why are you an atheist?

edited

Well, I don't think that homosexuality is wrong. I'm moderately pro-choice. I support assisted suicide. I disagree with certain churches (I'm thinking primarilly about Southern Baptists, here) about the "proper place" of women. I don't disaprove morally with premarital sex (although I think it's a bad idea, what with the risks of pregnancy and HIV). I don't like the idea that you can be a terrible person and then make it all better simply by confessing your sins and saying a few Hail Marys (although that's strictly Catholic, I suppose). On the other hand, I don't like the idea of people being eternally punished for their sins--no matter how terrible a person you are, there will come a point where you've paid for sins, and after that, it would be unjust to keep that person in Hell.

We're straying way off topic here, though.

We are aren't we? but few discussions ever remain neutral, particularly those about religion.

no, that is not what i meant, and I've already explained that.Trying to make me sound like the idiot here is not going to help you.

A primativce simian like creature that is now obviously extict because we eveoled from it and have thuse changed so so much that we are almost completly different from them externaly.

If this os gonna become an evolution discussion please take it into that thread so we can destroy you there. Thanks!

well its on topic, since those are reasons why you dont believe.
But yes this thread has gotten way to complex.
Its my fault for asking such a complex question.

Don't blame yourself, these forums are all about expressing your opinions. You've done nothing wrong.

Evolution is a belief.
The religion of the unbeliever.

No, evolution is a scientific theory with plenty of evidence to back it up.

Anyone who does not realize that evolution is a religion does not know much about evolution.

Professor Louis T. More, one of the most vocal evolutionists says, "The more one study Paleontology the more certain one becomes that evolution is based on faith alone."

you said it yourself, "theory"

ITS NOT A FRICKEN RELIGION! ITS A FACT!!!!!!!!!!! DAMMIT!
RELIGION IS FAITH BASED, EVOLUTION IS FACT BASED!!! NOT RELIGION!

there I put in caps, do you get it now!

I suggest you check the Evolution thread before you reply with evolution things again because most of wht you said has been addressed before!

It is a religion that is passionately held by its devotees.

Professor D.M.S. Watson, a famous evolutionist, made the remarkable observation that evolution itself is a theory universally accepted, "not because it has been observed to occur or can it be proved by logically coherent evidence to be true, but because the only alternative, special creation, is clearly incredible."

A famous British evolutionist, Sir Arthur Keith, is just frank in his admission. "evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it because the only alternative is special creation, which is unthinkable."

People accept evolution by blind faith.

why are you getting so angry Tpt, im just going by what evolutionist say

A scientific theory is something that has hard evidence to back it up. Religion is faith based on nothing. Evolution has hard evidence backing it up.

No its a religion, but there is a diffrence between the two

if evolution is right then the same thing happens to people who believe and disbelieve.

If there is a God then we either go to heaven or hell.

See, you're the one that doesn't seem the to understand the difference between scientific theory and religion.

And if we're going to argue this, could we at LEAST take it to the evolution thread? Because there IS a thread specifically for discussing this.

1. Why is it that not a single Creationist seems to be capable of using a dictionary? 🙄

re·li·gion
n.
1. a. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.
b. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.

Last time I checked, evolution does not include belief in any particular god, and in most cases, any supernatural force at all.

the·o·ry
n. pl. the·o·ries
1. A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.

2. Sources for the remarks of these evolutionists?

3. Just because two or three "leading" evolutionists claim that evolution is a religion or that it is not tested and proven does not mean that all evolutionists are the same way. All it means is that these particular evolutionists are morons.

4. Obviously you know nothing about evolution yourself, and I am probably wasting my time re-typing all the obvious answers to the same crap arguments all Creationists make. How about you actually go out and read Darwin's book, since I have read BOTH the Bible and material on science?

http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CA/CA610.html

Here there is the EXACT link to why evolution is not a religion. any other evolutionist that you quoted is either off his rocker or some religios zelot parading around as an evolutionist. and if you do any more diggin on talkorigins (the site I linked) there is plenty of proof and exact, referenced answers to all your little questions.

Thank you DR ✅

And Tpt who posted while I was posting 😛

(note how we've repeatedly asked them to take the evo argument into the evo thread and they've refused...)

Boy, where do I know that word from.. faith... faith... oh yeah! Christianity! Hypocrite.

Come to think of it, you are even more of a hypocrite than I had originally thought--didn't you say earlier that Christians who are hypocrites aren't really Christian? Losing credibility very quickly, aren't we...

SS>Yeah, I did notice that. 😬

I think they're scared of what'll happen once TO rips into them 😂 Someone should show her this thread...😈
