What if we all gave religious debate a break for a while?
Imagine, if for one year, instead of arguing over the details of three books, we put all that mental energy in to solving problems here on earth. Like poverty, disease and environmental degradation.
It would be an amazing thing. If God is our father, an act like that would make me a proud father.

Yes. For me, it's either this or developing a cure for cancer.

Your living in a dream. The people who got the money make too much money off war to let us have peace. They have a plan and will see it through. They think they have it all but will end up in Hell. There are 2 ways to fight them. You can go political and get shot like JFK. Or you can become a real Christian and live your life trying to help others.

Honestly, that has already happened. That is why we argue, God has been removed already. That is why we have war. God has been removed. That is why bad choices are made, God has been removed. That is why we judge, God has been removed. Lets focus on putting him our lives and in total control, then these discussions we have would be over how grateful we are to have a Loving God that provides for us and Loves us with all his heart.

Good idea. Religious debates are rarely useful and should be avoided in most cases.
You can use your computer to help humanity. Go to worldcommunitygrid.org: it's a distributed computing projects that runs science projects on your computer that help scientists design better drugs for cancer, AIDS, etc.

Debate is an interesting, intellectual exercise and when done properly shows a respect for others beliefs.

but it's easier to pray someone else does the work, so we can still feel like we helped... all the way from the comfort of our homes.... or to yell at those praying about how they should get off their knees and actually do something, so we can ignore the fact that we aren't taking our own advice.

I hear you. Let's all agree to disagree .If we don't like something that someone else is saying we just respect their right to say it. Interact with love without compromising principles.Thank you for the suggestion.

If a god is our father then he's late on the child support.

That's a great idea, but let's do it right..
Put away atheism since religion is the number one fighter of ignorance, disease and poverty.

Yeah, good idea.
I'll start doing that just as soon as I wash off what that flying pig dropped on my car.
