For The Sake Of Arguement - If God Is Not real, Then Why Are The Skeptics So Restless? [Spirituality & Religion]

@jackieash It is the christians who are the control freaks. Given the chance they'd ban all other religions and require eveyone to pay homage to their god. It's important we don't let them.

@Sharon I know. I've lost count of the times I've seen and heard the religion followers moan about being "persecuted".

@jackieash Yet they're often the ones persecuting non-believers. Hypocrites!

What left feild is this coming from, Sharon, who is trying to get you to join a religion? Certainly not us.

@GodSpeed63 [quote]Certainly not us.[/quote]
What are you doing here then? All you christians do is attempt to lure the unsuspecting into christianity.

Sharing the Truth of God, what are you doing here?

Don't lie. You're just spreading myths and superstitious rubbish. I'm pointing out that fact in the hope I can save others from being deceived.

How can you help them if you, yourself, can't distinguish truth from lie, Sharon?

@GodSpeed63 She's able to spot your lies easily enough although that's not exactly difficult.

Obviously I can and, just as obviously, you can't.

@GodSpeed63 No one is forcing anyone to join a religion. What we're talking about is whether different religions are allowed to proselytize and display their symbols. Are you OK with the Baphomet statue being displayed next to the Ten Commandments at your local courthouse?

Glad to hear it.

@LeopoldBloom [quote]Are you OK with the Baphomet statue being displayed next to the Ten Commandments at your local courthouse?[/quote]
I'd prefer just the Baphomet statue but I'd accept the Ten Commandments and symbols or texts from other religions and philosophies being displayed alongside, just to be fair.

It's not about religion, never has been or ever will be about religion. There is only one God who desires to worship Him through relationship as our Father in Heaven and not through religious practices.

@GodSpeed63 [quote] There is only one God [/quote]
All monotheistic religions say that, they just can't agree on which one it is.

@Lynda70 [quote]I'd prefer just the Baphomet statue [/quote]
👍 That would be my choice too.

@Lynda70 If they displayed symbols from every religion, there wouldn't be room for anything else.

@GodSpeed63 So why do you demand that your God's symbols be displayed at public expense? If you want to worship him, you shouldn't have a need to validate that by forcing everyone else to pay for those symbols.

@LeopoldBloom [quote]So why do you demand that your God's symbols be displayed at public expense?[/quote]

So why do you demand that your God's symbols be taken away or taken down at public expense?

@jackieash [quote]1) No one is offended. 2) No one is trying to ban anything. Period.[/quote]

Where were you when they banned prayer from schools or waving the confederate flag in the Southern States or banning books that they think is offensive in public schools; this includes children's literature?
