It's a debate, you tool. You're supposed to say what you think. If nobody said what they think then we had might as well just close the thread now.

A lot of people believe in astrology. Is it wrong to say that that's ridiculous?
Not at all. It is ridiculous. It's stupid. It has absolutely no substance whatsoever.

The one thing that is getting to me at the moment is the fact that many atheists seems to be becoming more obsessed by proving religion doesn't exist than religious types are - I do wonder whether through the natural development of such mantras we will see further direct action by atheists in 100 years times to prove their point.
I am not religious, if I had to describe myself I would say I am agnostic for the simple fact that I have never given it much thought, frankly I have more important things to think about - however Mrs Horlock is catholic (believing but non practicing).
We have friends who are fiercely atheist and its often all they seem to be obsessed by, for instance me and the wife never ever talk about religion, however whenever we are with friends it always comes up.

There's no doubt that religion exists. (I'm atheist) there;s a difference between 'religion' and 'belief in a deity'

I wasn't going to contribute to this thread as these debates never end in sunshine and rainbows, but that pretty much reflects my views exactly (although the mrs is CoE). Live and let live. If anyone is trying to inflict their views on someone else then deal with them using the law.

Fully agree with this. I have a friend who's wife is unfortunately seriously ill, terminal. Their faith has been a great help and I see no harm in this at all. Many atheists seem to enjoy in being almost militant in their opposition to religion and I don't think that's on. Extremism in any walk of life isn't good, but I see no problem in people living a religious life if that's what they choose.

Slightly different slant on the debate I know, but I think the current Pope is a bit of a breath of fresh air.

People should not force their beliefs on anyone, whether they are religious or not. I don't care what people believe in, until that belief starts to spiral into the type of problems we see today.
