Are you really that childish? I really don't know what's wrong with you. I’m serious, what could possibly posses you to make yourself look like such an idiot?
Not only have you provided this forum with zero content, and you post immature personal attacks. If your opinion isn’t represented, then spend time and post a thought out reply.
Is it because I thoroughly shot down your movement for this forum to be disbanded? Do you think this is the place for stupid comments towards other TDC members?
If I am the "n00b" why is it that I am taking the higher ground here? I learned quickly that smart ass comments aren’t taken well here, and am currently trying to gain some respect. It seems like you’re acting self righteous, the way a person does when they know they are wrong.
If your going to reply with STFU, don't bother, what is that going to accomplish? Your next move is going to determine a lot now.

damien, quit tarnishing an otherwise sensible debate. and don't assume to tell people what DC is for and what it isn't, you have absoloutly no authority to do so.
My opinion is this: Let people follow their religion. I hate people who believe that it is their job to actively disprove the beliefs of others, which makes me sick.
I am catholic, and many people I know seem to be offended by that and try every chance they have to put me down about it. Christianity seems the main target for aetheists, people often make jokes about child molestation and such. As far as child molestation goes, that is not part of the church. Some bad eggs commit it, but some bad aetheists do it too. It is not a belief of the church and should therefore not be associated with it.
I attend a catholic school, out of my own free will (I chose to go there) and apallingly, the catholics there are outnumbered by aetheists, who laugh at our school masses, which sickens me. I mean, by all means, follow what ever belief or lack thjere of, just don't go round mocking the beliefs of others.
Hey, everybody! Ok, I'm sorry for quiting on yall guys, but I really need to start working on my game. I spend way to much time on this forum, and I haven't worked in a while. I am aware some of you will think I'm just giving up on this arguement, but I'll try and post sommething whenever I'm bored. JP, you've got some good points, but I'm just afraid this arguement is just going to be narrowed done to "is not!", "is too!", in an enlongated way (if I didn't use that word right, you know what I mean ) I said it before, and I'll fo ahead and quote myself, "In the end, everyone walks away more determined that they are right." (hey, I'm quoting myself as if I were actually wise!) But really, I'll keep reading. Until my next post, I bid to you, whatever!

haha @ JD's (Dustin G.) comment
And now time for some explanations...
"It was recorded that Jesus fulfilled 62 prophecies in the Roman thingy. The odds of that happening on accident is less than the odds of picking one random ion out of every ion in the entire universe."
Well, the chance that the recordigns are false is signifciantly higher than that the results are true.
"But in the end, theres 9 to 1 ratio of Christians to Everyone else in America, so conform to the patterns of this world!! BWAHAHAHA!! WE COULD KILL YOU EASILY!! GIVE IN TO PEER PRESSURE!!! HAHAHAHAHA!!"
Actually, the ratio is a lot smaller than that. Probably around 5:1 is the closest, and that's being high. And remember that there's over 4 billion non-Christians, and Christians aren't the largest religious group (Muslims are, if I recall correctly).
Oh, and I agree with Muz on this: religion it self isn't bad, it's the people that make it bad, because they realize there's a lot of power in religion and they sieze it. Mohammed originally didn't have any clerics or holy men in Islam, but eventually the mullahs and imams took control.
I don't believe you. What had Constantine to gain? He was the first christian imperor of Rome and moved the center of the Roman empire to Constantinopel, a very fameos city he founded.
Hey, i have time for quick comment: This is a long forum JoNick guy. Quote people whenever you refer to something they say. People don't wanna look thru more than 90 posts for what your talking about
Just to go ahead and clarify (I didn't know until after i posted this comment), JoNickArt is refering to the original post by JP. It may have been obvious to everyone else, but let me go ahead and tell everyone: PLEASE QUOTE PEOPLE WHEN YOU REPLY TO THIER COMMENTS, its really annoying if you dont know what your talking about. Also, make sure your point has not already been disproven unless you have contradicting proof that reproves your point.
That was long anyways. I just can't stop, can I

Actually, JP, I believe Muslims are the largest group, I remember reading/hearing it from somewhere, and I generally don't remember things that are from unreliable sources. I could be wrong, though.
I'm a religious person but not in the same sense as most of the people who have posted here. I consider myself a Satanist, on the Anton Szander LaVey branch. I have to say that what some people know (or don't know) about their own religion is laughable, especially Philipe (I'm not trying to single you out or target you specifically, it's just that a lot of what you had to say was... questionable, to say the least).
I think it's great that the Christians and Catholics on this forum are standing up for their beliefs. I would think very lowly of them if they didn't. And TomF, well done for your retaliation to insulting something people base their life around, I just couldn't have put that better. I get shit from egotistical devil-hating purists all the time, and they don't even realise what they're attacking. Nothing angers me more.
Yeah, I'd also like to say that it's good to see JP did his research before analyzing religion. Most people that try something like this don't know what they're doing, and their idea of religion is similar to the infuriatingly ignorant statement, "The Bible is just a book some nutters wrote to get money and power." that Wizard Games wrote.
[EDIT] Just a note before people point fingers and try the conversion game on me, yes, I do consider myself a Satanist, but that does not give you any right to tell me what I believe in is wrong. Thank you.
[EDIT 2] About a comment Muz made... "A lot of people become athiests just so they could look at porn, have extramaritial sex, gamble, and drink all the beer they want, whether they realise it or not."
Sorry Muz, but people don't 'become' an athiest for any reason other than they don't believe in a God(s) or a Diety(ies). That's what athiest means. You can't sit down one day and think, "I'm not going to believe in God anymore because I want to have premarital sex". If you truly believe in something, it's a lot harder than that to stop believing, it's a very long and gradual process of questioning and self-interpretation.
