Default Re: why does this forum care so much about religion

I know some facts, and some things that are unexplained.

What if those facts you "know" aren't facts though? How do you "know" them? You don't sound open-minded to your own infallibility. How can you accuse anyone else of being close-minded?


[ QUOTE ]
Those facts give me a logical reason to have faith in the unexplained.

This is quite a stretch of words and pseudo-ideas. I think you effectively said "I have faith because I decided I have faith and I like it."

"Not a bunch of guys who have their minds made up and already decided that scriptures are bogus."

So do you also believe in scientific Hindu scriptures or are only Christian scriptures truthful?

Hindu scriptures aren't backed by science.

I seriously almost pissed myself...

This implies that Christan scriptures ARE?

Because I don't know what science classes you took, but dead people don't come back to life. Bread isn't flesh, wine, isn't blood. A woman can't get pregnant without jizz jizz, and generally speaking seas don't part.

I also seem to recall a few Vatican refusals to allow some carbon dating.

I can take a "I believe" but don't imply that there is ANY scientific merit to the vast majority of the scriptures.

To get really technical, most the Hindu and Buddhist "religious" leaders can be proven to exist. Not so much with ol' jesus. So science doesn't reeeally back up your savior much less most the works he represents.
