Isnt it pointless to even talk about your beliefs?

Everybody gots their own beliefs and they cant be proven right or wrong. Even the beliefs of atheist cant be proven right or wrong. They most likely are dead wrong like most people are.

Many, many beliefs can and have been proven wrong.

No. It's always interesting to hear the beliefs of someone else, provided they do it in a civil manner. Every discussion about beliefs doesn't have to be focused on proving the other person wrong. LZ71

Too bad most discussions end up as $hit flinging contests...

I enjoy hearing people's point of view, though sometimes I think they're moronic. For example, this happened today.

A women in one of my classes made a big deal that ADELE(Fat singer girl) is having a child and isn't married, what benefits does being married offer someone who's worth 32 million dollars?

She didn't offer anything besides it being the 'right' thing to do.

No, sharing beliefs is what advances society. Hiding in the shadows makes things worse and results in even more bias and conflict.

Yes it is pointless.

As I've said before all religions including atheism are exactly the same. Arguing which one is better is like arguing which brand of mayonnaise is better. Everyone has a preference, but there is no real difference.

Many people continue to hold beliefs even after the facts show them to be quite clearly wrong. (e.g. people who think that the earth is only a few thousand years old)

Yea you are right hearing neo-nazi's talk about how much they hate black people advances society. Yep you are right, when the jews were getting a "shower" in ww2, it was their fault they died, I mean they just hid in the shadows.

How old are you? I've only met kids this stupid.

Religious arguments are for the most incompetent of the human race.

Your trolling is pathetic , please find something else more productive to do with your time, like popping zits on your face

It's not pointless as long as you talk to people who actually care about your beliefs and are willing to listen to you and not some anynomous bullies on a stupid gaming forum like Gamespot.

It's nice to share beliefs the problem is some people can't just accept those are your beliefs and leave it at that, they always want to attack your beliefs and keep hounding you of why you should believe like them.

Exactly. You will never be able to change what someone else believes in unless he gives you permission to do so.

It depends on the context of what your beliefs require. I know of several faiths that REQUIRE you to at least try and convert people over. It doesn't mean you have to be successful, but you have to at least try to at a minimum. If you don't try at all you could go to Hell for inaction.

It's kind of like a person who knows CPR and sees a victim while in a place with a Good Samaritan law. If he tries to save him and fails then at least he tried. But if he doesn't do anything at all he could be in trouble for inaction.

On the other side of the fence, you have Atheists who want to convince people to get rid of religion out of concerns people are using their religious beliefs in making decisions on laws, such as gay marriage and medical procedures.

He's the one calling people children, but only those who speak like him are those who have yet to finish grammar school

Only if you think every belief has the same amount of credibility (including if you believe that) its pointless to talk about ones beliefs.

And he is not exactly incorrect.

Think of the WBC. Having their bigoted beliefs out in the open has made more people aware of religious extremism and human stupidity. Also here applies the principle that "you need to get it wrong a couple times in order to get it right". Humanity learns through its mistakes. Let a portion of the population that is wrong freely express their wrong beliefs so that the rest of the population realises what is sensible by contrast.

If you analyse human behaviour you'll find much of it pointless in the grand scheme of things. Me posting this for example is pointless. No one will gain anything from reading it and I've just wasted a good 33 seconds of life and approximately 3 calories in doing so. Everyone's a loser.

Yes but if you associate atheism with science and the scientific method then I have to say that science is currently the most accurate picture of the universe that we currently have in our possession. Well it's not perfect but it's definitely closest to the truth.

Well athiests have logic on their side and tend not to believe in magic. So at least some factual evidence resides on the athiest side.
