Let's face it - man is simply a very complex machine with DNA the instruction code! Now if man was created by God, then that makes God the original geek! And I therefore assume that he has called his one son home - Steve Jobs that is!
OK so I know this is anti-religious and all that - but I'm tired of seeing religious people making statements of facts, whereas there simply is no way for any of us to know the truth or the fact - I have nothing wrong with people making statements of faith - and I respect their faith and their opinion...
I am agnostic and I am proud - I admit that I could be totally wrong about God - I've never seen one religious person say that there is even a remote possibility of being wrong.
Now let's see, there are how many religions - oooh, someone has to be wrong somewhere don't they, they can't all be fact...
OK rant over....
I don't think what you wrote was particularly anti-religious. It didn't offend me, anyway. I recently got a rude comment posted on one of my hubs. I wrote about the bible as a piece of literature and the hubber posted a pretty long, unkind comment which stated that he "shot down every point" I was trying to make in my hub. I had to explain to him that I was a believer too and that I was not trying to offend.
He apologized after he actually read my hub and I explained it to him, but although I think the way he reacted was inappropriate and simply rude, I approved the comment because he should be entitled to say what he wants (even if it is rude). I think we all need to accept our own truths as OUR OWN and be able to share them with the public without being "shot down."
Yeah, not everyone can be right, but I think the point of religion isn't how it all started or where it all ends. I think it's about having a belief system that allows you to live life fulfilled and in a way that keeps you alive. I hope I didn't rant to long...
Skyfire...what? The problem with these religious debates is that both sides think the other is stupid or unjustified. The image you posted only pushes both sides further apart. We should respect others' beliefs and not try to debate who is right or wrong.

There be many religious people here that have threatened us with the world ending. They tell us that we need to repent and some use these as scare tactics. They seem to think that the Bible tells us the "signs" that the world will end. There has been posted somewnere on...

Are we born with original sin? I do not think so. Correct me if I am wrong.We have the Council of Nicea. We have Augustine and we have Paul. Some claim Adam and Eve sealed the sin deal for every wonderful beautiful baby born. If you wanted to you could show some interesting notions regarding...

I believe that so many children would grow up smarter and having a better intillecual veiw on the world if society didn't shove religion down their throtes. There are many good religious people who are smart, but if someone doesn't want to believe then it should be their choice. This whole...

Have you ever voted someone's hub, comment, or answer down simply because you didn't like them?Come on. Be honest. I see many legitimate answers being voted down, possibly on the basis that the voter did not agree with the answer. Voting is meant to indicate whether or not an answer was useful, not...

Have you encountered a not-so-friendly hubber? How did you deal with him/her?I know there are a lot of awesome people here. But there are still times when we encounter hubbers who are a bit rude. What's your experience?

~ Why do you need to follow any religion? ~I am just curious as to why people need to, or choose wanting to believe in, follow, and participate in any religious affiliation? What drive people to believe in their religions? Is it simply because of tradition, upbringing, or an actual spiritual...
