A proposal to end all religious topics

So im not sure if its just me but, ive been seeing a steady growth of religious topics each and every day. Those that try to prove/disprove God and as far as i know there are no new points being made at all. Everyone argues and brings up the same exact points in each thread. Since we have so many of these topics can we all just agree that if you want to talk about religion or the existance of God you should probably use the search button and read up on the countless threads made before? This way we can clear up some of these useless debates from OT.

This should be good.

I just simply don't participate in those threads. I have a good idea of what to expect and I don't think it's any good.

No.

No just no.

In making this thread, you are only perpetuating the trend you wish to end.

Why stop at religion?

in another universe religion doesn't exist and you are happy thereZumaJones07

Religion doesn't exist unless you want it to.

That wont work, honestly though the religion topics are getting very annoying and just like system wars it is the SAME users making the same stupid arguments/counterarguments...

It feels like anytime I look at a religion thread it is groundhog day...

I read what you posted just fine. All you're doing is complaining about something you need not subject yourself to. So don't subject yourself to it.

[QUOTE="nocoolnamejim"][QUOTE="fueled-system"]I said it is the same arguments there time and time again... I don't read religious threads but the amount of them is stupid when they all say the same thing

Meh there's a limited number of religious topics to debate... once you participate in them for a few years you hear just about all the good and bad and ugly arguments there is to be had, and you realise that you're not going to change anyone's mind.... which also means there's no point in complaining about people discussing it over and over: they have to learn that on their own if they're going to. Then new people arrive with the same arguments - OT grows, you know.

Some people come here thinking they have some astonishing revelation that will convert or divert everyone, and some feel it's their duty to eschew arguments some famous debater came up with for/against religion to change people's minds. Some people just want to upset everyone. And some people actually want to learn but aren't ready to listen.

I participated in the debates for years before getting tired of the same discussions, compiled an archive of evidence for evolution and said 'Watch and Read.' Now it's just 'google it'.

Either you're ready to further your knowledge and understanding, or you aren't. Even if someone else guides you or says something that changes you're mind it's a personal experience, and we will have different reactions and arrive at different conclusions given the same data. Eventually you get over yourself.CptJSparrow

this should've ended the thread. This may come as a surprise but different poster like to talk about different stuff. There is always 5-7 threads a week about "how do I ask this girl out" or "what should I say to this girl." I am not a fan of that particular topic, Do you know what i do? I refrain from reading the topic. Simple as that. I don't want to stop other people's enjoyment of talking about asking out some chick. They enjoy it...so have at it.

I greatly dislike TC's logic. You can apply it to any of a number of post topics here:religion, sex, politics, etc.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain, just imagine no religion...I really wonder if you can.

[QUOTE="lo_Pine"] Whether something exists or doesn't exist is independent from our consciousness. Maybe a blind man hears about the moon and refuses to believe it exists, but if he could only see it he would know that clearly it does exist.worlock77

The demographic here is too young, and since kids are dependant on their parents and are so naive they will believe whatever they are raised to believe. I have no problem with people expressing their views on religion but 99% of it is nonsense and I just ignore it.

Religious people are amongst the easiest to troll, have some fun with them!

Blame the atheists for not realizing God is real.

Claiming religion was ever a necessity is as ridiculous as claiming God is an actual entity. You have any evidence or references to your claims? Or you trolling?BygByron3

New research at the Gobekli Tepi site in Turkey has posited that organised religion pre-dates agriculture.
