The next generation of religions are gonna take over.
Enjoy these times, once we get surrounded by religions that science can't debase your truly gonna miss these times.

Great fairy tales. Will read them to my children, so we can discuss all the fictional characters and events in the book.

If you think the bible isn't bullshit, then Your Brain Is Corrupted. Yes the world around you is temporary, along with all the made up religious bullshit in this world.

Just a warning about Erik C....he's what I refer to as a "black and white" atheist.
What I mean to say is if you spend time attempting to engage him in rational conversation about religion it will most likely get you no further than him responding with something such as "you can't have rational discussion about religion because religion is fairytales and made up crap and religious nutters are weak-minded fools with a Daddy complex."
He'll go no deeper than cliche generalizations, memes and insults....in my brief experience this is true.
Some would label him a troll....I don't believe he is. "Serious" religious discussion is "not worth his time". If he ever wanted to seriously discuss my faith I'd be happy to share it with him regardless of the number of insults he's flung my way......I just don't believe that will happen though.
Then again, he may just dislike me LOL.

It's really amazing what those 2 books have done, the control it holds over millions of people.

And if these 2 books wouldn't have done it then something else.
It's the people who do bad deeds not the books containing a mix of interesting thoughts and drivel.

How does one "seriously" discuss made up nonsense lies, that are the sole root of religion? You believe in bible or koran stories? You might as well believe in stories about Batman, OR Superman!

Tells you something about how weak minded the majority of the human race is... ::) Religious freaks are the worst, they are not able to think for themself and blindly follows some stupid book a MAN himself wrote, and they base their WHOLE life around that book.. Fucking ridiculous, but hey sheep gonna sheep... ;D

All you dumb fucks that think Jesus isn't coming back as he did once before need a reality check. We are in the end times look around you it says in the bible

jesus is a fictional character. He never existed to begin with, so he can't "come back." So you're the dumb fuck for believing in that nonsense.

Religions are a good antidepressant for people who for some reason can't handle some stuff in their life (and let's be honest - majority can't..). If not religion then alcohol/drugs or antidepressants. It thrives on a human nature, that's why it's so widespread and ageless. Many people juct can't deal with a reality and religion works as a "feel good" tool to reduce the stress, reduce the fear of death, the fear of living (and facing difficulties), just generally calms down. The issue is - there's no artificial way that makes humans "feel good" that doesn't cause problems on a long run.
Atheists are people who are too smart for these illusions, people who dare to face the factual reality, and that's not an easy way out, not a plasurable one (like being "buzzed" by alco, drugs or religiion), simetimes I'm jealous of people still believing in Santa.. I mean - Jesus/Allah or any other imaginary friend.

The Bible is true. The other book is not. Atheist asshats throw the baby out with the bathwater. Craig Titus killing someone doesn't make all bodybuilders murderers, and the existence of false religions doesn't invalidate every religion.

They are all identical/the same/copies of each other. One must lack consciousness to quite a degree to not grasp that.

I don't know. As you're the moron, so you tell me.

The bible is a pile of shit, the same as every other religious book. Only people of low intelligence believe in it. The only thing the pages of religious books, such as the bible and the koran are good for, is wiping the shit off your asshole.

Says you. How does the quote go? "We're both atheists. I just believe in one less god than you do"... ;)

To think, people in 2015 STILL believe in this horseshit.
The books were written when man knew next to zero about the world around him.
Faith? Faith is just another way of saying, delusional and scared.

Truth be told, the latest advances are yet more evidence of the veracity of the Book. See, man doesn't know anything about reality. That's the whole point. That's why divine revelation is needed. Back then there were already advanced civilizations. If anything we are getting stupider with time (as your post attests).

The bible isn't history, it is a fabrication, fiction. There is no science backing your crack pot beliefs. You're just too stupid to know any better. Atheism is reality. Religion is the fantasy. Grow a brain.

One book advocates murder for those who don't believe then their "way". The advocates helping less fortunate and saving people from themselves.
Goddam you're a dumb fuck.

