Athiests could be said to be just as evil at violently enforcing their own beliefs upon others. Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot and Mao, just to name a few. Saddam may have hid beheind his religion, but the fabuolous four I just mentioned were just as guilty of hiding, not behiend God, but behiend...

Who is to say what is wrong? Lol, you? Common sense is subjective. Who are you to say that I am in the wrong, if I see rape as totally morally justifiable? (which I don't BTW). Why is rape and murder and just being a general dickhead wrong?

Lol, yea I sorta did hear about it, being Catholic and all... :rolleyes: You have failed to even raise an arguement to support your stance of the Church's position being "fail".

Lol... I'm only going to deal with one, the easist one (out of laziness on my part), and the one in which you have made the most sweeping generalisation immaginable. Terrorism is not caused by the basis of religion. Terrorism is the systematic use of terror (violence, or threats of...

Your blatant ignroance offends me, and inadvertently acts to reudce what little legitimacy the athiest cause has to begin with.

There is none that would disprove the notion of God, despite what the Church of Richard Dawkins would like you to believe. In fact there is not even any evidence that would even raise doubt at the validity of the existence of a God.

Nah I'm not trying to play God of the gaps. It just is an undeniable fact that humans, by the existence of their consciousness are distanced from other forms of life, and that the religion of rational scientific invesitigation has yet to explain the reason/s for this, despite asserting that...

But the fact that we have a consciousness, and no other animal does, is indicative of the innate difference between humans and other life.

Rofl. Your purpose I guess doesn't have to be entirely religious, but it would be difficult to justify one non-religiously. If you reject the notion that God exists, and accept that humans are no different from every other animal and don't have a soul, you abandon the notion of morality...

I am not a nihilist.

Ah k now makes sense.

Which is more important, the buisnessman and scientist, or the author or artist? It is all well and great having a nice life, but without having something to live for, that life (be it comfortable or not) becomes somewhat meaningless. For all it's great achievements, science has been...

Buddy, most athiests I know would be more passionate at preeching their "faith" to others if prompted than most Christians. Other than that, you are more or less correct. We both are bias. Aruging is not entirely pointless. It allows us to understand and gain exposure to other view points...

Fair point I guess, but the distribution (to borrow a term from my biology textbook) of a population is varied in different locations. In other words, while 50% of the world is Asian, not necessarily 50% of people in Australia are Asian. It would be hard to summise a purpose in like a single...

Dude congrats thats fantastic! IDK its your choice I suppose but opportunities like this don't come around twice. Best of luck mate.

Self control, personal responsbility and a purpose in life; get some. Because of Yin-Yang and a bunch of cartoons, homosexuality is totally accepted in Asian countries? Lol... ok. Like half of the Christians I know happen to be Asian, just so you know. And I actually don't know what your...

Lol I just decide on the spot if I want 1, 2 or none. I don't have a set routine, w/e I feel like at the time really :)

ShuttleBus ty for the link, was a good debate I found it quite entertaining, though in all honesty I can't see how anyone could possibly come to the conclusion that Dawkins emerged as the victor, Lennox walked all over him.

Rofl, you could just admit you're wrong and that there is a God :cool: Anyway, if you start a thread entitled "Atheism - Discussion Thread" you can't not expect a theological attack, its inevitable. If I made a thread "All About God" or w/e I would expect you guys to come and play.

No you have faith in the fact that it happened "your" way, despite the fact that you admit the chances of your explanation for everything having occured are so minute. Dawkins attacked faith, because it requires that you take things for granted and don't excercise skepticism, or require...
