List of religious forums

[viocjit]

My goal is to create a list who contain religious forums because I think that this is necessary for those who will debate with the believers. Also I think that read these forums can be funny.

Here is a Deism Forum: //http://www.positivedeism.com/phpbb2/index.php?sid=dd470b44789af55178df78df7e489cc1

I think it would be best to stay on the freethinkers board there, as you will be more welcome.

ahh damn i took a look at the Christian forum, and wow, its like entering a different world where everyone acts like they are in a fairy tale. I had to resist the desire to make an account just to flame everyone on that forum.

[Eric1958]

I took a look around some of these forums. It was rather interesting, I noticed some in depth discussions about evolution. But the main idea was that "even creationists believe in microevolution, where plants and animals make small changes to adapt to their environment. But not macroevolution, where species change into new species over millions of years".

Of course they have to believe that since the small changes are visible to us. I'm sure if they weren't so obvious that they'd be denying even that much.

When I was a kid, say around the age of 8, I remember asking my dad why we believed the bible to be true. His answer was that it was written long, long ago and and took a lot of effort to produce. That because it took so much effort, the people writing it wouldn't lie or just tell stories. Even then I thought it was a rather weak argument. Later on, in high school, I was a Christian, my best friend was christian and we hung out with other Christians. In discussing the bible my friends would say that the bible is the word of God and is infallible. I would point out that it had been transcribed by people and translated by people. Obviously it wasn't infallible because we had different bibles now that conflict with each other. But the counter argument would be that God was guiding the translation to keep it infallible.

You can't win an argument with someone who takes their holy book to be the final word from God. If you point out that the story of Noahs arc is completely batshit crazy and so illogical and physically impossible, they will use the craziest logic to try and explain it.

It's perfectly fine with me if you want to believe in God, but please quit trying to say that the bible was written by God and is infallible.

Anybody who would use a list of religious forums to go "debate" in them must have a lot of time on their hands they feel like wasting, ie. shitting down the toilet.

Arguing with religious people is almost completely futile, considering logic is lost on them because they believe what they do in the first place. People believe whatever they want to believe, and it's a natural human impulse to believe you're stubbornly right. People will use ANY "evidence" that matches their preconceived notions to reinforce their beliefs.

You have to let these people choose logic on their own time. Trying to force them out of their delusions is such an utter waste of time that I'm having a hard time using a metaphor to describe it because it's so futile and pointless.

Ring species make a good counterargument to that.  In any small distance, the change is minute, sometimes not even visible to us, but from one end of the ring to the other the change is great enough for the 2 end species to be different.

Very weak, and applicable to all holy books until the 15th century.  I assume your father didn't worship Ra and the other Egyptian gods - the ones the Egyptians wouldn't lie about, since making papyrus took so much effort.

You can also make the argument that a St. Bernard and a chihuahua would be different species - they can't interbreed - but because all the intermediates exist then they are considered to be of the same species. Note: Humans and chimpanzees would also be considered as the same species IF all the intermediate exist. Of course, the reason is that humans and chimpanzee diverge millions of years ago, and during that time, all the intermediates became instinct. But for the St.Bernard and chihuahua, that took place in a relative time of a few thousands of years. Anyhoo, such subtleties would go beyond the IQ of those YEC's and creationists.

[MrsSassyPants]

They really are in a fantasy world.  Have you noticed that when they are really feeling moved by the lord, their speech changes to King James...thou, shall, begat, all kinds of stupid words that probably never made sense.

[ApostateLois]

The few times I've been to religious forums convinces me that these people are living in a dream world, where invisible beings lurk around every corner and magic is real. Some of them have entire forums dedicated to prayer requests, as if praying works better when you can get several hundred or more people doing it at the same time. Is God more likely to grant your wish if you get all your online friends to shout it at him all day? They put credence in the babbling of preachers such as Pat Robertson. They talk about the evils of homosexuality and lack of school prayer. When they talk about evolution, it's like listening to little children talk about something that they don't quite understand, such as sex. And when Christians talk about sex, you can tell just how completely dysfunctional and out of touch with reality they truly are.

You can also make the argument that a St. Bernard and a chihuahua would be different species - they can't interbreed - but because all the intermediates exist then they are considered to be of the same species.

But they CAN interbreed. They are dogs of the same species. If a male chihuahua were determined enough, it could probably find a way to mate with a much bigger dog, or would at least make the effort. Species separation isn't just about size and the ability to mate. Wolves and dogs are different species, but they CAN interbreed and produce fertile offspring. So can wolves and coyotes, or coyotes and dogs. Zebras, horses, and donkeys can mate and produce offspring, but they will be infertile. This is one of the reasons Christians sound like morons when they talk about "kinds" of animals in the biblical sense. What could that possibly mean? Are dogs, wolves, and coyotes all one "kind" because they can produce fertile offspring? Are horses, zebras, and donkeys separate "kinds" because they can't?

Looks like a topic which would fit right in on an Deist forum.

[Savior2006]

Ah ChristiansForums. Always a pleasure. And by pleasure, I mean idiots with their heads up their asses on the political forum. Nothing like an ignorant white fucktard telling me that calling Obama a monkey isn't racist.

[ApostateLois]

Just reading the stuff here can start me thinking that now would be a good time for that giant space rock to crash into the planet and render the human species extinct.  :-?

[The Whit]

There's enough ignorance on these boards to keep me from diving into the ocean of ignorance that is the religious.

The Carm website is terrible**Read the Atheism stuff--
