In no way does the Bible justify slavery and racism. If anything, evolution justifies it because there are no set morals. Some people have used evolution as a mechanic to say that black people are evolutionarily inferior. The Bible teaches that we're all people, we're all sinners, anyone can be saved.
The crap that people pull from the Bible that says it supports slavery and racism is all twisted and doesn't show an understanding of the context or the times.
The real idiots are the ones who say that homosexuality is okay and call it "reason". There is no reasoning to such a conclusion. All it amounts to is an excuse for homosexuals to continue on living their lifestyle. "I can't help it! I was born this way!" I don't have time for people who believe such nonsense, and I will not tolerate being called an idiot by them.
Its called science and logic.
I find that a poor excuse. Science and logic are fallible, just like every other thing we study. Look at some of the crazy stuff scientists in the past believed in. Earth being in the center of the universe was perfectly logical, right? It was excepted science centuries ago, just like evolution is excepted science now.
We laugh at past generations for their faults and mistakes, and soon future generations will laugh at us. Science =/= evolution.
(In response to people asking how representatives of every species on Earth at the time could have fit into Noah's ark)
DO NOT EVER SAY THE WORDS "FIT" AND "SPECIES" IN THE SAME SENTENCE WHEN TALKING ABOUT NOAH'S ARK
Seriously. Anyone who brings up "How did they fit all the species into the Ark?" demonstrates a gross ignorance towards history and science. The people you're criticizing are laughing at you, doubled over in pain because you don't know your Aristotles from your Aphrodites.
Species weren't classified yet.
Aristotle was the one who started the classification of what a species is, and he wasn't born yet.
NONE OF YOU HAVE ANY EXCUSE FOR EVER QUESTIONING HOW NOAH FIT ALL THE SPECIES IN THE ARK
And seriously, most of you guys asking this question say you believe in Evolution, and lord your alleged scientific understanding over us small-minded theists. But you don't even know the BASICS about science, biology, or history.
Disgusting.
Sup CE. Typing this @ Greece.
Greece was where the dangerous philosphies of "reason" and "empiricism" arose.
Please leave that evil place.

[Despite being linked to the Treaty of Tripoli, he really did post this]
Oh and I'd like to add that I lol that the U.S was not founded on Christianity. Nearly all the original U.S. leaders were Christian. Christianity was originally taught in public schools. The pledge of allegiance mentions God. You don't have to agree with the original leaders to admit that they founded the U.S. on Christianity.
And to be honest, the people who talk about having "unwanted" babies are full of crap. Obviously you did want it, because you got pregnant. Otherwise you would have been more careful.
Without God, there is no point in living or anything else for that matter. To be honest, if I was certain there was no god and I'd have zero consequences in an afterlife... I'd probably be a mass murderer or who knows what. Without God, we would have no conscience, no remorse and we'd do whatever the heck we wanted to because this would be a lawless world because all laws of Earth began with the 10 Commandments. I don't care what any evolutionist/atheist thinks--you wouldn't have things like a conscience and remorse from evolution. Those, among many other things, God gave to us so we'd be different from wild animals.
I beleive in God. How do I know I am right? Let's look at this
Is there any PROOF right that the Lunar Landings took place? No. Are there non-believers? Yes.
Are the non-beleivers of the lunar landings idiots? Yes. How do we know? IT ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE.
Alot of people find homosexuality unnatural and gross. How are the people who believe this any less entitled to their opinion than those who find it hip and cool? Tolerance is a two way street. And if you want to come on here preatching tolerance, maybe we should start talking about tolerance for people who um, want to be with animals too lol Let people believe what they want to believe, and stop throwing around the intolerance card, you call people who dont support your views of homosexuality intolerant but what does it say about "you" when you are as intolerant of their views as they are of yours. Something to consiter.
