Now you're just trying too hard. How is that being dismissive?

Remember when I brazenly said that I don't respect anyone that believes in the bible or any other holy book?
This is why.

I think you're overlooking my main point. There's so many convos idk who's who but it appears that the one gentlemen has faith in something bigger than himself. I'm not saying he has to believe in god but he said god lacks evidence. But same thing applies to other things that he relies on faith to believe exist. I hope you understood my simple point that many in this thread overlooked. I'm not persuading anyone to believe in my god. I am here for discussion and bringing up interesting viewpoints. Be easy

Name ONE thing I believe in that relies on faith.
I won't "be easy," either. If you post something dumb, you're gonna get called out on it. You're not immune to criticism and neither am I. Either back up your claims or take it on the chin and keep it moving.

Too much extreme. Whether your Christian, atheist, Muslim, rasta, Buddhist or whatever. As long as your higher source teaches charity and taking care of your seeds, then it's all good in my book

Haha, My main point was you have faith in some things that you for a fact haven't seen with your very eyes. The planet was merely an example. Everyone has their own beliefs. Be easy

That should be a baseline level of "goodness." When your belief system also teaches you to treat certain groups (homosexuals, women, etc.) as second-class citizens and holds back scientific progress, then I'm sorry...but we've got beef.Too much extreme.

Just throwing this out there, has anyone ever considered that most major religions may portray god as an *** because they're talking about the devil?

Because you're saying that everyone who doesn't follow YOUR beliefs have been "led astray from the truth." Does that not mean that you think that their beliefs are wrong?
Christianity (to you) = Truth
Believing in something else/ nothing = False
If I go up to someone who follows Hinduism passionately and tell him "Your gods are false!" Am I not being dismissive of their beliefs?

Does that mean I was being dismissive? Do you know what the word dismissive means?
One more time...
I'm done with you. You're just looking to start ****.

You would think after all these centuries, someone passed, went to heaven and came back to tell us of all the greatness there. One day soon enough, I hope mankind experiments and can clearly explain near death hallucination experiments and out of body experiments. The human brain is quite amazing.

Think there's a book and an upcoming movie about this. Heaven Is For Real I think it's called. Don't feel like googling.

There are many stories like this, it's just most people take them with a grain of salt because they're hard to believe. Throne Room Company is a book that comes to mind.

The reason why I prefer to call myself agnostic.
No damn clue. No one has not a single one, don't care what your religion is.

Anyone? I think I quoted one of your posts 360, but it's not specifically for you. Anyone can chime in.

I do know what it means. Not my fault you don't think that telling someone that their beliefs are lies isn't dismissive
dismissive: feeling or showing that something is unworthy of consideration.
You not considering other people's beliefs worthy by saying that they've been led astray and are wrong= dismissive. Educate yourself before you try to act enlightened on NT

Homie, how do you even know that I don't know of their religions? You're speaking to a guy that was brought up being Jehovah's Witness, dabbled in Christianity, kicked it with a bunch of Catholics, and then thought for a long time that Islam was the way. Sit down. You've been dismissed.I do know what it means. Not my fault you don't think that telling someone that their beliefs are lies isn't dismissive

Damn the illiteracy on NT is at an all time high. Who cares what type of @#$% you were into back then, you consider all of them false now, right? If you consider something to be a blatant lie, you're dismissive of it, right? Dismissive doesn't mean that you don't know about something, it means that you don't think it's worthy of consideration. Which is clearly your mindset, seeing that you think that other people's beliefs are false. Thanks for giving me permission to sit down

My bad for the late response, I try not to look down on other beliefs but when I do my research and find contradictions then I question. I'm sure there's Christians Buddhist / what have you people that are far greater in good deeds than myself. I have made countless sins so I cannot look down in I there's no matter what belief. If someone did some significant research on islam and proposed some discrepancies than yes I would take his criticism while heartedly no matter what religion. My belief system always sets to humble yourself. Look at a toddler and think this child had less opportunity to sin than I, look at an elderly person and think to oneself, this person had more opportunity to do good than I. Always humble yourself. If I came off holier than thou (not sure if I spelled that correctly) I apologize.

I know what is a lie because I've studied it, been a part of it, tried to have faith in it, and have been led astray myself. I have first hand experience. This is why I know it to be a lie. I'm sorry why am I wasting my time with you again?Damn the illiteracy on NT is at an all time high. Who cares what type of @#$% you were into back then, you consider all of them false now, right?

My bad for the late response so many people, I am on my iphone.
Alright this may not be the best example but waking up tomorrow. Having faith or hope your eyes open tomorrow and you start your day normally. No doctor, no other human being can tell you if you are going to wake up tomorrow perfectly fine, able bodied what have you. that in a way can be some type of faith or hope or self surety that you wake up tomorrow.
No stats/ average life expectancy data/ chart/ psychic/ person on this planet can guarantee waking up tomorrow let alone breathing in 20 mins. ( god willing everyone does). I'm not sure if that is the best example however that is a form of faith/ hope/ reliance on something out of your control/ something bigger than yourself whether it be god in my opinion or science to others. Faith in something that is never guaranteed.
