    The bible says your response is bullshit. Of course im going to quote from the bible(its the word of God) ??? So where do you think your going when you die tauntshaman??? The bible says as it is written there is none righteous no not one.

    Re: The Different Religions Of Mafia Players From Around The World

    For what it's worth. It is said that, on average, religious people are happier than none religious ones. And some of the nicest people I have ever met are religious. Nobody can deny the benefits of those 2 things.

    But preachers, like this guy, who says I will burn in hell if I I'm no believer, can go fuck themselves.

    Why even go for that "you will burn in hell!" crap? Is it because spreading religion through violance was such a massive success for Islam?
    First 13 years Muhammad preached peace and love, and he gained only 150 followers. But once he turned full warlord and dictator mode - everything Arab turned Islamic. Europe almost too. Still hard to believe how lucky we got. That war lasted hundreds of years and we just barely "survived", right?
    Is that why you go for that burn in hell bullshit? To desperately try to get more followers?

    I don't. But it's the notion that they or their religion wishes evil upon us if we don't convert - that I do mind.

    This accurately reflects me. It's not that I have a strong belief in any opinion, it's that I really don't care enough to put thought into it.

    I can't imagine devoting a significant portion of your life to worshipping something that doesn't give you any proof of reasonable return, so I guess I'm leaning toward atheism? I'm lucky enough to live in a very understanding community where nobody else really actively cares what other people think about religion and the few who do are widely shunned and unpopular. For all I care you could be a radical islam but as long as you don't tell me I won't care.

    The thing that really grinds my gears is when people try to use their religion to try to justify their behaviors or change peoples opinions. No, Isha, I don't hate you because you're muslim. I hate you because you're a bitch.

    I feel like most of you left out one of the most important things that religion had brought to culture, which is art. Regardless of your opinions on the existence of a higher power, none can deny the beauty coming from either the ancient Greeks who brought tribute to their gods or the Renaissance.
    Both of which have either depicted gods or religious figures in both sculptures and paintings. I can acknowledge that as well as the importance of religion even though personally, I'm an atheist.

    Gonna play devil's advocate here.

    I heard a really good explanation for this part of the bible from my mother of all people, a very long time ago.
    It's entirely likely that the explanation of "days" was a substitution for a much larger period of time, which people during the time period of the bible would not be able to comprehend at the time the bible was written. Try explaining the concept of millenia to the people of ancient egypt. It would probably be very hard, not even mentioning that evolution took millions of millions of years. Trying to argue semantics over a book that is extremely outdated is fairly difficult when you realise the technological status of the people who wrote it.

    Quote Originally Posted by Tauntshaman View Post

    I have many very sound reasons for that:
    1. Do you have the evidence that your god exist?
    2. just 1 is enough.

    --->I know ur gonna say that I can't prove that ur god doesn't exist anyways, so:
    If because I can't prove that god doesn't exist, then he might exist, then, same reason you can't prove that Allah doesn't exist.
    --->Therefore quran is right, cuz it's written by abraham or iprohim or whatever piece of junk. And it is the true holy bible
    --->therefore islam is right, and christianity or whatever you call it is wrong
    --->therefore god doesn't exist
    i just used the same logic to prove that god doesn't exist.

    same logic, you can't prove that our flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist

    Finally: The Soviet Union is the second strongest country in the world when they lasted. I don't see how your god put curse upon them. In contrast, Deutsch Reich, or more commonly known as Nazi Germany, the faithful believer of your god, failed miserably. Your god doesn't even bother bless them.

    Oh, and don't forget that ur bible painted jews as bad people, which lead to the holocaust.
    Devils advocate here.
    Well, you address this later in your post. Several people have made cohesive arguments around the existence of god. While I can't vouch for any of them personally, here's a wiki page.
    This is actually a logical fallacy.
    Either/Or or Black/White, False Dilemma, or Excluded Middle Fallacy
    This fallacy simply paints an issue as one between two extremes with no possible room for middle ground or nuance or compromise. It is closely related to the straw man fallacy, which essentially paints one side, instead of both, as so extreme no can agree with it.