Think about it this way - what would Jesus do? Would he forgive me, or would he report me for trolling? Obviously he would forgive me and not report me. So unless you dont believe in God! you will NOT report me, and if you already had reported me, will will retract your report!!
Well, maybe we have different viewpoints, but I just don't see laughing about God as healthy. I think there has to be a limit to free speech. I mean, I take Jesus (a.s) as a Prophet, not a God, and I am certain that he would be very upset with the idea of believers mocking their God. I think he'll be against TOTAL freedom of speech as well.
http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/stephen-colberts-vile-political-blackface
Before the Civil Rights era, a popular form of entertainment (among white audiences) was the minstrel show, where white actors would paint their faces (blackface) and act outrageous to perpetuate racial stereotypes and hatred. Today that sad legacy lives on in the form of "comedians" like Stephen Colbert who practice "conservativeface." On his TV show, Colbert pretends to be a conservative and says outrageous things to make conservatives look bad. I find this behavior reprehensible. I find it despicable that anyone who pretend to espouse conservative views just to make conservatives look bad. It's perpetuating intolerance for differing opinions.
I'm hoping to start an online petition to get CBS to change their minds about Colbert. Does anyone here have experience with online petition sites? I know about Petition Online and The Petition Site. Which is better? Are there any superior alternatives to these two?
marriage is owned by the church, and it's not up the the government to decide what it includes. If the government wants to treat people fairly, they can do so under their own system. Infringing on the church is not the way to do it.
To me, ID theory is legitimate and has an enormous amount of scientific data backing it up, while astrology has nothing going for it. In any case, what makes ID and astrology different is one has some legitimate backing, while the other is more or less just for quacks.
Morality is not relative. There is a set right and a set wrong. The only reason people believe morality is relative is because of evolution being taught in schools.
Not that I'm trying to make an argument, because what I just said would be completely absurd and close-minded to anyone who doesn't believe what I believe. But it's absolutely stupid to want people to separate church and state, because for anyone who actually believes in their religion, it's impossible to separate it from anything because it encompasses your entire life.
It's not that I hate homosexuals, I just don't think they should be homosexual. Simple. If everyone was homosexual, the human race would die out. I do believe that some people have a stronger tendency to be homosexual, they are more susceptible, but in the some way some people are more easily angered. Doesn't mean you should be angry all the time.
If I believed there is no Christian God than I would not find anything inherently wrong with homosexuality. I would find it socially inadequate and a bad situation for a child to grow up in though. What do you mean it wouldn't confuse a child? If everyone else had a mom and a dad and one kid had two dads, I'd sure as heck be confused.
What I have a problem with is that if you DON'T believe homosexuality is okay, you're labeled as a bigot and intolerant. You no longer have a choice in this society if you want to be respected.
People want Christians to be loving and accepting. Loving we are (or should be). Accepting we cannot be. Asking a Christian or anyone with a religion to accept a different religion or accept something that goes against their religion is asking someone to renounce that their faith is true.
sat question: how many legs do insects have?
tc puts 4, tc fails
If the Bible says that insects have four legs, then the SAT is wrong and I am write, period ! =)
I do not no why they even made me go to hih school . And I tried to be held back one grade but they let me go on to tenth grade then I got hold enough to drop out. I had to hear the doctrine of evolution in biology tho. but i forgot all about so now I am happy ! =)
I would not survive a year in College unless it was a Bible College . Many of the people like me go there so I will do great . =)
I want to be like this person when i grow up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BYaKAjh_Mk
I will always oppose the evils of athiesm and humanism and intellectualism.
(on the subject of homosexuality and marriage)
For heterosexuals, it is a bond with God. What do same-sexs make a bond with?
I dont wonder why for anything. I know why you guys disbelieve and hate the teachings of God. Its all the same thing over and over again- Self Worship and Rebellion.
