Exorcism is a superstitious by-product of the dark ages which has no place
in contemporary society. Like all holdovers from the medieval-era Church,
this practice is fundamentally abusive and should be legally banned, once
and for all.

Show us one scrap of proof your religion is real,
PROOF not hear say, visions, hallucinations, provable facts only.
Example fact against:
The bible has the Sun going around the Earth,
FACT is it does not.
Example facts for religion: ?? (none to my knowledge)

Note: Proof is not to include hear say, mind controlled events,
hallucinations, cover up stories by children, direct Bible dogma, fake
miracles ( fake miracles are sight loss returned, wheelchair patient gets up
and walks, cancer remissions and things that could happen on their own.)

Will except miracles that include:
Growing a new eyeballs in empty sockets, a person without legs grow some, I
priest who admits he is a pervert before being caught. Someone jumping out
of a 50-story building squished dead all bones broken then after total brain
splat comes back to life.

There is a mountain of evidence and common sense against religion BUT not
one fact of proof in favour.

Funny, my thought was that they take God too seriously. Look at the
platypus, people! He / She has a sense of homour if he is in fact up there.

I exist.
Therefore I am!
What more proof do you need?

How about this - prove you are not just an extension of my mind.
What is the value of a zero divide?

I mean we d know why the sky is blue.

Yes, the sun used to revolve around the earth - that was back in the days
when the earth was flat.
You had to be crazy to beleive otherwise. Certainly the proof was to the
contrary.

But knowledge changes the truth and the truth estabishes fact.

My point. What makes you so confident that we have attained enough knowledge
to understand the world, the universe in which we seem to exist. Could you
concede that you make be a flat world thinker?

Religion and Theology are not always the same thing. Theology becomes more a
form of Philosophy, religion is just ritualization.
In a theological sense, ritualized religion is worshiping the golden calf.

There has been some interesting scientific studies recently that suggest
that the brain is an interface with electrical energy.
The brain is sensative and responds to electrical energy. The way in which
it responds is with chemical reactions, and those chemical reactions have
phsilogical effects. A rule of physics says that energy is neither created
nor destroyed, it merely changes state.

Now, we still lack knowledge, as we don't really know the source of this
electrical energy. Is it self generated, or is it external.
It could be either. We do know that the significant difference between a
living person and a dead person is the presence or absence of electrical
energy. But a fact has been established. The brain is an organic interface.
It interfaces with electricity. and responds chemically.

This was proven by the great Canadain brain surgeon, Dr Penfield. He could
stick an electroid in your brain, and depending where trigger brain
responses. That is external. So is the electricity internal converting food
to electricity, or does the electricity come from an external source? We
don't know.

If it is just electricty, then we should be able to power a dead brain and
have the person resurrected, to the extent that they just died, and are not
decayed yet, and say didn't have a major organ failure or anything. And if
that electricity source is internal, you should get the same person. But if
you get a zombie, that would suggest that the electricity is external. And
the personality, the intelligence, the awareness is the electricity. Energy.
This would go a long way into scientifically establishing that there is a
soul.
Energy is immortal, and energy is everything and everywhere. Matter is
energy. There is scientific support, while proof is still elusive.

But that proof is directly related to our lack of knowledge. There is enough
scientific data to suggest a likelyhood of God.
There is no real evidence that disproves the existence of God or the soul.
And there is enough data to keep applying the scientific method to the
question. We just may discover that the world is not flat after all.

The best thing is to keep an open questioning mind. And one day we will know
the answers. This is what people do. Figure shit out. But they also make
shit up. Sometimes the lines get blurred. But we, like God, can imagine
something, and then after a lot of work, make it so! I mean how many times
have you heard the expression, If man were meant to fly then he'd have
wings". We fly, and we don't have wings. And what is a few thousand years of
trying, when one day you do it?

Nothing is beyond us, just some things take time. More time than any one
person has, but perhaps not a soul?

Bible is full of that bull stuff.
Adam and Eve have two sons where do they get wives,
The entire earth's population came from the same two people a genetic
nightmare
Hundreds of races evolved from these same two people in 6000 years
impossible.
A man got two of every animal in the world together in one boat. Impossible
they would never fit and with the transportation system of the time it would
take thousands of people thousands of years to just to collect two of
everything they would just now be finishing this would be the biggest make
work project ever.

Fairy tales all.

Which does not help its cause in this age of educated people. Perhaps
back in the days where people were burnt alive for believing the Earth
wasn't flat the bible held its weight. Nowadays it serves as material
for jokes. It's no wonder stand up comedians love the bible so much.

Dogma.... good movie. Especially the whole bit concerning beliefs vs.

Hey, the Bible is good stuff! Leave it alone! Not many religions where you
get to have the virgins already in THIS life. Who wouldn't want to be King
David who, when he got old and couldn't keep his 'heat' anymore, got to make
out with a hundred virgins to keep him warm. Haha.

(I wonder if they rotated them out after they weren't "virgin" anymore
though... But then again, they didn't have viagra at that time, so maybe
they stayed virgins because of that.)

Well, Joshua made THE SUN stand still. Joshua 10:12-13
And again, the SUN went back 10 degrees. 2 Kings 20:9-11

For someone who is supposedly both the author of the book as well as maker
of the universe, the god of the Bible is woefully ignorant of his own
creation.

