Ok, I'm not going to argue about what you just said, but could equally ask question. Do you believe in Big Bang Theory (I'm not talking about evolution here on Earth, or any other world for that matter, I'm talking about how supposedly all matter in universe, and possibly other universes, literally came from nothing at all, or possibly one or so square inch superdense cluster of material that over last 14 or 15 billion years has spread out into the megavoids of space)? Even from an atheist point of view, I could as easily believe some type of supernatural being created, or at least started the process as I could everything came from pure nothingness of teeny tiny condensed material cluster.

Remember: The purpose of religion is to control its followers.

How did humans come about? religion can not answer that question, because religion does not do any investigation in that area, that should be left to science to figure out. So why does religion wants have something to say about it? Because religion wants to say: "God did it, so get down on your knees and pray" -- to control.

Does religion answers other question it shouldn't? yes. All the question not related to religion itself should not be answered by religion: human society moral standards, earth-sun, human relationships, love, hate ... nothing of those should be answered by religion. Because, religion does not research, investigate in any of those.

But why does religion wants to answer everything? Like I mentioned above, religion wants to say "God did it, so pray for God". Religion is all about controlling followers using a fake "omnipotent" God.

Depends on the religion, I suppose. I'm pretty sure not all religions are that nasty

Back in the day there were humans and they all where fighting about who was right or wrong about god yes god is real but the humans all wrote there stories about who he was and fought about it christian was one that came out on top. The bible and all religious books are fake they are stories on how the humans think. Yes god is real but not in the way you think, all you atheists say god is not real well he is but religion is fake,you cannot explain anything without a God. Just think about it how do humans have all the emotions they do and the ability to interpret and create a society, then think about space its so infinte with probably millions of other life forms everywhere no matter what you say or do atheists God is real and you cannot argue that.

Well...after all, he IS a "SuperSmartGuy"...so I guess he must be right.

No point for this forum to exist now.

Of course we can argue that. What YOU can't do is say..'God is real, oh yes he is' and expect everyone to accept it without supporting that with verifiable evidence. Can you do that?

And of course anyone writing a novel can "fulfill" the prophecies laid out in book 1, with some clever writing in book 2. Not too difficult! Not to mention any group of religious zealots could work to make it appear that some prophecy has been fulfilled. It would be quite easy for example, for Jesus and his followers to stage and "fulfill" any number of the "prophecies" associated with the messiah. Sorry, but the claim that Christianity is legitimate due to fulfilled prophecy just doesn't hold any weight.
How about the fact that Jesus cursed the Jews and there children for all eternity and since then the Jews have been killed, rejected, and shunned. Tell me about that one ya stoop. Then the bible says Jesus will return for good in 3 days, in the bible it says that 1 day to god is 1000 years to man its been about 2015 years since then just wait out for it. If you think about it there is a god and there always has been you cant explain anything without him because he made it that way humans are trying to get out of that realm of thinking. That should not be. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:sma ck:

Well, not so much that he noticed that this thread had been dormant for over 3 years.

Also, I hear the grammar police are looking for him.

This statement makes no sense to me. I've never heard anybody claim to be looking for infinite knowledge. I have no idea why you said something in this post about dumb ATHEISTS. Somebody that know more than I will post the statistics that show that the higher the IQ the less likely one is to be religious.
