In the end. It is a personal choice whether to believe in a religion. The more someone shoves a religion in your face, the least likely you are to even consider looking into it.
Although there's not a lot of people who even want to talk about religion, but everyone has an opinion :P

No, yeah, I can't actually remember my original point now. Basically I don't mind when people want to tell me about their faith but I think standing on a box in the middle of a market square is a silly place to try and attract more followers. People are busy and in a rush and you're just going to annoy them, which will actually make them less likely to want to see life from your perspective in the first place! On the other hand, I've had a friend come up to me before and talk to me quietly about how faith found them and I found that really nice. It didn't make me want to be religious but it did make it easier for me to see where she was coming from and why she believed if that makes sense :P

So yeah.. I suppose it's not religion that bothers me at all, it's just how people act. I think it's really silly to try and preach to a load of people who aren't listening. Faith should be a personal thing to share with people you want to help, it shouldn't be shoving leaflets in peoples' faces and shouting at them in my opinion :P Like I've said before, I know only a few people actually do things like that but they do it so often and on more than one occasion I have actually been chased by them until I get into a shop because they "just want ten minutes of my time". It just puts everyone else who does good for Christianity, etc in a bad light :(

its only problematic once they preach that their way is the only/right way eg homosexuality is wrong yaddyyaya
honestly doesn't bother me religious people askin if i would listen to their beliefs bc I know many of them believe and ARE doing right, like i mentioned before with them giving free food to homeless, raising money for charity et

to me asking what religion is the best is like asking what skin colour/ethnicity is the best.

Dragga trying to cause more arguments, as per usual.

"Which religion is most worthy of your time?"
What kind of question is that?

this thread isn't even worth my time.

Um excuse me mister moody, but I created this thread for these people to debate (basically fight it out) tyvm.

Anyways, I feel that no religion is the best, not to say im not Spirtual, but I believe in MYSELF, not someone else (some god or deity thingy) to do things for me.

Heres one of the many sayings I've heard, and I really like is this one.

"Dear World,

Religion is like a penis. It's fine to have one and it's fine to be proud of it,
but please don't whip it out in public and start waving it around...
and PLEASE don't try to shove it down my child's throat.

Sincerely, tired of hearing your religious guff"

So why would you want people to fight over who has the best penis?

This "nobody dictates what I do but ME" lark is getting very old very fast. Religion is no more or less a means of creating and maintaining ideologies than anything else in your life. Just because religion may be dying out in some areas of the world does not mean that you are living a life free from prods and pokes in the direction that is deemed correct. The cult of the individual is on the rise and the self and our interactions with others are laced with notions of the sacred. God may be dead for some but , as Nietzsche put it, "his shadow still looms" - without faith in a higher power we get people like you and Hitler that take it upon themselves to act Godly and dictate how others should lead their lives! :P

Kinda tired of armchair sceptics that know little-to-nothing about religion itself other than that which is presented to them through outlets with their own agendas piping up about how religious institutions are full of whackjobs that let the word of a God dictate their every move. You watch/read the news, you obey the law, you go to school and you will eventually enter the labour market. We are all chained in this cave together.

The ritual denunciation of God and His teachings by atheists is just as dogmatic as anything any religious text will 'teach'. Stop generalising by banding all Christians (as well as seemingly all religious folk) together and making assumptions about their faith/interpretations of texts written thousands of years ago. Too often are those that followed religion regarded as ignorant and this is simply something that should not come into it.

Since we're using vacuous/meaningless quotes to back up our points, here is one from Francis Bacon:
" It is true, that a little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion."

and another from somebody else:
"Atheist's don't exist. If you ask anyone why they are an atheist they will proceed to explain their religion of non belief."

The church of the flying spaghetti monster.
