The Faith & Religion mega Thread

Nice video. You should also search for Zeitgeist 1 & 2, Penn & Teller Bible episode, George Carlin speaking about bible stuff..
p.s.Fitting quote -> "If there were no God, it would be necessary to invent him." Voltaire

Since we drifted off to videos, I can't help but recommend Religulous if you like religious satire

True. There is only one GOD. HE may have several names. You can pray him different ways, but HE is one. HE will not make difference of people based on cast, race, colour or wealth. For him all human beings are equal.

I would think that there are several religions out there that disagree at this point.

That's the point, that is the point!,

You can choose, believing or being atheist (that is my choice),
but there is no way to prove any of them

You can also be agnostic, but then you are not choosing.

But maybe, most of us are inside our minds are agnostic, cause well, no one can be 100% sure (come on, don't tell me YES or NOT, you can believe or not believe 100% but you cannot be 100% sure).

Unfortunately u r right. We say GOD is unique, there is nothing like HIM.
The moment we say there are several GODs it means GOD itself is not unique, which is incorrect definition of GOD.

But only in monotheistic religions, in polytheistic religions that definition is correct.

I'm not sure hundreds of milions of people who died fighting religious wars over centuries would appreciate this revelation.

I am sure 100%. like me there will be millions. You read GOD's scripture, you also will be 100% sure. When you read GOD scripture, you will realize this can not be written by any extraordinary person or even group of persons, that too 1500 years ago. I am talking about Quran here. Bible was also GOD's word, but unfortunately now its not in its pure form, we human being changed that to suit our need.

There's no reason to think this way. It is unknown if gods exist, and if a god exists, it is unknown how many of them are there, and it is unknown whether they are (if they exists) gods described in humanity's "holy books".

If you're sure, it doesn't mean you're right.

Some time ago a lot of people were 100% sure that Earth had pancake shape aswell..also you know you are right because you think you are right? Isn't that fake claim? If you have proof God exists then at least inform what he wants but it would be much better if you could proove he exists and why God doesn't do anything when people need HIM(again maybe it is not He but She? Or It?)? Why for example recently in Russia 111 people went lost(missing) on cruise ship accident? People deserve answers. If you claim you have them then give not talk.

Ok, I can't sit and watch this silently. In the end it all sums down to
1. The Bible/Quran is the word of God.
2. Why? Because the Bible says so.
3. How can we be sure the Bible/Quran is true? Goto 1.

Its unknown to the people who are non-believers.

Every soul will taste death. There is no exception.

If you have to be sure or unsure Bible/Quran is word of GOD, read them with open mind. If you want to conclude anything without reading, nothing much to say then.
