I call people who believe in a god "religionists". It's a fair enough term, although I could have just used the term "theist" instead, I suppose.
I prefer sheeple, or sometimes religitard, depending on their level of ineptitude For example... I would consider BitNow sheeple, but BADecker a religitard... do you see the subtlety? I guess there is something funny behind that but I don't have enough English knowledge to understand it ^^ |

By ignoring the quality of something, you are easily ignoring whether or not it is valid.  That is not true: a thing can be valid in a system and not in another. The quality of a thing doesn't screw up the validity of the same thing. Validity is absolute in a system, quality is relative in that system. Although we are humans. Best regards. Someone has hijacked BitNow's account. Yeah take care he said something vaguely coherent and intelligent xD |

well atheists donot believe in religion...wic is why they hate religion!
Non sequitur. Not believing in something doesn't mean you hate it. Well, for rational people, anyway. I don't believe in UFOs. I don't hate them. I don't believe in the Easter bunny. I don't hate it. I don't believe in Destiny. I don't hate it. You get the idea - you can think up other examples yourself. Yeah and we don't believe in God, but we believe in religion (hard to not believe in it as it's rather obvious religions exist) and I hate it ^^ |

I know it's hard to think for yourself. Believe me. It's a daily struggle. But that doesn't mean that you have to let a book and some people turn you into a mindless drone. Be religious. It's your right. We don't have to. It's our right.

I would say the term "religionists" perpetuates a narrow view in regards to belief. It would mean that every god is tied to a religion and that religion cannot exist without god, and god cannot exist without religion. This of course is not the case. |

You follow BADecker's view that religions can exist without belief in the supernatural? |

To be fair it's not just the book. Most of them get brainwashed by priests and all the stuff around religion. You know the huge American messes and things like that... |

He has shut off the part of his brain that recognizes a whole lot of things, especially about God and Christians. |

The oldest near factual distance we can go back is barely 5,000 years. Carbon dating has proven itself unreliable. Sumer dating through the "pottery" method suggests an age possibly as far back as 5,000 years. And even that is not a certainty. We can tell that the earth is older than that, but we can't tell haw old beyond that. We absolutely have a lot of guesses, however. Since they are guesses, people who believe them as fact have a religion going for themselves. |

And not only that but carbon dating is not the only method we use to date old things. It's plain stupidity to think that the world is 5k years old. |

No, there is no such falsifiable proof. As usual, you present your opinion as fact. If you didn't do that I'd probably never post here. |

The fact that carbon dating is unreliable isn't my idea by any means. Google it. Even tree ring and ice core samplings are judgmental in the ways they are used to date things. We might be able to go back a little past 4,500 years or so, but beyond that, it becomes very unclear - dating pottery and written-on-clay fragments. Lingual and genetic changes seem to trace back only to about 5,000 years. Beyond that even these kinds of datings become foggy. What else is there other than guesswork? |
