POLL: What is the World's Most Evil Religion?

Quote from Gordon Gekko:


that's what all this is.

uneducated people with terrible critical thinking skills trying to explain the universe.

it's god damn ridiculous!!:D


I couldn't have described you better myself!


Thankfully, we have a lot of intelligent, highly educated people deciding that pure determinist models of the universe leave a lot to be desired and are FAR from the be all end all that their supporters make them out to be. Unfortunately for you, being ignorant, unedcuated, uninterested and psychologically unable, you'll never know.
 
Gekko,

You make me sick man. The way you act on these religious threads is disgraceful... :(

If you cannot discuss the matters at hand in a intellectual manner, then why waste your time at all?

Commisso

question for atheists :


If christianity is anti-progress, science, etc, why then is the west so far advanced, in these areas, compared to the east or athiest based countries ? christianity is the dominant religion of western man, yet science and progress thrive in the west.

Surf,

I think it has much less to do with Christianity than it does with America being a highly motivated capatalist country. You don't seriously believe that Christianity has spawned our industrial age more so than the love of money do you? This is by far the most materialistic country in the world, it only makes sense to me that our material growth would outpace the rest.

With that said, it is true, that many eastern flavored "religions" (if they can even be considered as such; Taoism, Budhusim, Hinduism, etc) have certain belief structures that have hindered their lands material growth.

PEACE and good specul8tion

Oh btw, I'm not an aethist, just thought I would give a remark to the question...

Quote from dougcs:



A text of a dialogue with a creationist:

": What is the principle evidence for Creationism?

Christianity is NOT a blind leap into a dark chasm but rather is faith based on reputable fact.

A: The Holy Bible. The Holy Bible is divine rather than human in origin. We have: Manuscript evidence, Archeological evidence, Prophetic evidence, Statistical probability.

Q: But isn't the Bible religion and not science?

A: NO. the Bible is actually 66 books written by over 40 different authors spanning a period of about 1200 years. Many of the historical writers knew nothing about the plan of redemption. Many of the writers did not know each other and did not know that the others were writing.



Q: But isn't there a lot of evidence for evolution?
A: No. The fossil records do not bare it out.


Q: What about the fossil evidence?
A: There is NO PROOF of macroevolution demonstrated within the fossil record. The fossil record is the biggest embarrassment to evolutionary theory. Again there is NO evidence of translation of one species to another within the fossil record.

Q: Is there any other evidence for Creationism besides the Bible?
A: Yes.

Q: Can you give us some?
A: Yes.

Q: Could you give us a specific example?

A: Yes. Creation is by complex design which demands a complex designer. Nothing from nothing yields nothing. You can not get something from nothing. Mater must be present in order to have substance. Mater has to have a beginning and a creator.

The human eye for example is highly complex in its makeup and design. Such an event would not and could not come into existence simply by chance. The human eye must have a creator.
The car engine is another example. The car engine was not self existent but was rather created by complex human design and NOT by chance.

Q: What be a specific example of evidence for Creationism?
A: I've already answered that question.


Q: Did the dinosaurs coexist with man?
A: There is some evidence that during the life of Job in the Book of Job in the Old Testament "dragon" like beast such as leviathan lurked in the fields.

Q: Should Creationism be taught along with Evolution in the schools?
A: YES.

Q: Doesn't the Geologic Column prove that the Earth is very old?
A: An argument could be given for an "Old Earth" theory but that is beyond the scope of the topic at hand.

Q: Hasn't Evolution been demonstrated in the laboratory?
A: Im sure it has been attempted to no avail. Again there is NO evidence of Macroevolution within the fossil record.
Without the fossil record you have no evolutionary theory.



Q: Doesn't genetic variation indicate that life has been going on a
long time?
A: Since the beginning of Adam in the garden of Eden life on Earth has continued.

Q: What about Neanderthal Man?
A: Piltdown Man, Neanderthal Man, pithecanthropus Erectus and the like are ALL FAKE! they owe their origin to human ingenuity & creativity. All of the above have been proven within the scientific community to be false and made up.

Q: Why do almost all of the scientists believe in Evolution?
A: There is no evidence to suggest that. There are many scientist that believe in creation.

. I just want you to think about THE ABOVE with an open mind.
