Firstly, thank you very much for posting the links. I will read them and I will learneth from thee that has spoken. Thirdly, I is well vexed about what I is witnessed, on the tenth day of April, and alcohol has been thy saviour, for which I apologise, hence forth.

A little education on the old testament required here please. Have you got any links? That should be my signature! :lol: brilliant.

Are you saying that the feeding of the 5000 is proof that he existed?

If you are not stating 'historical events' as facts, then you are teaching, but there are others that are preaching. That's ridiculous. So you accept it is not a belief to disagree with those that believe, but you say that to speak outright suddenly makes it a belief - nonsense. If you believe...

We're talking about whether people are preached to in general, not just on here. But that's not what happens in our society. No - either stop preaching altogether, or if (as is the case) religion is preached, match that with education and atheism. I understand the argument that you're making...

That's a fair point. I'm sure there are several reasons. Most atheists have been preached to for years, and they're getting their own back. The majority of people here don't believe. People are moving away from religion. The atheists are right.

This makes no sense. If everyone stops 'educating' others, then religion dies out. Religion only continues because children are preached to and told there is a god.

Who says we don't accept it gives people direction? Most atheists don't mind others believing. Not all religious aspects are positive though, and there's no reason why we shouldn't try to educate those that believe.

Is it good to hate?

It would, but it's understandable that such things are casualties when religion is debated, as religion has been used so much across the centuries for pure evil. I'm not sure how 'worth' is calculated, but I would say different beliefs (atheist, christianity, islam etc) are worth less - for...

What have the Romans ever done for us

This. Before mid-day? Sheesh, have the morning off. Oh the irony. Indeed. If there was an all powerful god, would he really be so petty as to not let you into heaven because, for no fault of your own, you didn't believe in him? It's pathetic. Indeed. I feel a new poll coming... So why is it that...

It says a lot about humans and how we desperately want to believe that this isn't it. Likewise. Maybe she showed a bit of leg, or her neck or something. Slag.

Ok, the way you worded it ('if anything Mary the mother was raped') suggested you accepted that may have happened. However... her being a dirty slag is not at all far fetched. I believe that is the reality and anyone that doesn't believe in Jesus Chirst, also believes Mary wasn't a virgin...

Yes of course, and many fairly decent people that we all know do cheat, and cheating isn't half as bad a crime as you suggest she may have committed... That is a ludicrous post. I agree that rape might have been the cause (if not, it was voluntary), but I am an atheist. How can someone who...

Christmas?

How so? Jesus's mother, Mary, was the virgin Mary. The Holy Spirit (stud) came upon (in) her?

Exactly. However, whether his mum was a virgin or a naughty slag, is still (bizarrely) debated.
