jakee 1,489 #28 August 25, 2010 QuoteQuoteQuoteQuote>Sounds like you describe Atheism as a secular religion. Evangelical atheism does indeed share some characteristics of religion (although strictly speaking it is not one.) I guess that depends on your definition of religion. The belief in a non-diety is the same as a belief in a diety. How do you believe in a non-deity? I honestly don't know - I don't. Then why say it? Sounds to me like non-sense.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, yes. We can make it. Not sure what you're getting at though... you realise that anti matter isn't non-matter, right?Do you want to have an ideagasm?

champu 1 #32 August 25, 2010 QuoteQuote Can someone please explain to me why all religions think that theirs is the only right one. Being that I am Agnostic I really don't understand Why would anyone subscribe or adhere to a religion that they thought was one of the wrong ones? Mockery.

CornishChris 5 #33 August 26, 2010 Quote It is really quite simple. One has evidence of being correct and the others think they are correct. To put it another way, the others claim evidence of being correct and only one thinks it is correct. Given your sig line would I be right in assuming that you are a member of the one that has evidence of being correct? Surely this is ultimate irony as if you were to ask a member of another religion there answer would be the same.. CJP Gods don't kill people.

I believe that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Him. My original reply, this thread, was an attempt at humor. This forum is not a good venue for laughs.Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
