Christianity under fire!

no, I don't believe in those.....do you?


it is necessary to believe it took millions of years for life to form if you choose to believe in abiogenesis and evolutionary species development......I don't believe in either......


I expect you realize you have no proof of what you believe, either......right?

I''m not asking for proof. I'm asking for evidence. You do not have any. Here's a question for you. If you had a child who was seriosly ill and, out of one hundred doctors 97 advised on one course of treatment, showing , by historical evidence a high probability your child would recover, would you the ignore that advice and go and dance to the moon because the 3 advised it?

?????......no, he was told to kill everyone in a particular tribe, not in the land of Canaan.....and that was a tribe he was punishing because they engaged in human sacrifice......

Even the children, what a loving god. He couldn't just zap them and make them non pagans? He seemed to do other miracles, but thought children should die?

I have as much evidence as you do.......

You have no evidence that anything you believe has any bearing whatsoever upon a super being or deity (apart from your belief itself). Science has enormous amounts of evidence, from carbon dating, to fossils, the laws of physics and mathematics. Of course you may say that those laws were devised by your god and that he placed the fossils there to fool us. At that point I suggest you book yourself a holiday in somewhere nice and safe where you cant do yourself damage.
To repeat: you have NOTHING. You whole belief system is man made, was tailored for the ignorant of the past and has a dwindling number of adherents. How small a minority will you cling to?

Why does a God need glory, I have never understood this myself.

You only need something if either you dont have any at all or you dont have enough. That's a bit greedy, isn't it? I mean why should a fantasy have all the glory and nice people have none?

Don't know about "all things", but in this particular instance, yes, it's about personal choice.

In most cases, the person being sworn in choose the Bible, but Minnesota Rep Keith Ellison chose to be sworn in using the Quran

You mean it's about personal choice when the Left says it is.

Don't you think most sworn officials who use the Bible are a bit hypocritical? Perhaps they should use a text more appropriate to their true beliefs.

The point I make has nothing to do with YOUR president. It has to do with the legal meaning of the term. Why dont you look it up yourself.
Every time I meet someone like you I realise how fortunate I was not to have been born american.

The point you make has nothing to do with anything except your strange, foreign opinion. The President made a mockery of the Holy Bible. Taking an oath on a stack of gay porn would have been appropriate. And I am proud to know that you are not American. That would have meant one more vote for Barack Obama, and God knows we had too many of those, to begin with.

Science doesn't tell you God does NOT exist. My faith and personal experience tells me He does.

You're looking at this from a completely temporal perspective. Think of children as having spirits that go on forever, and then you'll have an easier time understanding that death here is just a blip.

It's called an affirmation and is quite normal.

It's also called a covenant, a commitment, a promise, and a tradition. But that's not what we're talking about here, is it. The point is, there is an inconsistency in using the word of God to make your oath when there is no way in hell that you would open the inauguration with a prayer to that same God.

Would a god that had these children senselessly slaughtered allow them to go on forever as spirit children? This makes absolutely no sense.
