I also agree that faith is blind, but that is by design and definition. It doesn't make much sense to believe on something that has no proof (in general), but to each his own. |

You see? There is no purpose. In your case, you only have to "glorify" that lovely guy who sent his own son on a suicide mission to the Middle East, and that's all. There's no purpose, actually. In other words, you're confusing theology with teleology. |
Quote:
And I wasn't confusing Teleology with Theology. I was in no way attempting to compare or contrast the two. I did not mention Teleology because I do not believe that life has a final goal or purpose. I personally view life as more cyclic in nature. The end of one period is the beginning of another. There is no final goal, just progression and maturation. And I was in no way trying to glorify Jesus' crucifixtion as a basis for believing that life has value. With or with out religion, life would end up the same. Good and evil would still exist. |

Religion is doomed, paedophile priests are just one example of how man makes a mockery of religion by useing their power to ruin kids lives. How can we trust god when we cant trust his servants. That religion is a tool only for control and fear, much like modern governments or old. religion has brought us such enlightened times as the crusades, inquisition to name just two. Do i believe in god?, yes i do. But, not some rewritten book. My family and friends believe i'm a good man, and i believe in them. thats my and their power and strength. Is'nt that what god preaches?.

Good job whoever's posting Christopher Hitchens. He's brilliant when it comes to debating religion and God.
As cardboard adolescent basically said in a previous post, there is no such thing as objective purpose. Even if God does exist that doesn't mean everything God does is good, or that I should want to be part of God's plan. We make our own purpose, our own fate, our own choices. If you need a fictional invisible entity to make you feel like you have a purpose, than your life probably really is an empty void of meaninglessness. |

All that god **** is getting old. I'm a pagan, so for me, religion is just like nature communing + Mysteriousness X 10. It's fun.

As in I didn't understand what you were trying to say. "How do you know for sure it's empty void of meaninglessness and not an empty void of meaningnessless?" I can't decipher this one... I assume it's a misprint? because of the first line the rest I can't figure out anyway. I don't mean to be hostile, I'm just interested in whatever you were actually trying to say. |

I am an Adeptus in the Ordo Luciferi and an ex-member of the Temple of Set, my beliefs are aligned with how Dr. Carl Jung explained that gods, devils, demons, angels, djinn, gregori etc. are ancient archetypal images embedded deep within our unconsciousness, they are brought to the conscious surface by way of symbolism and ritual. I understand what most people refer to God as to be the natural ordering of the objective universe, as opposed to the subjective universe which is our imagination, thoughts, etc. - SB |
I realize you all believe that religion is doomed, IMO it will be a cold day in figurative He77 when the Democratic Capitalist's will allow religions to fade away. Society needs fear to keep going at the rate its going. Religion is the root of obidiant social form. And when the numbers start dropping, BOOM a catastrophy occurs and new believers are born.
Now I had a thought the other day, true believers seem so neive to people like you and I who believe in Evolution. But the funny thing is ,were still looking for more answers and are still unhappy with not knowing all the answers. we are lost souls drifting. Alot of us still live a life of complete chaos, and don't know how to get out of the ruts we seem to be in. Now look at the life of a true believer. do they not seem content with there life and seem to have there figurative sh1t together? Now I am not saying that there belief is correct or that I believe this. This is intriguing to me. So getting back to the point that religion will eventually die out, I can't see it, In the days we live now with so much anger and destruction happening, humans need that structor. now the building may fall but the belief will still be there. It may sound like im promoting religion, but trust me I don't believe in any organized religion. but to understand the hypocrisy you must first understand why religion was created. Humans are scared of the unknown. |

Dawkins just attacks the more obviously obnoxious believers and beliefs.
Let's see him target more rational Deists. |

I think that over the course of time there will be a distillation of the core truths that are present-- to a greater or lesser extent-- in all religions. I think it's human nature for us to form groups based upon common beliefs, and because of that I believe that religion in the sociological sense will never die, However I do see a lot of reshaping of beliefs regarding some supernatural concepts that are present in many religions, especially Christianity.