Some of what you said is true- i think most atheist reasons are really stupid for not believing the bible- "I prayed to God in this relationship with my ex and things didnt work and didnt see anything", or heres another one i heard from a former business partner "my wifes parents kicked her out because she was sleeping around because of their christian values". So the girl used to be a whore and she blames her parents for responding the way they did.
It really does blow my mind the brainless excuses people have for not beleiving in God.
But anyway, your other point was way off, i dont wonder or have any confusion about it, i know exactly why i get the resistance i get. The same reason Jesus got resistance when he preached and performed miracles infront of people.
[Topic about atheists not having holidays]
Well atheist shouldn't work in the first place since they believe the world has no purpose
Dont these SJW know that normalizing pedophilia is whats next on the agenda? You might wanna go check Vox, CNN, and Huffington Post. How else are they going to learn to live with the muslims in Europe?
Anyway Marie could pass for under 18, its why everyone likes her, its why she is on the cover of the game, its why she was voted number 1. Why dont you go buy your worthless asses some plane tickets to the UK and protest in Rotherham if you give such a f*** about children and stop crying about a video game produced by the cleanest society on earth when you all live among the most vile.
I'm not sure I'd call Japan the cleanest society, especially when, in the case of the Pokémon Anime, they did definitely depict the female characters as sex objects even when they were canonically 10 years old, and besides which, Japan is actually one of the biggest distributers of child porn: http://www.conservapedia.com/Atheistic_Japan_and_child_pornography
However, you are right about one thing: legalizing child porn is next on the SJW's radar whether they know it or not
True pedophiles would, you know, be attracted to people who were literally underage, like, I don't know, those people who actually hit it on with May or Dawn or Serena from Pokémon (who are quite explicitly 10 years old). In fact, Masamitsu Hidaka would qualify as a pedophile since his interview made it VERY clear that he views the girls in Pokémon, all of whom are 10 or younger, as just being sexualized meat for the audience, and with May and Serena, it's extremely obvious due to their having massive breasts.
'all keep waving around MR's manufactured age as if that's proof of non-pedophilia. When at best, it's proof of law-abiding pedophilia.
You're attracted to a character who:
- Looks like a child
- Dresses like a child
- Sounds like a child
- Speaks like a child
- Acts like a child
Etc. The overwhelming number of people meeting these characteristics are children. In fact, these characteristics are what separate children from adults. You're attracted to the things that make children "children." That makes you a pedophile.
*However*, you slam on the brakes if the potential object of your attraction is under age. 14-year-old looking and acting like MR: No go. Exact same person with an earlier birthday: Full steam ahead. That proves you understand and respect the law. Which is really all we can ask of people.
My primary concern is if they are literally children, ie, even their age is indeed 10. I would consider those who hit it off to May, Dawn, Iris, Serena, heck, even Misty from the Pokémon Anime when they are explicitly 10 years old to be pedophiles, NOT those who crush on Marie Rose, who at least is 18 years of age.
At most, Marie Rose would qualify as a manchild, which still doesn't make those who crush on her pedophiles. It's like saying girls who crush on, say, Kefka Palazzo must automatically be pedophiles just because he acts like a child and speaks like a child (literally in this case, since in the Japanese version, he uses the pronoun "boku-chin" which is generally appropriate only for very young children). And bear in mind, Kefka's in his thirties, and it's extremely obvious in Dissidia Final Fantasy that he isn't even close to a child anyway (though since he is somewhat diminutive in Final Fantasy VI, he could look like a child in the latter game).
[first post]
WWII was based on Atheist ideals. Evolutionism (Racial supremacy), Anti-religion (Holocaust). I guess the Atheists are responsible for the most horrendous atrocities of the 20th century. Stalin was an Atheist too.
And everyone knows that Wars are about money. People can use religion as an excuse, but in the end it's about money.
And Muslims are just as responsible for the Crusades as Christians are. Read a ****ing history book before you make an idiot out of yourself.
