| What is Religion?
When engaging in debates, the most common argument is religion. Homosexuality is wrong because God does not like it. We bombed the WTC because God told us to. the list goes on.
Often I try to denounce religion as a point because I do not believe in God. I admit this is a bad thing, but the real question is, what is religion? Who is God? Is the bible a real recount of events, or is it a documentary as authentic as a Micheal Moore movie?
I have my opinions, you have yours, I am not trying to convert anyone, but I want to see what people think. Is the bible real, does god exist, or is it just a myth used to control people or give them hope of an afterlife.
I want opinions from both sides, and I will join in the debate ASAP, I have a lot of good points and theories.
One request: don't say anything like "GOD IS REAL, YOU ARE ALL FOOLS FOR BEING NONBELIEVERS!!!!!' or 'RELIGION IS A MASS OF BS, YOU PEOPLE ARE SHEEP!!!!!' I would appreciate it if we could all get along and present reasons and explanations for our beliefs.
(Kinda surprised there wasn't a post like this already)
