The (test) heated debates thread.
- Thread starter Tha_Wood
- Start date
Pointing out the lies, contradictions, hypocrisies and flaws in a belief is not the same as shitting on it. The problem is some people are simply unable to accept the truth because they are preconditioned and brainwashed through being raised in that religion/faith.
It's like - if every day since you were born, I told you that water was dry, and took you to some stupid building where everyone else also said that water was dry, and then when you were mature enough to be out in the real world, someone tried to explain to you that water was actually wet, you would not be able to believe that either. It would literally go against everything you've been told your entire life.
If you were intelligent enough to be able to step outside of your own experiences and look at things logically and rationally, you would come to the conclusion that "OK - water actually is wet". But most people are unable to do that.
That's why atheism is prevalent in countries with the highest standards of education, and you won't find a great deal of atheists in countries where people are poor and uneducated. Religions take advantage of this to draw people in that don't know any better - Christianity being probably the worst offender with things like the Crusades, etc. In more recent times, newer religions/cults employ these same methods of preying on the weak - that's why you see Scientology tents set up whenever there's a crisis. They set up tents in schools after there's been shootings, etc, or after natural disasters such as earthquakes.
Religion is for the weak minded.

Thank you. Last time I visited here the Pakistan thread was at 8 pages (albeit I stopped going once it turned to religion bashing), I come here now and its at 21 pages. Wtf people? How can the same ten to fifteen people have the EXACT same discussion every three weeks, for the last two years?
I get it, religion is the most ass backwards asinine idea in the history of human kind, but arguing about it day in and day out on an internet forum and being serious about it makes you look like just as much of a moron.

I enjoy the sun. If I had to pick something to worship.. I'd pick that. Granted.. it goes against my desire to be a vampire before i'm 25 (which isn't looking so good).. but still. I can see it, I know it's alive because sun spots change over the years. I can FEEL it. It helps food grow. I mean, it's literally freaking awesome. I love it so much that the word "sun" is in many of my usernames.. my twitter is "Bohemiansunsets" and my xbox live gamertag is "Pixiedelsol" or sun pixie.
I shall worship the sun and it shall be my deity. Like the Fellowship of the Sun (from Trueblood) but without the southern people and references to that other guy.. Zeus? Oh wait.. that's not him.

Keep it in here. Simple as that.
We don't need these same threads surfacing everywhere. This is a test thread to try and keep things from going off topic.
There has been complains from members, some prominent who have even been vocal about it in past threads (before you ask... they are religious and non religious members). We want people to come to the board, not leave it, especially older posters.
If it can't be respected, other measures will be taken.

Mass Effect 2? Good game. First one was better I thought only because the second one seemed very short and way too easy. First time I played it i played on Hard and beat it with no problem. The story was kind of short and quickly put together. It was all about the new crew but I am hoping that is just a warm up to what is to come.
Oh and not to go off topic.
Scientology makes me lol.
This thread ain't gonna work.
Why?
Because issues like the Pakistan/Facebook one for example, are always going to require their own thread. Obviously, people are going to respond in THAT thread. Because it's that subject that has warranted the reply.
If someone makes a thread about how [Insert particular religion] has done something dumb as hell, why the fuck would I reply to it in this one?

It's a temp solution for the time being until we figure something out more concrete.
Unless we make this an official Religion discussion thread. (In the words of wisdom forum obviously)
All issues involving religion such as the Pakistan/Facebook incident can be discussed in there. Those willing to argue about it in any way they want can do so in there (as long as it stays insightful and isn't beef/insult/disrespect ridden). Instead of having threads plastered everywhere most dealing with the same issue in the end.
So for now, stays in here. I'm sure you and I know, no matter what is posted in here, people will take a look and comment if they please. The thread title as it stands is enough to spark one's curiosity and take a peak inside.

Why don't people on here stop being so up their own arses and realise their opinions aren't the only ones that count, even if the rest of your streethop friends agree?
I can't imagine how obnoxious some people on here are in real life. Do you go outside places of worship with placards saying religion is for morons? I actually think your anti-religion views are as bad if not worse than those that blindly follow religion. I think most people on here know each others views about religion, now time for some hush!

I will.
Debbie Gibson and Tiffany to appear in Syfy film – The Marquee Blog - CNN.com Blogs
Former 80s teen pop sensations Debbie Gibson and Tiffany have been cast opposite each other in a Syfy original movie.
"Mega Python vs. Gatoroid" will feature Gibson as a fanatical animal-rights activist who frees illegally imported exotic snakes from pet stores and releases them into the Everglades - where they then morph into super-sized menaces - while Tiffany will portray an over-enthusiastic park ranger out to save endangered alligators.
The pair, who used to battle it out on the charts, have starred in Syfy productions before, but this film marks the first time they will appear together.

It's worked in other forums, such as the Footy threads and they're probably the most active threads on this board, so... If there is an interest in it - people will post in there. It is fairly obvious that it is a hot topic on the board, so more than likely it will be active. Simple as that.
Shit - look at this thread, it's already slowly taking off.
Appreciated.
