Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Right, because Obama has never been ridiculed for his religion or had lies spread about him like being a Muslim terrorist...oh wait.

Palin isn't ridiculed for her religion. She's ridiculed for wanting to instill her riligious beliefs into government. No one out there says Palin doesn't have the right to be an anti-abortion Christian. They just don't think her personal beliefs about abortion should be made into law.

In fact, this is basically the definition of religious freedom. If we made abortion illegal, and my religion allows abortion, then I would not be able to practice my religious beliefs. And that is why we keep religion out of government.
Dreach. I feel that murder is OK under certain conditions, such as if I catch my wife cheating on me with another man. These damn christians keep sticking their nose in my business and telling me that I am wrong because God opposes murder. Shouldn't they just keep that to themselves and keep their religious beliefs out of government?

Thank God I'm not the only one calling Lars out on his analogies anymore!

Basically, ALL religions are bullshit, tax free, money making machines. Here is an analogy for you: GOD vs. UFO's........there is no proof of either yet UFO believers are considered by many to be "nut jobs".........how much sense does that really make? Religious people get off by calling it "faith"........in what? Something some other MAN told you? Even being raised Catholic and 5 yrs of Catholic school.........my opinion, religion is bullshit!

there is proof of God all around you. How do you explain your own existance without God?

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

Bill Maher, is that you?

First SNL, then abortion, now God. Good thread.

Aaron how do you explain your existance with God? The two creation stories? I am Christian, and I have faith that there is a God, but really, there is no tangible evidence either way. That is why it is called faith. Some people believe, some people don't; we won't know who is right until we die.

hog, believing the stories in the Bible certainly is largely a matter of faith and not proof....that I would agree 100% on. There are arguments both ways on the "proof" of the flood, creation, Jesus' miracles......etc etc, but I agree it takes faith to believe in them fully. Proof of God's existence, however, is all around us. It would be a much much much larger leap of "faith" to assume that everything we see, our mere existence, our ability to reason, emotions, and everything in between merely "appeared" one day from nothing. It's really a matter of symantics as to what you want to call it, a "higher being" a "creator", "higher power", "Allah" or "God", but labels aside, it is really really difficult to deny the existence.

Hey, I am inclined to agree with you. I just get annoyed when I hear people from either side say "this is the way it is" when the reality is that no one knows.

Just fuckin' around. I've grown up around religion my whole life and am always entertained by people's thoughts about it. My favorite part of it is that everyone makes valid arguments and good points from both sides, yet most people (like myself in most any other conversation) are too damn stubborn to acknowledge the other side.

Its quite humorous to watch from the outside.

That actually sounds like you are arguing against yourself. Nobody arguing the case of evolution would claim that anything appeared one day from nothing. Evolutionists believe that the process of evolution is natural and has been happening for billiions of years. Creationists believe that something "merely 'appeared' one day from nothing."

I have no problem with religion, belief in a "higher being," or any of that. It is even possible for evolution and religion to coexist. There is a lot of evidence for evolution and it is a widely-accepted theory in the scientific community. To me, it is really, really hard to "deny its existence."

I'm not referring to evolutionists, I am referring to those who would deny the existence of God, or claim that there is no "proof" as someone did when I started this rant. And yes, evolutionists believe that things have evolved for billions of years, yet have no explanation as to the origin of the original evolutionary being. For something to exist as we do, or as the original evolutionary bacteria did, it had to be "created" therefore requires a "creator".
