i am aware that it has been debated with religious folk. and some decent rebuttals have been given.


I don’t really consider these arguments to be against religion. I just like them for some philosophical fun. Well generally I speak to more fundamentalist believers as their though process’s just bug me, so I usually cant help but question their thoughts.

(and generally on here when you start talking about something more interesting, someone comes along and goes on about something I would consider fundamentalist and we start again)

With religion the scope is so large that if you are asking me for an argument right now against progressive believes, I probably couldn’t think of a particularly good one. But if you pick a topic I’d probably remember one. I generally like to come to the table without arguments and base mine on theirs. As they are the one proposing something (god).

I think using the bible as guidance is very reasonable. I truly believe that was it’s purpose, to guide people. It has lots of good ideas, but also some harmful ones. Using the bible to follow a more fulfilling live is great, I only have a problem with that when people follow it blindly( and don’t critically separate the good ideas from the outdated) and it starts to affect others (issues like gay marriage, evolution)

I also oppose the jump from a book filled with good ideas on how to live life. To “this book was written by god”. I oppose the notion of god in this book, although I do not oppose ideas on spiritual matters in general.