Goddam you're a dumb fuck.
Even the bible advocates killing those who dont believe in their god. of course theists will say its not to be taken literal. ::) ::)
"If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers; Namely, of the gods of the people which are round about you ... Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him with stones, that he die." -- Dt.13:6-10
"Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel." (Deuteronomy 17:12 NLT)
"They entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and soul; and everyone who would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, was to be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman." (2 Chronicles 15:12-13 NAB)
"Suppose you hear in one of the towns the LORD your God is giving you that some worthless rabble among you have led their fellow citizens astray by encouraging them to worship foreign gods. In such cases, you must examine the facts carefully. If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. (Deuteronomy 13:13-19 NLT)

Today's Creation Moment
The David Inscription
2 Samuel 2:4a
"And the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah." There are two major schools of thought among biblical archaeologists. Many archaeologists go about their work with the goal of providing background to biblical accounts with their finds. But another school, called "minimalists", refuse to accept anything the Bible says unless they find solid evidence for it.
For example, minimalists argued for years that David never existed except as a mythical figure. They even went so far as to argue that Jerusalem wasn't even a city at the time David was supposed to have lived. However, in 1993, archaeologists made a huge contribution to this debate. While cleaning up an excavation at the biblical Dan, one of the team members noticed an inscription on a stone that was sticking out of the ground. It turned out to be part of a victory monument erected by an Aramean ruler celebrating a victory over Israel and possibly Judah. It is written in the type of Hebrew letters used before the destruction of the first temple in 586 BC. It boasts of the victory over a king, whose name is missing, but mentions the "House of David/King of Israel."
Believers don't need such evidence to know that the Bible is trustworthy, even when it talks about historical events. However, now there can be no question that David was a real person.
Prayer:
I thank You, Lord, that the history reported in Your Word is accurate, for it also records the history that saves me. Amen.
The Bible: Convincing History
Joshua 11:11 "And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire."
The Bible tells us that in conquering Canaan, Joshua destroyed the city of Hazor, which was the chief city in the area. Bible critics are usually skeptical of the claims made by the Bible, especially when it comes to Israel's conquest of Canaan. Excavations at Hazor began in 1955 and have gone on sporadically ever since. Archaeologists wanted to know when Hazor was destroyed and who it was that destroyed it. Doubting that Israel could have caused the destruction, some suggested Hazor was destroyed by the Philistines, by another Canaanite city, or the Egyptians.
New excavations during the 1990s revealed some interesting answers. The city was clearly destroyed by fire, as attested by the remaining ashes of the city, which are 3 feet deep in some places. This is consistent with Scripture's account. Because of the large amount of olive oil stored in large jars in the palace, the fire was especially bad there, reaching temperatures estimated at over two thousand degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, statues and idols were smashed, which is what the Israelites typically did in obedience to God. The idols destroyed were gods worshiped by the Philistines, Canaanites and Egyptians, making them unlikely as the destroyers. The pattern of destruction is the same as described by Scripture, leaving the only conclusion, say those closest to the excavations, that only Israel could have done this! It's good to see that even those who doubt the truth of Scripture can be convinced of its truth by history itself.
Prayer:
I thank You, Lord, that I can be sure of the Bible's promise of salvation. Amen.

I knew a muslim dude who try to convince me that chocolate bars had pork in them. I used to laugh and call him an idiot and convinced him there wasn't so he'd eat them. Later on I learned that they put glycerin in the bars which is a byproduct of the pigs stomach lining. hahaha. Oh well.

the big problem with religion and atheism is that they're both arguing something they can't prove.. there is a god/gods, there is no god/gods.
the only people who know are dead. once we can call em up we'll get to the bottom of it.

My word is gold, son. I have done the scientific and historical research, and reality backs the Bible every time. Sorry to dash your cute little atheist fantasies.
So get your research peer reviewed and published in mainstream scientific journals and be accepted by the mainstream scientific community "son". Until then, your cute little theist fantasies will remain just that... ;)

Atheists don't have to prove anything. No one can prove a negative. Religionists are making the claim that there is a god. Therefore the onus of providing proof of their claim is on them. They can't prove that there is a god, therefore they are full of shit.

Yes it's all fiction. Totally made up lies and drug inspired delusions. Read: THE SACRED MUSHROOM AND THE CROSS by John Allegro.

Damn.

