the hells with these religion wars?!

Well, MTBN, i seen that this discussion isnt going anywhere. My point is that religion of any kind is fine. Its the humans who fuck it up. The idea of religion is a sort of perfection on Earth, obviously impossible.

The Bible is supposed to be inspired by God, not just written by some dude. Yes i know that some parts of it are contradictory, but so is some science. And about the Earth being flat. Whens the last time you walked on foot around the Earth? Back then, people didnt get around so much. Its hard to see the big picture when you are part of it and cant get outside to see it.

I have done this many times in the past and it just happened again. I sat here and seriously took a few minutes to think about our existance, and tried to make sense of it all. Space...time...how it got there...how something has to start( in time) somewhere, so if the big bang happened where did it come from and what was there before it...also along that same line when did God just 'Magically' appear.

After about five minutes I woke up from a haze and I realized that I was lost. I think that is how religion came to be. A preacher takes people into this deep philosophical discussion, they come out lost and confused, and then he comes out with God, blah blah blah, it explains it all so that everybody can understand, and as we all know people love to believe what they can understand, and that is why religion is so popular, especially in countries or areas where the education level is low.

Good ideas Pika. Pika Pika!

"And about the Earth being flat. Whens the last time you walked on foot around the Earth? Back then, people didnt get around so much. Its hard to see the big picture when you are part of it and cant get outside to see it."

Exactly, the people back then didn't know much. They needed a way of explaining all that they did not know. Hence, that's where "God" came in.

But I dont think the Bible or any religion claims that the Earth is flat.

Like I wrote before, I never said it was in the bible or religion. Just that the people who wrote those books and practiced those religions thought it was. Those who proved them wrong were seen as devil worshipers and such. But of course they turned out to be right all along. Funny.

Ah, now i see what you mean. Yeah, pretty stupid. Of course, that was the way things were.

[NismoDrifts]

Mmmhhhmm...just think Copernicus......

Copernicus: "the sun is the center of the stars!" *scientifically proves it beyond a doubt correct*

church: "DIE!!!!!"

[1989 DX R]

Lol yeah. Well, in those days the church was ALWAYS right, and if there were any ideas opposite what the church thought, bad for you. Now its different for the most part.

Like i said in another thread, everyone has fucked up something, get over it. You cant change the past.

[NismoDrifts]

crap, i put "center of the stars" not "center of the solar system" oh well, nother post for me!

[MBTN]

See, that's what I've been trying to tell you. I just don't beleive in religion or a Higher Being for that matter. But that's just me.

This whole thread is hilarious!
