    The real Messiah!!!

    Nah, I don't generally follow anyone as confused or deluded with grandieur as yourself. Just a personal choice. Seriously bro, I don't know if you're being serious here, and you can believe what you want, but you're really really stupid if you honestly think you're some kind of Messiah...

    The real Messiah!!!

    If you really are the messiah, then make sure you establish a church. Start with a small, tight knit group of people who believe your message, and eventually grow your numbers. In order to spread your message, make sure they donate a significant portion of their income to your church, and then...

    Defining Lust

    I would go a step further and say that lust is the act of thinking/ fantasizing about your sexual/ romantic desires. I agree though- lust is natural, and not bad in and of itself.

    The Meaning of Life

    The meaning of life is that it's meant to be lived. Our most basic instincts tell us this. Do what makes you happy so long as it doesn't unfairly hurt others, and try to do things that benefit more than just yourself. To be a producing member of society, skilled at your craft, taking what you...

    Are Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, etc. a means of normalizing religious ideals for kids?

    Good responses so far. I especially like this one, I might end up doing this some day:

    Atheist Desire to Disprove God

    I agree 100%. It's understandable, too. The church is made of men, who look out for their own self interests.

    Is Christianity White supremacy?

    Well, considering that there are many other ethnicities that practice Christianity, I wouldn't say that it's a "front for white supremacy". Many latin people, black people, Asians, as well as white people all are Christians. However, religion has been used by many evil people in the past. I...

    The Westboro Baptist Church's hate extends beyond Homosexuals

    This is exactly what it is. They go do their protests at places they think they'll be able to gode bystanders into attacking them, and then they sue the **** out of anyone who takes the bait. They're not a real church, it's a scam.

    devil worshipping a sign of mental illness?

    Interesting. So you're some sort of polytheist then? Or would you say that all Gods are just smaller parts of the larger whole, similar to the Trinity in the Catholic faith? Just curious. I've actually never heard of "Demonolators".

    What evidence for God

    Here's the question, though- how do we come about this "divine revelation"? If you're not brought up with some specific faith, then your values become placed on logic, science, reason. In the context you're describing it, "faith" is merely the ability to believe in something without any...

    devil worshipping a sign of mental illness?

    Are you a theistic Satanist, or an atheistic one (think Church of Satan/ LaVey)?

    Are Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, etc. a means of normalizing religious ideals for kids?

    To expound, my point is that if you believe in a fat bearded man living in uninhabited frozen lands, making toys for well behaved children with a factory of elves, driving a sleigh pulled by flying reindeer, delivering billions of presents in a miniscule amount of time to children across the...

    Are Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, etc. a means of normalizing religious ideals for kids?

    Hey guys, this is my first thread here. As mentioned in the title- do you think it's possible that these childhood fairy tales/ mystical beings are a means of making the mysticism of religion easier to swallow for kids? I can't remember where I remember hearing this, might've been TV or...

    The power of prayer

    Obviously i'm not a Christian, but I go to a Jesuit university, and have picked my friends brains before. Alot of prayer is meditative, and is kind of a way of reflecting and thinking about the things in your life; asking for things you want for yourself and your loved ones, or giving thanks to...

    Atheist Desire to Disprove God

    Well, I don't know what thread you're talking about, but I'm simply saying that not all (and honestly- very few) Atheists are God bashing, abrasive ********. I don't have a problem with other people believing in deities, or being deeply religious. I might not see eye to eye with them, and...

    Homosexuality observed in Animals: Not so Unnatural After All

    United Church of Canada... that gave me a good chuckle.

    Abortion, What about it?

    Lofty claims there man, so the Torah chronicles unfathomable spiritual dramas? At what point does Zeus jump in and start hurling lightning bolts, for my reference?

    devil worshipping a sign of mental illness?

    Well, "Devil Worshipping" is an extremely nebulous term, so i'm guessing you mean satanism? The most widely practiced form of Satanism is LaVey's atheistic belief system, detailed in The Satanic Bible; the official establishment thereof is The Church of Satan, which (via Wiki): Although a...

    Homosexuality observed in Animals: Not so Unnatural After All

    I understand that your religion denounces homosexuality. What i'm asking is for you to use logic alone to explain why it's immoral. Most of the things Abrahamic religions discourage are actually valid; murder, rape, theft, etc are all deplorable, categorically evil things to do. Noone...

    Homosexuality observed in Animals: Not so Unnatural After All

    Sniper, could you possibly create a logical argument for why homosexuality is morally wrong? Without citing scripture, of course.
