It really does annoy me arguing with Christians because their god can do anything ;). Always a loophole.

I'd like to be able to think of myself an Atheist, but the notion of burning in hell for eternity does scare me. Guess that makes me agnostic ;). Oh, and a coward.

Gotta get ready for TAFE. Brb like 30 mins.

It doesn't have to be stated in religious text. I'm not dismissing a higher power, I am dismissing the Christian God.

Excuse me but when you speak of religion being convenient, what do you expect me to say? If you would believe in something because it's convenient that's taking the easy way out. I'm not saying that's why you believe in god, and in fact I never stated you took the easy way out.

The Christian God supposedly created the earth in six days. Oh wait, it took billions of years for the Earth to form O_O cool story bro.


I'm at work and have no desire to get into a drawn-out religious debate or to pick apart Bible verses. This whole argument has been discussed countless times on here and on internetz in general. I have my arsenal of retorts and I'm assuming that you have yours. Let us just leave it at that. We aren't going to change eachother's mindset so let's not waste eachother's time.

When I speak of religion being convenient? Excuse me, but YOU are the one that brought it up to begin with good sir.

You keep making stereotypes about religions in general. Yes, you can keep saying that you didn't direct those claims towards me all you want but the simple fact of the matter is that you ARE stereotyping a large group of people without any factual backing whatsoever. Get off your high horse and realize that most people don't follow a religion because it is the "easy way out"...they follow it because it makes them happy and it is what they feel is right. If it works for them then that is all that matters, and you have no right to tell them that they are doing it because it is "easier" to do than other routes.

It's even more useless arguing about religion than it is useless believing in a religion.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Well considering that, in my opinion, believing in a religion isn't "useless" then yes, you are correct.

However, it is obvious what the motives of your post were.
