Critical thinking has nothing to do with it. There are plenty of educated people who believe in religion. Plus we have evidence that p*rn reduces belief in God. Porn vs. Religion | Psychology Today I'm not making this up, feel free to do your own research, we have evidence that p*rn (as well as other forms of hedonism) reduce belief in God. Hedonism is absolutely a factor when it comes to atheism. |
Who cares if it reduces belief in God? YOU CANT EVEN PROVE YOUR GOD EXISTS.
People like you are the problem and why there are more Atheists today.
There is literally nothing to believe in.
Not scientifically verified. No evidence. Nothing you said reinforces that there is anything scientifically verified.
WHERE is the whitepaper?
What a load of crap.

I am more religious than my parents are. My dad rarely goes to church, but my mother goes weekly. Either way, I am more religious than both of them combined. |
That likely explains why you were indoctrinated into a cult at a young age, your parents already had that predisposition.

If religious people become atheists later in life, its because they want to live hedonistic lifestyles. There is evidence to show that viewing online p*rn can weaken peoples belief in God. Ever wonder why atheism rates have gone up as soon as p*rn became more widespread? Trust me, its no coincidence. Logical and critical thinking have nothing to do with it. Just plain ol' hedonism. |
No. That is another lie by you. (Which is a sin).
1) Everyone is born Atheist.
2) I became an Atheist due to a LACK OF EVIDENCE. - In short, I became a man of Science.
Porn having an influence on belief is correlation and not causation, you haven't provided evidence for this claim. Lavamelon said:
Zeus had his 15 minutes of fame. But now he is nobody important. Poor guy. As for the Abrahamic God, things keep looking brighter and brighter. 52 percent of the worlds population currently worship Him, and this is expected to reach 70 percent by 2100. Islam is on the verge of conquering Europe, Australia, and USA withing upcoming decades. Much of the world will have Shariah law by then. Good luck comparing that to anything Zeus has done. |
Islam or any religion for that matter will not conquer Australia.
We are Australian, we don't pull punches. As a society we don't like religion pushed into our faces.
In saying that, the number of believers is irrelevant.
Remember... 100% of the worlds population thought the Earth was flat once... Science and evidence showcased that was a false Assumption. (You know... Those things you keep doing?) |
It IS scientifically verified. The Catholic Church uses the scientific method to determine if miracles are verified. You are assuming they just sit there and say "yeah it looks like a miracle, so lets just go with that". Sorry, but thats not how it works. They actually do scientific verification on things.

What’s a ‘miracle’? Here’s how the Catholic Church decides
The Pope’s scientists study miracles
Oh, and the Catholic Church hires non-Catholics to help them verify miracles. Why non-Catholics? To prove they are not being biased. So that argument falls out the window, if you were hoping to use that.
And yes, Islam is taking over Australia. Here in Sydney, we have entire regions which are completely Muslim, no women walking around in revealing clothes. You cannot distinguish these places from Saudi Arabia or Bangladesh. As a Christian, I trust these Muslims more than you. Muslims are respectable towards me and my beliefs, unlike you. Australia has a fertility rate of 1.6 children per woman (below replacement rate), they need Muslim immigrants to help keep population steady, so the process of Islam becoming the majority are coming true. Good news if you ask me.
