So I was thinking a few day ago about all the religions that died out because they worshiped the sun, and I'm curious if you think Christianity will do the same due to its outdated beliefs (well to be exact Jesus is the sun, and Christianity also has roots in astronomy but whatever).
if you dont agree with the pope, u cant be part of what he rules.
Funny. Last I heard you stopped agreeing with the pope during "Vatican II" and no longer believe he's the real pope.
I'm not going to address all of the offtopic stuffs.
My point is still standing. Why would anyone believe in something that he/she also believes will fade with time?
This is beside the point Nilo. Individual people may think it's true, and they may never stop believing it's true. However, this doesn't mean a religion cannot die out - their descendants might not believe.
People won't believe in something that they don't believe is true, sure enough. However, one can be wise enough to realize that it's not just them that a question like this is pertaining to.
Don't patronize me, im not stupid, i just have trouble finding things thst arent .com
Check the sourcing that the site uses. Sometimes .com's are summarizations of an .edu or .gov
I agree, but he's not defending his faith, he's attacking it, and saying it wont last.
Not quite. He is stating his faith will last (as in he will believe in his religion), but he is being realistic in recognizing that not everyone will believe in what he believes.
And these examples you're giving are strictly through migration/war. It's not domestic, like the French Revolution.
I fail to see how it not being domestic changes the act
The crusades was a war to take back what was theirs. It wasn't murdering people in you own society because they didnt believe what u did.
And if we were to talk to someone of Islamic faith they would say it was theirs. I also fail to see why the Seljuk Turks needed to be slaughtered.
And again, I don't see how the action is different just because you aren't doing it domestically.
Slavery wasn't thought to be wrong back then. You guys keep saying things were different back then, well, there's one way.
As Emp pointed out, it was different times back then, yes, but if we were toi strictly follow the Bible then it should still be ok today.
2) I think you are failing the biggest part there. The woman is having to marry her rapist and she can't leave him, lest she wants her father to stone her.

As Emp stated, I do believe it might be time for a Atheism v Theism thread revival...
Who says she's unwilling. It's quite fair because it wont cause problems if she has a baby and that baby will need two parents.
Single parents exist KnightDeclan
You don't get it bro. I dont make those rules! The pope did, and if you don't agree with the pope, u cant be part of what he rules.
(In my head it sounds like you r whining XD)It is sounding like you make those rules anyway pickpocket is being realistic so what your saying is being realistic means disagreeing with the pope?
Rape?! Who said rape. In the first bibles, non-modern revisions, it says, 'He that lay with her shall give to the father of the maid fifty sides of silver, and shall have her to wife, because he hath humbled her: he may not put her away all the days of his life.
That should've been Deuteronomy 22:28-29. 28 clarifies that if the man "lay hold on her..."
1. Because non-religious people aren't exactly dying to become Christian. 2. Why would a new civilization believe in the religions of old? 3. I don't think it will die out completely, however it is very possible that something overtakes it. 4. I am simply accepting the inevitable, that does not alter my beliefs.
1. In 7/10 cases, it's because they haven't been shown Christianity yet. 2. Civilisations stopped existing thousands of years ago. Deal with it. 3. Please elaborate... 4. No. The only thing that is inevitable in this world is that everyone will die. That's it.
And besides... everything fades in time, nilo. That was deep.
No.
Time crumbles things, everything grows old and is forgotten under the power of time.
1. In 7/10 cases, it's because they haven't been shown Christianity yet.
Source for this. In my experience, people are usually quite unwilling to shift from their current beliefs. I also don't see why Christianity would be any more likely to convert someone than any other given religion.
That should've been Deuteronomy 22:28-29. 28 clarifies that if the man "lay hold on her..."
Still waiting on why these rules don't apply now.
Ugh, this is the ORIGINAL bible quote. Again, not a new, protestant one. http://www.biblestudytools.com/rhe/deuteronomy/passage.aspx?q=deuteronomy+22:13;deuteronomy+22:19;deuteronomy+22:28-29
