Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

You got two extremes here Atheism and christianity. Both are hard to swallow whouldnt you say? Because if life has no meaning, then what is the point of doing these deeds for your community, for the world, if you have nothing to fight for. And beleive me fighting for yourself isnt enough. I think you do realize this. Im sure their are parts of you you would like to change. Im sure of you had the choice you would choose to be the smartest, the strongest, the best person on this planet. But can you imagine a God who loves you dearly for who you are? Thats something to fight more. That is a weight off your sholders. That is a burden that has now been taken off. That my friend is something to fight for. A greater destiny. A greater meaning. A greater picture. He made you purposefully the way you are. Every detail. You were made for love. You were made to love.  How can so many people get it wrong? Because people are by nature lost creatures with no light. God gives us himself and what do his people do? Rely on themselves to do the tasks at hand. And when we rely on ourselves, sadly that is where evil steps in. And it will jerk you around and flip you over like a pancake. Things can change so fast, you cannot beleive it. And what do people do? Blame the creater! If you plant a seed and nurture it and take care of it, do you expect it not to grow? If I plant a seed of pride in me and water what will I expect? For it to disapear? Its like a virus taking control of its host. Do you think it will be done over night?lol This is called longterm effects.  Second we cant do it alone. It is, sry to say impossible. We cannot accomplish perfection, because we cannot even define the word perfection. We cannot comprehend it. It really sadens me to see people who think they know what perfection is. For example, the navy tells me that they will make me a better person. ?? What is better? Stronger, faster, smarter, more confident? And then next thing you know my recruiter is checking how women anywhere he goes, and he has a wife. :/ Is this the better person I want to be? Aboslutely not. Swear like a sailor sure does apply as well. Doesnt this bother you?  Now imagine, the burden of sin being lifted off your shoulders. It feels soo good. The thing that we all long for! And it is reality! Can you imagine! Jesus died for us, he carried the cross, and all of our sins were put on him. Our sins can be forgiven and we can be made new, because of what he did for us. OF course this doesnt agree with our natural selves. We are destined to kill our natural selves. TO dig are way out of the cacoon, that binds us and takes us away. The devil will urge you to beleive this is nonsence, and to stay in our shells. So he can open us up in hell. JESUS DIDNT COME TO JUDGE US! BUT TO SAVE US! Amen.

I agree with you, But no where in the Bible says anything about Christianity as a separate religion But as a relationship with God. This guy is not a rarity actually, and nowhere in the Bible does it give any one particular person/persons such a ridiculous amount of power (The Pope). In Fact the Bible is against such things. The Pope is basically a god in his own right, as whatever he say flaw or not, is true, whether it adheres to the Word that he claims he follows or not. A Christian is a follower of Christ. Not the follower of an earthly human being that isn't saying what God is saying In the Book that they are supposed to be following. The Bible clearly states that everyone is free of will, and that you shouldn't force anyone into anything. Which most 'Christians' are doing. The Bible never said anything such as The Sun orbits the earth, Or the Earth is flat with Jerusalem in the middle. Humans did. and they were pompous about it. You may say that since the representatives did such evil, that must mean the relationship/religion must be wrong. But you must understand that they weren't following the Bible in the First place. BTW I Know some very friendly, Kind hospitable Muslims. They Know i am of a different ... Relationship, But they understand and respect my views and I do theirs, In fact one of them has converted... merely because their perceived God is said to have 99 names with Love( not sexual, but pure love for fellow man) not one of them. Christianity believes that God does everything out of Love. And that no other religion is completely wrong. But those who deny such a thing as His existence, are right about many things, (shown in the book Ecclesiastes). Right about things such as finding out things for yourself. Somethings cannot be known without experience. Many Christians have no reason, no driving force for their faith. And that is what I Like to Call Blind. If someone was to ask me why I am a christian right now I'd give them some very interesting events, with no scientific explanation that happened in MY life that i was a witness of. Scientific professionals and tools ( doctors,surgeons, X rays) could not explain what was wrong with the person involved with the events in question.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: yes

having a relationship between Jesus christ is the foundation of the whole entire bible. And you tell me I am wrong? I am just tlling you is speaking in me. John 10:27 "MY sheep listen to my vioce; they know me and they follow me". I am speaking not out of my own self, I am speaking what my heart trusts. What comes out of that is Jesus christ living in me. Their is so much power in the word of God. So much Love. Having a relationship with Jesus christ the son of God, and beleiving who he is will set you free. Trust is the key word here. Eternal life is found in him. Therefore Christianity is more of a relationship then a religion, therefore it is a relationship.

