Hmmm...this is too theoretical for me but I'll try. The function of a theory is to give a unified system of approach for reoccurring ideas seen throughout various disciplines. Now, in the theory of religion a theory can be described as a unifying idea across all religions or within specific religions. OK, cutie. I think that describes theory in general and I think that describes the different types but, remember, this is a religious discussion so let us stick to religion.

Now, what is theory in religion. That's a tougher question because all religion has a specific source but that source is lost throughout history so then it becomes something, "theoretical," in the absurd. Now, does that make sense cutie.

So, ultimately, we've seen miracles but because of the government medication no one can incorporate it into their theoretical and personal outlooks. I wouldn't be surprised if now you conclude I'm an alien or something, that is what drugs do to you.

Let's start the discussion:
1) How can you be atheist after all the miracles you've seen?

I have never seen a miracle. And in fact no genuine supernatural miracle can be established unambiguously to have ever occurred.

2) Do you think this map (planet) is a game that you cannot escape?

All living things die. Look around an notice that everything that has died is still dead. This includes everyone who lived 2,000 years ago.

3) Ask me any questions you would like.

You believe that a corpse came back to life and then subsequently flew away, off up into the clouds. Why would you believe that just because someone has told you that it is so? You don't believe that Santa has a team of flying reindeer, do you?

It is a very Christian rule: Those who have the gold make the rules.

OP: How can you keep advising to watch Fox news then state you figured no one gets out.
One cannot *get out* if they are *in watching Fox news*


Also, why the push for Fox news?
Do you work for them?
Are you in a commercial in that time frame?


PS: If you use the word *miracle* that in and of itself has Theist written all over it.
You are quite a contradiction in terms.
I'll skip Fox news.

No, this discussion is on a public forum which you cannot regulate who posts a reply and who does not.

So no you don't know what a Theory is and you don't even know that Atheism is not a religion.

Science is the best method we have to explain the world that we live in and the Universe our world exits in...so it belongs in any public forum especially one where science illeratacy is at it's peak.

LOL Theory and Religion don't belong in the same sentence. Perhaps this is why you think it's a tougher question. LOL

You don't know what we've seen. You might see things and call them miracles but don't use your broad brush to paint all of us into that corner. Perhaps what you see as miracles is what others view as simply how the Universe works.

I don't think you're an alien but I do question what drugs your on...or perhaps need to be on.

That's got my vote, unless s/he's just trolling.

Even then....

You are using theory in a mostly colloquial sense, with a poorly understood veneer of the scientific definition overlaid. In other words, you don't make any sense when you speak about theory.

As or the bold portion..... Really?! Do you really think that the government has drugged the population of the country?