I'm neither an atheist nor a believer but I'd like to make a couple of observations.
1. In my years I've found that those that do the most shit talking about Christianity are the ones that know the least about it.
2. I've also noticed that most Christians that I meet a nice people while most atheists that I've met are dicks. They have a warped, inflated sense of their own intelligence and an inexplicable need to discredit religion.
I prefer to just let people think what they want to think.

That hasn't been my experience. Of course Christians think you are going to hell but I haven't known them to be duplicitous shit talkers.
Atheists on the other hand are often hostile towards people that are religious. They think they are stupid and dismiss them all as hypocrites. As a result they treat believers with condescension and they do a lot of eye rolling. I wish they would lighten up.
Jews seem to be the quietest about their faith.
I've found Mormons to be the nicest of all even though their religion seems a little bat-shit crazy to me.
I have very limited experience with Muslims and I've never met a Scientologist.

I don't care what theists do, just keep your religion out of politics and my life. They refuse to do this, therefore they will continue to get backlash.
Question:
“My question to Christopher is, how you can justify wanting to take something away from people, that gives meaning to 95% of the American people, and replace it with something that gives meaning to just 5% of the American people?”
Christopher Hitchens, "“Ha! Well, what an incredibly stupid question. First I’ve said repeatedly that this stuff cannot be taken away from people, it is their favourite toy (religion) and it will remain so, as Freud said, it will remain that way as long as we’re afraid of death. Which is I think likely to be quite a long time.
Second I hope I’ve made it clear that I’m perfectly happy for people to have these toys and to play with them at home, and hug them to themselves and share them with other people who come round and play with the toys. That’s, absolutely fine. They are not, to make me play with these toys. I will not play with the toys. Don’t bring the toys to my house. Don’t say my children must play with these toys. Don’t say my toys, might be a condom, here we go again, are not allowed by their toys. I’m not going to have any of that. Enough with clerical and religious bullying and intimidation. Is that finally clear? Have I got that across? Thank you.”
In other words, leave your "toys" (religion) in your home and in your church. Don't bring it near me.

I wonder who gives the best head out of these two.
The camel jockey might have great skills but those brows are a boner killer. I got to stick with the pasty one with the scrawny ass in this case.

The Bible is true. The other book is not. Atheist asshats throw the baby out with the bathwater. Craig Titus killing someone doesn't make all bodybuilders murderers, and the existence of false religions doesn't invalidate every religion.
whats true about the bible

I don't care what theists do, just keep your religion out of politics and my life. They refuse to do this, therefore they will continue to get backlash.
Question:
“My question to Christopher is, how you can justify wanting to take something away from people, that gives meaning to 95% of the American people, and replace it with something that gives meaning to just 5% of the American people?”
Christopher Hitchens, "“Ha! Well, what an incredibly stupid question. First I’ve said repeatedly that this stuff cannot be taken away from people, it is their favourite toy (religion) and it will remain so, as Freud said, it will remain that way as long as we’re afraid of death. Which is I think likely to be quite a long time.

I think that may have been the case many years ago. Right now the liberal secularists are the fascists trying to impose their will on the USA and the world. They think anything they don't like needs to disappear from the face of the Earth. They will litigate, legislate and brow beat anything that they don't like or understand.
Where religious people rub me the wrong way is related to abortion and gay marriage. They really need to give that shit a rest. Those are minor issues and in my opinion not at all worth the stink they make about it. They way I see it, if you don't agree with it then don't have buttsex and don't have abortions. Let the rest of the world do their worst. You claim to believe that God is the judge......so let him.
I think tolerance is the answer. Both sides of the political and religious spectrum need to tolerate each other. Live and let live. Worry about yourself and your own shit. Let other people think and do what they want. Be fair.

How does one "seriously" discuss made up nonsense lies, that are the sole root of religion? You believe in bible or koran stories? You might as well believe in stories about Batman, OR Superman!
You forgot another one...Santa Claus.
When anyone tells me a story from the bible, as if it were a fact...I can't even let them finish the story without laughing in their face.
"You know...when Moses parted the Red Sea..." Bhahaha
Sure. That's sounds very legitimate.
Even worse, when the person has some degree of intelligence and still believes the fairy tales they were told as a child. It goes to show...you tell someone something enough from a young age...they'll believe anything.
Imagine if you tried to introduce religion to someone fresh at the age of 30...they would laugh the ridiculous tales.