    Fallacy Ex: “You either support George Bush or you support the terrorists.”
    By drawing this comparison you show a lack of knowledge over both religions. The two dieties are incredibly similar and only separated by a few interpretation differences. I'm firmly the convinced that the deities both christianity and islam believe in could totally be the same person.

    Not going to comment on the soviet union comment because I've already extensively shredded that. Also, the comment about Nazi Germany is just insensitive and you should feel bad if you think that a (supposedly) benevolent god would condone the mass slaughter of jews.

    No. The jewish and christian bibles literally share a testament.

    et cetera.
    most of the african countries are christian. clearly your god don't bother saving them. Instead he just let Ewwropeans sell these innocent people as slaves
    This is also a logical fallacy.
    Affirming the Consequent
    This is a fairly difficult fallacy to understand or spot. It is categorical in nature and, essentially, means reversing an argument, or putting the cart before the horse, meaning reversing or confusing the general category with the specific/sub-category. Note that in this fallacy the premises/reasons are actually correct or valid; the error is found between the premises and conclusion. Usually, the error occurs because we incorrectly assume that the Premise was a sufficient condition, when in fact it was only a necessary condition (one of many conditions) necessary to prove the conclusion.

    Fallacy Ex:
    Premise: Ducks are birds.
    Premise: Ducks swim in the water.
    Premise: Chickens are birds.
    False Conclusion: Chickens swim in the water.

    (Affirming The Consequent Fallacy: not all birds swim in water; swimming is neither a necessary or sufficient condition to be the thing "bird")

    Just don't try and misstate things. If you're going to create an argument against christianity, at least do it correctly. I'll get the aforementioned athiest friend to get me a good argument against christianity for @Rachyl to debunk here because yall aren't making a really good argument going here

    Re: The Different Religions Of Mafia Players From Around The World

    Judaism evolved, by some accounts, rather forcefully, from Canaanite polytheism, which makes a lot of sense if you look at the Old Testament as if you were reading Greek myths. God resembles a Pagan God through and through. The Kingdoms of Israel (Judea and Israel itself) venerated Yahweh (or Ba'al Hamon, if I'm not mistaken) as their national god, but they didn't hold him to be the only god. They attempted to reinforce belief in that god by completely rewriting their traditional religion and turning it from a form of polytheism into a form of henotheism-monotheism. Now, the idea that they actively rewrote their own religion sounds a bit fanciful, but it's generally agreed that Judaism (and, therefore, Christianity) evolved from Semitic polytheism.

    Re: The Different Religions Of Mafia Players From Around The World

    My personal belief is that the Universe can't have plopped into existence out of the blue. Someone or something must've been a guiding force. And the theory that the Universe plopped into existence literally out of energy... that theory only leads one to ask: And why was all energy concentrated into a single point in the first place? I think this implies a cycle of Universes disappearing and reappearing, which is equivalent to saying 'the Universe has always existed, one way or another.' This is similar to believing that God created the universe, because, God, due to his very nature, is supposed to be immortal and to have always existed - and he can't create something out of nothing either, because that would violate the laws of thermodynamics. It's one big clusterfuck there -'the Chicken or the Egg?' Frankly, I don't understand those who absolutely believe, beyond the shadow of a doubt, either that God exists or that he doesn't. It's like bashing people who buy into the 'Chicken' theory just because the 'Egg' theory looks better to you.

    Re: The Different Religions Of Mafia Players From Around The World

    I disagree with what Rachyl's doing -frankly, I'm not sure I understand what he's doing - but I disagree to the same extent with Ozy and Tauntshaman.

