I've had this debate before. If we regard everything as natural, then case closed. I stated earlier that I defined natural in this case as occurring in the wild. Also, I think your confusing Religion with tradition. Religion begins when you are told information, commanded never to question it...

Just thought this needs to be here too. ;)

ALL children are born Atheist=FACT! Atheists are natural. You were born that way. You were free at birth, fuck everyone who won't let you see that. You don't need a master to accomplish anything. You are capable of anything on your own. Damn the bastards that told you otherwise. 75% of...

Indeed many group early pagans into the religion pile. Not so. For many years, seasons, stars, planets, and elements were recorded to teach future generations. They were welcome to question the winter solstice, for example. But claiming crazy ass unheard of shit, and then saying, "NO! No...

Probably either, "Invisible what? WTF are you talking about" or "There are demons who ride the air above. When EEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO (Whale deity) calls you, he commands a demon to spear you and drag you onto a demon vessel." Since whales are intelligent and don't dive onto the...

You stated I knew very little about animal behavior. But with your next breath you state religion is natural. OK then. Plastic is natural. Global warming is natural. When I say natural, I mean it does not occur in the wild. And to state just because religion is almost as old as our species as...

So you really believe what you just wrote!? That religion is natural? You obviously have no idea...And you point the finger and call me ignorant. Classic. I just have to ask. Since your claiming My "opinion" that religion would not occur unless taught and children raised without any religion...

That sucks. Perhaps Cannabis could help. I think we discussed this recently. Here's to hoping.

My money is on the Mold theory. We're probably a colony of what another species calls something like bacteria or mold. "Timmy! You better get that pizza out of your room or it's going to human. You don't want your room all humany, do you!?" Lol.

I propose we rename the thread: "Proof WHY gods exist."

Fire at will!

How one perceives the universe is dependent on so many things. One huge one is emotions. I want an Objective understanding of the Universe. Objective means without influence of personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts. I want a greater understanding. This is how I...

Faith IS unnatural. It's not some opinion I hold. And you're confusing secular home with Atheist home. I was raised without practicing religions, not being taught to disapprove of them. The doctrine I received was to value education, use critical thinking, and base my decisions on facts. Lore...

"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded...

"Through the reading of popular scientific books, I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true. The consequence was a positively fanatic orgy of free thinking coupled with the impression that youth is intentionally being deceived by the state through...

You're proving my point, not yours. Why wonder about the galaxy if you "know" already. These men were NOT satisfied by the claims of the Bible, or any other claims which could not be tested. Where was there faith then? Your forgetting you were killed for non belief! Most of these men dare not...

Perhaps in his memory we can invent a measurement. 7.5ml = 1 Treyvon Add 2 Treyvon's of paprika to the... Dilute 10 Treyvon's per gallon...

I'm not confusing spirit with wonder. Wondering is what motivates science, yes. But what generalization is instilled by my parents? That faith is illogical and unnatural? That there exists a black and white difference between empirical evidence and lore? These were not instilled by my parents...

I don't understand. So a scientist can discover evidence, submit the evidence, form a theory for review, all the while believing it's a sham because he has Faith. I would think that the faith would hinder such actions. Why continue if everything you discover is not the way you believe it to be...

Large-scale surveys show dramatic declines in religiosity in favor of secularization in the developed democracies. Popular acceptance of evolutionary science correlates negatively with levels of religiosity, and the United States is the only prosperous nation where the majority absolutely...
