Why do you post on the Religion Board?
« on: February 06, 2008, 07:03:34 AM »
Do you feel you have a conscious motive(s) for posting here?

If so, what is it/are they?

I'm an evangelical Atheist, we can't rest until we have spread the Good News to all the nations ;)

No, seriously, I like a well-thought out argument. I enjoy discussing religion with loco.

But one thing that pisses me off is the appalling ignorance of science (no offense to anyone) that goes around on here. I feel like an exasperated science teacher at times.

But the reason I stick around is to talk religion, not science. I talk science elsewhere.

Why did you feel stabbed in the back ATHEIST?  And you may have already told us (sorry if I forgot) but what kind of religious school did you attend?  Was it a specific denomination?

Because my posts in other getbig boards kept getting moved to the General Topics board, until this board was created.    ;D

First I thought I would post here to teach others about the Bible and about Jesus, and to give a reason for the hope that is in me, but I ended up being thought a lot by others here.  I have learned a lot here from all, Christians, non-Christian theists and atheists alike.  

Some atheists here know the Bible, sadly better than many Christians I know.  Other atheists here don't really know the Bible as much as they say they do, but they do post some interesting stuff they copy and paste from skeptic websites who do know the Bible.

Another reason I keep posting here is to dispel some misinformation and flat out lies about the Bible, Jesus and Christianity.  Some people post these to intentionally deceive others, while other people post these simply because they read it or heard it elsewhere and they just don't know any better.

Religion is necessary. 

But I have to admit, I find that others literal belief in an organized religion's mythology still fascinates me.

As far as I know, young earth creationists, old earth creationists, Intelligent Design proponents, etc. are not lying about science.  They really believe their theories and hypothesis, even if main stream science disagrees and calls it pseudoscience.  Lying about science to push an agenda is not cool, by either creationists or evolutionists.

If you feel like they are lying, I leave it up to you to expose them.

Now, why don't you guys feel the same way when somebody here lies about the Bible, Jesus or Christianity, and you know they are lying?

Evolution is an established scientific fact. The Bible is a poorly told mass of cobbled together tales, largely fictional with some vague historical twist to it. There is a difference.