[second]
So it's the Jews fault that they were nearly wiped off the face of the Earth? If they could have just been smart like the Atheists and not believed in Yahweh then the Nazis wouldn't have been forced to start the holocaust. You're sick.
[To a user who has a signature saying 'We are both atheists. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.']
Out of curiosity, where is this from, the wording implies that you believe in atheism as your God, but I might have the context wrong
They may be looking at it logically, but they aren't looking at it biblicaly.
Ok, black arachnid. My response would be to check the peer review process itself. Being biased towards creationism has effectively nothing to do with peer review really, as national geographic and scientific american have been running blatantly pro-evolution, anti-creation content for some time now. This is why creationists have published their findings in their own journals, respectively.
I get 99% of all that I pray for. Because of this I am very careful about what I pray for. Sometimes I get things in eerie ways. As an example, I was running trash at the local Native American Powwow. I was completely exhausted, so I prayed for my dad to show up and take me home. I saw him literally 5 minutes later. He must have left right after I prayed.
Another example, my dad signed me up for a flag football game and I really didn't want to play. I prayed that I would get out of it somehow. Strangely the rest of my team showed up late and I didn't have to play.
These examples and many others have convinced me of the power of prayer. To those that get nothing from prayer I think you may be praying incorrectly.
I do not care about the "scientific evidence" for evolution at all.
Biblical Truth > Worldly Truth.
For the purposes of this hypothetical, I'm going to assume you have a back yard wherever you live.
If you looked out your window, and saw the grass in your yard was green, but the bible clearly said it was blue, what would you do?
That's sort of the way it is with heliocentrism. We can look out the proverbial window and see that the Earth orbits the Sun as plain as we can see that grass is green. I'm just wondering what you do with the conflicting evidence.
I will get my eyes fixed in order to adjust to Biblical truth.
Why don't you do your own godamned reasearch? You do know that there are actual historical documents of Jesus that were not in the Bible, but instead held by it's own government or something. And also how about lost biblical text? There was a recently found book of judas found a couple years back.
[I'm aware of Jesus of Nazareth. That does not prove God's existence, however.]
So explain how Jesus was able to be raised from the dead for 40 days after spending 3 days in Hell.
[He wasn't. There's no proof of this. It's just a fairy tale in the Bible.]
You just contradicted yourself. You told me he did exist, and now your telling me he didn't do anything like that.
Do aliens contradict Biblical teaching
If that is true than I will deny the existence of it even if it is right in front of me. It will probably be a servant of Satan in disguise. If it kills me than praise Jesus because then I will be in Heaven with Him.
[2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.]
I have a 90% success rate. I am one of the few people who know how to pray.

Scientific evidence shows that speaking in tongues really is the work of the Holy Spirit, who is the third member of the Christian Trinity.
(1 post down.)
Atheists don't care for spiritual analysis. They want scientific data that's repeatable and testable and concrete, which is what I have provided
(When called out)
What you see on TV is just a scam. A lot of it is, anyway. But a good friend of mine went to Israel and was understood by the locals there when he was praying in tongues. It isn't always gibberish.
And yes it is often not understood correctly by the majority of Pentecostals. Speaking in tongues is only useful if there is someone that can interpret it. Otherwise, it's only for personal use. Note that there's a difference between speaking and praying in tongues. When it's meant for the whole church or for nonbelievers, that's when it should become speaking rather than personal praying.
MMF, peligion is what gives us empathy.without religion people would kill with no mercy and the world would be in more chaos than it already is.
Keep in mind that nothing, including God, can be proven or disproven in a final, absolute sense. A lot of you keep telling theists to prove God. We can prove that Jesus lived, died, and rose from the dead. Thus proving Christianity.
[on a poll about if their son had a boyfriend]
I would have to wonder where I went wrong that he would even possibly consider doing this. And if he did, I would forbid him to ever see this person again, remind him of exactly how and why this behavior is sinful, take him to a priest for confession, go to confession myself for my failure in allowing it happen in the first place, and then have both of us do serious penance.
