Things like this is why I take up for Muslims here...

[R13]

I know that Christian extremists have caused acts of violence just as Islamic extremist have. If Islamic extremist have caused violence that doesn't mean the whole religion of Islam is horrible and believes the same as the extremists, does it? Shouldn't the same apply to Christians?

I don't think you realize I'm not just talking about terrorism, I'm talking about wars, terrorism, corruption, death and destruction of countless lives. I'm not even talking about today's extremist really, I'm talking about basic concepts of most religions since they were ever invented. Religion is man-made, whether people are accepting to that of not it's undeniable and even though I think God is man-made, I'm just talking about religion. They have been created so people can control others, set their own rules, that's why most religions are the same...as in the basics were borrowed from ones before it, tweaked a bit and passed around, don't you find it a little funny that you can find the biography of jesus passed around many centuries before he was actually here? Or stories like the great flood too? There all too similar, if people weren't so closed minded and in denial, they would see that too and question.

While most religions claim to "bring everyone together" and all that jazz, it promotes division and has always done that, which has caused all of this destruction for thousands of years. You can't claim unity, while claiming that everyone else who doesn't follow it is wrong and evil(along those lines) and expect that not to cause problems.

OK I AM SO SORRY THAT I HAVE EVER REPLIED OR ANSWERED ANY OF YOUR POSTS. I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER SINCE YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY SO MUCH MORE BRILLIANT THAN THE REST OF US PEONS. IF YOU WANT SOMEONE TO SAY IT AND IT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER I WILL, EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS THE TRUTH. YOU ARE SO RIGHT IT IS WRONG! EVERYONE SHOULD LISTEN TO YOUR WORDS OF WISDOM. (just in case please note the sarcasm)

[R13]

Lol So you had no rebuttal, huh?

[cosmo99]

How can I have a rebuttal when you are right? There is NOTHING anyone can say to you that you are going to believe and I can about guarantee that if God himself came to your home and showed you proof that you would dispute it. You make it difficult to debate anything because no matter what you are always right and the other person is always wrong no matter what the proof. You never listen to the other side. I could say fish swim in the water and you would debate it and it would end up being a 10 page long thread.

[R13]

Nope, I just don't get into debates anywhere when I don't know what I'm talking about, have some kind of knowledge about and have researched it a bit - anyone is going to be right when they do that. I don't act like I know everything, not close to it, I just don't put myself in situations that much where I'm arguing something wrong. So no, it's not the "you'll argue anything, wrong or not, no one can argue with you". I just don't make comments/statements or post something I can't back up. That seems to be the consensus by some on here of that's how I do things, but it couldn't be further from the truth. As I've said, facts shut anyone up, yet nothing...

[cosmo99]

Just so you know there are plenty of things I don't comment on because I may not know the topic. I never profess to be the smartest and most knowledgeable about most topics on here, the topic was religion related to terrorism. I researched it and came up with my post. I will have you know I don't just pull my comments out of my ass just to be typing on here and see my name on a screen. You believe what you will about God and I believe what I will and then see who comes out right at the end.

[R13]

And no one ever said you didn't do any of those things, no one said that about anyone, just don't say I'm acting like I'm always right when you don't post anything to prove me wrong. Most of what I say on here, can be backed up, I used to spout off when I first got on here and few years ago and looked like a dumbass...of course some still act like I don't know what I'm talking about, but can never post proof as to why that is. I explain everything, and can post facts to back up what I've said here, yet deflected with your sarcastic comment. Oh well. This wasn't even really about "God", it was about religion is very different. But sure we can, even though this wasn't even about that, just gets a little old(not saying this is just you) when the believers on here get cornered, they use that little argument you did.

And btw, I do listen to the other side, doesn't mean the other side is right. Don't forget I was on the other side the most of my life, was very into it and knowledgeable about a lot of "that side", so it's not like I have always been an agnostic and never considered/believed anything else.
