[QUOTE=cdh473;25967603]That's the basic logic around my belief, but I accept that others have theirs..[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=cdh473;25966519]I want to hear why you are a Christian. If you're not, then don't post in this thread until I'm done.
Things that are unacceptable answers:
-I was raised a Christian. You were most likely also raised to believe in Santa and the tooth fairy and many other things.
-I saw god. This is utter bullshit. This is as retarded as an atheist saying there is no god. He/she doesn't know. If I must, I will elaborate on why this is bullshit later on.
-Because the bible says so. Oh shit. If you were going to use this, I'm sorry, but you're a fucking idiot. Look up the napkin religion if you were going to pull this shit out.
-because the bible is infallible. [url]http://www.evilbible.com/Biblical%20Contradictions.htm[/url] Nuff' said.
-because christianity is so popular, it must be true. Sorry to burst your bubble, but the majority of christians don't realize that they've just succumbed to peer pressure. Also, weed isn't unhealthy.
-Because god is loving, caring and the almighty powerful being who knows all. Whoa back up there cowboy, but if he was perfectly loving and shit then why did he make us suffer this universe? He couldve just purified us immediately and thrown us in heaven.
-why did I feel relieved to get saved by his awesome salvation? Well, you feel that way with any religion, look up enlightenment
If I missed any irrelevent counter-questions or statements then I will add them later. Now, if someone can honestly come up with a good counterargument for christianity saying why you believe in it, then I'll accept that and put it in my book of plausible religions. Christianity is lower than pastafarianism right now.
Now post why you're a Christian.[/QUOTE]

that's beautiful.
I looked at the title and thought it was a legitimate discussion, then the OP screamed at me. I guess it's a troll thread.
Anyway, I believe in God, but I do a lot of shitty things and probably don't deserved to be called a Christian.
To stir up an argument in this thread, I shall mention Shrodinger's cat. What do you think about this statement: until we witness him, God exists and doesn't exist.
I'm an atheist. As long as you're not pushing your religion onto me I don't give a shit what you believe in. My opinion is that everyone should have this belief. Fellow atheists, stop telling people how to run their lives and spit on something that gives billions of people hope. And religious people don't try and convert me or sway my opinions on our existence on life. There we go, thats a world problem just solved.

Please read that over again and understand that I'm trying to say that I accept that you have your beliefs, but it is absolute foolishness to not have a reason to believe in your religion.

You're an athiest. Stop being an idiot and explaining why you're not by saying you're not. You aren't a wizard, you can't bend terms to your will.
"I respect your belief but you are retarded because of your said belief"

You're even worse than him. Go back to hot topic.
I'm not a christian because I don't understand how a jewish guy recieves a slab of rock written in hebrew by a flaming bush or whatever the fuck you people believe in, and just suddenly tells everyone 'hey, you believe this shit or else god will fuck you up'
yeah okay makes alot of sense
because some random hippie was deemed to be the son of the almighty creating entity

hey do you know ANYTHING about what you are criticizing
Because I've been brainwashed since birth to believe in a fake idol, not really I'm an atheist

You're a real trooper to argue with every single person on this whole thread who disagrees with you.
the concept of god and christianity are seperate in my opinion
just because i believe in a higher power i cannot explain doesnt mean im going to believe that a few thousand years ago it chose a bearded dude as it's son that later got owned by a bunch romans

I'm actually arguing with all the angsty hipster teens in the thread who have dumb justifications for their opinions, but thanks for trying.

I think what you're talking about is Catholicism and Christianity. Catholics believe in god only.
nah, he's just arguing with people that are too ignorant to acknowledge the fact that different people believe different things
OP, you are in the wrong place for this.
A few things.
-That sort of offensive tone is likely to turn most honest answers away. Next time be more polite in your questioning.
-You make the mistake of identifying Christianity as one entity. Nobody, no matter how ingrained holds EXACTLY the same views. And what about Muslims? Jews? They believe in an Abrahamic God too, and you left them out of this? Ask not why they are Christian, ask why they believe in God.
-Facepunch is largely Agnostic/Atheist, go to a Christian forum for answers.
-People frown on openly aggressive Atheists. We're perceived to be aggressively outraged at the religious community and things like this only feed that perception. Be polite when probing questions; Religious people aren't the enemy, Religion is.
-Use more punctual wording. Long-winded statements create an air of hostility, as if pressing for an answer. Be calm, punctual, and concise.
I hope this post proves helpful OP.

Or maybe they have an opinion about a foolish pixie god. How dare they an opinion that is slightly differed to yours!

Holy shit, you actually owned yourself without me trying. I'm fine with not believing in god, I don't believe in god, but when you start spewing shit you probably heard on some emo kid's blog about why theism is evil and the bane of the universe, that crosses the line. Militant athiests are for the most part bored, stupid teens who want to piss over other people because they believe they're correct without fault. Most of them grow up.
I mean really, "Foolish pixie god". People like you jerk other athiests off at how stupid god is, I bet your social contact consists of
"Oh my GOD I was so reading the bible before"
"Man, the bible is SO fucking stupid"
"I know, dumb christian idiots actually read this shit?"
"I so KNOW man, it's like, wow, dude, like, so fucking gay"
"I mean, who even believes in a foolish pixie god?"
"Not me, man. I'm individual, not like those christian sheeple"
i detest religion entirely, as it only serves as a tool for world leaders
do you agree kim jong il?
