Hi! Welcome to the religious discussions thread! Before you start posting, I want you to remember one important rule: DO NOT OFFEND OR DISCRIMINATE against people of another religion(or lacks one)! Doing so might offend the person and BoneCanoe might have to deal with this!

This thread is to discuss and to debate theological arguments and other stuff of a religious nature. Remember, it is to discuss and debate, not to FLAME OR INSULT.

To start things off, I would like you guys, if you have the time, to watch this video (more like a movie) called 'Jesus Camp' that I recently found: http://www.atheistnation.net/video/?video/00118/atheist/jesus-camp/ It's kinda long, and I haven't really finished watching it (Damn homework and tests :P ) so feel free to watch it any other day.

I hope this video could spark some interesting discussions about religion! If not, feel free to share some other videos/ add some topics to chat chat about here!

I will permit this as long as we are all very careful how we tread on this subject.

I know "Jesus Camp" by reputation and I don't really want to watch it. My ex-girlfriend came from that world and I have enough memory of being around those kinds of people that I don't want to subject myself to it again. It is a sick and disturbing sub-culture that we have to keep contained.

I have homework, so I guess I will finish the movie tomorrow, since I will be (mostly) free tomorrow.

As people may know I have an exceedingly negative view on religion. However, I am not going to hold it against anyone who is religious as long as they are not in your face about it.

Have you ever encountered an evangelist knocking on doors and preaching? In my country it is illegal, I think, since there are no tele-evangelists and all that stuff, but I am just asking if you have encountered such people before, and what kind of people are they like?

I agree with Bone here, as long as people aren't in my face about it, or want me to participate in it, I have nothing against religion. However, I must say some things religious people say really disturb me, like the Pope claiming condoms spread aids, or a Ja[anese christian who said she 'prayed for a disaster to punish the unbelievers in Japan'...

Thankfully I've never encountered a door-to-door evangelical. As I said in a previous car blog, I don't live in a part of America where evangelicals are predominant. As nearby as 30 miles or so, though, they exist in significant numbers, though even there they exist in small numbers compared to certain western states. You get some people in Philly handing out religious tracts, but they are pretty easy to ignore. Also, televangelicalists are considered a joke by everyone I know.

We get jahovas witnesses knocking on our door frequently.

Well, I'm not American(I'm assuming evangelists are America-exclusive), so I've never seen them. P.S. I do NOT believe in God(or Jesus).

So, how do you mean not believing in Jesus. As in not believing he rose from the dead and walked on water and all that good stuff, or not believing he lived in the first place?
