...get tired of debating on religion, and never come to any understanding. I'm one of the most passionate debaters on here (at least i feel it that way), but honestly I feel so tired. It's always going and going in circles without an ending. I need a little bit of time off.

I got tired of the circles a while ago and just gave up posting. Every attempt at discussion of any item seems to turn into bashing by the majority of posters. The agnostic/atheist posters seem to only be able to bash the christians, and the christians seem to denigrate into bashers equally vociferously. If one group wishes to talk about a topic, the other just cannot keep themselves from attacking their thoughts and words. I decided most posters on this forum were just a bunch of close minded nincompoofs, and not even worth my time to read most of the posts. Just my one and a half cents worth.

If you think about it, religion is nothing more than "who has the biggest imaginary friend ..."?

You feel passionately about your beliefs and this forum isn't a game to you. You are one of the few who isn't here to offend or waste time. Enjoy your time off.

Why can't people just be happy with their beliefs? Why do they have to go around trying to convince others? Why do they hold on so tightly? Why are they afraid of asking the hard questions? What if everybody is completely wrong? JB

I have some mind altering acacia trees to chew on to talk to a burning bush! Although the idea of a hot bush could be taken in a couple of ways! (especially if you are a warped Englishman)

What if we have asked ourselves the hard questions and found our faith to still be standing? Why doesn't have possiblity even exist in your mind? That possibility doesn't hold water as far as I'm concerned. I've given my reasons on these forums and no one has yet to address them. Every time I give my reasons people use every tactic in the book to cause distractions and avoid the real issues. The bottom line is really quite simple. The biblical story is supposedly about an all-powerful, all-loving, all-wise, all-perfect God, yet everything in the book flies in the face of these premises. God's heaven is supposed to be 'perfect' yet his angels didn't think so. God is supposed to be all-wise, yet he couldn't figure out how to solve the problem to make everyone happy. God is supposed to be all-loving, yet instead of intervening early on, he waits until the whole planet is corrupt and then this supposedly all-loving God drowns everyone. This supposedly all-powerful God who can cure cancer in people had to drown out the sinners? He couldn’t just have given them heart attacks??? This God is supposed to be able to do anything, yet he cannot forgive sin without a blood sacrifice? He cannot look upon, sin either. There are so many holes in this story that it could be used as a sieve. People want to focus on Jesus as God, but even that flies in the face of what the original God of this religion had commanded. Jesus cannot be the God of Abraham. Period. And even if he could be, then why bother praising Jesus? Why not praise the original God? The whole story is an oxymoron. Nope. It’s not something that I would even give the slightest possibility. It can’t possibly be true, whist maintaining it’s original premise that God is all-powerful, all-loving, all-wise, and all-perfect. Something’s got to give. Either the story is false, or the God isn’t all-powerful, all-wise, all-loving, and all-perfect. It’s as simple as that. Take your choice.

And yes, there are more than one of them. Otherwise why would they be jealous and make rules that "thou shall not have any other gods before me." JB
