Is religion a sign of mental weakness?

typical liberal-democrat ... (ie; socialist fascist)

Idiot

 

Good argument well said

 

I wasn't disputing whether people should have faith or whether they should prove it to the disbelievers etc, people are free to believe in anything they like and have personal faith in whatever gives them comfort.

BUT, its different to assert that since the non-believers do not have proof of the non-existence what is claimed then they should be accepting of what is claimed.

 

Evidence of "belief in God among every culture" is not the same as Evidence of "God" itself. There have been cultures that have believed some really absurd things, does that prove that their beliefs were rational.

And yes, the burden of proof always falls on the person making the claim. What exactly is the atheist denying if the thing claimed is only a matter of faith.

 

What about the rights of the baby, why do you deny it's right to exist?

The debate has absolutely nothing to do with a women's control over her body, and everything to do with the rights of the unborn child.

 

What a load of crap.

1)Don't kid yourself that your beliefs or personal philosophy is evidence based.

All of your other specific arguments are equally vapid as persons who hold contradictory views do not require belief in the flying spaghetti monster to oppose.

2) Likewise you should keep your personal opinions and philosophy behind closed doors based upon your claims about society.

 

Because if they are wrong, they are wrong, you asshat.
If you are wrong, you are wrong, asshat.

 

The rights of of the baby are protected .

Unfortunately the debate has nothing to do with an unborn child and everything to do with moral and ethical issues in regard to principle rights of the mother and her fetus.

 

"BUT, its different to assert that since the non-believers do not have proof of the non-existence what is claimed then they should be accepting of what is claimed."

So what if someone says you should accept what they claim?

Are you being required to accept their claim? Are they going to penalize you if you don't accept their claim? I don't think there is a Spanish Inquisition going on these days in America forcing people to adopt or accept the personal faith of others...is there?

Why not just laugh it off?

Or just say, "I am happy for you and your faith, and as long as it doesn't interfere with my own faith, everything is cool."

 

So you know what is right or wrong about the unknown?

That ass hat sure looks good on you chimp...
