Arguments about God, including the ignostic-Ockham

[Grahame]

You mean you are wrong and I challenged you. It's good that you finally acknowledge it.

 

I said THEY are wrong. Stop lying.

 

They are wrong. You have challenged them.

[carosio]

Perhaps not.

 

I was wondering if that is the case with some of the posters on here who spend their time on the religious threads but are really covering up their true feelings when what they want to do more than anything is to come out and admit that in actual fact they are very interested in religion and would like to have a faith similar to others?

 

I wouldn't attempt to psycho-analyse them, but people can hold an interest or fascination in a subject without actually believing what it professes. Anyone's capable of changing their views one way or the other, provided that the information they've received is sufficiently convincing to that person.

Some people follow Buddha, you might do yourself. You don't need science to do that.

 

If someone points to the moon you look at the moon, not the finger that's doing the pointing.

 

And to show just how ignorant your statement is:

 

If science proves some belief of Buddhism wrong, then Buddhism will have to change. In my view, science and Buddhism share a search for the truth and for understanding reality. By learning from science about aspects of reality where its understanding may be more advanced, I believe that Buddhism enriches its own worldview.

 

Buddhism is based on reason and discovering things via testing and experience. It does not require blind faith, superstition or rigid dogma.

He is another one who is obsessed but for me he might as well talk about stamp collecting for all the relevance it has.

So what have you got against stamp collecting.

I said THEY are wrong. Stop lying.

 

I've challenged you and no one else on your vile views about rape and child murder.

Ditto for Christianity.

[redwhine]

Ditto for Christianity.

Oh, Grahame! You are a card. You should be doing stand up. You'd clean up.

 

:hihi::hihi:

[purdyamos]

Ditto for Christianity.

 

Christianity doesn't require belief in God? Or belief in a man coming back from the dead? Or the Virgin birth? Really?

 

Many Buddhists are atheists, and it doesn't matter one bit because it's not about that. So don't try to do the 'it's the same thing' nonsense because it isn't.

Science is confirming the Bible regarding the creation account, with each day being a geological era. I am making new discoveries about the Bible which have strengthened my faith and I believe God revealed himself to us through Jesus Christ.