I hope you're not a professing Christian. It's a bad sign when an atheist
knows the Bible better than one who claims to believe in it.

Nobody claimed it had to make sense. I guess Adam & Eve had (unmentioned)

What? The brain is a collection of cells that interpret electrochemical

Your interpretation of current research is gibberish. The brains signals are
electrochemical in nature, purely a result of chemical reactions. This is
exceptionally well understood. There is no external source required for the
"electrical" signals of the brain.

There is no scientific evidence that suggests the existence of a god of any
stripe.

There is no requirement to disprove that which cannot be shown to exist.

The Earth never was flat, regardless of what was once believed.

Like gods, which we made to explain things we didn't understand. The more we
understand, the less importance gods play in those explanations.

I love this stuff. You idiots always cut your own throats, with no help from
anyone else.

http://www.religioustolerance.org/cosmo_bibl2.htm

Joshua 10:12-13: "Then spake Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD
delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel, and he said in the
sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the
valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the
people had avenged themselves upon their enemies...." Here, the sun was
believed to have stopped moving. This speaks again of a stationary earth and
moving sun.

1 Chronicles 16:30: "...the world also shall be stable, that it be not
moved." This is one of many passages in the Bible which describe the earth
as firm, stable and immovable.

Job 28:23-24: "God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place
thereof. For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole
heaven." The earth is viewed as having ends, unlike a sphere which has no
end and no beginning.
Psalms: The Psalms contain numerous references to:
God being in heaven.
Heaven being directly above the earth.
God seeing people below him, and hearing their prayers.
The earth being fixed, stable and immovable.

Some examples:
Psalms 14:2: "The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to
see if there were any that did understand, and seek God."

Psalms 19:1-6: "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament
sheweth his handywork...Their line is gone out through all the earth, and
their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for
the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth
as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the
heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from
the heat thereof." This passage refers to a housing of some type in which
the sun rests during the night time. It emerges in the morning and passes
each day overhead to the other end of the firmament, heating the entire
world. The author is here referring again to the sun moving over a flat
earth.

Psalms 20:6: "Now know I that the LORD saveth his anointed; he will hear him
from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand."

Psalms 33:13-14: "The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of
men. From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of
the earth."

Psalms 53:2: "God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see
if there were any that did understand, that did seek God."

Psalms 78:23-24: "Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened
the doors of heaven, And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had
given them of the corn of heaven."

Psalms 80:14: "Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from
heaven, and behold, and visit this vine."

Psalms 85:11: "Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall
look down from heaven."

Psalms 93:1: "...the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved."

Psalms 96:10: "...the world also shall be established that it shall not be
moved..."

Psalms 102:19: "For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary;
from heaven did the LORD behold the earth."

Psalms 103:11: "For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his
mercy toward them that fear him."

Psalms 104:1-2: "Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very
great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty. Who coverest thyself with
light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain."
Here, the solid vault above the earth is likened to a curtain.

Psalms 104:5: "Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be
removed for ever." This implied that the earth is permanently fixed in
place, does not move, and is positioned on top of foundations.

Psalms 104:13: "He watereth the hills from his chambers...". Water in the
form of rain is seen as being poured from heaven to earth through floodgates
in the firmament.

Psalms 139:8: "If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed
in hell, behold, thou art there." Heaven is upwards from earth; Hell
(actually a mistranslation of the Hebrew place name Sheol) is downwards from
earth.

But that's playing right into Lucifer's hands!

LOL, of all current dogma, the notion that if you don't believe in God then
Satan gains strengthhas to be my favorite. It isn't like faith is like a
glass of water that if it doesn't go into the God glass it goes into the
Satan glass. Buddhists don't really believe in any "God" per se, do they
strengthen Satan as well?

Presto - seriously considering giving Buddhism a go

Christians... without Christ? directly from Adam and Eve no less!

God asked Adam if he wanted a woman who would obey his every whim, never
complain and always be loyal to him.
Adam said sure, and God told him it would cost him an arm and a leg.
Adam asked God what he could get for a rib,...

As the Guy said on the TV ad." I could not have said it better myself"

I saw a documentary on TLC some months back and they traced the origin of
Hell back using old documents and it turns out Its a word meaning the

It was speculated they may have burned their dead bodies there.

it has something to do with a biblical recount of how someone made "the sun
stand still".
By implication, one can infer that in fact, if he made the sun stand still,
the sun must have moved before.
If the sun is held to be mobile, that means the Earth must be stationary.

When, Centuries later, Galileo 'proved' the Earth revolved around the Sun,
the Religious leaders of the day claimed he spoke a Heresy. Poor Galileo-
either he had a crisis of Faith that day, or was truly an athiest.

As someone has already pointed out,
"science" says no such thing.

But aside from that, the Roman Catholic Church
also agrees (with NAMBLA, in this instance),
that the holes in little boys' bottoms were placed
there by God for the amusement and gratification
of the church's officers and employees.

IOW, what the church "agrees with" is of less
importance to rational people than that it stops
meddling in the reproductive freedom of women,
and that it keeps its nasty, sticky hands off the
bodies of children.

Failing that, the collection of sick freaks that calls
itself a religious organization should be padlocked,
its assets seized, sold and distributed to its
surviving victims and its leaders stuck in prison,
where they will finally get to feel what altar boys
and other children who had the misfortune to
