Well, talk about a stab in the back! You get mad at me for saying a stupid thing in the topic and you go lying like that! -5 point to you for that post! The majority of replies I made were usually from you!

Sparked from me just stating my opipion and trying to stop people from misinterpetting my words. The only ones who have openly created arguments so far for the sake of arguing and not defending their ideals from attackers have been you and Noel from what I can read... so yeah.

The bible is a good book.

90% of the bible is historical facts? This may be true for the new testament, but certainly not the old. The majority of bible stories from the OT are considered fiction because they have no historical evidence to support them. As for not being entirly proven wrong, I think they've been proven wrong as best as possible. Classic one; the Earth is 10,000 years old! Clearly it's older than that, but of course Christians will say "yeah but what if the world span SLOWER back then? Then it could be true!". This it wrong, because plant and animal life wouldn't have been able to survive in the freezing night or the scorching day for so long, yet we have plant and animal remains from 150 million years ago. To me, that's a part of the bible that has been proven wrong.

I'm not getting into the topic but just a note on what Noel said.

They say they have proven they can see how long something has been around, but this all comes back to what came first the chicken or the egg. Coal could have been on the earth when it came, same with dead animals etc that look like they've been around for so long.

Theres my 1 cent.

I am also glad that I got here before it was closed. I'd appreciate it if my entire post was read before you reply. This topic originally started out being about how Bible stories "rock". Meh. If I want fictitious stories about the creation of the world, I'll play Zelda, or Final Fantasy. I find those fictional stories much more enjoyable and fun to get through.

But on a more serious note, It has already been said, but I'll say it again. 2,000 years ago people wanted to know what made things happen. Obviously, they didn't have the technology we have developed in the last 200 years to see things. So they figured it just happened. So, I guess somewhere along the lines, it became the divine will of "God" for something to happen. "The world was the center of the universe, and the sun, and other planets orbited it along with the stars" once said an astronomer from long ago (I forget which one it was). This is a perfectly reasonable explanation. We see the sun moving, and as do the planets and stars. So, yeah, this was this "God" fellows doing. This is a perfect example; because he technology wasn't available to show them otherwise.

Now, we can see that we are not the center of the universe, and, we are actually moving away from it. People let go of this idea (The one about us being the center of the universe) because there was enough evidence to prove it to be false. I can hope that this will happen on a larger scale with religion as a whole.

I'm all for the good morals presented by the bible, but the amount of raw, made up, BS kills it for me. As ShadowTiger said, it's better to live your own life, and develop your own morals. I think this is true, and you should not set your life around a book that says beating your wife, and killing gays is okay.

Ahem. There are some people posting some of the most idiotic things, and I'd love to unload on them telling them how stupid, and flat out wrong they are but I won't. It's not from fear of getting in trouble, but instead, it's not worth it. Idiots will be idiots until they die. I can only hope for one day, when science can, and will finally disprove these fairy tales.

Call me a closed minded ass, but this is one thing I will never, ever accept. It still blows my mind how people can still accept things after those specific things have completely been debunked. I know not everything has been disproven. I'm talking about things that have.

Good day.

EDIT: I suppose I should mention that this is my opinion, and you're entitled to disagree. I'm not trying to change anyone, or tell you how to live, so don't try that one.

And another -2 points for not admitting his fault like a man. If you really want this topic to stay open, then fine. I'll just stop replying to it. So get your head out of your arsh and LISTEN UP! Don't say you didn't argue if you've made replies back and forth against another person. That, good sir, IS AN ARGUMENT!

TOPIC CLOSED!! (admins, please close this stupid topic before it gets even more out of hand).

That just ruined it for everyone. It just shows that this thread cannot be handled peacefully without someone calling one or many a flame word.

Well, Animus. You got your wish.
