EDIT: secondly...

i am catholic, and believe myself as being catholic, but cathloics dont believe in re incarnation... does that mean im not catholic?

Depends if you believe in reincarnation

Actually...catholics see the concept of reincarnation to be heresy...

im sorry but i laughed when reading 'hard''s response to Atyler's questions, you say your god would never ask you to kill your family yet in one of the new testament's most famous passages 'God' asks this question to directly to Abraham(I think, and it is to murder his son)....sorry 'hard' but your clumsy rationalization does not impress..
And you know you have been brain washed by your cult when the only way to disprove it is to die...sorry but i think you have played right into his hands and proved him right...your response to the first question supports the notion that there is no way to hinder the faith of the truly religious as there beleif systems are inherently resistant to any kind of doubt in god; even if someone was to expose the bible as not authored by god (which it has already been to a large extent) you folk would simply rationalize this as further proof and reinforcement of your god, two hundred years ago christians attributed the diversity of life to a 'creator' yet now we  are lucky enough understand that this is actually the product of evolution, however this is, conviently, no longer argued by (most of) the religous as evidence, and a new mystery is used to 'confirm' the existence of a godin the minds of the religous. The 'you cannot disprove god absolutley' arguement has been disposes of and has no place in an intellegent conversation.

Ultimatley it does not matter what you beliefs you hold, if they satisfy and fit into your world view then so be it, however I am deeply disturbed by any mind that finds the stale and sisnter notion of a sky god satisfactory. By the way 'hard'; what does your god look like? where is it? What does it say to you- Does it whisper things to you?  What does it do for you-change events-provide luck? Can you touch it? I usually find that religous people have no answers for these questions because the do not actually live in accordance with their belief, but rather just say them out of indoctrination.

Btw, Nice quotes Matt The Ratt. Heres another.

'Of course god is infinite. God is the infinite amount of nonsense one can know about absolutley nothing'

that's a good talk actually, a bit controversial, but i think dawkins has really come to despise organised religion

Nah, some philosopher.

I think existentialists could be used to promote libertarian values to some extent, although Sartre was an existentialist and a Marxist simultaneously.

LOL.

Your argument would have been impressive if you had shown one iota of knowledge about the "cult" you are arguing against. Abraham- one of the most famous biblical figures- was known as the "Father of Israel" you know, because he was the founding father of said nation. Now, if that story was in the NT how could he have founded Israel? The story was in the Old Testament and acted as symbolism (and almost as a prophesy) to the act which God was to later do in the future- sacrifice His Son for the masses, and He also told Abraham to not kill his son, something which you have neglected to mention.
