im staying with my dad for the week and he's really religious and sometimes we have little debates about religion. ultimately he runs out of things to say but still doesn't falter, and that always confuses me about people.
i know epicmafia is full of atheists with nothing to live for so im going to play devils advocate and argue in favor of religion to see if i can be as stubborn as my dad
you're right, i should expect the most overdone reddit banter from the person on em who can never stop posting even when their posts are garbage

If you can't prove it why waste your time with it?
Anyways, my whole thing about religion as one of my teachers have preached, it's something that's a part of your private life. To him, nothing is more private then his talks between him and god, and trying to incorporate it into other peoples lives or constantly brings it up loses the point of it all in the first place.
What do you expect when you make a thread about one of the most overdone debates on the Internet? On a topic that is extremely difficult to change anyone's mind on? And the host of this debate doesn't even believe in what she's saying?

My mom is religious to an extend, I regret ever talking about it with her though. She can find comfort in believing in a god like most religious. Even with all the conflict that religion has brought and brings I wouldn't wish it to dissapear. It brings comfort and hope to those who need it and i'd feel very guilty taking that away.
you always post, but you never really have anything to say. you just have this obsession with posting. do you do it for attention? i don't get it, you just always post even when you have nothing to post about.
Just to be clear, I’m not a professional ‘quote maker’. I’m just an atheist teenager who greatly values his intelligence and scientific fact over any silly fiction book written 3,500 years ago. This being said, I am open to any and all criticism.
‘In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence.’

Why would you even bother debating him about it, whatever helps you sleep at night.
I play online mafia and you think gambling wouldn't appeal to me?

because there could also be literally any other god. like the flying spaghetti monster. there's just as much of a chance that he exists and will touch me with His Noodly Appendage than that the catholic god exists.
There's no point in a religious debate since you can neither prove nor disprove the existence of a creator, much less an interventionist creator who transplants his son (who is also himself) onto Earth. You can prove or speculate that these things exist, I don't deny that it's likely a rabbi named Yeshua, son of a carpenter called Yosef, got hung from a crucifix by Romans in Judea in 33 AD.
