"...aborigines believe each star is a dancing goddess..". OK, so from this point on we can ignore anything aborigines have to say.

@Lenocas2011 To me, never having been raised to be religious at all, I just always knew that something created the order. I've spent my life trying to understand the "orderer". I'm actually around a lot of athiests, but most know that I believe in the Constitution, and believe that each person has the right to their own belief. We should be able to talk about our differences with out feeling the other person must agree with me. I'm now LDS and feel their expression of faith and science is good.

@401Hala I still can´t understand why people have to think about the existence of a God, no offense I am just trying to understand

[Lenocas2011]

Thk y so much for posting

Grav: If you were so sure that God didn't do it, then you would not be so strident in insisting would you? I'm pretty happy with just admitting that there is a lot we do not know. :)

@Nilguiri If you read my comment you wouldn't be bantering me from the beginning. And it seems like I'm not communicating with you well or you're just a little narrow minded (no offense this is from what I see you're perceiving).

In any case religion has done plenty of things, good and bad, as has science, neither are going away for quite some time that I know for sure. I don't know why you wanted me to answer a question you knew the answer too either.

[Nilguiri]

@Sovember

In other words you are unable to give me a single answer that religion has provided to anything.

Don't worry about it, nobody can.

[Sovember]

@Nilguiri Yes I prefer indoctrination because you're likely to hurt less feelings that way, if you haven't noticed humans have emotion and will more than likely react defensively to being called "Brain Washed".

Like I said Religion has answered questions if your belief is that an 'answer' is just a solution to a question. To theists religion has simple 'answers' to the universes big questions, I never said they were objective truths, in a way they accept their, albeit primitive, answers as fact

[Nilguiri]

@Sovember

Yes, I deliberately chose the word brainwashing for its negative connotations. Do you prefer indoctrination?

That doesn't have the negative meaning I wanted to express.

Before you go, I'm interested to hear what questions you insist that religion has answered. You haven't mentioned one yet.

[Sovember]

@Nilguiri I don't know, maybe a less provocative/cheeky synonym, perhaps?

And from what I'm reading it seems like you answered your own question. This argument has gotten out of hand, I don't think we're seeing eye to eye here. Oh well, if that's your opinion I'll respect it.

What I don't like is you not wanting to watch this video because of one phrase, but I won't judge you for that.
