The practice of religious beliefs; ritual observance of faith. (yep there"s that word again "beliefs") There"s also that word "faith". "Faith: A system of religious belief" + other definitions. We"ll stick to the standards that disproves the god of the bible. 2. Belief that is not based on proof: (duh and double duh) 4. Belief in anything, As a code of ethics, Standards of merit, Etc. : (duh and double duh) "Why would you believe anything on faith? Faith isn"t a pathway to truth. Every religion has some sort of faith. If faith is your pathway you can"t distinguish between christianity, Hinduism, Judaism, Any of these others. How is it that you use ---reason--- in every of the other endeavor in your life and then when it comes to the ultimate truth, The most important truth your"re saying that faith is required and how is that supposed to reflect on a god? What kind of a god requires faith instead of evidence? " Matt Dillahunty "Faith is the reason people give when they don"t have evidence. " Matt Dillahunty "Faith can be very very dangerous, And deliberately to implant it into the vulnerable mind of an innocent child is a grievous wrong. " Richard Dawkins "Faith is the great cop-out, The great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is the belief in spite of, Even perhaps because of, The lack of evidence. " Richard Dawkins Love: A profoundly tender, Passionate affection for another person 3. Sexual passion or desire. (the bible HATES sexual passion or desire) "Now, There's issues with Pros argument in regards to the topic:" Well see, Its not MY/ PRO"s argument now is it? So you did accuse me of something. 1A) It clearly doesn't account for all religions Well it doesn"t make any attempt to and it knows it. So that point is null and void. If your point were in any way true, Which is an impossibility then every single religion would be represented, Which is an impossibility because nobody knows how many religions exist. 2A) It is strictly adherent to the dogmas in whatever few religions are prescribed Actually no. Many religions practice what is stated in the article. 3A) It has it's own contradiction of claiming the good of religion is the only thing paid attention to and yet only calls out the evil Really? I"m not aware of any good the article wrote on as far as religion is concerned. "3B) I don't think I need to go too deep into love being a worth debate topic, " Sure you do, That"s the very title of the debate "the illusion of love" That"s exactly what religion presents. "Or even atheistic, " By you mentioning that, You have no idea, None, As to what atheism is. "1A) Pros argument"" There you go again. Its not MY/ Pro"s argument! Continuing "has exclusivity to certain religions, If not, Only one religion. It may be Christianity or Catholicism, I'm not sure honestly. " Right, You are not sure. Since you are not sure, Then why should I continue with this debate? You do realize 100% by you stating that, That"s debate ending trademarks thus declaring you the automatic loser - correct? "The real problem"" The real problem is you are not "sure". Continuing "We'll take Buddhism for example. " You do understand that Buddhism is not a religion. Let"s see if you know why this is true? "Pro should have picked a better topic to instigate. " OK if you mention me again, I will end this. Jeez. I truly hate people that simply cannot do something as wide and as vast as READING. You know. Words. Sentences. "2A) It's a safe bet for Pro to hold this position, " OK we"re done. If you want this debate to continue, You are now required to rephrase your ideals. If you do not wish to, Bye.
