Religious Debate continued

am i not right when i say that someone cant consider themselves christian (or catholic or anything similar) if they dont beleive in one main thing that that religion beleives in? like i think i read somewhere that someone beleives in God but not in adam and eve. sooo thats basically making up your own religion, which is obviously fake b/c it was just made up by people.
idk just wondering

well i don't really believe everything in the bible. Much of the bible is symbolism and complex metaphors. It is said by biblical scholars that the bible is not supposed to be interpreted literally. Many catholics like myself, take beliefs from catholicism and other aspects of christianity and take and practice your own beliefs from that, which is not a bad thing.

there are different kinds of of catholic faiths tho, but it does all revolve around god
theres alot actually
protestant, roman catholic, etc.

someone lock this it could turn into a big argument

^dude, thats the idea of the thread

my gosh, open your eyes

Hey, be civil about this,the last thing we need is people arguing. It's a debate, not a place to freak on people. Debates require rational thought, not "I believe therefor it is true", it's supposed to be "well, you can't explain this(insert object) without intelligent design." If illegitimate arguments keep coming up this will be locked. This is a fingerboarding site, not a religious forum, I allowed the idea of a debate to try to add something good to this forum but all it seems to be adding is hate-mongering.

Yeah I agree with zanthos

what are we even debating about in the first place?

cus debating is for cool people. idk

Debating is a HUGE part of America. And what Zanthos said, we have a game thread but it doesn't mean it's a game site it's just an add on, and if people want to argue let them unless it becomes a curse war.and this is just my opinion

^same

Do any of you guys know what scientology is? I heard it had to do with some intergalactic warlord or something but I am to lazy to study this.

yeah from what I know, I think they believe that we once lived in an intergalactic planet, but the planet was overpopulated so the Lord Xenu sent us in these like spaceships to Earth, but the spaceships I think crashed into some volcano and our souls roamed around earth looking for bodies which were before souless and the souls took these bodies. I'm pretty sure some of that is false, but it just sounds like some crazy dream that some guy decided he could make money off of. I guess I can't call it ridiculous because people actually do believe this and I shouldn't judge that, but...yeah theres scientology for you

i wanna know how the heck people found proof for that. haha what the heck. i mean if it was real, i think more people wouldve carried that story down. sounds like a friggin science fiction book. harry potter or some shit.

Wow your joking right? I asked about scientology becuase I heard that it was on of the biggest jokes in the science world. Noone has proof for that, I just asked becuase I'm too lazy to see what it was entirely about.

Goombla there isnt any real proof, but people seem to believe it
mainly becuse alot of it wraps around previous events in history
i could make a religion called glassism and say that all these events happened due to our leader beavus the glass ball maker
you never now but you could make up stuff to wrap aroud everything so perfectly that people will believe it.

I'm going to make a new religion.

Youtubisim. It is when you have no life and go on youtbe all day long. You live ,breath, eat ,and sleep youtube.

idk bout youtubism but recently ive kinda gotten into fingerboardspotism.

Yet again the topic of the thread is not being followed. This is a debate, not a discussion about making a religion called youtube-ism. Jonathan's post was legitimate in that he was writing about why people believe in any religion.

I was keeping it legitiment.
I was showing that anyone can start a religion but that does not mean it is right or it will make sense.

calm down a little

if youre going to harsh on every single post then theres not gunna be any fingerboardspot. have you noticed that this place has like 10 posts a day??

Ok hasn't this argument gone on long enough already? I check FB spot everyday and its still this religious debate going back and forth creating grudges with people amoung the fourm. And like it or not we don't get to many new members often. So if all of you want to take sides fine. Its doing 2 things, One: its killing this fourm. Two: THIS IS A FINGERBOARD FOURM, not a religious debate thing. And i'm sure if this debate goes on any longer this is gonna turn everyone againt each other eventually.