    Atheism is a strong, religious reaction and aversion to all those who believe in a God or a supernatural force. It really is a form of religious zealotry that has as its core tenet 'God does not exist and I know this for a fact, and those who disagree with me are insane.' Bashing people who believe in God while you absolutely believe that God does not exist is akin to being a religious zealot, bashing those who do not believe in your own God.

    Rachyl is preaching catholicism in its most canonic state... I think that religion actually helped him/her though, so I say let rachyl be.
    Ozy is a fervent atheist, and you got it right. I prefer that sentence though: Athiests are the most pious people: they see the absence of God everywhere.
    Tauntshaman is a communist, so lol it's not a religion, and communist = atheist in another way. But hey, communist songs are so beautiful that I nearly want to be a commie too lol.

    Re: The Different Religions Of Mafia Players From Around The World

    I don't have time to read all of this but I'm gonna throw my own beliefs into the mix. I worship the Tuatha De Danann, who are a tribe of Divine beings who are the children of Danu. They invaded Ireland around 4,000 years ago, ruling over the Island directly from 1897 BC to 1700 BC, according to the Annála na gCeithre Maístrí. They come from Murias, Gorias, Falias and Finias, in Lochlann (Norway). Lebor Gebála Érénn describes them as having arrived in Ireland riding flying ships covered in dark clouds, landing on Sliabh an Iarainn in Co Leitrim. It was there that they used their flying ships to blot out the sun for three days. The natives of Ireland had this to say about the matter.

    The truth is not known, beneath the sky of stars,
    Whether they were of heaven or earth.
    As opposed to the short, dark skinned, natives of Ireland, the Tuatha De Danann were purported to be tall, slender, with Red and Blonde hair, blue and green eyes, and pale skin. Archeological evidence has found evidence of small colonies of red-haired people all around the world during this time period. In Xinjiang Province in China, mummies with red and blonde hair have been found and dated to being around 4,000 years old, just to give an example. Another example would be the Egyptian nobleman Yoya, who lived around 1400 BC, and had blonde hair and Nordic features, as did his wife Thuya. She was Tutankhamun's great-grandmother. Genetic testing has also shown that Ramses II was red headed, and many ancient Egyptian statues are depicted with red/blonde hair and blue eyes.

    Going back to the Tuatha De Danann, when they arrived on Ireland they had to fight the existing ruling tribe, the Fir Bolg, in the First Battle of Moytura. During this time, High King Nuada Argetlam of the Tuatha de Danann lost his arm in battle, and was forced to give up his crown. However, the physician Dian-Cecht crafted a seemingly robotic "Silver Arm." Some time later, his son Miach (also a physician) caused flesh to grow over the metal arm, making Nuada Argetlam whole again and thus the Kingship was restored to him after the ousting of his successor, the tyrant Bres.

    The Tuatha De Danann brought with them 4 Artifacts, known as The Jewels of Eire: The Sword of Light, Lugh's Spear, The Dagda's Cauldron, and The Lia Fáil.

    The Sword of Light (also referred to as Claoimh Solais) was said to have been used by Uiscias in Finias and was brought to Ireland by High King Nuada Argetlam. Once the Sword was drawn in battle, none escaped it's wrath. Described as a glowing, white torch, the similarities to Light Sabers from Star Wars is honestly quite startling.

    Lugh's Spear (also referred to as The Finest Yew of Wood) was made by Esras in Gorias. Lugh used it to kill his own Formorian grandfather, The Giant King Balor, at The Second Battle of Moytura. It has been suggested that Lugh's Spear Crimall (which blinded High King Cormac mac Airt, making him not whole and therefore unfit to rule) and the Lúin Celtchair were the same weapon, however there is no evidence to back this up. The Lúin Celtchair was a long, fiery lance from which sparks the size of chicken eggs flew. In order to keep the flames from burning the shaft and the warrior holding it, the spearhead was dipped in a cauldron of mysterious liquid. It is claimed to have been discovered at The Battle of Moytura where Lugh killed Balor. Having many similar properties to The Sword of Light, this is another example of technology far more advanced that that of the rest of the world.

