| DélioPT said: You respect religions or religious people as long as they are smart? You don`t have my view of the world and i don`t care how far out is yours or how far out it can be. I respect YOU. and that`s what you didn`t do. "they receive plenty of respect and tolerance from me. So yes, I am very much tolerant and respectful towards people who believe in god" and then you go insulting Mary? In the end all that you show is that, through your judgment of their explanations being they way you like it or not, you respect them. You should respect them first and foremost. You don`t like what you are hearing? No one ever likes what they hear one time or another. Should we go one calling people names and insulting what they believe, just becasue of that? |
Mary is different than god. You do realize that there may be a god the way you think there is a god, but the stories written about him, by humans, may just be bullshit? There is a HUGE difference between claiming "there is a god who is like the judaic god" and claiming "a woman had a baby without having sex." Are you also claiming that everyone believes every part of the new/old testaments? I hope you don't say yes, because then you dig yourself in a hole. GIven this, why should you believe some parts, and not others?
Furthermore, let me explain. I don't know what happens after someone dies, so there may be hell and there may be heaven. There may be an armageddon, there may not be. There are many things which could be true or false. However, a virgin birth is absolutely known to be untrue, and beliving in it is downright idiotic. Same with the 10 commandments, and a bunch of other things that are obviously downright bullshit. So there you go, an explanation how you can have someone believe in the christian god, and being able to distinguish between the bullshit and not.
I guess I should define what I mean by idiotic. Beliving in something when there is overwhelming evidence to the contrary. There is no overwhelming evidence against an afterlife or the acutal god for example. However there is beyond overwhelming evidence against a virgin birth (unless humans become asexual). So believing what I believe has nothing to do with who I respect and tolerate.
You also seem to avoid my question about the pregnant girlfriend. Will you believe her that god is the father of the child in her if she says so?
