I have a close friend who is quite intelligent, and is also a Christian. He is not a religious nut by any means, and for the most part agrees that science and the government should be left alone by…Continue

Charlie Sellers replied to Samuel H. Kenyon's discussion 'Dennett's talk "What should replace religion?"'Charlie Sellers replied to Robert Karp's discussion 'Atheism Semantics'"I think its poor word recognition based on the tone of the word. Sometimes it refers more to a dogmatic faith, while other times it refers to a theory based on evidence. In the words of The Offspring, "You Gotta Keep 'Em Separated".…"
Charlie Sellers replied to Brother P.'s discussion 'Owned by Pascal's Wager.'"No, because now he is opinion-ating everything to suit his purpose. He is being irrational and apologetic. You can just as easily throw the Bible in there like he did with Buddhism and Islam and use it against him. Just open the Bible to a…"
Charlie Sellers replied to IEatDinosaurMeat's discussion 'Just a theory'"Evolution is a theory that is widely accepted as fact. He is wrong to say two things: That we believe IN it, and that to believe it requires faith. First off, no one believes IN evolution, but only only believes that evolution is a scientific fact.…"

Charlie Sellers replied to Charlie Sellers's discussion 'Should All Religious Leaders Be Required to Study Basic Courses on Topics Like Evolution?'"And I agree, but now give me the evidence to attribute this to any of the gods man put in their religious texts.

Unseen replied to Charlie Sellers's discussion 'Should All Religious Leaders Be Required to Study Basic Courses on Topics Like Evolution?'"Let's continue to keep church and state separate as far as culturally possible.

Dustin replied to Charlie Sellers's discussion 'Should All Religious Leaders Be Required to Study Basic Courses on Topics Like Evolution?'"No, your example is no less ridiculous than the following:

- About Me:
- I am 17, a Senior in high school. I graduate this May and in June I will be at MCRD Parris Island becoming a US Marine. I will be going reserves and coming home to study Chemistry at a local college. For fun I play guitar and do mixed martial arts. I have been doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for a little over a year now. I grew up in Georgia in the "Bible Belt". I left my Baptist "beliefs" about two years ago.

- Why are you here?
- To meet fellow atheists. Socialize.
- The religion you left
- Christian
- Why you left your religion.
- My natural curiosity and love of learning propelled me to do the unthinkable... Study science, and history and reason. I prefer real evidence and answers to "we cant explain it, so god did it". I also find it horrible to be alive as a slave to an omnipotent for all eternity. I would like to die and rest someday. Im perfectly content with ceasing to exist one day because I was lucky enough to exist in the first place.