Very true.But is impossible to communicate with a person who has not accepted Christ.Not saying that I haven't.If You do the opposite you simply stress yourself Out.

It is not impossible. What do you think I am doing on the webcite? I am completely prepared to be persecuted. But I am still here. I will in the name of Jesus open up my hands to those who need it, for the rest of my life.

Ah Hah, We all Know That Science is fallible, and yes, I will tell you there wasn't any 'automatic' anything. Im not saying because they couldn't solve it is why there was something supernatural. Im saying that it was a factor to why there was logical evidence to some extent as to why there is more to the world than the Natural.I do believe you know of a sect called Freemasonry?
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

"Im saying that it was a factor to why there was logical evidence to some extent as to why there is more to the world than the Natural."It totally depends on what kind of evidence you are talking about. But I must point out that almost everything that has been shown by science to be naturalistic in origin was once thought to be supernatural. Just because something seems supernatural, does not mean it is. "I do believe you know of a sect called Freemasonry?"I know a bit about them.

Palsm 93:1 ""the world is firmly established, it cannot be moved." As the Sun rises and sets, and the Bible says the Earth does not move, then technically your right, it doesn't say the Sun revolves around the Earth, but it sure implies it.Furthermore, you're also right that Galilio, a christian, did prove the Earth revolved around the Sun. And he spent 12 years of his life under house arrest for his discovery. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GalilioAnyway, the point I was trying to make, is that religion was a way for humans to have an answer for something they couldn't prove yet. Before Geometry or Astrology, we needed to know why the Sun set at night, and it was easier to say that the Sun was Helios as he rode his chariot of fire across the sky, then to admit we had no idea.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: yes

Ah but you see the earth revolving around the sun actually makes perfect sence according to the word of God. The sun represents God and we represent earth. We revolve around the sun. Without the sun we cannot live. IF you have read the bible you would know that persecution is what you will go through as a christian no matter what the circumstance. Who so you think God was living in? Galilio? or the popes?............................. Galilio.

Before I say anything I am a christian. Furthermore, I dont beleive christianity is a religion, but a relationship. You could say that you believe Christianity is a mountain but that doesn't have any bearing on the definition of religion. You believe in a magical being, and that this magical being communicates with you. That is a religion.I hope your not implying that only atheists have brought us to where we are today in science. Because that would be far from true. And the man who proved that the earth revolved around the son was christian. Also the bible does not say the sun revolves around the sun so this is a mere human flaw.He is implying that creationism and religious stories are made up from the imaginations of ancient peoples. Also, you are wrong about the sun orbiting the Earth, in that it is clearly implied in the bible, with verses repeatedly insisting that the Earth does not move, and that the sun moves.

I would advise you to be careful when using Bible verses to theologists. The verses you are referring to are PSALMS. In other words, songs, poetry etc.Logic would tell you that for poetic purposes that these psalmists, would say such a thing, not as a Fact, But in the name of music.Your statement is greatly invalid.Using strong words such as 'insisting' and 'imaginations' 'ancient' does not change the implications YOU have made of being ignorant of what the Bible says at least in this area."The rising sun la la la"If i put that in a song does that mean I think that the Earth stays still? no it doesn't. It means i'm artistic.

Ha Ha here we go again. when i say psalms i did not say the Book of psalms. Psalms in the Bible are not only found in The Book of Psalms.The majority is tho. and even so clearly you can see that they are speaking of the solid earth itself. Not the Whole body.If parts of the earth shake that does that mean the Earth shakes?OK my body parts shake.But does that mean that my body shakes as a whole, together?that's the same thing with flooding.In a part of the Bible it says he'll never flood the earth again.Clearly you see there are still Floods? The Bible indicates the WHOLE complete earth, In this example and this one as well(if you are taking it literally).

Ha Ha here we go again. when i say psalms i did not say the Book of psalms. Psalms in the Bible are not only found in The Book of Psalms.That was not a poem, it was a story. The bible repeatedly references an immobile earth, in addition to suggesting it is flat, with certain stories which could only take place on a flat earth.

Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: yes

THAT is an opinion NOT a fact.You have a problem....You mean Noah's Ark? You forget that around this time the continents were connected?Examples:Isaiah 40:21-22Have you not known? Have you not heard?Has it not been told you from the beginning?Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,and spreads them like a tent to live in;Daniel 4:10-11Upon my bed this is what I saw;there was a tree at the centre of the earth,and its height was great.The tree grew great and strong,its top reached to heaven,and it was visible to the ends of the whole earth.Matthew 4:8Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour;Revelation 1:7Look! He is coming with the clouds;every eye will see him,even those who pierced him;and on his account all the tribes of the earth will wail.So it is to be. Amen.I think it's pretty clear that we have a flat-earth book here. This is consistent with the beliefs of the era.

I dont see how this scripture realtes to anything regarding that.On a spherical Earth no tree or mountain could be tall or high enough for what was described. A sphere prevents the bottom half from seeing that tree, or the mountain from seeing the bottom portion's civilisations. A flat Earth, however would permit what happened in the bible.Well, I'm leaving the site today. It was nice talking with you these months.

the imaginations of ancient peoples. Also, you are wrong about the sun orbiting the Earth, in that it is clearly implied in the bible, with verses repeatedly insisting that the Earth does not move, and that the sun moves.Remember that this is a very old text. Heliocentricism was barely conceived of just 2000 or so years ago. The bible is between 2000 and 3000 years old. We didn't have a mathematical model of Heliocentric theory until about 500 years ago.Why would you expect such old texts to predict something barely conceived of then? If you are reading texts of a culture in a period when it was believed that the sun orbited the Earth, why would you impose your knowledge onto it?SHow me the verses1 Chronicles 16:30tremble before him, all the earth.The world is firmly established; it shall never be moved.Psalm 93:1The Lord is king, he is robed in majesty;the Lord is robed, he is girded with strength.He has established the world; it shall never be moved;Psalm 96:10Say among the nations, ‘The Lord is king!The world is firmly established; it shall never be moved.He will judge the peoples with equity.’Psalm 104:5You set the earth on its foundations,so that it shall never be shaken.

Most of the bible is symbolic. You just use the earthly kind of eyes. The bible is full of deep wisdom and knowledge. When you dip your hand in water you assume the water is shallow. But the water is very deep! Full of love and life!

Before I say anything I am a christian.That's saying something. Quite a revelation, in fact.Furthermore, I dont beleive christianity is a religion, but a relationship.I'm afraid Christianity fits all the criteria for being defined as a religion.I hope your not implying that only atheists have brought us to where we are today in science. One observes that the those theists who first practiced natural philosophy came to doubt their religious beliefs as they learned more of the world. Isaac Newton is a famous example.And the man who proved that the earth revolved around the son was christian.It does not revolve around the son (of either God or anybody else), it revolves around the sun.Also the bible does not say the sun revolves around the sun so this is a mere human flaw.The entire bible is a human flaw.

Christianity is a religion theres no denying it but the goal of that religion is to develop a close relationship with God seperated from sin.
Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: yes

Is it really religion that is the problem or is it rather the diversity of religion. Religion gives humanity all of the improvements you described but because of our diversity our respective religions are at war with each other. Essentially its a clash of cultures based on interpretations of what is sadly not a credible source, I am referring to the collected gospels known as "the new testament." Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all feuding over this document that has changed millions of peoples lives yet hardly anyone questions where it came from. The gospels we know today we're formed around 40 years after the death of "Christ" but they were not written by his disciples but more over they were local interpretations of Jesus. It wouldn't be 200 years later until a bishop chooses those most beneficial to the church. Wars are started over sentence structure of this orally passed down document. I hold nothing against religion but it is similar to communism, looks great on paper but destroys what makes us human in application.

Debate: Would the world be better without all religions?
Side: No

I'm not a religious person, but I hate the arguments against religion.The arguments against religion tend to be as stupid as the atheists claim religion is.Religion doesn't cause many problems at all. It's people who wish to dominate and are intolerant who cause the problems and use religions as an excuse. Even worse is the fact that this trend of using religion for their own means was more prevalent from the birth of Judaism than any other time, which tends to give a bad image of all religions and not specific ones.

Well put religion is not the underlying cause rather it is the justification, interestingly the religions that these violent people claim to follow generally don't promote such action, so the cause is most likely not religion but rather religion is the justification.

Side: No

So called violence in the name of religions is created by a bunch of fanatics. No religions encourage people to wage war or kill each other.
