Psychology is the STUDY of human behavior.  To put this at its very basic root fundumentals so that even SOB could understand it,(and I won't have to type out 3 pages) lets take a look at the Dog Bark Analysis. :D

A "typical" dog barks when approached by stranger.  Why?  Study's show that it is because of fear.  Fear is a direct result of being insecure or not being sure that you are prepared to deal with the pending situation...uncertainty.  I like to compare that to a few on this board (and others I've visited over the years) that show "barking dogs" posting stuff that is intended to dismiss religious theories.  

I'm not a religious person by the definition, but I am a God-fearing individual that doesn't believe in the Bible's "story", but I am confident enough of my own beliefs that make it unnecessary to constantly attack those who have a different belief.  Nope, I don't bark. :)

You know, you're right about the "simple stories written by mortal men." Maybe we shouldn't believe in the Bible.
BTW, what if some of us don't feel a need to be "saved"?

I dont really care about that.

What bothers me is when some people latch on to something so hard and refuse to let go, in a way that it harms the advancement of technology. All the scientific evidence is there showing you that evolution is a fact, but most still refuse to believe it because they are so insecure about their beliefs that anything that threatens their simple to understand dribble to fill a void in the mind and make you believe you have the answers has to be wrong.

I know many christian scientists. Hell I know PRIESTS who also dedicate themselves to science. When I talk to them about these subjects they explain to me that when your faith in God is so strong, any scientific revelation is not evidence AGAINST GOD, on the contrary, it more strongly reaffirms their belief that there must BE a God.

Hell, the only reason the Christian Church adopted the Big Bang theory as "Official" is because it could be bent to fit the belief of creation. Fine by me.

Did you know that this same paranoia and denial of advancement is what lead to the dark ages, where scientists who where studying things that would have been amazing breakthroughs where burned or jailed.
Not only that, but hardcore theists, many of orders similar to the Templars, would raid Muslim/Hindu cities only to burn libraries, univercities and centers of learning, and killing scholars, just because they thought that what they where studying and finding was a threat to their faith.

The burning of the library of Alexandria is believed to have set back technology and civilization about 2,000 years.

I find this paranoia and fear of anything related to science/philosophy to be absurd and against everything that a benevolent supreme being would want its followers to do.

Get with the times. Science is not an enemy of religion. On the others hand, ignorance is an enemy to humanity.


Kudos  S!

Rip, can you post some examples of the "casting stones" you're talking about? Are these atheists posting things about persecuting or killing those that believe in God or religion?

Do a search on any religious topic on this board, always initiated by an atheist.  And, its not just limited to this OT forum.  Do a search for "religion" under any OT forum on any UBB.  99% are initiated by atheists.  They insecure (the ones who start the posts)  thats the bottom line. :)

The bottom line of all this arguing over beliefs is it is silly. For those that do believe in a God and heaven, do you REALLY want your heaven inhabited with some "lefty-liberals"? :D
For those that do not believe in God, does it really matter that there are those that do believe?
Why don't we just make a deal that we respect each other not for what we believe in but for how we treat each other. Ultimately it is our treatment of others that determines the quality of life.

For the record of MY beliefs for ME. I was born, I am living, and someday I will die. The End. No afterlife. Yes, I am an Atheist. I do not belive in God/devine intervention.  Does that make me any more or less enlightened than those that do believe in God/religion? Absolutely not. If others truly believe in God and feel they have the answers to satisfy them, so be it.

I am taking it that you mean when an atheist posts something that they feel validates their postion that it is "casting stones"?
I thought when you said "casting stones" you meant attacking or insulting.

No, having to announce on a public BBS that you think their religion is BS is, well...

Insulting others and saying their beliefs are BS is in poor taste. Sorry Rip, but from what I've seen, the Atheists don't have the market cornered on that one. I've seen that from all sides. LOL
