    Simple answer. Yes.

    Epic necro. In before

    Anyways I for one cannot understand how people can be atheist in times like these when each day we discover so much about the elegant order of the universe.

    Yeah, I just about still agree with 14 year old me.

    This thread reeks of satanic innuendo. Remove all cultural and religious barriers between people. Unite all people in a one big faceless mass in new world order. Then make them all bend their knees to anti religious AntiChrist.

    Okay but so long as I am in charge. If I get chosen we will only practice cannibalism on rainy days just so we have something to do. Though I don't intend on making a habit of it.

    It isn't wrong to be religious. If you think you have existence figured it out, who is someone else to tell you otherwise? Although it is wrong to force your ideology on someone else.

    You cannot figure out existence while you still exist. How can you see while you're inside? Anything you think you figure out is just made-up by yourself.

    Depends on which coordinate frame you choose... I personally prefer spherical polar coordinates centred on a small teapot orbiting one of the outer moons of Uranus - except on Wednesdays.

    It has been said that the teapot and the deity are one in the same.

    It is wrong to be religious, unless you follow Scientology, the one true religion.

    I always thought that revolved around alien possession.

    of course it is not wrong to be religious, to a certain extent. even some atheists recognize that theism is often a necessary phase on the path to discovering atheism, and theists believe the opposite, and they're both correct, as it's a symbiotic relationship. as long as no wills are imposed on others, things generally turn out fine as both paths provide inherent benefits to the individual

    however there is some discussion to be had about fundamentalism and the extremism it brings since belief in Mosaic law overwrites modern laws
