- The bottom line is that all religion ---- ALL, not one or two, not some, not half, not most but EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM is based upon faith and belief. No one, not a single person, NO ONE knows for sure and so they believe but there is absolutely no foundation of fact in any religion or non-religion. Consequently, none of them are wrong, none of them are flawed, none of them are silly or stupid, they are all faith based.
But added to that is the fact religion stems from a mean to control people. Read up on your history - all religions, everyone of them attempts to control people. - Reply to this comment
- WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT? BILLIONS OF MUSLIMS CANT BE WRONG IN KILLING IN THE NAME OF GOD!!
Posted by signtwo
First of all, billions of muslims aren''t killing in the name of god. Second, your religion, unless you''re an atheist type, is as mythological as theirs. - Reply to this comment

eryone is entitled to their opinion. However, this is the first mention I''''ve seen you make regarding religion. Prior, I was responding to your emphatic statement that there is no afterlife, so now you seem to be changing topics on us. You don''''t have to believe in religion, per se, to believe that a human''''s life-energy is not necessarily destroyed after death. Just sayin.

I understand, it''s fine. If belonging to a religion makes you feel good about yourself and others, that is wonderful. But like anything else, I won''t force my beliefs on anyone as I don''t expect anyone to force theirs on me. - Reply to this comment

CMON ppl I write science fiction this is science fiction.

- I would never expect to change one''''s point of view, nor do I want to. Understanding is the road to knowledge. I understand why people beleive in religion, maybe they can understand why I do not.

- Religion is for people who doubt or do not believe in God.

- You must be an evangelical or evilangelical. Because my God shows me proof and is real. But I guess if you are happy then go for it but me I need proof and I have it. Just look up at the sky in the night or see the sun shinning or perhaps the moon going in perfect orbit around the earth and then the earth and other planets around the sun. But hey if listening to some guy who talks to a 900 foot Jesus is your thing go for but count me out.

And if humans came from Mars, they would look up at the sky and think the same thing. What a beautiful orange sky. It''s perfect because you are so used to it and that''s the way it has always been. - Reply to this comment

- Well, I don`t know who Robert Oven is, but I do know he`s a weetar!
Imagine...just because something isn`t based in fact it cannot be true? What a maroon!

I have respect for all religions but please......Scientology sounds like something from an early episode of Star Trek or The Twilight Zone!

- Well, when you die, you are gone. You no longer exist, and you don''''''''t care, because you''''''''re gone. When you truly beleive this, you feel much more comfortable and happier than you will ever feel in your life, you are not afraid to die.

You sound very sure of yourself. How did you come into such knowledge? Do you speak from first-hand experience? Oh, wait, if you had already been through the death experience you would have disappeared forever, according to you.

My true point, is that I am more comfortable without religion than I was with religion. Born and rasied catholic. Then I got smarter. - Reply to this comment
- 5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.
4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."
3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.
2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.
1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian. - Reply to this comment
- Top Ten Signs You''''re a Fundamentalist Christian
10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.
7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don''''t even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!
6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky. - Reply to this comment
- Religions for scared people who can''t take the fact that when ur dead ur just dead like any other animal. People go around everyday like they''re some special being that has the right to a special place while killing other animals and condeming those who don''t believe as they do.

- Well, I''m glad to see that the 16% of America that doesn''t believe in God is in force today. I agree with cbscrash072. 97% of the world is delusional. Just listen to John Lennon and Imagine a world without a God. It makes it much easier to believe in yourself. You don''t have to turn your life over to an imaginary being that gives you a 50/50 chance at everything. You can do that without religion and it doesn''t cost anything. My condolences to the Travoltas.
