Why Participate In R&S?

[nailit]

I know its been asked before of unbelievers/atheists.
But what would this section of AB look like if it wasnt for the unbelievers/atheists??

The Catholics wouldnt really care too much. They just generally get on in life and leave others to it.
The JW's just post, hit and run.
The Fundies will post a bible verse or question that is supposed to convince us all to accept Bronze age belief.

If it wasnt for non believers this catagory wouldnt exist.

You're right.

If it was only the faithful posting there would be mostly strife interspersed with outbreaks of peace 'n' love, just like real life, each sect, cult or faction vying for supremacy insisting there particular ghost story was the truth.

One god, many names etc.

None of it matters in the end.

LOL, Dont think so.
They would all kill each other.
As history has proved.

That much is true...

It’s one of the nastiest topics of AB. Best avoided .

[tiggerblue10]

I avoid R&S most of the time.

[nailit]

//It’s one of the nastiest topics of AB. Best avoided//
Avoid it then!
Not difficult.

[anneasquith]

Difficult for some it would seem though .

[nailit]

Why do people who avoid a catagory, feel the need to comment of said catagory?

[nailit]

//Difficult for some it would seem though//
lol,
proving the point.

[tiggerblue10]

Am I not permitted to comment?

[nailit]

EH?

[douglas9401]

One could be forgiven for thinking that you had a selection of answers pre-prepared as you revisit yet again the subject of the beliefs of others.

[nailit]

EH?

Think ive just entered a parrellal universe...

Belief is ingrained from birth & difficult to deny. Its a bit like questioning ones geneology coz relations reinforce ones beliefs; its almost tribal. I agree the bible is far fetched & I cherry pick it. But in hard times beyond me, faith is my last hope.

[nailit]

//Belief is ingrained from birth//
Indeed!

[Mozz71]

//If it wasnt for non believers this catagory wouldnt exist.//

That alone is the best argument for not posting in R&S I've seen.

[tamborine]

Ingrained for some of us - I mean. Especially RCs from baptismal. Saying that, my sons are not baptised but Frazer has turned to God to cure his illness.

Popcorn is best . . . shared.
