The idea of a God or gods (i.e. supernatural beings transcendent of the natural universe, or even supernatural things such as 'spells') has be reason with modern Philosphoical priciples as incoherent and reasonably impossible. Religions not based on a belief in a God have no standings either as they are just a set of man made morals which have no bussiness as being absolute correct as morality is an indivdual thing and outside of Religion there is no abolute right or wrong.

I didn't read the thread as I have argued various Religion teachers and priests and aswell as the common layman and I don't think this board can really offer and ground breaking statements. I could go in depth about my first paragraph but it would quite long and pointless and I don't it would be read. For thoes interested, pick up "Athiesm: The Case Against God" by George H. Smith.

I didn't claim to. I just said don't bash a religion you know nothing about, and don't accuse someone of being a poser.

If I know nothing about the religion, then I can't really say if its wrong or not, now can I? And I didn't. But YOU did.

Not to sound like an ass, but that's a fairly inaccurate generalization.
Due to some people preaching, you've formed an opinion about all christians.
I know many christians, who choose not to preach their beliefs to others. And many christian religions promote the idea "judge not, lest ye be judged". Sure you'll find your fanatics, but i don't agree with your belief that "most christians preach"

Lets see. Thats example 1, so:

2.) The people who go door to door
3.) the many christians who have told me that I need to be "saved."
4.) televangelists
5.) read number 2 again.

I am not saying you are wrong, and I am right, but there is some truth to both of our statements. And to be fair, i said most. Although I should have said majority, or some.

Exactly. Not everyone is like that, but they'll sure as hell tell you that you are wrong.

I don't think you're wrong, because I don't even know if my beliefs are right. I guess I'll find out when I die.

Morbid Angel fucking knows whats right Christianity is nothing but lies, just a fucking tangled web of hypocricsy. Krisiun, is fucking right about it too. Fuck Jesus look at what has happened in the name of God, all throughout history people have always killed in mass ammounts in the name of God, you rarely hear of people doing that shit in the name of Satan. It's just a way of scaring people to act a certain way. Hail Satan

Fuck -ism's and -anity's, hail self awareness!

You can't expect to have a thread on opinion and not expect some people to get out of control. Look at the middle east.

No but really, we need to have a more organized discussion, and close this thread, or move it to the Chit Chat board.

It's entertaining to listen to. What else would they sing about?
