Lmao what a narrow minded view of how religion and science interact. What's sad is you probably think you're clever for all that nonsense. Good luck convincing people There isn't a god with that "sound" reasoning.

I don't quite see how saying things like [quote]But conditioning from childhood does that to people.[/quote] Serves any purpose. People convert / leave faiths / revert all the time. The religious beliefs (theologically within a religion or to leave altogether) most people have when they're out on their own are most likely not the same as the ones they were taught growing up.

Edited by Britton: 11/23/2015 9:26:27 PMActually they most likely are. About 75% of people in america keep to the faith of their childhood. http://www.pewforum.org/2009/04/27/faith-in-flux/ Also I had a typo in my first post. I don't know if you caught the correct meaning or not. So I'll fix it and bold the typo.

Nice. Let's pull some points from the article If change within religious traditions is included (e.g., from one Protestant denominational family to another), [spoiler]which is what I said[/spoiler] the survey found that roughly 44% of Americans now profess a religious affiliation different from that in which they were raised. Combined with the 44% of the public that currently espouses a religion different than their childhood faith, this means that roughly half of the U.S. adult population has changed religion at some point in their life. I actually find this to agree with what I said. Thanks for the article.
-
44% isn't most. Also take into account the article with my original comment.

Apparently personal beliefs have the power to alter reality. I'm just expressing my opinion.
-
You may want to do a self check, it seems you stand guilty of your own convictions. But in its most dumbed down form all you're saying is personal bias influences world views..... No shit.
-
I think you may be missing the satire here.
-
Edited by BingoBangoBungo: 11/23/2015 4:04:04 PMNo I see the satire, but I also recognize it as a poor attempt at wit and clever retort.
-
I'm not seeing your point.
-
Not surprising.
-
Edited by BenjyX55: 11/23/2015 4:06:41 PMNot surprising because you have no point?
-
No, not surprising as in its over your head. Your satire isn't clever, nor is it thought provoking, and points out a lot of the bias that atheists hold.
-
What biases?

Edited by BingoBangoBungo: 11/23/2015 4:18:59 PM1) that science and religion can't coexist (implied) 2) you're analogy that the sciences atheists use is as transparent as being face to face with a god and denying its existence. If you mentioned creationism / Islam or any branch of religion that did deny modern science then I may be more inclined to accept your post, but you don't. And to even imply that can't coexist is narrow minded and naive at best.
-
1) I never implied this. 2) You can't deny scientific facts.

Edited by OurWildebeest: 11/23/2015 3:12:55 PMHe is a teenager who thinks he is the first in the world, or at least part of the first generation, to question religion. The imaginary conversation probably seemed better in his head before he wrote it out, but after spending that much time on it, he clicked Post anyway. The people I knew as teens who argued the most against religion, in general, are among the most religious adults I know.
-
Edited by BingoBangoBungo: 11/23/2015 3:17:11 PMI would have thought he had something worth saying when I was younger, but definitely not anymore. I don't tend to get in religious arguments unless someone makes a dumb, dumb mistake.... As is the case
-
Eh, doesn't bother me. I went through that phase, too.

I just wish people would actually take the time to empathize with other perspectives instead of half heartedly observing them from their bubble of safe thinking. That kind of application has allowed me to see so much more than before and understand people. It is not leeway to be insulting or attacking, but a way to understand. People who confront others and mock / insult without understanding their perspective just... Irritate me. Speaks more against their side of the argument than for it.
