A thread like this may already have been made...but I don't see it so I thought I'd make one. Just a simple question...what is your religion? And why so?
Also..please try to keep arguments very limited. I'm not looking to start flame wars here..I am just interested in hearing about why people believe in what they do.
I'm Buddhist-Agnostic-Atheist. I don't believe we have conclusive evidence that there isn't a God but since there's nothing to suggest their existence I'm Atheist. I wish there isn't a deity so that fits in. And it's also good that Buddhism doesn't entail believing in any Gods so that fits snugly too.
well there is more proof of the bible being true than every other religion
Actually there is very little proof of the Bible being true...the only proof of being true the Bible holds is that some events in history somewhat correlate to events in the Bible.
10 plagues of egypt are true. (just not by the reasons the bible gives. but still true)
Well most of them are things that naturally happen, like locusts swarms or disease. But they obviously didn't happen around the same time, or Egypt would have said something about it, and really every other place on earth had similar problems. Except the first born dying, that is definitely BS.
Besides, wouldn't that be "roof" for Judaism, not Christianity, since it is in the Torah?
As a Christian, even I think you're bold stating something like that.
No; read what it is. One religion having more proof than the other? It's a bold statement. Brave; tenacious. Placing their religion on a higher shelf than others is bold. Does a Christian calling out another Christian for what they said deduce to "has no proof"? No. You'd be silly to think something like this.
314d1, it would really be nice if you stopped taking everyone's words to the extreme or out of context.
no it is also in the bible
The Bible is the Old Testament (Parts of the Torah) combined with the New Testament (Gospels + other things).
Since the Bible comes after the two, any 'roof' in the Old Testament only goes for the Torah, as that's where it came from. Also, as someone earlier said in this thread...just because bits and pieces line up doesn't make it true.
well there is more proof of the bible being true than every other religion
Every person is going to think their religion has the most proof, otherwise why would they believe in it?
