How safe is this place?

Do you think we will be allowed to discuss: -> The Sham that is Prayer. -> The Soap Opera of the Bible. -> Why Religion was created? -> Why God was created? -> Why God requires constant praise? -> Why does God have to prove anything? -> Why does God work in mysterious ways? -> Hypocracy. -> Religious Arrogance. -> Why Faith? -> How can all religions be 'right' yet believe differently? Tek

You forgot "The myth that is Jesus." I say we talk about that one! I'm not sure what we'll be able to discuss but check my "What would Dubya Do" post. Took FOUR versions before I got one expressing my general idea that did not get pulled.

I am not knowledgable on that topic, but would be interested in it. "A World Wide Flood" "The Earth is 6000 years old" There are topics gallore that could be interesting. Tek

I say we try it!! If they're going to open a Agnostic/Atheist messageboard, then they should be prepared to see us discussing those very topics. Ponder away!!! I'll answer!! If anyone gets their post deleted, email the rest of us directly...if we need to start our own group elsewhere in an arena that won't censor us! Jessica

I say we toss out this one... Do you agree with Jesse Ventura that religion is for the weak-willed?

D'OH! I should have looked it up first. He called religion a "crutch for the weak-minded."

How is that much different than Marx's "Religion is the opiate of the masses" Jesse is pretty bold for a politico. This goes to the question of Why was religion created? My answer is basically to keep people in line, to get them to accept a lot of indignities, squaller, injustice by promising them a better place and life after they die. You will be pleasing God if you work hard now, and you will get a reward later. Tek

I believe we just have to avoid attacking specific people or religions, and we will probably be OK. Tek

I'm quite sure you didn't mean this humorously, but you DO slay me on MANY boards LOL. (I'm not 'really' here )

You're right, this was not meant humorously. Honestly, I did choose the topics to be a bit inflamatory, not just to see if the post is removed. I am not sure how interesting the topics would be, as there may well be very little variety of opinion. As it is, I may have to present a believers arguement (which I can do fairly and effectively). It seems to me many Athiests and Agnostics go on to become Anti-Religion, and it is easy to fall into the trap of bashing rather than discussing. I would think that beleivers will pop in, just like women on the mens board, and newbies on the Grads board. Tek
