You have an interesting way of keeping this issue personal.

And, no one has forced those debating the existence of God here at PPOT to do so.

If you or anyone else is offended that some one else doesn't believe in the same religion or the same god or is an atheist, then I truly feel sorry for the frailty and closed mindedness of such folks.

It's a big world out there, and most folks don't believe in your god or your religion. Sorry if this is news to you.

Best,

Kurt

P.S.: We already have a "God" thread, so maybe we can take this there?

I'm going to stir the pot and say that I am Wiccan.

But, I don't feel the Christ-believers should be offended. I do believe that Christ existed. I believe he was a great teacher of man. He did great things, sure. Son of God? Who knows...

If I'm not offended by you, you shoulnd't be offended by me. :)

Pretty much. I do believe there are things out there greater than ourselves and that there is a side of all living things that is "spiritual", but I don't believe in a "god" per se - certainly not in the sense that conventional religions try to portray or claim to have a monopoly on the understanding of.

Well, I'm certainly not a racknostic...:cool:

I'm more of a buttist than racknostic, but that's just me...

Well, science has not ruled out god yet...so i'm agnostic in the meantime.

Nor has science ruled out the existence of the fabled FSM! . . . which is why I am FSM agnostic in the meantime.

You just didn't compare Christianity to Islam.... You dont want to go there.

I am a confirmed Buttist as well...I own darts. But my aim, unlike Elvis, is not true.



Tony,

I admire your faith. Hang in there.

nope...just comparing what some of their *believers* say.

Because your religion is the correct one?

Exactly the problem with organized religion.

Religion is fine. The people are the problem :p

Best,

Add some meatballs and ketchup to the spaghetti and i will go fundamental FSM agnostic believer as well ;)
....well perhaps i need to add a couple of lager as well.

There are no atheists in a foxhole....

Todd :D

Why?

Boeing 757 + World Trade Center - 3000 lives. Last words of hijackers being "Ala is great" . You sicken me.

I wonder how many people died in the 200 yrs of Crusades?

I'm not defending either, I'm condemning both.

Why dont you save yourself some time instead of wasting it on the BB. Just fore go this online B.S. fly over to Afghanistan and join a terrorist camp. You can follow in the foot steps of John Walker. You seem to share most of his beliefs.

Wow. And therein is the problem.


Intolerance for any philosophy that differs from our own.

Why is Terry wrong to post his thoughts and Tony right? That in itself would make a great debate.

And honestly..Why not compare world religions? They have all had their share of "misadventures".
