Making fun of born-again Christians is like hunting dairy cows with a high powered rifle and scope.

So I go in to the gym in my complex and this nice lady is on the treadmill and she is watching TBN and has it on the entire time I was there .. and its full on "IN THE NAME OF jEEEEESUS" type of sermon.... then her husband who is not even working out at all just waiting on his wife is sitting there glued to the tube and is repeating verbatim what the preacher is saying. It was sorta of surreal.
I had to listen to this for an hour while trying to work out. I don't mind that so much but would any of you say anything to them?

Ukit,
I'd prefer to watch an interview with an intelligent person that believes in the Flying Spaghetti Monster than a simple person who is a target for easy humour. That said, I think it would be pretty hard to find one. There are a lot of bright Christians though.

My parents always told me growing up to just respect what Jesus did. Not the dying part, but what he taught people. The message seemed pretty simple. Be kind to each other, love your neighbor, and don't hurt people. I don't have to worship deities or quote the bible to practice this.

The fact that religious belief of any kind is rooted in faith does not make it incompatible with logic, unless one considers human logic to be the ultimate achievement in the universe.
- Reality is firmly routed in logic though - and in order to live a reasonably coherent life we need reality.lukus_W
- *rooted (too much computer speak)lukus_W
- But is reality merely that which is tangible, and testable by logic? Or could it possibly encompass things which are intangible?gramme
- intangible?gramme
- Reality is a human construct which is useful to us - it's a prism which we use to view our part of the universe.lukus_W
- There are definitely more ways to view our part of the universe, but evolution has crafted us in such a way that our ability to rationalise serves an essential purpose to our lives.lukus_W
- rationalise serves an essential purpose to our lives.lukus_W
- We can choose to have faith in an 'other' - but history has taught blind-faith to be less productive.lukus_W
- Has it indeed?gramme
- Do you disagree? What are your thoughts?lukus_W

Which religious belief is not incompatible with what logistical principle ?
Ultimate achievement by what measure ?Your response, Gramme, is honestly so typical of those that I receive in these arguments, but it really has no content.. Basically, it's a way of responding to the accusation that there is no evidence of the Supernaturalism you declare to be real and true and that has an effect on physical things in the real world, by saying "ah ! there isn't any evidence, but so what ? evidence isn't necessary in this particular case, we've just brazenly asserted, so ner !, we *could* still be right, on your terms, if we just change the rules a little bit".
It's very weak, really, isn't it ?

God gave us logic, yet he's punishing us for using it?

You've misunderstood me, and jumped to some unwarranted conclusions, haven't you?
Faith, at its core, involves belief in something intangible. But faith is often informed by history, and by facts anyone can observe. The point I was making is that I didn't have to leave my brain at the door when I became a Christian. There are questions science can answer, and questions it cannot. Science is rooted in the study of tangible things. Science cannot produce physical evidence and say "we've peered through the looking glass, gathered proof, and lo/behond: there is no metaphysical realm."
So, there is actually content in my statement, simple though it may be: science is incapable of dismissing the possibility of the supernatural. I'm acutely aware that I can't argue very strongly FOR the spiritual world from a scientific perspective. And that's as it should be; we would be naive to assume that science can answer all of our questions.
Another way of stating my original point is that it requires a leap of faith—faith in a misunderstanding of what science can actually prove—to say that faith and logic may not coexist without contradicting one another.
