quote: As opposed to singing to no one, chanting matins, putting your hands together and saying the same thing in unison calling it a prayer, condemning gay people...I think those rituals are just as ridiculous.
You are right on a couple of those, nowhere even in early Christian text did it say to do these ritual, etc..man is flawed, God is not. The gay thing, well..read leviticus...oh but wait, you think the book is trash, nevermind.

Well a God cannot be disproved at all. Religions can be if one looks at them objectively, but within the religion it is seen as "blasphemy" to question a god, so actual thought is basically frowned upon unless it is in the favour of religion and I for one would certainly argue that that isn't *actual* thought as it's the original form of brainwashing into a shared mindset propagating the power of the Church.
What's the point in believing in a lie? It seems to be centred around the fear of nothingness after death (though no one who believes in a god would *ever* admit that's why).
For me, it's just a way to pass a bit of time and blow off some steam in a rarely, but sometimes, intelligent debate.
why did you mention my quote? i never said anything about God.
