Well, my opinion is that I am Christian and I do believe in God, but if you aren't you don't have to. I find it ridiculous that we, as a community can't accept differences in opinions. There are somethings that each of us holds sacred and maybe we shouldn't meddle with these topics. I mean it's like saying I like Blue and you like Red. Why does anyone have to question these topics? It seems every Discussion section of forums seems to involve religion. Therefore, do not try to convince people to join your beliefs, nor put other religions down as well. There are people that are Buddhist, Hindu, or Mormon. I don't see why Christianity has to be the one stroked. If you are Atheist, I'll respect that, and I won't try to convert you to my beliefs. Why can't people be like that? <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd--> This would be fine if people's religion didn't affect me.

I've lost a lot of my interest in Science vs. Religion threads such as creationism/ID. Always the same ridiculous arguments, always the same rebuttals, never any answers to rebuttals and new even more stupid arguments are presented. Of everything on the internet I debate, these discussions have nearly driven me to atheism more than anything else I can encounter. It's always good to have a discussion that is around a relevant subject area such as the bible thread, but when you start trying to argue science vs. religion it just doesn't work. Sometimes you get somewhere I concede, but it usually just ends up with people getting offended and trying to push beliefs onto people demanding evidence.
Once upon a time, it used to be interesting but now it's just not worth it. There are better things to discuss that don't involve complete conflicts of belief.

So this thread is discussing the discussions you discuss. Perhaps the discussion forum has run out of topics?
The seperation fo church and state should keep religion from effecting those who chose not to follow certian beliefs... but why do i hear about religion alot when I go to see whats going on in that giant entity i pay taxes towards called the United states government? For example... Mr. Bush promoting himself as "god's favorite president".
If anyone is being pursued, its everyone who isn't lovey dovey with jesus.
