I and a large number of people support protecting the unborn and killing those who commit acts that justify execution.

All things are evidence [of God's existence]. Yes AIDS is evidence. AIDS would not be without God creating a world where it could exist. AIDS would also not be is the universe did not exist.

Oil is not a fossil fuel

It should be common sense but somehow this lie just keeps going on and on. What happens to trees and plants when they die? Do they get buried thousands of feet underground near the earths core and become smashed into oil? No they actually decay right on the surface of the earth and turn right back into dirt. Dirt is made up of decayed animal and plant remains but oil is not.

[Is atheism a religion?]

I believe it to be a problem and not a religion!

As I already explained; when we get to Heaven and God makes us holy like He is holy we will see the justice and the right in them being in Hell. We will see how much they've deserved it and, therefore, not mourn their suffering.

The scientific method cannot defend itself, it needs the Bible to defend it. Empirical, inductive study in itself has certain preconditions which can be intelligibly accounted for only on the presupposition of Christianity. The scientific method, wrenched from its biblical moorings, gives no warrant for its presupposition of the intelligibility and possibility of scientific knowledge about nature and history.

(rather than dealing with the question of the literal Bible's valuing pi at "3"... Gottservant would like us to do away with pi altogether)

Let me put it another way. Numbers are symbolic; now, pi is so long that the area it takes up is greater than any circle you could hope to symbolize the circumference to diameter ratio of. How can a symbol be considered symbolic if it is greater than that which it represents?

Do you see the problem now?

No, mourning isn't unholy. The Bibles says there is a time to mourn. But what I am saying is, if you see clearly God's righteousness and His justice, you will be so filled with awe that you will no longer mourn. There will be tears in Heaven. As the Bible says He will wipe all tears away. If you are holy like God you will see that justice has been served!

Because the evil ways would be passed from generation to generation and the cycle wouldn't be broken unless *all* the people were killed. The children would learn from their parents, and so on and so on.

I think that the theory of evolution, if believed to be true, is damaging to Christianity in the many ways, a few of which are;
[...]
3. According to Evolution death, strife, and violence is the natural way of things, and how God created the world to be. Have you ever been asked why God allows bad things to happen, such as hurricanes? If evolution is true than God is allowing these things to happen, and are they are a result of God's created world, not man's sin.

['If you just found out Christianity was a hoax. How would this change your life?']

I would stay pretty much the same, still subscribing to the ideas of Christianity.

However if somehow I came to the conclusion that God did not exist...well, I would definitely take up illegal drug use to try to escape the reality that when life is over that's it.....Yep heavy drug use....that is the way I'd go.

Take your atheism elsewhere, this is a christian website.

On our wedding night, I confessed to my husband that I wasn't a virgin. He was furious and wouldn't speak to me for our entire honeymoon! But I understand his anger, I had given away my most precious treasure, treasure that should have been his that night.

You want "proof", you'll have to wait for Him to bring it back. Okay? We Christians have something better than "proof", we have "faith". Okie-doke?

Leave the "proof" for those who don't believe in God. We Christians don't want anything to do with it, as we walk by faith, not by sight.

God must have erased the evidence of the Flood, so the only place we could find out about it is in the Bible.

I don't know if it's a myth, to be an environmentalist is cheek now like being a homosexual, it hard to separate fact from horse manure.

Astrology is legally considered science in India. The parallels to Darwinism are obvious.

In the atheist mindset... there is no natural reason to have a morality or a conscience. Beyond fear of getting caught and punished, there is no natural, rational reason for personal morals.

Would every evolutionist here agree that the number of generations we are made of should greatly outnumber the total number of mutations that we are made of?

It gets a little old seeing so many evolution theologians (it is a religion), say that the parts that cannot be substantiated by empirical evidence [cosmology, stellar formation, abiogenesis] are 'not part of the evolution theory.'

If evolution is true, why hasn't my mac given birth to a PC?

I mean we all know that PCs are better than macs, if evolution were true, my mac could give birth to a PC.

Atheism technically doesn't work because most atheism teach that there is such a thing as right and wrong - okay right and wrong don't exist if God doesn't because there was no-one to set the rules of what is right and what is wrong!!!!

