Why should anyone believe in Jesus, God, your religion, etc.?

I'm sorry I don't follow. What does that mean?
Hey dude. I am digging your posts, cool to have you in this sub-forum. Eye is saying that by using the term fairy tale, you are looking down your nose at theists, so they have to look back at you over your upraised nose :) His point is that by putting forth your thoughts in a more respectful way, you're more likely to be heard and respected in turn. He takes a while to understand, but it's worth it...

Ah I see. But I just say what I think are good descriptions. I'm not necessarily trying to be disrespectful on purpose. But then again, I'm not too worried about people's feelings that much. The truth is the truth and if that offends people, oh well.

Just out of curiosity, what would be a different or better way of saying it?

I hear you, I'm very much the same way. Note that was his opinion, one that I rarely share ;)

Instead of Fairy Tales, perhaps Ancient Myths or Noble Legends of Old. Lol, I wish there was a jerk-off motion emoticon...

Hi, Tyler. Thanks for the kind words and very clear explanation of what I was saying. Pretty cool! I'd pass you a bowl right now but, you know, limitations :)

"Christians have made a myriad contributions in a broad and diverse range of fields, including the sciences, arts, politics, literatures and business. According to 100 Years of Nobel Prizes a review of Nobel prizes award between 1901 and 2000 reveals that (65.4%) of Nobel Prizes Laureates, have identified Christianity in its various forms as their religious preference."
Regardless of how many Christians have won the Nobel prize, it doesn't make their religion any more credible, in My opinion.

It's not just an opinion. It's true.
Yes, I agree, thank you.

No miracles have ever been empirically proven by science, so the Jesus story is a myth, and also the alleged miracles that happened in the Old Testament is also mythical.

I believe it is actually a logical fallacy, but I forget the name. Its when its impossible for others, except for God or Jesus, or whomever. Maybe someone can help Me name this logical fallacy?

~PEACE~

You know my opinion. It is mainly eye, gorilla, neveah, and I that discuss these things.
Mans brain is wired for superstition. Step.on a crack break your back.

As a human we ALL are wrong from time to time.
My belief in god hurts no one. If I'm wrong when I die no harm no foul. If your wrong and wake up in hell, well that would suck.
