God doesn't exist

Similar symbols do not equal in plagiarism, you could deduce all kinds of aspects from the knowledge you have right now. Which means that the concept of these modern religions have set a base line for people to try to find similar traits in myths and other religions. Which means we're biased towards certain things, which on term means that the things we observe immidiately fall under the same catogory as that baseline.

OK, THIS IS AN INTERESTING DEBATE, BUT IF I SEE MORE NAMECALLINGS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THE PERSON AND NOT ABOUT THE TOPIC I AM GOING TO WARN THAT GUY!!

It's not 'similar' symbols.

The EXACT same traits in Christianity - Virgin birth on 25th December, dead on cross for three days, rise are totally and 100% traceable in astrology.

These are not mild similarities. These are absolutely obvious plagerisms... Or actually, probably not even that, they're re-interpretations in human tales of these star-bred myths.

Which is why it's bizarre to take any of it as fact or truth of ANYTHING in this day and age. Even back then. But at least they hardly knew anything back then.

But whatever.

If you find any of that stuff at all convincing or satisfying as answers for... Anything. That's up to you.

I'm out of this thread for real now. God debates are circular and ever-repeating.

That.

Interesting debate for sure, but not one that will lead to many concessions from either side.

You're not implying that Jesus was born on 12/25 are you?

You're right, Jesus was not born on the 25th of December.

^I know, he wasn't born at all. He's a myth. Bye.

The man Jesus is actually real, whether or not he perfomed all the miracles and other things however is another story.

And stop being stupid.

I believe in God (Muslim) and I respect (but disagree) with Atheist beliefs. But one thing I've found from discussing religion with them is they are extremely disrespectful. They don't seem to have a respect for other people's differing opinions on this subject. It seems like no matter how "good" their argument is they have this need to insult and mock religious people who believe in God. If you were good at debating and confident, then why would you need to insult and degrade the person you're debating with? Can't you just have a friendly, intellectually stimulating debate without name calling? This is why I don't really debate anymore because it always ends in name calling and atheists calling religious people morons and blind and stupid. It infuriates me, it's like they feel they're on a pedestal and superior to people who believe in God.
Sorry, just had to get this off my chest

Think about it this way.

Would you have respect for someone who was trying to convince you that they truly believed in the tooth faerie? And based their entire life off of that belief.

That's not easy when you're debating with a religious person...
