Did I say don't discuss it? No. I'm making an observation and a guess on the outcome of Einstein's letter. But it seems a lot of people here, when it comes to religious postings on Bored Panda, wants to use it to bash others who don't believe the way they do. There doesn't seem to be much discussion going on, just yelling.

@Nosfentor that's not what confirmation bias is, you're using the term wrong. Stating that religous debates rarely if ever result in someone changing their views can only really be the opinion of someone who has a confirmation bias if he's ignoring all the cases in which these debates do end with theists/Atheists changing their minds which you don't really see happening. With all that said I do personnelly like these sort of debates.

Anarkzie: That was a typo actually. Got mixed up responding to someone else.

Misterscooter: There are a lot of people who benefit from these kind of discussions. Myself included. Did it ever occur to you that these type of debates make people think critically about these serious topics? If you don't like it, go read something else.

Just like any of y'all can't convince me that god is real. I left the religion after being told to pray for forgiveness after I attempted suicide. I mean, who says that to a 12 year old? 'god' never helped me. A cycologist did. Science people. That's what's real.

God told me that i have to smite all these peope. it is gods word therefore I have no responibility

Maloney - I could probably unconvince you

Oh gosh yes god pursuaded someone to execute his oldest son. today he would have been tried for murder but hey ho - it's god so its fine - NEXT?

god didnt have words - or did he?

Then you are close minded and not worth discussing this topic with.

Misterscooter: Wait, he didn't call you an ignorant bigot. He said just because you are religious doesn't necessarily make you a bigot.

How did you go from my observation to calling me an ignorant bigot. I'm talking about the nature of debate that usually happens when discussing religion in public forum. Your comment seems to reinforce that.

C: Which they do all the time. It's not our fault that these people cannot keep their batshit crazy beliefs to themselves.

Wow. I don't think I was disagreeing with anyone here since I didn't come down on either side of the argument. But you obviously saw something in it that you disagreed with. Seems to prove my point.

I was merely agreeing with your statement and pointing out that you are stating nothing new, either. You can call that a win if you want to. It's all good.
