Re: Stop trying to point out contradictions in religion!
This thread itself is pretty high on the valueless meter.
Personally, I would actually be pretty interested in a thread pointing out contradictions in say, the bible. Although I'd be more interested in moral/philosophical contradictions than chronological ones.

I agree. But the subject is homeless and will remain so. [/ QUOTE ] Why not just make a religion forum? There is a politics forum, which is pretty similar in nature. It is your site, no need for the topic that seems to intrest you greatly to remain homeless...

Religion has no relation to philosophy?
My Socratic daimon tells me that you are wrong.

Re: Stop trying to point out contradictions in religion!
science is also related to religion if you go back far enough. It was only during the "age of reason" that science and religion seriously split.

[/ QUOTE ] To make it clear, I know that religion, philosophy and science have been intertwined throughout history. I am saying that anything that we call philosophy or science that involved religion, or any metaphysical utterances for that matter, is not actually philosophy or science, but nonsense.
