You just went waayyy off topic. This thread has nothing to do with justifying belief or instigating a debate. No where in this thread do you see me even implying that Theists are in any way wrong.


Yes, I went off topic. Your topic is so ridiculous and boardline flame bait that it can only be discussed in a "What were you thinking" kind of way. You still haven't aswered me as to why you think it's so interesting to talk about those with faith.



please explain to me how this topic is flamebait.

My interest in religion is explained here:

You have so little regard for the religious beliefs that you don't even realize what you're doing when you post nonsense like this, do you? You think religion is stupid so you make threads like this. Your link spells it out quite clearly. Religion is a joke to you.

Fine, if it's so funny to you, go ahead and laugh. But have the common courtesy to do it alone and have the common decency to leave people alone whose only crime is having faith. I know you think that alone is proof of ignorance, but try your hardest to let the children play pretend if that's what you think the majority of the world does.

I have a suggestion for you. Stop caring what other people believe and find something else to fill your life with instead of futile attempts to challenge religious views with faux-intellectual discussions.

If you want to be an atheist go be an atheist in peace.

I am very tired of all the atheist posts on this video game website. There wouldn't be any religious discussion on this video game website if not for atheists who can't seem to go a day without belittling those with faith.

I never said religion was stupid or was a joke. Perhaps you can't read? I said I didn't understand why people believed in certain religions and was interested why. How is that in any way an insult to religion? Please, answer that question. Please point out where I said Theists are stupid, funny, childish, or inferior in any way. Go ahead, I'll wait. Perhaps you should stop assuming and learn to read.

By the way, many Theists have told me personally that they appreciate the discussions we have. I don't pretend that I'm a genius or I'm somehow smarter than Theists. I just enjoy having discussions with them, as they do with me.

Come back to me when you find out how I've belittled anyone's faith in this thread.



hehe :) well, it took faith to hold on to Nintendo through the hard years, many times bordering on faith.

Pokemon was quite the hail Mary at the time (haha I'm not catholic either), and the Wii was just a pure miracle honestly.

Ok, you want quotes from your link? Fine, you said, " Christianity is such a bizarre belief that it's really hard for me to understand why people follow it." and "...I argue that Christianity is flawed" You think religion is so illogical I can tell you think anyone with faith is stupid. You just intentionally shy away from saying it outright. What I think is hilarious is that you think that post you linked somehow shows you are playing nice with silly believers.

To answer your question, suggesting that faith has any correlation to which gaming company one prefers is belittling. I thought it was so obvious that I needn't bother spell it out for you. I know you think those with faith are so dumb they can't read, but I did read your linked post. It did the opposite of your intent and I saw no reason to discuss it. Rather than learn to read I'm going to go ahead and assume that you're either playing coy or your distaste for religion is so thick you can't see how insulting this thread is to the intelligence of those with faith.

You know just as well as anyone else that people don't choose their religion like they do a video game console. Putting on an act as if it's just for discussion does not disguise your motive, "Christians will see my arguments and agree with me, therefore changing their beliefs".

I suggest you give the following a try: Stop trying to save the silly majority from a life of blissful ignorance. Don't be the door-to-door bible thumper of internet atheist missionaries. Find in yourself enough respect for others to just flat out drop the subject and find something else to talk about on this video game website.

I'm not asking you to give faith a chance. I'm just asking you to live and let live.



I'm a Nintendo fanboy, and I'm just culturally Jewish, which basically means I'm agnostic, funny, and good with numbers.

Wow, someone tell Kain to relax, this isn't about debate it was just an interesting coincidence. I jump at the opportunity to debate religion (ask HappyDolphin or Timmah), but clearly this thread isn't about that...man. Don't be so defensive.



Hutnik is/was mainly Xbox

I'm agnostic, meanwhile. A mean left-winger, but i don't categorically hate religion. Once we weasel out the bad things that religion can be used for (diminishing women, bias against gays, etc), it generally does good things in the world.

Nice user name. It suits you.



I really didn't want to post in this thread again (because I so love reading through political/religious threads!)...

But let's try not to get personal in here. 'Kay? Sweet.

*suddenly posts a lot in other threads to get this off my forum buddy*
