[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ultra Magnus: [QB] >>Take atheism. Okay. What do I do with it? >>Atheists believe that there are no gods. Correct. You're on a roll! [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG] >>Therefore, they believe that the evidence that supports their beliefs is 100% positively true... As do people who worship Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha, Mike Tyson. You can't not have faith without believing in your evidence. You can't sit on the fence, and say "yeah, well, okay God exists, exept when it comes to Adam & Eve, because then..." That just doesn't work. >>and that all the other beliefs and religions in the world are wrong. And how does any other organized religion in the world differ from this? Christians believe that Judaism is 'wrong', right? For they have no Jesus. Am I correct? I think 'Brand X' is the best detergent. This is my belief. I think all evidence points towards 'yes', else how could I think otherwise? If you say that it is not, I will think you're wrong, but I probably won't go and say "Yes, it's the best detergent. I know this, and you know this. If you don't think this, it's because you're too stubborn to think otherwise." We are all allowed to use our own detergent, and not be harrased for using our favorite kind. The issue here is not wether or not one believes in his/her/its to the extent that everything else is 'wrong', because given the nature of our decision making, we all do this. The issue is wether or not one should go about spewing his/her/its belief system as a fact and forcing it on those who don't share them. [QUOTE]Well, ya know, there IS evidence. You're just unwilling to see it. Or rather, you can't SEE it. But hey, I can only ram things down your throat when YOU think I'm doing it.[/QUOTE] I'm unwilling to see it, am I? Why am I unwilling, because I don't believe in it? If I did, I'm sure I'd be enlightened, I suppose? I Can't/Won't/am Unwilling to see the 'FACTS' only because you and I don't share the same belief system. I could, if I wanted to, go on & on & on about [i]my[/i] faith, and when countered with opposition say that the reason that my opposition doesn't agree is because they're 'unwilling' to see the "TRUTH". Instead, I just keep it to myself, because A) I don't care wether or not you share the same ideologies as I, and B) I respect your right to value your own ideals. So I won't go and force feed you my way , so I see [i]absolutely no need[/i] for you to do it to me. [/QB][/QUOTE]
