Ya know...you shoulda just stuck with the you were done, part. You would have done a much better job of not making yourself look stupid.Dude. YOU follow a religion. Allow me to demonstrate. Do you:
If you answered yes to the majority of these questions, I hate to break it to you, Sparky, but you follow a religion.
- worship a god that cannot be detected by scientific methods?
- have a holy book in which your god tells you how to live?
- have an after-life where you will be judged according to your beliefs, actions and life choices?
- Believe that by being born into this world you were somehow infected with a disease called "sin", and that only your particular god is able to rescue you from this mortal condition?
- reject all other gods as being false, with only your god being worthy of worship and adoration?
- pray to your god?
- believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that it was your god who created the entire universe?
- have faith that your particular holy book is the only one in which the written accounts can be trusted completely, and contains the will of your god?
- attend regular gatherings arranged and led by experts of your particular belief system?
- think it's possible to know exactly what your god's purpose is for your life, even though you cannot prove he exists?
- value having a "strong faith" above what can be learned from science and empirical observation and utilising logic and reason? (Before you insist "no" to this one, I will direct your attention back to "Jesus LITERALLY rose from the dead", then apply that to what science, empirical observation, logic, and reason have to say about the probability of that being possible, and then answer this question.)
I never claimed that Christianity is not a religion. You really do have a pattern of putting words in people's mouth's or misunderstanding what people are saying. It makes it difficult to have a discussion with you.
He's already arguing original sin, etc ...
like talking down a cutter.
