It is not religion. It is truth. So therefore you don't need proof for the (circle whichever applies: Qur'an, Rig-Veda, Popol-Vuh, Lotus Sutra, Book of Mormon).
"It is not religion."
"religion
noun 1 the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. 2 a particular system of faith and worship. 3 a pursuit or interest followed with devotion.
ORIGIN originally in the sense "life under monastic vows": from Latin religio obligation, reverence’."
Yup, it's a religion alright. Don't you people ever tire of being wrong?
"It is truth."
How do you know?
"So therefore you don't need proof for the bible."
Oh, but yes you do! Unless and until someone, somewhere, can show me proof of angels, demons, world-wide floods, talking snakes, four-legged flies, and a giant all-loving space daddy, who at the same time tortures and murders at the slightest whim, I will continue to call the bible worthless trash and anyone who believes even the slightest part of it an ignorant, credulous, idiotic arsehole.
To be recognized as truth is the very reason you need proof.
I am, however, pleased that we seem to agree that religion and truth are different things.
Just ... WHAT?
Reading that made me lose half my IQ points, which would still double yours. And mine will return to normal levels soon. (I hope)!
Edit: OK, feeling better now. Since christianity is not a religion, you guys owe 70-bajillion dollars in back taxes to the U.S. treasury. So pay up and quit bitching about the budget deficit.

oh...you're serious.
I went to get the definition of truth from Mirriam Webster...
1 a archaic : fidelity, constancy b : sincerity in action, character, and utterance
2 a (1) : the state of being the case : fact (2) : the body of real things, events, and facts : actuality (3) often capitalized : a transcendent fundamental or spiritual reality b : a judgment, proposition, or idea that is true or accepted as true <truths of thermodynamics> c : the body of true statements and propositions
3 a : the property (as of a statement) of being in accord with fact or reality b chiefly British : true 2 c : fidelity to an original or to a standard
4 capitalized Christian Science : god
in truth : in accordance with fact : actually
I don't think I will ever use the word truth again. I also think I'm going to go get drunk...

Has Bryce ever realized that truth is based on proof?
And I love it when fundies realize they can't prove any of the bible to be true, so they just give up and say they don't have to.
*FACEPAW*
*incoherent screaming*
If it isn´t religion, convince your pastor that he has to pay back several years of taxes, which he didn´t have to pay due to tax exemption status. Tax exemption status is for religions only, so he obviously wrongly received it.
It is not religion.
If it looks like a duck, and it sounds like a duck, then it's most likely a duck. You can call it an elephant all you want, but it's still a duck, your claims to the contrary notwithstanding.
It is truth.
Then you shouldn't have any trouble proving that.
So therefore you don't need proof for the bible.
Why? What makes you think that your assertion that "It is truth " magically absolves you of having to provide proof for your claim? If it is so obviously true then why do you feel the need to avoid having to provide proof for your claim? It is indicative of your self delusion and your arrogance. If you want to claim that something as expansive as the entirety of the bible is irrefutably true then you need to bring something more to the table than "because I said so ".
If you want to accept the bible on faith, that's fine, I see no problem with that, millions of people of hundreds of religions do just that. But if you want to to make claims that it is 100% fact then there is no reason that you should expect to not be called out on the lack of evidence for your claim, and if it's true then you shouldn't have any trouble proving that. But is not true and it can't be proven, and you know that.
But hey, why let a little intellectual dishonesty get in the way of your religious agenda?
"It is not religion"
So it is no longer protected by the first amendment and churches will pay taxes?
"It is truth. "
Any chance for proof or evidence the world is flat, bats are birds, water turned into blood? (mind you not blood in the water but water turning into blood).
You win. Everything. Seriously, you just win every-freaking-thing. Pack up your bags people the jig is up. No more arguing, debating, researching. You win, you win.
"It is not religion."
Matthew 26:34 (King James Version): "Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice."
"The work you are doing is leading many people to Christ and strengthening the faith of Christians because you are unable to disprove the perfect proof for God."
You keep right on telling yourself that, sweetie.
"It is not religion. It is truth. So therefore you don't need proof for the bible."
Sounds good to me, or as God's nastiest prophet once said "You have your religion, I have mine."
Exactly, proof is not needed and nor will it ever be forthcoming. Religion is only for those who are comfortable with having a faith in odd beliefs. Nothing wrong with that per se, it depends on what the odd beliefs are or where they lead you astray.
I don't even ask for proof, but a little evidence would be nice. Something to hang your hat on other then "It is truth".
Bryce, does it hurt to be that stupid?
It is not religion. It is truth. So therefore you don't need proof for the quran.
It is not religion. It is truth. So therefore you don't need proof for the book of mormon.

It is not religion. It is truth. So therefore you don't need proof for wikipedia.
"It is not religion."
So I guess your preacher, along with all the others won't mind ponying up all those back-taxes to the IRS. With interest.
"It is truth. So therefore you don't need proof for the bible."
'Truth' = Subjective. 'Truth' = Lies. Facts = Objective. Facts are based on evidence. Facts = Facts. Your 'Truth' = Lies. Lies =/= Proof. Which means the Bible = LIES. Thus God = LIE. Therefore God is a contradiction to himself.
Ergo, God doesn't exist.
Q.E.D. bitches.
“It is not religion.”
Weird how you people will point at ANYTHING, evolution, football, atheism, transgender, and call it a religion, but not your set of rules and myths that codify your worship of The Skybeast.
“It is truth.”
It’s demonstrably a religion.
No one’s demonstrated it’s truth, to me, yet.
“So therefore you don't need proof for the bible.”
Yeeeeeeeeeeah, i really do. SOME reason to think it’s truth.
Confused?
