    Great story for the kids though.
    Its like Twitter, they just look at the trends. So if there are a lot of people preying for bigger penises then they focus on that.

    A good example is sports. Last week a lot of people preyed for the Sharks to win, this week some of those people must have forgotten to prey again... its important to prey every time.

    They focus on people hunting for bigger penises?

    The mods aren't omniscient you know.
    The box said "requires Windows7 or better" so I installed Linux.

    The title is: How to suck at your religion.

    So you'll naturally find stories like people killing their children and then saying god told them to do it, like Abraham.

Science says 'hey, we don't know what happened, but the data points us in this direction, let's explore further.' Religion always says 'God did it.' You might agree that we don't know the technicalities of how this or that happened, but for you the answer will always put God at the beginning. That's filling the biggest gap of all, where 'we don't know' is currently the most accurate answer.
    You talking crap. "Science" has no freakin' idea so if you think the data points in a certain direction you're being deluded. That's worse because you actually think you are basing your decision on physical evidence. Where we know we believe on faith and it's not unsubstantiated either.

    They are still in business because human beings have silly evidenceless beliefs which we need to outgrow.
    That's right you think. I think it's actually time people outgrow this childishness to tell others what beliefs are reasonable or not. I didn't see him actually mocking scientology and he does have a point. It does seem to be more about the money. I don't know about its followers but the head body seems to be.

    I didn't say everyone has a problem admitting they don't know but everyone makes up stuff to fill in gaps in their knowledge. Seeing you in action however you do actually have a problem admitting to what you don't know.

    I would point you in the direction of the evidence for the big bang but you will just dismiss it so i wont be wasting my time with that.

    This argument is disturbing. How on earth do you think science makes any advancements if the data doesn't point in certain directions? The human mind is wired to follow the evidence. Like building a massive puzzle, every piece fits into another piece and after a while a picture starts to emerge. Magic!

    Believing solely on faith is like randomly piecing the puzzle together even if the pieces don't fit and then just accepting that is what it should look like.

    Your cartoon makes the scripture seem to claim one thing and say another , but if you would actually read it you would know what it teaches.

    I'm sure you've been told this before, but your own beliefs - regardless of how compelling they seem to you - are irrelevant to what is actually true. Secondly, the cartoon is a perfectly accurate illustration of the fundamentalist approach to any field of study that contradicts dogma... as has been amply illustrated on this very forum.

    Oh, and I've read the holey babble... cover to cover. You'll find no more compelling argument against Christianity than a complete reading of its scriptures.
