Apologetics 301 Guidelines

If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you


This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

    A New Religion

    Tags: None

    "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

    There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

      Actually the barrier is quiet high. You have to accept the ramblings of a mad man.

        In other words Humanism?

          yep...
          Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

            Not a new religion by any means.
            The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

              Historical updating for you.

              This was tried by Voltaire, to some degree Rousseau and Montesquieu as well, and one adherent was a certain Robespierre.

              Thanks, Sparko, for telling how I add the link here!

                Perhaps, but it is the core of every religion. The fact that it is the common core tells us that all the other paraphernalia including creeds and holy books are redundant and even a distraction from the purpose of religion which presumably is communion with God. The creeds and the holy books and everything else are all accidents of history and therefore we should not be obsessive about them.

                  So basically firstfloor is admitting he has a God complex.

                  Hey Firstfloor make a gold brick appear on my desk. That should be easy for a god.

                    See now, you said something that added to the definition. This is bound to lead you astray. Resist embellishment.

                      Very similar to the Unitarian Universalist Church, which has existed for many years.

                        Does this "common core" talk to you often? Is the "common core" talking to you right now?

                          But:
                          Definition of God
                          1. God is expressed in the words and deeds of human beings.

                          So do a deed, God. Make me a gold brick. Pirates like gold, ya know. It would be a good deed.