Do you know anything at all about the 'New Age Movement' and what it consist of?... Darwin inspired Marx, Lenin,Stalin,Hitler and Paul Kurtz (author of the American commy liberal book "Humanist Manifesto 1&2.

Simply put, if you are a liberal, are you really a Christian?

Hence my reason for desiring a conservative mate.

[Ok, so how would receding flood waters distribute the remains of animals and plants?]

By the force of the flow of water over soft sediment (take the eroding of the Grand Canyon as an example) the animals that might have perished in the various layers would get washed out only this time that would get reburied in the reverse order to what they were originally ie the last buried would be the first to get washed out and then find itself at the bottom of the new pile of debris

But abortion and gay marriage is so much more important than poverty!

We ARE different from animals because they are afraid of us. They work for OUR benifit. They exist for us to enjoy. We do not exist for them to enjoy. Animals were not created in GOD's image. Animals lack an eternal soul. Animals are promoters of the environment, the tools of/for the established/created ecological system.

I think this type of sex is proabably immoral conduct for everyone. I'm speaking of both anal and oral sex which we know to be grossly immoral conduct for fornicators both gay and hetero.

Even in a male/female marriage I believe it can become sin when it becomes the end to the means, meaning it is more than just a prelude to intercourse in a marriage.

That is what some pastors have said, and I believe they are right. Sex can become witchcraft and idolatry in a male/female marriage.

[Thread titled "Mister atheist explain these events."]

ever since i was a child i have prayed to god. I have had times where i questioned he existed but i have always found the answers i seek.

But since you like to explain every thing with science and are rithing with anger because you think god is an angry god to you. explain the following events that i prayed for and recieved with incredible accuracy. [...]

i was mad at my parents and prayed for a newborn baby brother with a hairy butt crack so it was hard for them to change his diapers. it happened a year later.

[Why does God allow evil things to happen?]

9/11 and the tsunami, as well as AIDs, is a punishment from God because of the acceptance of homosexuality by liberals. SO you can't blame god for this, blame the liberals for supporting the sinners, that caused God's wrath.

He did it in Noah's time, he did it to Sodom, and he has struck again.

'All the future events will be sealed in a book for them,' according to Isaiah 29. I think this is speaking of what we commonly look at as 'The Apocrypha,' and so THERE ARE MANY who DO NOT (YET) SEE how it's removal is what enabled the evoltionists to put up their whole scheme of a vast geological time frame.

I don't need science, I have Jesus in me that tells me it is true but, saying that, science /mathematics say that it is impossible that Jesus wasn't who he said he was based on the prophecies fulfilled. You have to look it up but it is something like if Jesus only fulfill 8 or 9 prophecies, and he has fulfilled hundreds, the probability that he is God, is 16 to the power of 10
or 160,000,000,000 : 1 ...or.... 160 trillion that he is : to one he isn't!

I got a few Christians who believe that God created the world through evolution.

1) Where did sin come from?

2) When did Satan fall from Heaven?

3) God created the plants on the third day and the sun on the fourth day. Awful hard on those plants to wait for the sun for billions of years.

4) Evolution teaches us that we are animals. Why is it that High-School Biology teachers teach us that we are animals and then wonder why we act like it?

5) Do you truly believe that death was in the original plan of God?

6) When God looked at His Creation on the sixth DAY and said it was good, was Satan controlling the earth and was Adam standing on a bunch of dead things?

7) On the sixth DAY, God gave Adam dominion over the earth. Was Satan ruling then? If so you have a real problem there over who controlled the earth.

Think about THAT with an open mind.

I have believed in evolution for many years but now in my 60s and starting to have doubts. I mean if we look at fish they have always been fish, I have never seen a fish turn into a bird. Also when I went to the zoo a few weeks ago I asked myself if we evolved from monkeys then why are these monkeys still here, surely if evolution was true then monkeys wouldn't be about? But they are, so it now makes sense to me that man did not evolve from the monkeys.

I am also skeptical about ants, was there really a common ancestor, if so what was it? A mini ant? But ants are already small. Also it's hard to vision sea plankton evolving from a rock because that's what evolution says, it says organisms came from matter and rocks originally. Sounds like a fairy-tale to me. I used to be an orthodox Christian but now I'm a spiritualist. There are cases of ectoplasm spirits telling humans in the séance room that evolution is a hoax. Am I on the right path? Are the spirits right and evolution is a hoax?

