3rd law of thermodynamics. (is it the third law?) - constantly bastardised by the creationists to suit their own ends by removing the most important part of it.
Thank you, Dave Gorman.
Oh and by the way, I'm a Christian before you start.

I had a house mate who said
You can only call yourself Christian if you follow all the rules. If you don't you just believe in God you're not a christian.

What do you say now?
What you've been told to say, or what you truly believe? Did you change your beliefs after you 'used' to say that, or did you not truly believe it in the first place?
Honestly not getting tetchy, I'm just curious as to what changed.

Well i don't live with her anymore so that's why i used to say it.
Myself i'm agnostic. I can't see how one religion can be right and all the others are wrong. I think there may be a God or a higher being. I'm just happy living my life and doing what i think is right and if it means theres a chance i'll go to hell for it. I'm happy with that.
I fully respect people who have faith and often talk about religion with them. So I don't think you're being tetchy.
p.s. can i be in your crew?

That's fair enough
I can see both sides of the coin as it were- I wasn't born Christian so coming to terms with my faith took a long while and a LOT of thinking!
It's nice to have a grown up conversation about it, I must say.
You can, if you can think of a good title for yourself.

^I pretty much agree with this
I'm a vague Christian, I am also a scientist. I'm perfectly happy to argue with morons on either side of the argument.
Personally, I think that the people who are violently anti-religion are probably scared that God does exist and the people who are violently anti- any sort of discussion about science explaining how God's Universe works are probably scared that He doesn't exist.

I think that makes a lot of sense
and seems as we're having this discussion, for my two bits I struggle to see or feel a divine presence in anything... and I also think religion gets used (by certain people) to stop people asking questions about things, which I don't think is a good thing.

True
I'm not a fan of big organised religions. People are unfoortunately subject to human nature so anything that can influence people will be used by the unscrupulous to advance themselves. Religion is just one of these things, as are money, land, food etc.

Judge not, lest ye be judged.
As far as I'm concerned most of the bible was written by men, and men are subject or bias etc. I go with what feels right, and try to live my life in as altruistic a way as I can. That's what I consider important in being of this faith- treating everyone with love and respect.

that's the point innt
exactly the point
people that presume to speak gods will unto those who must be educated/saved etc
wonder what the odds are of space in hell for such hubris
and I'm sure that jesus would metaphorically kick these people's arses

Couldn't agree more
Just reading through Leviticus, it's obviously written by some mad, bitter old priest with a chip on his shoulder about owls (amongst other things)

You'll let gOD judge you?
Wait, you're going to let that useless narcissistic twat who likes to torture people in hell for all eternity just cause they farted in a lift one too many times determine the eternity of your afterlife?
Great, you spend the whole of your life abiding by dumb and pointless commandments about pigs and stuff while he constantly zaps shit with lightning and buries people in earthquakes, just to get to heaven where you have to spend the rest of eternity with Jerry Falwell and a load of cross-eyed homophobics.
I choose hell.

Hmm
Out of interest, why would you trust Jesus to be your saviour if you can't trust him as your creator? Why would you believe him when he tells you of eternal life when you believe he's lying to you about our origins? (read John 3:12)

Because I have a right to my own opinion- Jesus had that too.
And no matter what happens, I will love God in my own way, without dogmatism or prejudice.

Jesus's opinion was God's opinion
Being the same person and all! So you are saying that your opinion is more important than that of a perfect God - are you elevating yourself to a higher status of understanding than God himself? How could you love a God when you look down on him like that? I am glad that you love God, but I don't understand why you would. If his perfect Word is so pick-and-mix, why would you be inclined to believe any of it in the first place? I wouldn't like to love your mistake-making, deceiving god at all :(
