tomcatwarne: And some of us remember the many years before that the age old argument has raged some members becoming so emotional they got themselves banned from CS forever, Trish springs to mind.
AS long as there remains a conflict in peoples minds there will be a need to discuss this question. In my opinion it should not be dummed down. It partly addresses the age old question WHY.
Let the discussion continue, f not now, tomorrow or next week or next year.
So tell me what was the point of arguing to the extent whereby they HAVE to prove that they are RIGHT. Seen it so many times on here and on other Forums. A waste of time and energy when there are more important things to worry about other that whether religions are to be believed.
We only have one shot at life and man's inhumanity to his fellow man reaches far beyond these Forums.
Perhaps if we tried to have a better understanding of other people's feelings, it might help ,instead of putting them down for whatever their belief or non belief happens to be.
If people have conflict then there is surely doubt. Something you might consider in your determination to see people argue so vehemently about something that they actually have no control over.
elektrikradiance: go to egypt.. ask to see the black sea scrolls.. there you will have your proof that God really exists.
Yeah,right! First up,they are the Dead-Sea-Scrolls,and all they do is prove that later Translations were more or less correct! No Supernatural Proof in any of them!

Indeed, the discussion should and will always continue....
But just to point out, Trish was not banned because of her relentless pursuit of the 'god squad'. Whenever she took them on she always stated her point of view and produced many interesting and informative posts without resorting to name calling or insulting behaviour. She would lock horns regularly with MikeHD for one on the subject, but remained good friends The ban was for other reasons, in fact she still has her profile on here, but when she tries to post in the forums, she still gets the message...
"you cannot post in the forums for a period of one to two weeks."

And that was dated Feb 2nd 2011.
There is a huge difference between discussing a particular subject and trying to thrust one's opinions down another's throat don't you think.
The age-old, timeless question that continues its onset of arguitive beliefs and disbeliefs for truth, until the day it is finally asked of and unto the one who's been asking it themselves.

The God I know, never forgave me for anything, HE/SHE/IT NEVER held anything against me. It created me human. He does not get his feelings hurt. She does not get angry. Or require my foreskin,,,,
..god....well..?????......but the good,ness in your heart..towards your fellow being.....that's where it is at,,,,within.you........you can only reap what you sow......some people would give you the skirt off their own backs.....where as others would steal it......how do you see your self.....????..jmo.

Thanks to you guys for putting the record straight, although I knew Trish I was on one of my journeys at the time Trish left, i obviously got the wrong end of the stick. My apologies.
