Do you see anything wrong?

[Emo_Saur_]

I'm rather bothered by the post, I see nothing about family in here...No matter what, unless it's under extreme circumstances I'll always love my family whether or not we're still in contact or not because they are kin to me. She also openly admits that if you don't have god on your mind 99% of the time that you're basically nothing to her. I don't understand, why are people SO close minded that they can't listen "to the other side?" Discuss, I'm curious what others think about this.

oh, and since when has education been a deciding factor if you're a good christian or not? "Oh, he doesn't care about school he must love Lucifer and do drugs."

Still waiting for society to give up on God.. if nobody ever believed in God, we'd probably be flying around in jet cars or something.

Do you know that it there are some people who would group "family" under "friends"? There are many who also likes to keep them as their own separate categories.

Also about religion in general, I have this strange overall belief thinking to believe what you want to believe. If some people don't believe in God, fine. If some do, fine.

I generally respect atheists for their beliefs, but when you go spewing out stuff like this it just angers me. It makes no sense and is 100% false-- and you know it.

Regarding the post, in THEORY putting God first means following his commands, which of course involve loving your family/friends/etc. Of course, some people do take the "God first" thing wayyyy too seriously. I have seen it first hand in my family. Nonetheless, I can assure you 90% of people who put God first are very involved with their friends and family.

Yeah there're all kinds of people, really, and while we may judge others according to our personal beliefs, it's not doing any of us any good to get ourselves all worked up over what someone else's personal beliefs are. We can believe what we will, but getting frustrated over others' beliefs without any real means of debate or discussion is pointless.

Live and let live - I think if most of us can do that, then more will have been done for the progress of man than any major shift towards or away from secularism could bring.

Re: Do you see anything wrong?

Silly girl.

This was how I was brought up:
Not very religious, never went to church except for weddings and funerals. Yes, I personally believe there's a God, but whatever. Anyway, my dad always noted that religion's a nice guidance for people if they're lost (don't kill or steal, etc. because that's bad). Otherwise, it wasn't a big focus for me growing up. Both parents went to catholic schools. My mom's a more heavier follower - her mindset's not as open as my dad's - she doesn't like athiests, or gays, but she's not gonna go picketing. (My sister is an athiest, and I don't think my mom knows - mom once brought up that athiests basically are going to hell. Sister didn't say anything, but was hurt).

Arguing with people about religion is like arguing whether or not the sky is blue. People have their viewpoints, and the close-minded ones are never going to change.

The end.

Roman Empire Fall to Renaissance @ 500~1500. (ouch)

Philosophy classes should be mandatory in school and Religion should be a sub-section in this.
People need to learn how to think on their own, use arguments and some rationality.
Everyone on Planet Earth is agnostic until Bible is proven or refuted kkthxbai.

Re: Do you see anything wrong?

I honestly believe that this subject shouldn't be talked about on FFR.
I'm a person who does believe in God (I'm a Christian), but I'm not the type of person to shut someone out of my life because they do not necessarily agree with my beliefs;hence, all people are different anyway. People can believe whatever they want to believe and anybody who is anybody has that right.

That was the most moronic comment I've ever read in my entire life I'm dying right now.

Why not talk about religion? What's so taboo about discussing religion vs areligion/science? As long as people stay civil and provide proper arguments to their viewpoints I see no problem in discussion of this topic. You might even learn a thing or two.

Also, any "proper" atheist should know not to denounce someone's claims entirely and if/when proven wrong, their viewpoint/theory should be adjusted accordingly. Anyone who insults other groups in the name of atheism gives atheism a bad name and is as bad as any radical religious person in my book. We can't possibly know if a god exists but given the current knowledge and advances in science, chances of a deity are -extremely- slim. So slim I choose to think there isn't and never will be a god. I could be wrong, but until proof shows up I don't assume I am.
