This is a normal post Bollocks
Sorry, I know we've had this discussion before, but still, I can't let that pass. How is 'There is probably no god, so stop worrying and enjoy your life' even comparable to the statements of fundamentalist religious nutters? When did Richard Dawkins advocate killing people who disagreed with him or blasphemed against the sacred word of Darwin? Get some perspective.

This is a normal post You misunderstand me.
I am not saying that it does, however, I have never read a religious text that does sanction or advocate murder. That is down to the interpretation of certain people for their own ends. The point I was trying to make was that a fundamental discounting of anyones beliefs, either way, serves no purpose.

This is a normal post If it's all based on interpretation and peoples own agendas
then how can the word be relied upon?

This is a normal post I'm not saying it can be relied upon.
But that is the nature of humanity, no matter who put it here....

This is a normal post not true
clearly the bible has too many metaphors and hyperbole than any factual story

This is a normal post I just think there's a big disparity between the views
Atheists generally believe there is no god because there is no evidence to suggest that there is one. It's easy to suggest examples of hypothetical evidence which, should it appear, would change their mind (cf my post above, but also Haldane's 'Fossil rabbits in the Precambrian').

Religious people believe despite the lack of evidence, and there is no evidence that you can suggest that would make them change their view (indeed, the whole 'virtue' of faith is that it is maintained despite the lack of evidence)

This is a normal post Well of course there is.
However, the point of faith is just that.