The only people that go to Mars are people that think man came from a fish or monkey. Like it or not.

well, we have had people in our church having their cavities [supernaturally] filled with silver/gold when there was an annointing for healings.

Let me ask you something. If you are an athiest why do you condemn Hitler. The concept of good and evil is defined in the Torah, The Old Testament, The Septuagint. If you do not believe in God why should we have love? That is an oxymoron! We should murder, rob, rape and pillage to the best of our ability. Remember now, we are animals. We evolved from frogs and lizards. What is the Law of the Jungle? Survival of the fittest. That means if I want something I take it!... The Romans had the right idea, if your an athiest. To make us happy on earth, man wants power, glory, worship, wealth. Anybody that stands in our way, throw them in the gas chamber, cut their heads off, torture them, why don't we... For married athiests, let me ask you this. If I like your wife, I can just take her. If you stand in my way, I can just strike you down. Remember this, I am an evolved animal and I have no one to answer to. Can you comprehend that concept? With that concept, you can boil and eat your parents when you get old and strong enough.

Shapes prove there is a God!

Okay, I had one of my crazy thoughts driving home this evening. Has anyone else ever noticed that things that God created are circular or curved, but things that are man-made are not circular. Okay, just for fun, poke holes in this crazy idea of mine. Lets see what we come up with.

If you think Gay Marriages should be made legal then I suppose the next thing will be marriages between humans and animals, after all if the poor doggy the man is married to runs out into traffic, the guy is gonna want compensation *rolls eyes

I belive once you get to heaven your earthly memories (the bad ones) desapear

Drunkedness comes to mind. If you're drunk out of your gord, and you end up doing something that you wouldn't normally do, or allowing something you wouldn't normally allow, IT'S NOT RAPE! If you're out of your head (by your own actions and not a date-rape drug) and cannot say no, it's your OWN FAULT for getting that way. Don't expect me to lock a man up because he took advantage of your stupidity, if you didn't tell him to stop.

[After someone posts a link to studies indicating <A href="http://www.gem-werc.org/resources.htm">Christianity is faltering in well-educated countries</A>]Nah, in the competition for Truth, atheism is a loser. As moderninity brings more health and education to the world, Abrahamic theism grows right along with it, and atheism loses power at every turn.

[who, exactly, are these americans you (apparently) are proposing be executed as well?}

The ones that hate America because it is a Christian nation founded IRREFUTABLY on THE BIBLE.

Anyone who doesn't agree with that is clearly a traitor and should be executed as a war criminal. Its just that simple, obviously. I'm just suggesting we start with the most egregious offenders: sodomites.

As I said recently somewhere, probably in this thread, without any scientific knowledge, the evidence for God is apparent in the creation. With scientific knowledge, the evidence only gets more overwhelming, despite what the naturalists would have us believe.

[On tree-ring dating]Wonder how much the guy who kept track of all of the tree's birthdays got paid? He was there when it was just a seed, right?

[Replying to 'cat are not horse ancestors']Thats a cowardly cop out. It doesn't matter what two animals you use, if one is the ancestor and one is the predecestor then evolution has to explain why the predecestor has gained DNA and lost old DNA.

I wen't from blasphemy to believer. I DO NOT wan't to goto hell!

It is God's will that Priests should be celibate. Excuse me, are you questioning the authority of the Holy see? They are a lot wiser and closer to God than you and me, and you should respect them and carefully listen to them instead of questioning the righteous doctrines of the church.

You sound like one of those ultra-modernists who have made so many good catholics go SSPX. Don't tell me, you believe that the inquisition was wrong too, don't you?

Liberals: What's your evidence that the Bible is... ...not the infallible and inerrant Word of God? Please just post your evidence. Thanks!

Could Evolutionists Admit One Thing????

They are so wrong... They can throw around big fancy words, but really have no clue. Where would we be without you? Do you feel ashamed that you have to lie to get evidence or bend it until it breaks. Your arrogance is unbelievable!