It's a weird thing - society wanting to have consequence-free sex. Yes, sex isn't just for procreation, but it is for procreation. No one should be surprised when you put some flour, eggs, sugar, and butter into an oven and out comes a cake. You can do other things with ovens, sure, but don't act like a cake isn't a possibility.
To me, love is looking out for the good of the other. In romantic relationships, physical intimacy is an expression of love and the natural result of love is bringing more into this world to express such love. To say that this child is unwanted is a perversion of what sex is for. It's a sad state of affairs in our society when we haven't been able to teach people how to love.
[And just because you think [Homosexuals] are wrong doesn't mean your opinion is "the TRUTH or RIGHT."]
I based my opinion on the Bible, which I believe is the inspired, written Word of God. God is never wrong and never makes a mistake. So why would he create people *** from birth? They CHOOSE that sinful lifestyle, just like the career criminal, or serial rapist, or someone who constantly steals and never repents. It's all sin, and God hates sin.
Not a single war in the history of mankind has EVER been fought because of religion.
atheists are trying to make abortion normal every day
and homosexuality is evil read the bible being a homophobe is a good thing
church and state my ass
seeing as how the country was founded by christians, and marriage is about as christian as you can get.
You wanna play the two men or two women getting married is the same as getting married to a fetish. You can't change the fact its the same as being married to a taco.
Marriage is just as much religious as it is a legal contract.
The fact is this: gay "couples" aren't legally or naturally as God created us, legitimate.
Be happy with the fact I put up with your un-natural behavior, I love all people. But I ain't gotta like it. Or treat you special.
I'm sick people acting like they think "oh being a christian means you can kill someone and get away with by asking god for forgiveness" If your really a christian you won't want to sin in the first place. The reason why god did this forgiveness thing is people kept treating religion as a ritiual people would follow the laws of god but the didn't actually have a relationship with god.
Even paul said that being a christian doesn't mean you don't do good works.
You get saved so you can do good works by your own damn logic christians who feed the hungry aren't christians. it's simple a case of you trying your best and letting grace cover the rest.
That's how i see it. Imagine if god thought like this "well this guy stole a candy bar when he was 7 now he's doomed to hell for all entirenity"
Hell even jews practice atonment by sacrificing lambs.
nobody is saying because your saved you should go on a killing spree jesus said it himself"you shall not tempt the lord your god" if your truely saved yo make an effort to do better.
As far as the works of an athesist I've met a few of them and they admit to doing things like stealing as recently as the week before. how is that works when you don't even feel remorse for it?
and if you don't know what i'm talking about i mean i have a friend who is an atheist who literally downloaded roms of games he didn't own.
Would a second Holocaust validate Christianity?I'm inclined to believe that it might happen. I mean hey, I'm seeing some marginalization here and there. There's been a rise of really vocal Atheists.
Too true. I mean, take my niece for instance. She loves to play JRPG's & chick-fighters on my TV on the floor, usually only when it's just the two of us and when she's wearing a micro-skirt and tight panties or spats. I admire the view, she enjoys being naughty in a safe environment, we're both creepy and voyeuristic as heck and I'm not ashamed to admit that.
Hey, Pervy Uncle Atala? What do you think I should play, Grandia II or Neptunia 2?
...whimper...
[So why do you care in the least bit?]
Because I find homosexual couples to be, quite frankly, completely disgusting. It's just my morals and values. Men are made for women; women are made for men. Hence, the difference in genitals, testosterone, estrogen, etc. Excuse me if my morals are a little primitive, but there are just some things that should not be changed (i.e. marriage).
Yeah, I cannot say whether or not you would have died, just that witnesses are very educated about their options.
A lot of the time though, a doctor will push a blood transfusion to get more money out of the patient, just like they will push drugs patients don't need. You may have been misinformed, or your doctor may have genuinely believed you needed blood. There is really no way to know.
