Does ANYONE REALLY want to have decent dialogue regarding spirituality and religion?

Question

Or is this section only for Atheists and Agnostics who STILL can't seem to stop themselves from talking about God despite their never-ending blather about how they don't feel or believe anything spiritual?

Answer 1

Clearly, not you.

Ask a decent question next time.

Answer 2

no.... but i would like to go to war with any religion that apposes me

Answer 3

Yes.

Answer 4

the ironic thing is I actually clicked on your question thinking that for once someone might say something remotely intelligent. this is what I got instead.

Answer 5

I too would like a respectful, serious debate about spirituality and religion.  However you will always get 'crazies' and people who have to put their two cents in whether or not a question is asked that they have any real interest in.  So I am not sure how realistic trying to have a good conversation in this forum would be.

Answer 6

I love a good discussion on religious topics, which is what originally drew me to this board.

Answer 7

well i have to say that religion is a fascinating topic and it is philosophical, psychological, anthropoligical, and sociological. . . lots of people study it. .including atheists and agnostics. .

and this forum is for everyone not just people who believe in a certain brand of religioin/spiritualiy.

and yes, i would love to have a decent dialogue

Answer 8

I would.  If anyone knows a site to do this, let me know!

Answer 9

Not really (I answered your question)

Answer 10

First, Atheists and Agnostics have just as much a right to discuss religion as anyone else.  They have opinions and viewpoints that they want to share, and there is nothing wrong with that.  No one is forcing you to agree with them, or for that matter, even read their questions or responses.  The only kind of REAL spiritual/religion related dialogue, is where ALL are allowed to share their views.

And I know for a fact that you are quite mistkaen in your assesment that Agnostics don't feel or believe anything spiritual.  If they didn't feel some kind of spirituality, curiosity, or understanding, then they wouldn't be AGNOSTICS (which loosely translates to searching for knowledge/higher power/transcendence.)

And while I am not an Atheist, I believe they have some good points, and great arguments; and as long as both side are respectful in debate, there is no reason why an intelligent theist and an empathetic Atheist can't get along.

It is when we judge and stifle others for their beliefs, thatno true dialogue can occur.

Answer 11

Well, the whole reason I am a Pagan is because I truly enjoy thinking about complex moral issues, human existence, purpose, etc. but I find that I always get a thumbs down no matter how much effort I put into my answer. Or am told I am going to h**l. Not exactly a friendly forum for anyone, eh?

Answer 12

I personally would love a debate abotu religion.  a serious respectful one.

Answer 13

yea.. let me know too. please

Answer 14

Yes, I would like to have a decent dialogue about spirituality and religion.

Atheists and agnostics are no more annoying than the rabid fundamentalists.

Answer 15

your not in church sweetheart!  but, why dont you say a prayer for us?

Answer 16

I am always open to a decent dialogue.  Sometimes you just have to ignore everything that tries to get in the way.