You're right, anything that violates the separation of church and state should be brow beaten. Once they try to impose their religion elsewhere, people need to fight back. In other words, anything that violates of church and state definitely needs to disappear. I mean, it is in the constitution.
Exactly, they are trying to impose their religious beliefs on gays and women's issues, as well as many, many other issues. And atheists, humanists and secularists have every right to stop it. 400 years ago you were deemed a witch and hung if you spoke out against religion. Now, religion holds no sacred right. I am glad it doesn't.
Its hard to worry about your own shit when there are laws, legislation, and policies constantly trying to be passed based on a book (the bible). What about Texas? Re-writing history books to fit their own religious and historical agenda. Do you really think that is okay? Shit, even other theists stated that it was wrong to re-write history, yet it is constantly trying to be done. This is when atheists get involved.
My stance is this: believe what you want to believe. But leave it out of science and history class (only when it is necessary to discuss). Leave it out of politics. If they do this, no problem. However, they cant help but impose their religion on others, therefore they will continue to get a backlash. Its simple.

I think that if our elected officials actually acted in the interests of the people that elected them, that most of this shit would take care of itself. The majority of the American people are smart and are able to be flexible enough to make changes when something isn't right. It doesn't always happen right away but we figure shit out eventually. The people's will and judgement should be running the United States. Instead it's an elitist club where the new people fall in line with the establishment so they can get their share of the gravy train.

Let me provide you with some anecdotal evidence:
Atheists who come to my front door to try to convert me to atheism: 0
Religious people who ring my door at 8am trying to convert me to their religion: More than I can count
Walking in Times Square in NYC, the amount of atheists groups on corners trying to convert people to atheism: 0

And you actually think atheists are the annoying and preachy ones? Oh brotha. ::)

the big problem with religion and atheism is that they're both arguing something they can't prove.. there is a god/gods, there is no god/gods.
the only people who know are dead. once we can call em up we'll get to the bottom of it.
Most atheists I know are happy to admit you can't prove their is no god, in the same way you can't prove the non-existence of the flying spaghetti monster. The burden of proof is on the person making the wild claims. If I claim their is a teapot halfway between here and the moon orbiting some asteroid, the burden of proof shouldn't be on the person who doubts such dubious claims. What bothers atheists the most is religious people just simply making shit up to fill the gaps in our knowledge.

This will only exist in a perfect world, which will not happen any time soon.
In the mean time, we have to contend with looney theists trying to pass laws based on a book (the bible) that is few thousand years old.
Brilliant.

Yes it's all fiction. Totally made up lies and drug inspired delusions. Read: THE SACRED MUSHROOM AND THE CROSS by John Allegro.
There is mention of the Pharaoh Ramses, you know that dude that was like a brother from a Hebrew mother to Ramses? Well, check it, said Ramses mummy is sitting in a museum in Egypt. So, how can it ALL be fiction, if Ramses body is right there?

When someone creates a fictional lie. Real places and people are mentioned, to give credibility to the lie. The Egyptians kept rather good historical records. They do not mention a Moses, Hebrew slaves, nor them escaping, and nothing about Ramses dying in the Red Sea whilst chasing the escaped Hebrew slaves. The fact is ancient historical records do not agree with the bible at all, and none of the major characters in the bible is mentioned in any other ancient history. The bible is a made up fraud that you are stupid enough to believe in.

There may have been a Ramses, there may have been a Moses. Doesn't prove the supernatural component.

God's word is proof enow. Anyway the remains of the Egyptians that died when the waters closed in upon them have been found on the seabed. You see, you don't know all these amazing secrets, secrets that the secular press has hidden from you. Peer review is largely bullshit (even the Piltdown Man hoax passed peer review for decades). My findings are completely legitimate, and you don't need peer review to know that 1+1=2. Learn to think for yourself instead of blindly believing others.

Oh come on, stop being stupid. All the records from that time, saving Scripture, are gone. In fact the Bible is largely the only history that is left but you are an avowed atheist, and so it is your duty to rankly repudiate rude reality. As to someone creating fiction, that is only your fantasy, your fond atheist fantasy that history, authenticated historical fact, is bullshit. You are yellow, too much of a chickenshit to take your head out of the sand, and to live in the world that actually exists.