[A user points out why this is not the case.]
It's been my experience that the healthcare system(in general, at least in the USA, doctors included) is extremely corrupt. And yes, it is intentionally disrespectful because I believe those specific doctors have undermined their own honor.
That part about them pushing it onto you is absolutely not representative of my religion, just my personal experience.
Shadow needs to get his facts straight. No serious scientist supports evolution anymore. The science just isn't there. In fact a serious study of the actual theory breaks down pretty quickly. Creationism isn't based around doctrinal religious beliefs.
The idea that a supreme being either always existed or came into existence at some point and then intelligently created the universe just makes more sense
An intelligently created universe fashioned by nothing....sorry no, odds are good someone you admire in your life is an atheist and believes this, or you grew up with family that thought you should believe in this. The idea that the universe magically popped into existence, MAGICALLY creating anything when it is not a living being and has no intelligence is just garbage fed to you by your professors/family members who are atheists and hate "god" because of something bad that happend in their life
Okay, think of this scenario. !!!!!! =)
What would Jesus do on a Halloween Night with a little girl or boy ?
For example, when He opens the door what would He put into her or his pumpkin ?
Would he reccomend other houses to go to and just close the door ? =(
Would he tell her that He doesn't have any Good Stuff for her ?=(
Would He even refuse to share anything nice with her ?=(
Or would he use thies Wonderful Platinum Opportunity to share His love with her. (By giving a miraculous experience , or His word in the Bible, or something like a Chick Tract, where the child can use the information contained inside it to let Jesus come in to him or her . ) He would also give some lollipop and other candies so the child will have a memorable time while reading the Bible or the Chick tract . =)
That is write , either three of the things in the last choice would happen ! You should also do what the Son Of God would do ! =)
This Halloween , I suggest you participate in a soul winning spree ! Get some Chick tracts or other Gospel Material. (Note that it should be based on the KJV Bible ! ) You can also give your own Good Stuff for the little children as long as it is considered Godly and is related to True Christianity.
Do what Jesus would do this Halloween !!!
P.S It doesn't matter if you do not think I am not serious. We are in the End Times, as judging by the Current Events today. Alot of souls will be lost if you don't do anything. You can go to.
www. chick.com- You can see some Great Stuff here. Bible material can also be read on the site.
http://www.raptureready.com/index.php - You can get more information about the End Times here.
http://www.rr-bb.com/index.php - You can discuss stuff with wise, intelligent,Politically Correct, and Generally knowlegable people here. Seriously , you will read MINDBLOWING stuff here you did not know before. It will prepare you for Heaven and God's Love.
Thank you if you participate to gain more souls to be able to experience His love.
[A user inquires about trying to start a Christian clan for the recent video game Destiny. Jokes ensue, but TC tries to calm it down until...]
Actually, TC, you should grow a pair and refute non believers. Jesus called out liars and flipped tables when he had to. I'm flippin this board. An Atheist refusing to read a bible is the same as a child refusing to eat a new vegetable. You're the hypocrite. I don't pretend to be jerk for fun, I am one. You have absolutely no foundation for your life, or those of your children. Look around you, is a world of overmedicated kids and school suicides your "proof" of god's abscence? What is it? That's called FREE WILL, not the abscence of god. The good news is that when you do decide to let go of your personal problems, Jesus will carry em for you. Is that so bad to you? What is so wrong about a man who only ever wanted to help people? Oh, that guy you knew, that person you loved was a jerk claiming christianity, so there is no god? Keep on sayin' it, but are you certain? Is anything worth your soul? Might be deaf ears in hear, but it's never too late.
Call me a crybaby, but I truly have no trust or faith in the future generations, and in all seriousness, I could see our first angtheist president trying to illegalize religion due to "discrimination" against homosexuals.
Only Christianity though, Muslims and Jews can continue to be bigots all the hell they want for some reason