    The Dagda's Cauldron (also referred to as The Cauldron of Plenty, a.k.a. Coire Ansic) was made by Semias in Murias. Not much is known about the cauldron other than it is purported to have the power to restore the dead to life, and that "none would go from it unsatisfied." Dr Ulf Erlingsson suggested that the giant stone basin around the Central Mound of Knowth (part of the Newgrange complex) could be Dagda's Cauldron and that the concentric, circular design show on it could be a map to Atlantis, as described by Plato.

    Finally, The Lia Fáil (also referred to as The Stone of Destiny and The Coronation Stone) was made by Morfessa of Falias. It was brought to Ireland by the Tuatha De Danann and placed upon The Hill of Tara in Co Meath. It is said when The Rightful King of Ireland was ordained, the Stone cried out and it's roar could be heard throughout the entirety of the Island. Unfortunately, it was broken by Cuchullain when it did not declare him protégé. One half was taken to Scotland where it was eventually set into the throne of the British Monarchy (Yes, Queen Elizabeth's throne).

    The original home of the Tuatha De Danann is known as Tir na Nog (The Land of the Ever Young) to the West of Lochlann and North of Ireland. It could be reached by Sea or by passing through the gateways of the Sidhe mounds. In Tir na Nog, time seems to stand still, while in the Mortal world it passes in the blink of an eye. The story of Oisin, Fionn mac Cumhaill’s son, and his Otherworld lover, Niamh, illustrates this perfectly. After only 3 years in Tir na Nog, he returns to the mortal world to find 300 years have passed. When his feet touched Irish soil, age caught up to him and he promptly died and dissolved into dust.

    It is important to note that the Tuatha De Danann are not immortal, they may be killed in battle and through disease, however age does not touch them. They were forced out of Upper Ireland after just two battles with the Milesians, when a treaty was drawn between the two tribes such that each would rule half of the island. The Milesians, as the victors, chose the land above ground and forced the Tuatha De Danann to retreat underground. They were led to their new domain by Manannán, God of the Sea, who shielded them from mortal eyes by raising Faeth Fiadha (a supernatural fog).

    Okay... that's all I have time for bye-bye.

    I said I don't have a religion. Meaning not believing anything. Atheism seems to me to be believing, just the other way around.

I think this implies a cycle of Universes disappearing and reappearing, which is equivalent to saying 'the Universe has always existed, one way or another.' This is similar to believing that God created the universe, because, God, due to his very nature, is supposed to be immortal and to have always existed - and he can't create something out of nothing either, because that would violate the laws of thermodynamics. It's one big clusterfuck there -'the Chicken or the Egg?' Frankly, I don't understand those who absolutely believe, beyond the shadow of a doubt, either that God exists or that he doesn't. It's like bashing people who buy into the 'Chicken' theory just because the 'Egg' theory looks better to you.

    Draw a timeline and Mark a spot that says "chicken wasn't chicken" then draw an egg right next it.

    You are right, of course. But for all I care - if anyone preaches his religion to me, they can either expect the same in return or a more negative response, which is appropriate.

    It's not 'up for debate' - it's a metaphor for the paradox of the creation of the Universe. Either it has always existed (?) or it was created by someone or something. But who created that someone or something?

    Then maybe you should've stated that you don't have a problem with religion per se, but with those who 'preach their religion to my face'. It didn't seem that way to me and I think it didn't seem that way to you either, you didn't state your religious stance until very late in the thread

    When a preacher does his thing - the person and his religion become one and the same to me. Fuck both of them. And no - that is not an insult. It's phrasing an attitude.

    So you believe all religious people are the same? This is in itself a belief. I fail to see how your belief is any better than his.

    IN ANY EVENT, since this thread has derailed massively:

    Not everyone has, as per Rachyl's request, stated their own religious beliefs (or lack thereof)
