Which is more likely to exist and why?

I think harry potter because if wizards exist and we saw them they could have cast a memory charm on us, they also have other spells to remain hidden.

just because im christian doesnt mean that I sit inside all day and dont do shit.. oh man i said shit... but back to my point, I really dont mind people bashing religion, at all because it really is a pretty crazy concept, but to call people "idiots" is just dumb. Please come to me and tell that I am dumb. Hell im a tissue engineer working in neuroscience, and you do what? Some of the smartest men throughout history have been religious men, so please just stop with your ignorant arguments

do you know what intelligence is? do you have a substantial understanding of nature and nurture? if you did i seriously doubt you would make a statement as dumb as that one.

i mean, who said intelligence is believing in a higher power that has no conclusive evidence to support its existence?

religion honestly just seems like hocus pocus

I'm not saying that I am intelligent because of my religion, that has nothing to do with it. I'm saying by todays standards I probably have quite a bit higher "intelligence" than most of the kids calling me an "idiot" for believing there is a God. I dont mind peoples arguments against religion until they begin attacking the religious, especially when their arguments dont have basis.. such as "all religious people are idiots"

Jesus or Harry Potter? Some one with a documented life and known relatives or a fictional character J.K Rowling honestly made up not, but fifteen years ago. Solid troll.

inb4 Jesus didn't exist.

i do not agree. it seems like the "cool" thing now adays is to think religious poeple are stupid. I have heard people say like religion has been prooved wrong. I really dont think it has. I mean just because there are dumb religous poeple doesnt mean religion is dumb.

Wizards are cool. I'd like to be a wizard... well, a witch. But whatevs...

I'm still pretty partial to the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Now that's something I can believe in.

He wasn't trying to say the religious people are dumb in general. He meant that they could be smart people but they are dumb for believing in the religion. Your misunderstanding the while concept.

pretty sure when someone says "as long as there are idiots there will be religion"=calling people that believe in it idiots.. therefore he called me an idiot, which I was pointing out that I probably have a higher intelligence than him

Wait wait the question you're asking is whether CHRISTIANITY is more likely to exist than wizards? As in, the religion? Because I dunno man all those buildings with crosses on them would have to be one heckuva coincidence.

Religious people are not always idiots. Religious people are always ignorant. Willfully ignorant religious people are always idiots. If you are looking at this thread, you have access to the internet. If you have access to the internet and remain ignorant, you are willfully ignorant. Religious people looking at this thread are idiots.

Gah, thank you! I'm glad someone has some sense on this website. To call religion the product of idiots is ridiculous. For 1000 years religion transcended national government, and held society together. A truly impressive feat. The Catholic church is one of the oldest existing institutions in our history. It doesn't matter whether or not you are an atheist, but you don't have to believe in God to understand that religion and God are important. To unwillingly acknowledge religion's importance is ignorant.

inb4 another pseudo-intellectual thread with a bunch of 15 year olds who know FOR A FACT that God doesnt exist.


IMHO you should include other religions in your strikingly witty thread title. perhaps Islam, Buddhism and Rastafarian (Although NS rides that dick harder than Tom Wallnutts so that probably would backfire)

Obviously Harry Potter isn't true...I would have been picked if it was...

But seriously, I read Harry Potter for the first time the summer after it came out (I think) which was also right before my 11th birthday...I was so excited...then nothing.

Oh don't worry, I don't need to know FOR A FACT that God doesn't exist. I'm content with the fact that there is no evidence for any such sky ghost. I kind of feel the same way about your god as I do the Keebler Elves.
