@Tahu 1000 What's wrong with my points? :/
Let's take a walk down numerical order road, 'kay?
1.) "The video does make sense. It proves that Christians aren't always correct."
To which Cam de Doofus, just as I did and many others who read your post, facepalmed with much enthusiasm. Multiple times you ignored the quoted list of Znath pointing out that
each question is a fallacy that neither proves anything nor fairly allows Christians a chance to argue their view. Ask a Christian to prove God exists, get nothing. God does not exist? No, that simply is a fallacy. In this case, Negative Proof.
Nothing about the video is proof of anything. The statement "Christians aren't always correct" is more true due to being composed of Humans than because of these kinds of questions.
2.) I believe in God, but I also believe that the church and religions, Christianity included, don't make much point.
Is this implying that a religion can survive without a system of worship, a place to gather, a set list of publicly available rules and history? Believing in a God (and, if applied, the religion associated) without a church is effectively closer to a cult, is it not? I get what you're trying to say. Believe in the God, not in the heavy-handed preachers of it who attempt to make martyrs of themselves and others using religion as a shield. Assuming that's what you wanted to say, next time, say that. Such thoughts are entirely different.
3.) Look at the Catholic church's crimes in the middle ages, when they burned enlightened people and asked money to forgive sins.
Seems you did say it. I'm sure we all agree on two things. Such acts past then were wrong, and such acts past then are very hard to come by these days. The most illogical Catholic Church practice that comes to mind has been neatly parodied on Robot Chicken recently: the thought that simply going into a confession booth and speaking your sin for forgiveness will get you back on the fast track to Heaven. Illogical. But still not in the same scope of inexcusable and counter-productive as the examples provided in your post.
4.) Religion, in my opinion, is bull. I don't need it, if I believe in God.
Then you are Agnostic. Welcome to the club. You believe a higher power made the universe as it is, you're just not
entirely sure you want to believe the provided methods. Maybe it was the Christian god, but the bible itself is full of crap? Did the Greek gods indeed make the world, but tales of them are quite often turned into stories made to scare people into behaving as the church would want? Who knows? You just don't believe in the scientific approach.
Good for you. And I mean that genuinely, few people are born into an Agnostic family, so it was very likely a choice made on your own power. However. That simply states your belief, rather than attempts to provide any new information or insight to anything actually being debated about at the moment.
