Man, fuck China.

Of course I read what you said. But why are you annoyed at some people who had nothing to do with what happened to you?[/QUOTE]
This is sort of disturbing, but it seems like its part of their laws.
"They say you can believe, but you can't evangelise," Mr Xu said. "But that is a natural act for Christians. The bible commands us to preach the gospel."
While China is being unfair and harsh, it IS against their laws to preach about Christianity, and it seems you have to ?register? your religion or something, because in the article it said that unregistered catholics or christians were the ones being detained. It says there are state approved churches, it seems like its the worshipers fault they are breaking the law, but the punishment for that is unjust.
Also, why the hell are you trying to make a big deal about what I said? Because 300 christians in China are being treated unfairly so that means I cant complain?
"'Despite all the persecution and suffering, God is calling more and more people in China,' he said"
Well god is an idiot.

Stop bashing Christianity and learn to respect my beliefs! What have we ever done to you but support peace and understanding just like Jesus preached?
Oh by the way you're going to burn in hell for an eternity because you aren't like me.
This is why i'm [B]Agnostic [/B]:dance:
Ummm I hate the labeling on both sides of the spectrum, personally I don't like Christianity itself but a christian is one who believes in Christ, an atheist who is one who does not believe in the existence of a holy deity. That is different from say.... A Catholic or a Mormon who belong to a certain religious organization. Stop labeling atheists and christians as people who "belong" to something.
I believe in God & Jesus. But if anybody else doesn't, that's cool with me. As long as you're a good person at heart I'll think you're a pretty cool person.
[QUOTE=TheHydra;23000460]why the fuck are there atheist signs and symbols anyway, we're not a religion, we're literally the antithesis of religion
[/QUOTE]
There are atheistic religions.
[QUOTE=dookster;23002205]This is why i'm [B]Agnostic [/B]:dance:[/QUOTE]
Everybody is agnostic. Agnostic is not a belief system. If you call yourself agnostic in relation to theism, you're literally saying that you don't know there's a God.

Nobody knows there's a God, therefore everybody is agnostic.
Like I said in a previous thread, agnostic is a prefix to other beliefs. I will not repeat myself though.
[QUOTE=Goberfish;23000547]And a lot of Christians in China have something to be annoyed about as well when they're being imprisoned, never to be heard of again. Go ahead and be annoyed at the people who have unjustly treated you, not at the people who are affiliated by the term Christian.[/QUOTE]
Everyone is discriminated against boo mother fucking cum slurping hoo.
This isn't about that, this is about america favouring a single solitary religion over all others, as well as personal lack of religions, all despite the fact it was founded as a secular nation.

I remember reading about Christian Atheists, makes more sense once you realize that they follow the teachings of Christ and don't believe in god.

What.
That makes no sense, that just sounds like atheists who have decent morals, not christian atheists.
Or like a fair few people partaking in pascals wagers.
My only problem with Christians is that they try and force their religion on other people. If you want to believe is giant sky god who's his own son, then fine. Just don't try and convert me.
[QUOTE=Dole;23000859]Are you fucking retarded? Its definitely NOT a SPECK of dirt. I hear the UK is not mostly religious, and that Iceland is very atheist/theist.
And guess what god isn't anything either. Stop treating it like its something important. Hes nothing. Prove me wrong.[/QUOTE]
What? There's churches chapels everywhere in Britain you idiot, but people are turning evangelical, How about you prove god doesn't exist? Just because we don't see air doesn't mean that doesn't exist.

Except you [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_air"]can change its temperature[/URL] to show that it exists. I'm pretty sure you can't stick God in a fridge until he's visible.

You also can't explain life and the creation of it.

No but the fact that we have a lot of evidence for air means it does.
You know like weather, air pressure, Brownian motion, the fact that if we create a vacuum, it's rare for life to be able to survive in it.
You know, scientific evidence.
Either way you can't beat christians cause over thousands of years they have the perfect defence against it.
"There will never be evidence for god, because he wants us to have faith in him"

[QUOTE=Canary;23003593]You also can't explain life and the creation of it.[/QUOTE]
Actually we're getting close and have experiments which have indicated that life came about on earth by chance.
[QUOTE=Canary;23003593]You also can't explain life and the creation of it.[/QUOTE]
We can't explain it yet, but we're getting there, religion doesn't exactly give you much to work with. I don't see the point you're trying to make here, I thought god was more about faith than proof.
someone should go cross out the under and put over, I'm sure the results would be hilarious.

