This thread has been eye-opening in that it has shown just how far people are willing to go to twist facts an logic in the quest for hope, even at the expense of reason and science.
Look, guys, God might be real, religion might be legit, and Christianity just might be the way, but there's no scientific evidence to back any of it up.
You can't disprove religion, but the conclusions drawn from religion cannot be proven either. If you make the claim that God is real and that your religion is right, then the onus of proof is on you, not me. It is the clergy that is making bold claims, not scientists. It is the church that is pushing an agenda without backing it up. Without some sort of proof (and no, anecdotal 'I felt the presence of God' stories do not count), Religion SHOULD be given the same level of credibility as Moby Dick or Grimm's fairy tales.
But it never will, because religion is so deeply ingrained in society that you can't get rid of it. Despite it being devoid of logic or reason and existing only as a catch-all to fill in the holes in our knowledge base. Basically, religion is just there to say 'hey, we don't know everything, so why not create an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent being that can just be the answer to everything we haven't figured out?"
It was dumb when we thought that volcanoes were the rage of the gods, it was dumb when we thought the plague was a curse from god, and it's dumb now that people think the world is 6000 years old.
The only place religion has in an enlightened society is in ancient history alongside the pantheon of greek gods and other myths. Until the church can substantiate their claims, religion should be treated with the same dismay as flat-earthers.
