Debate: Satanism vs Christianity
Side: Christianity

So it seems we both see the world as it is and yet we've got different view points, as it should be and is normal.Wrong. You see it as you want to see it, not as it is.Imagine a world where everyone believed in the same thing, all the time? I think that would be boring and unproductive.People will always have different opinions on subjects but religion is and will always be nonsense that does no good. There aren't just two kinds of people. If there was no religion human world would be much more productive.I believe balance is key to mankind's success.Balance? Very stupid again. Not balance but peace, more or less, peace to do what is necessary without some idiots denying reality and wanting to stop those who don't, and no hindering factors like religion. Religious and nonreligious are not some forces - religion is made up, there would be "balance" if religion didn't exist, as everyone is born nonreligious.There's a difference between balance and "everybody believes in the same thing, all the time". Do you see the difference?No, I don't see the difference, because you got it all wrong. "Believing in", you should really define what you mean by that 'cause there are limited definitions that apply to most nonreligious.I understand these articles have value, you're a living breathing example and evidence for that,Wrong again. They have value because they reflect reality, not because of me.and I'm a living breathing example and evidence for how I believe in a god.Believing something does not make it real. The whole universe and everything in it is evidence of that.The articles however, are not evidence for "how has religion declined", they're merely experiments giving X, Y, Z statistics that which have little to no value on how and why religions are in decline.Surveys are evidence. Those articles reflect those surveys. They are evidence. You are simply incapable of accepting the truth because the truth would hurt far too much. Just face it, you are dead wrong.Plus I explained why religion is in decline with simple logic.Just because people who take a survey say "oh i dont go to church", or "oh im not religious" does NOT mean that these same people don't believe in a higher power or not.So you think everyone is lying? Paranoia?It's just so stupid. Of course some people will lie about some things, or will change their opinions right after but that is a very small percentage and the surveys include thousands and even millions, making that little percentage pretty much meaningless.However the more important fact here is that belief in X, Y, Z god is not the same as "religion" or the "religious".There are very few theists who aren't religious. Where did theism come from? Religion. The most important fact is that religion is slowly dying.Are you putting money on the fact that simply "religion is in decline"? Or are you stating that "people believing in X, Y, Z god is in decline"?Essentially they mean the same thing. The concept of god and religion are directly connected. Both are in decline.Theres a fucking difference.There really is not a fucking difference. Believing in a god and religion are both going away, slowly.