Damn are we uncreative.[/QUOTE]
Churches contract architects, none of them do the work themselves, so no they aren't creative. That is like saying I'm an excellent mechanic because I bought a car BUILT by an excellent mechanic.
look i don't give a shit if you're atheist or not just don't talk about religion being stupid
actually i hate atheists because of how they always talk about how religious people have mental problems
[QUOTE=Funky Pickle;22994563]OK, I happen to be a Christian myself, but even I and many other people in the world hate when people shove their beliefs down people's throats, regardless of the belief. Let people believe what they want. I know that we learned that God will send people who don't believe in him to Hell, but I don't believe in that part. God is supposed to be a loving person, so why would he do that? It is said that he loves EVERYONE. If he doesn't, and my teacher's lied to me, than I don't think he is a real "loving god", and I don't want to be a part of a religion that belives in an evil entity like that. :colbert:[/QUOTE]
I really respect you. You didn't believe the first thing that you were told like oh-so-many Americans do and instead, questioned it and came up with your own belief. For that, I tip my hat to you, Sir.
[QUOTE=Canary;23000801]What? The amount of anti religious people is tiny, It's like a spec of dirt compared to religious.
[editline]09:27AM[/editline]
Maybe it has something to due with the fact atheism isn't anything, stop treating it as another religion, you guys just contradict yourselves constantly.[/QUOTE]
How do we contradict ourselves?
A Christian talking about contradiction is actually pretty funny.

Something that's impossible to prove or disprove the existence of is anathema in science. God is one of those things.

You're fucking dumb.
I used to get entertainment from these threads but after X amount of them, its getting really boring.
My question is, if this is even news worthy. Looks like it would make more sense in the Photoshop Contests section.
I'm sorry to say, but it is strange if you believe all of the words in the Holy Bible are facts. I mean, come on. Guy gets eaten by giant fish, Ezekiel sees aliens, Woman gets impregnated by the Holy Spirit, who is god, and gives birth to Jesus, who is god. Adam and Eve supposedly found the entire human race, through hundreds of years of straight up, brother sister incest.
No trolling, I'm serious. I mean, it's perfectly fine if you want to, but...it's just a bit off.
[I]Pretty much America was based of FREEDOM OF RELIGION meaning believing in what RELIGION you would like. Basically America started based around God. There for if you don't believe in the father..Someday you will but until then.. NO ONE IS MAKING YOU LIVE HERE... You DO have the RIGHT to LEAVE! UNder God WILL be here I'm sorry to hurt your feelings! And may God Bless You where ever you choose to be.....Your welcome![/I]
America was based around god? The people who wrote the constitution and all were barely religious.
[editline]09:34AM[/editline]
[i]Any person with half a brain can understand there is a God. Look around people. Does this look like the moon? Oh right! The big bang and miraculously all forms of life. Only here on earth. Wait! Evolution. Everything came from one living organism? Wow! You have more faith than us! God is real and He loves us all. That is why He gave us Jesus Christ. In order that he may be a sacrifice for all of us imperfect humans. Why did God create us this way? Maybe you'll find out when you journey over to the other side or maybe you wont. GOD IS REAL! Einstein even tried to prove otherwise and came to the conclusion that there is a Creator. That the universe had a beginning.[/i]
They always have a habit of using "The world had to come from somewhere! It was God!" Have they ever thought the extremely simple question to themselves, then, "Where did our God come from?"

Except things we don't see like air and gravity can be tested.
Why is the burden of proof on atheists? Religious are the ones trying to bring him forth, if I came up to you and said I had superpowers and to prove I can't fly, you would say "Prove you can't fly? Prove you can!"
God is so full of horseshit.
Seriously, killed the entire human race except for one family, the devil killed a handful in the whole bible.
And if god is all powerful and can do anything, then why did he fail to destroy evil twice?
If he can still do anything then he allowed evil to survive to torment mankind, so why should we adore him?
Food for thought :v:
God is master of life, the universe, and everything(get it, sci-fi fans?), then why can't he just poof away Satan in the blink of an eye?

I read this and was strangly reminded of episode 52 from Futurama.
Plus having God fix everything for us would be boring wouldn't it? It would be like those movies where like those movies where some being, tries to irradicate the human race because they were deemed "doomed" only to have a change of thought when the occurence of "hope" that humans can fix things on their own, crosses their mind near the end of the movie.
