and either way, the only thing you're saying is that they read the bible. Point being?

Also, Christians don't "worship" the Bible, we worship what God has to say meaning the context of the Bible.

Proof that a higher being had anything to do with a book please.

One question for your Big Bang theory, How does the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics fit in?

From what I've researched about that law, it has nothing to do with the Big Bang.

Yet you agree with Reactor on his theory of the Big Bang. Are you calling his idea false and you agreeing with it? Kinda ironic, don't you think?

Quite a misconception; he was merely stating that it's impossible to prove.

Also, if you haven't noticed yet, I'm Agnostic.

*insert new conflict*

Christianity says that their religion is the One True Religion, and you must believe in their God only and fully, otherwise you will not be forgiven for sins and be punished for eternity when you die.

Islam says that their religion is the One True Religion, and you must believe in their God only and fully, otherwise you will not be forgiven for sins and be punished for eternity when you die.

The Notepad Text Document I Wrote Three Minutes ago that you must believe in and worship me only and fully, otherwise you will not be forgiven for sins and be punished for eternity when you die.

How do I know which religion, out of these, is 'correct'? If I pick a 'wrong' one (out of the many religions that all say this), I get punished because of a chance? Is my [supposed] eternal life really to decided on a random lottery with no proof for anything?

As long as you believe what I said, you'll never go to Hell.

DO WHAT I SAY OR BE PUNISHED LOL

My standards for a ticket to hell are Murder and Rape. Exception of Mercy-Killing and Self-Defense.

Shut up, there's no way that burning for eternity is necessary for revenge, or teaching them a lesson. What kind of lesson is that anyhow? I'm sure 15 billion years in damnation would make anyone realize what they did was wrong no matter what it was that they did.

Also my theory on Christianity: Jesus was a good man. In his lifetime he conjured a set of morals that all human beings should follow, and realized that they were right (which they were. Now he was at a dilemma. There was no way to convince the less intelligent people around him to do the right thing, so he got the idea to make a religion that forces people to by threatening them with eternal damnation. He tricked people in to thinking that he had powers from a superior being named "God" by doing magic tricks for them (I bet this was really easy back then). I also think he had a few select people on his side that knew of his plan. Then after he was captured, he still went through with his plan, and suffered all of that pain and sorrow for us. The future of the human race, to ensure that we stayed safe from inhumane torture and suffering. Although it was an amazing idea back then, it isn't really any more due to advances in society to the point where we don't need such strict rules. I feel Jesus deserves a lot of recognition for his great deeds, but I don't think we need the training wheels of religion to keep us as good people. We should be able to stay good people without an eternal punishment in place.

Heil notepad.

I'm just as correct and logical as Christianity with it, unless Being Thousands of Years Old automatically makes it right.

Self-defensive rape?

I know what you mean.

You also can't murder someone in self-defense.

[yuki]

You also can't murder someone in self-defense.

"Homicide" would be the correct term.

I'm gonna take a WILD guess here and
say you guys believe in the wind, sure
you can't see or touch it, but it's there.

We can touch it.
We can see it with a scanning tunneling microscope.
We know for a fact it exists, it's science.

That was a really stupid response.

The Big Bang Theory just so happens to be a THEORY, they don't consider it to be fact.  Read something thoroughly before you comment on it.

One question for your Big Bang theory, How does the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics fit in?

I'm not quite sure what connection you are trying to make between the expansion and contraction of the universe and the laws of thermodynamics.

I suppose I would state that the total quantity of energy and/or mass in the universe remains constant, even it changes form. As the universe expands it transfers much of it's energy into potential energy (caused by an increasing distance between celestial bodies). At some point I assume the KE will reach zero and all the matter and energy in the universe will start to collapse in on itself increasing it's kinetic energy and finally colliding to cause a new big bang.

It is likely that the colossal energies involved allow the system to continue itself largely unscathed from the effects of entropy. It could also be that the entropy cycles along with the matter/energy contained within the universe; increasing as it expands and decreasing as it collapses.
