And it also creates segregation, is telling people that AIDS is caused by condoms, and has let a lot of children get raped by those to whom their care was entrusted.
But hey, at least it comforts some people right?

Jesus could very well have existed, but I think he was an ordinary man whose followers made him out to be the Messias and shit.
People don't operate on logic though so how can you prove logic is that important?
We have the skills to do so but every decision we make is not thought out logically.
I can write a book about anything that defies logic. Are you going to believe in it despite its illogical nature because society tells you to?
With science? I don't understand the question, but I'm positive that "God made it" isn't the right answer.
In general religions consider questions more important than answers, from what I've seen. At least that's true about the more "enlightened" religions.
Jesus is in history books. His claims are what make his religion.
No, that's science.
How do you explain his miracles then?
How do you explain his followers seeing him after his death on the cross?
Gods are a concept in the human mind that was designed so it cannot be argued with logic and reason, thus you can't prove or disprove the existance of gods.
That's mainly the reason religion requires such heavy amounts of faith, you need to shut down logic to be able to believe in a god/gods.
Personally I don't like the concept of a god, it just creates more questions that need to be answered.
My point is without a real indisputable answer, people will make up another answer.
That's wrong. You can't prove god exists, and you can't prove he doesn't. The whole point is having faith that an "unexplained" act is the result of god's will, the mere fact that the only thing telling you God did it is your faith makes it impossible to rightfully push other people to believe the same thing if they don't share the same faith as you in the first place.
Also about that " Religion is a way to move a mass of people", that doesn't goes in Muslims. Fuck those arab assholes, poluting this beautiful religion.

Prove that there isn't an invisible Penis in front of you.
You also can't really sense it in any way, but it's there! I mean, this post claims so!
Does this mean you have to accept this claim because you can't find evidence against it?
Of course you do.
Garry,i completely agree with you this time.
Also,science already answered that it was from big bang
What movements and what activities? Please show me scientifically proven evidence of this.
And yes, you do need evidence to prove something.
Claims are not right until proven wrong with evidence..they are wrong until proven right with evidence.
Yeah but if you're religious and really believe in god, you would take "God's word" over human evidence. That's how religion works.
Stories that were made up to make more people convert?
On an unrelated note, this subforum was a brilliant idea Garry
Remember when I told you to stop lumping all Christians in with fundamentalists? Because you obviously weren't listening.
Psychology never provides sufficient evidence, so you can't prove a certain variable made someone behave the way they are and we know psychology exists.
I saw David Blane hover 2 feet off the ground, it doesn't mean that he's the son of god. Or that he really did it.
Where did the elements of the big bang come from?
I'd say they're neither right nor wrong until proven right or wrong.
Religion is something to cover up the unknown. The questions people always asked, like 'what happens after you die'
Back in those times, people were afraid of the unknown. And now because of our achievments nowadays, the unknown isn't so frightening. So religion is becoming obsolete, it's had its time.
All the gospels describe these miracles from different people's account who actually saw these take place. And the fact that they're from different viewpoints with slight contradictions mean that there was no corroboration involved either.
We still don't know what happens after you die, so it's not quite obsolete yet.
>Implying the Bible wasn't altered later
Ok and if I wrote a book claiming that I am the mouth of god, my book has now taken priority over scientific evidence. With this im free to tell society what to do and I can say anyone who questions me is going to burn for eternity. My book is now more valid than scientific evidence right?
Religion is for fucking idiots
Sorry, i had to say it.
Curing the blind and resurrecting the dead I think would be a bit harder to pull off.
It also teaches moral, and by teaching moral I mean discriminating against homosexuals etc.
The logic is basically "If you don't believe in what this book says, you will suffer eternal torture in Hell. You don't want to go to hell, do you? Proof? Yeahh... Oh look, this candle just lit up by itself."
Sorry to say non of that was proven though.
Do you have any evidence for that?
And don't say the Bible
The problem I have with this was that these stories were written down after being told by mouth for 600 years. Even while writing everything down and with all our technology we still have a hard time being accurate about what happened 600 years ago.
I wouldn't call all of the narrow-minded idiots.
We still have original versions of the gospels and other historical documents that say the same thing and were used to translate from
People who believe in religion are near sighted twats that think everything else that isn't written in their magic book will send you to hell.
Is all your evidence for religion 2000 years old?
