"Well your right , Waxy There is no real `` logic `` to my post , because if one thinks about the art of debating religion , the concept of logic goes out the window . A true believer has only the bible to support their beliefs , they can not go to a lab or science room and prove their beliefs on a table , or use cobalt to date religous belief , so their belief is all based on unseen faith . I have only a high school education , therefore I do not have the vocabulary the master debators use on here , nor the artistic way of putting together sentences . So bear with me please , while I try to explain my post a little better .... Since you put me in the spotlight here , I will use you , with great respect to you of course , as my point of debate . You have went on record here stating many times , that you do not believe in a `` god `` the way we believers do . Now with that notion in mind , why do you and others hang out debating on a religous forum ? ? In case you havent noticed , the posts against the notion of God and Christianity , greatly outnumber the posts of the believers . Is that not a interesting fact when you think about it ? I dont believe in a lot of things that I am exposed to in my walk though life here on earth , so I have NO interest in trying to prove those things wrong , THAT I feel have no validity . Clear as mud now , ? ?"
"I think there 's a few points to be made here - 1 ) This is a forum specifically for the purpose of discussing God and religion . Thousands , hundred 's of thousands , maybe even billions of people who do n't believe in God have n't bothered to seek it out , they have no interest , it attracts those that do have an interest in learning how and why others think and do as they do . 2 ) Discussing something , no matter what the reason or how much it is discussed , does not lend any validity to what is being discussed . There is an infinite number of examples I could give to illustrate that point . Take in a sci-fi convention some time as a prime example . 3 ) I do n't see so much the discussion of `` is there a God/is n't there a God `` , as I do the discussion of religion and the Bible . That is a very important distinction . Religion is very real , and affects all of us , whether we are believers in it or not . Whether or not Bigfoot exists , or the Klingons are invading someone , has no bearing whatsoever on my life or reality , religion does . I think that is the reason you see such fervent discussion and rejection of Christianity on forums like this . Why the large outcry ? Those in the minority always tend to be more vocal , they have to be , or they 'd simply be overwhelmed by the `` silent `` majority . Waxy P.S . Do n't sell yourself short , you more than hold your own on these forums ."
