There Is No Devil.

"Did you just call me a jive turkey???"
"no..no...i called you a cock sucker"
"yeah...he called you cock sucker...that's all..."
 
Religion is the synthetic apriori and it's a part of human nature. You all have some variation of the same psychological orientation that leads people to religion. Assuming you are human.
 
Does religion really make sense to any believer out there? I mean, really, in your own mind, does it make sense? I could never get past that, when I was calling myself a Christian, I never really truly believed it, just as far as a childs mind could take it I guess. I'm just wondering if anyone out there is the same way?

"Religion" makes no sense to me. To me, Jesus is totally anti-religion. That is why he got killed! He was a threat to the ruling religious authorities!
Anyway, Jesus has nothing to do with 'religion.'
Christ is above and beyond 'religion'. He is the Truth.

Religion works along peer pressure points....like most social structures of man.

I totally agree.
"Religion" is also a 'feel good' thing. People get into it because it makes them feel good. When I got 'saved' I certainly didn't feel good about it.
At the time, it was not how I wanted to live my life, but I could no longer ignore the truth. And I wanted, above all else, the TRUTH!
 
including atheism?


Two of the most basic principles in an atheistic philosophy are free thought and individuality. Both are incompatable with the influences of peer pressure. If you're easily led by peer pressure, you are not an open minded free thinking person, likewise, if you are an open minded free thinking person, you're not easily led by peer pressure.
 
Seems you've got a really simplified version of what you believe to be the big bang theory there fish...

Are you willing to admit that you do not know everything?

If you are, why is it hard to then admit that just because we don't know exactly how the universe started right now doesn't mean we won't figure it out in the future?

Does everything you can't explain have supernatural origins?

Is it really necessary to answer that?

It was made all to clear that whatever one choose to call themselves, wheelchair and crutch adjusts to a one size fits all.

Man didn't need religion or science, and somehow they found a way to get by and survive for some umpteen thousands of yrs.

Now the cozy comfort of either has somehow we todd did the evolution of the mind.

From observance, I would have to answer, Yes!!

yep i am wrong alot are you?

use your imagination, give me something to think about, what could possibly of created the universe

i do think if the big bang theory is the best man can come up with we are not even close to figuring it out because for nothing to expand/explode or whatever and create anything is crazy to me
 
Being an atheist or an agnostic is going to bed without the answers. Not knowing is actually the tougher road to go down.

Religion is popular because it is easy. It isn't correct, but it is easy.
