Author Topic: Marriage with my best friend  (Read 12026 times)

This is so true. Also, for anyone that wants to say "I chose to believe in god myself" or something, think about this; Your mom convinced you that a fat guy rode a magical sleigh driven by flying loving deer and delivered presents to everyone in the world. Without any evidence of it, too. ;D

This whole post is an assumption. You assume that people who believe in a God do it because their "mommy told them". You also assume every single religious parent lies to their child about fantasy creatures such as Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.

In addition, if there are people who believe in a God only because of what their parents taught them (which I'm sure there are), it's still irrelevant to the point of the topic, which is "Is Religion Credible?".

Calm down dude. Hopefully you'll remember to take your meds tommorow because you definitely need them

"Is Religion Credible?".

1) The point of the topic was he's been arranged to marry his best friend by his parents.
2) Religion was a credible source about 100 years ago, and that was stretching it. Scientific proof now far outweighs "faith", which is a mindless belief in something without any sort of evidence whatsoever.

Tone is hard to type on the computer. It wasn't meant to be hostile, just objective.

I was talking about the topic we're currently talking about. We've derailed from the original topic a while back.

2) Religion was a credible source about 100 years ago, and that was stretching it. Scientific proof now far outweighs "faith".

If religion could be proven, it wouldn't be called a "faith". That much is true. But even though science can give us reasonable information about the world, it also requires quite a bit of faith if the data is going to be taken as "true", seeing as there are inaccuracies there as well.

Nice job Inverted, derailing another topic into the religious-debate abyss.

I still like how Madmitten never said what country he is from and his race.

Madmitten, WHAT ART THOU?!

Okay, since you're so enlightened, explain to me how you think evolution by natural selection works. I'm willing to bet $1000 that you won't get it right without looking it up.

You're ignorant, and you attempt to hide it by saying that no one understands your beliefs. The reality is that we all understand your beliefs. We all also understand how blatantly incorrect you are. There is no alternative theory to the diversification of life than evolution, and even if evolution by natural selection was proven false, that doesn't say anything about creationism. Your logic is assuming that if evolution = false, then creationism = true. Go take a logic class, because there is no evidence in support of your outlandish and radical religious beliefs, when there are literally mountains of it behind evolution.

Get out, you have no place in modern society.


Way to assume my position into a straw man you can easily knock down!

3/4ths of the statements in that paragraph are simply irrational assumptions, obviously made to be easy to refute, so you can feel better about yourself.  Nice work.

Any real Christian uses science, and believes in natural selection.  While we believe in microevolution by natural selection (which is observed), we do not believe in unobserved macroevolution which true, observational science can't prove whatsoever.  You can't say (as all evolutionists do, without reason) that because microevolution is true, macroevolution must also be true.  Just because a dog can change into another kind of dog, doesn't mean that dog could change into an entirely different species later on.  There is no current or fossil evidence ANYWHERE that supports macroevolutionist beliefs.  All "supposed" evidence has been revealed to be falsified, or simply a hoax.  Archeopteryx?  Falsified.  Even current evolutionists claim that Archeopteryx doesn't support the theory.  Go ahead, throw your sources at me.  In fact, give them to Dr. Kent Hovind, who has had a cash reward of $50,000 up for decades, for one single piece of true evidence support evolution.  No one has taken the money.

Frankly, it takes much more faith to believe in a hypothesis (or, more truthfully, pure conjecture) which has no proof whatsoever, than to believe in the Bible.  So what if your evolution is backed by the majority of so-called "scientists"?  The consensus of scientists in history has notoriously turned out to be false most of the time, whether it be behavioral physics as put forth by Aristotle, geocentrism (which was never backed by Protestantism, by the way), or continental drift being REJECTED by the majority of scientists.

The obvious alternative theory to evolution is supernatural Creation.  Of course it isn't backed by "modern" science.  Guess what, the atheistic scientists who created "modern" science gave it a definition excluding any phenomenon such as Creation.  I wonder why that is?  It becomes even funnier when true science was founded in Christendom, carried on for 300 years by great scientists such as Newton, Kepler, and many, many others.

Obviously, none of your raging arguments hold water.  I have a great place in modern society, and right now that appears to be here, refuting you soundly.

We've speciated lots of things. Way to be behind current science. You can't win, and any real scientist will show that.

Interestingly enough, Kent Hovind doesn't have a doctorate in anything.

You should be embarrassed by this paragraph. You made a huge assumption. You cannot assume that the only alternative to evolution is creation. Really, go to a real school. You don't have a place in modern society. You don't deserve the right to use technological advances given to us by modern science. You are simply a detriment to the species.

Let's hope you don't reproduce.

The scientific method also existed long before Christianity, you imbecilic inbred. The Greeks were not Christian, neither the Egyptians nor the Persians nor the Mesopotamians.

I love you.

A Religious Flame war has begun

No, bigoted fundamentalist Christians decided to show their true colors.

A Religious Flame war has begun

For all we know science can be a blanket covering our eyes from what really exists, or God never existed and we just needed an explanation for our being here, that's all.

also, WTF HAS HAPPENED?!?!
Im gone another 5 pages and there is a religious flame war outbreak

I'd have to say that marriage should be with someone who is your best friend. Those marriages last longer and are more likely to reduce a great deal of stress because you already have a lot in common and don't need to argue about everything. I say go for it. If it doesn't work out, there's always divorce.