Ok, so Ron is a troll, and I bit. It's not that someone can't be that stupid, of course they can. It's just that he's posting on Getbig, and if he was that stupid, he would have died from a loaded barbell crushing his numbskull, before now.

From the story, Ramses had Moses name stricken from record. The Egyptians would do that with people, and even would do that with royalty. They also never really mention when they lose in battle. You have to go to the winning side or a third party for real scoop. Besides, would you carve in stone your losses? You know the saying about "History".
What it is, is that it's easier for people to say "it's all a lie", so that in their mind it comforts them.
And it follows the logic that has been going on. First it was "God doesn't exist", then it was "Jesus never existed". Next, "Moses didn't exist", to "it's all a lie".
And what's funny, is that usually each of these is followed by articles that someone had written, or they heard someone say something, and it gathers steam.
Just the same way things happen with mobs. Humans, we think we are smarter than before , but we constantly prove that we are not.

The bible contains priceless knowledge... ways to salvation..

How did Ramses stricken Moses from the record, when the bible says he died when the Red Sea closed over him and all his men? For that matter if he died in the Red Sea, then how come his mummy is in a Cairo museum, as you admit?

How does pointing out the truth, that everything you say is nonsense, make me a troll? Obviously you are brainless, but parroting me in lieu of offering a rebuttal is taking even your famed atheist idiocy too far. At least come up with your own material instead of melting down and aping your opponents. Monkey see, monkey do! Hahahahahahahahaha.

before that...
And the Bible does not say that Pharaoh died that day, either.
When they started beefing.
And you can go thru history and see that the Egyptian Pharaohs would deface or defile statutes, sphinxes, and hieroglyphs of people that they didn't like, in order to strike them from record.
Some stories hieroglyphs have been "edited" (chipped), and some history is lost.
Some scholars feel that the Pharaoh was Amenhotep II, as he "may" have died in the Red Sea in Psalm 136:15

Tut tut, mong. You atheist addlepates are the ones saying that, interestingly enough. You facelessly pretend that evolution bullcrap is veridic even as you lay into the Koran, the Hindu myths and so on. Amazingly, you go so far as to label the Bible, the very standard-bearer of truth, a fairytale! Quite simply, your views do not comport with reality. Do you trow that the Roman Empire was a fairytale? Do you suppose humans, animals, plants, the sun, the moon, the stars, the sky, the countries of the world, yea, even the Earth itself, are all fairytales? Of course you yet believe, in accordance with "evolutionary theory", that your grandfather was a monkey, and that your cousins are chimpanzees. That unqualified nonsense is indubitable fact to you. Your sublime stupidity defies description.

There's an entire religion board for this stuff.....use it.

When the fuck did christian fundamentalist take over christianity.
Most christians don't take the first testament literally.
Your fucking stupid to take the first testament literally, even more stupid to think most christians actually do.
The bible isn't a legal document, it's a series of stories believed to be influenced by god.
Seriously have any of you even heard of theology are you that fucking stupid?
-
I like much of the conservative values of christian people. But not so much for religion and imaginary people.
Islam is fucked upp all around

Religion ain't going anywhere it's simply gonna up its game.
The next generation of religions are gonna take over.
Enjoy these times, once we get surrounded by religions that science can't debase your truly gonna miss these times.
Seriously wait until philosophy takes over.
It's a direct product of the information age.
Christianity(catholic church) always struggled with the inability of the commoner to understand logic reason and philsophy.
The church always was in conflict with the beliefs that illeterate villagers tried to fixate on(relics etc)
Philosophy will have a much more siginificant effect on civilization over the next century.
Enviromentalism, diversity, feminisism, veganism, social darwinism, etc are just the beginnings of what effects extreme philosophical beliefs will have on society.
REligions based on science and reason are far harder to deal with than a bunch of fairytales

I've got just what the doctor ordered!

LOL, we have an atheist trolling the board as a Christian gimmick riling up the other board atheists (who are drawn to these threads like sharks to blood) and it's entirely possible the trolling Christian gimmick is owned by one of the riled up atheists replying in this thread. ::)
