Yes, we should. Shame that none of them will actually answer my points well enough for this to be any more challenging than debating 6 year olds.

Well you don't do the best job of impersonating him, but it's a fair reference and slightly learned so I'll grant you it. :P

Except there is nothing to suggest that any of them had any strong religious belief and rather a bit to suggest they didn't. Even this weren't the case, allow me to be blunt and ask: what the hell is your point?

Religious suffering is, at one and the same time, the expression of real suffering and a protest against real suffering. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of...

Religious people are largely either stupid or ignorant. One cannot fully understand the facts and believe in any kind of religion. That summary goes a lot further back than 6 pages, however.

Wow. I'm some kind of God around here ... Honestly they're really totally the same thing.

I get that reaction more than you'd think on here ...

As I said literally the post after: I established that a long time ago. They're not necessarily that backwards, but they still believe in an invisible sky man who can sentence you to hell for thought crime and the 'sins' of imaginary people thousands of years ago that never existed and spend...

Wow. A lot of absolute shit to deal with here. As I pointed out to you, religion does not predate culture. Culture predates organised religion by some 25,000 years. What about the thousands of acts of cruelty? What about those that suffer excruciatingly at the hands of the religious? What...

Well, no. Their 'anti-anarchical ethics' are merely reflections. Religion is in no way the source of such ideas. Wow. Eloquently done, dude. Humanity as a species can be traced back 200,000 years. Complex human society goes back possibly 15,000-25,000 years but recent discoveries in...

To a point, this is absolutely fucking absurd. If this is the case then the burden of proof is on you to prove why Zeus, Apollo, Poseidon, Dionysus, Baal, Ra, Osiris, etc. etc. do not exist. To say that something doesn't exist when there is a literal and absolute non-existence of evidence to...

No. No. No. No. No. The 10 commandments partially reflect an ideology of morality that was developed thousands of years before religion came about and reflect scientific and biological realities about humanity and its sociological nature. Religion reflects these concepts sometimes, other...

Depends. We can say with scientific certainty that the Bible is wrong on countless fronts. This goes a long way to showing logically that their God doesn't exist. "God" as a subject is touchy. However it is absolutely no coincidence that the less ridiculous notions and ideas of God (more...

Yes, and I agree with you; yet what exactly are you trying to say? I agree if you're trying to make the point that a more vague, deist God is a less intellectual repulsive concept. The fact is that while science and human observation has not yet moved into an era where we can tackle the...

But Immanuel Kant also wrote in a time where science had not yet begun to understand the way that such moral statements we consider objective and that are more universal through societies all over the world are simply statements mirroring the biological and sociological realities of our species...

I'm not necessarily opposed to the idea of religious schools, as long as standards on education are met and enforced in terms of curriculum. However the idea that the state's health or education system would fall apart without the Church is laughable.

Let me direct you once again to what I am associating the Catholic Church with: the spirit of anti-semitism that was present entirely throughout Europe for the better part of the one thousand years prior to WW2 | Check, this one is self-evident and we both agree. Robert Runcie, former...

Oh. My. God.

Corrected.

No, I don't accept wrong definitions.
