The world will never know peace. How can it? People are too busy enjoying hating each other.

very true words, sadly. religion and politics divide, they don't bring together. I wonder what it was like before they were defined.

Apparently, the religious forum is a place to project or unleash anger. I'm often in there trying to bring everyone to a nice middle ground. Then I'll read a thread that really p***es me off and all of a sudden I'm just as guilty as everyone else. Just as well since when I do post threads that are attempts at peaceful resolution, one of those nice Christians tell me I'm going to hell because I don't quote scripture, therefore I'm not a real Christian. The religious forum is a no win and put on your thicker skin before entering.

Better yet, post a quote from the Old Testament and then go on a three paragraph rant that has no conceivable correaltion to the quote. You'll fit right in.
You make it sound like a scary place to go...
I love scary places

Problem is Marxism became like a religion for people who distrusted religion. Just as Jesus' message of peace and brotherhood inspired the people who carried out the Crusades and the Inquisition, Marx inspired some of the most malevolent dictatorships in history.

It's an issue of pride, people will argue all day over what they heard or read instead of honestly admitting "I just don't know" Isn't that why its called belief because we don't know for sure. We believe because its what seems right and most plausible, if we knew for sure though wouldn't we all be knowing, not believing. I hear alot of talk about science, and its refusal to believe, but I have seen many a scientist say, "We just don't know". I also hear them say quite often in the face of new evidence we have reevaluated our conclusions. Try to get a religionist to say, you know what "I'm just not sure", see what happens then and bring a helmet and pads.
For any human being to say that "I know for sure" is the ultimate act of arrogance, ignorance, and hypocrisy. The very act and basis of faith is built on the notion of not knowing for sure. The very premise of science's search for answers is that we don't know for sure. So why can't we just stop fighting and say what is true, " I just don't know for sure."- 89

because no one believes exactly alike . agreement on the issue is impossible

It's not that scientists don't believe, Scott, they just believe something else. And speaking of science, as ridiculous as the creation myth in Genesis is, I think what keeps so many people believing in it is the utter absurdity of the Big Bang theory. After all, what created the thing that banged so big, anyway?
