[Deanna: "How do you know your religion is true? (Nice getting the church to talk for you :P) Here's the hard part. You cannot use the bible."]
Because you can see the good in it, look at all the other religions, they are require you worship idols, give of yourself till it hurts, you must work for your salvation. Or you must kill everyone else who does not worship your gods etc. Christianity is the only religion which is free from all the crap.
lol, I think you missed the point of the deviation - still, nicely put from an evolutionary viewpoint.
Isn't this partly using the same 'fact' that we're also very closely related to the banana?
Besides, if we are 'Primates' like the chimp and the monkey, then why aren't other primates allowed on passenger airlines? Isn't that being racist?
Christianity is not just a religion...well rather, it's NOT a religion. It is a relationship with God. I only defend Christianity...especially since nowadays people are trying to modernize Christianity into something they believe is more suitable. (Ie...taking out scriptures, misinterpreting scriptures, that stuff.)
...in short I'm a defender of my faith.
Also, you can't tend to blame the crime rate on Christians. For starters, atheists are more responsible for hideous crimes towards any person that has faith in God...(remember Columbine?)
Ever since the system removed God from public schools, school shootings increased dramatically.
And further more, Christianity teaches that one should obey the law; not go about violently attacking or killing.
Well, I for one can prove, beyond reasonable doubt, that G-d exists...
First though, you can't question or discount someone's belief anymore than they can set it before you as concrete fact.
When I was growing up, I went to religious school at my synagogue every Sunday. One week the Rabbi took questions from the students. It just so happened that there was a thunderstorm outside that day at that moment.
Eventually he got a question that asked if G-d really existed (these question were all hand written and pre-submitted).
After he had read the question allowed... but before he could answer it, there was a bright flash of lightening, followed by a loud rumble of thunder. Let's put it this way... after that he did not bother answering the question.
No I mentioned it. Since God made everything in the world around us, technically photography is stealing his artwork, so all photographers should just have their galleries deleted unless it was a photo of something man made.
Yup, all demon possession is actually epilepsy. Epilepsy inherently causes people to scream at the top of their lungs and curse God any time His name is mentioned. Epilepsy just hates the name of Jesus, did you know that? It's in all the medical journals.
Look. If all you're going to do is parrot whatever you've read on your favorite "I h8 Jeebus" site, you can post that garbage in your own gallery or journal. I don't have time to personally debunk every myth that comes down the pike, especially when the person pushing the myth has no genuine interest in receiving an answer.
When you choose to be sincere, I'll choose to be sincere
There's nothing well-established about evolution. It falls apart more every day while creation science improves.
If you were a Christian you would believe God's Word, which says this of creation: [link]
God's Word hasn't changed and neither will my position. You can't call yourself a follower of Christ and salad-bar your way through everything he says, picking out the parts you like and changing the parts you don't. If you don't believe the first few words of the Bible then put it away. You're not ready for the rest of it and you're certainly not ready to sell out to God and fight in his army.
Noah (according to the Bible) was around 900 years old. I bet he was pretty smart. Heck i bet he was smart enough to design a "moon hole" Whats a "moon pool" you ask? A moon pool is a large hole in the middle of the ship it relives stress on large wooden vessels, especially when they crest large waves. Also it would circulate air, think about it, what did Noah have in the basement eh?
Noah also had drogue stones to act as stabilizers to keep the boat from capsizing.
Yes, indeed. I believe with all my heart that if Christ commanded the rocks to scream out, they would. In fact, the Bible says that a whale swallowed Jonah; and I believe it. But if the Bible said Jonah swallowed a whale...I would believe that too.
I am a Bible-believer to the very end.
Umm they can make coal and oil in 30 minutes in the lab.
There is ample evidance that suggests that man walked with dinos.
Yeah today there is, gain we don't know how the animals lived back then. Don't you believe in adaptation? (evolution) lmfao
Nope, i am just trying to educate the deluded.
(Your clearly anti-gay, and brainwashed by christianity.)
And proud of it.
But if it [evolution] IS real, then...
*There's no distinction between man and animals, so there's no right and wrong
*There's no purpose in life, since evolution is undirected
*People have no souls, and so you can't go to an afterlife
*There is no God who could have made things, because evolution says things developed by themselves
Do you see some startling problems with following the trail of ideas?
{Actually, the statement that we came from bacteria is abiogenesis which has yet to be successfully replicated. Evolution tells how species change and nothing more.}
Well it's imposible for something like a bacteria to actually do that. Everything had to have been made by a supior force also know as God. It's imposible to have a half developed lung or heart.
{Nothing is impossible if you can DREAM |3
But really, some people would probably say the same thing about your god. I mean, the whole notion that a race was sustained by two people(one created from mud, the other made from a rib) and loads of incest sounds a lot more like mythology than the notion that things can adapt and change over time.}
First off it's God with a capital G and second Adam was made from the dust of the earth not mud. And who knows maybe God made other people after Adam and Eve after the fall of man. Plus nobody knows how the mind of God works.
I'm trying my best not to use any big words for nonchristians can understanding me.
"while we may disagee with the beliefs of atheist, it is NOT OUR PLACE to tell them to go hell!"
But it is our place to tell them they are going to Hell.
[Comment on a deviation about the subject of a woman needing an abortion in order to save her life]
When god does not give you a choice you die like he intended. abortion is not natural.
[In response to a long-winded, incredibly well-thought out comment on how evolution isn't anti-Christian]
DO YOU HATE CHRISTIANS THIS MUCH?
[In reply to a happy atheist with loving relationships, etc.]
Okay maybe you do have love.
But it's not the love I know. a love that is immortal and will transcend this short life. thats the love I believe in. You can have your so-called "Love"
You donate to charities huh? Work in communities...as a volunteer? morals, and you are happy? how long will this last for you? hopefully one day you will wake up from your delusion before its too late.
Don't talk to me about your worthless material possessions and your so-called happy life. I would trade your life for the one I live any day. and the sad thing is I don't think a person like you could ever understand why.
Allow me to explain anyway even though I'm sure you will be unable to grasp this simple concept:
It's all just dirt. Lousy dirt. money, your friends, your home, your family. all just dirt. and you will lose all that you have gained. because none of it is real. none of it will last forever, but I don't need to explain that to you. you will find out for yourself.
My picture states the rewards you will receive for all these "wonderful" community achievements you have amassed in the end.
oh I do pity you. very much so.
"I'm sure that dictionary would be all but impossible to find in a school today. But there was a time years ago, when Bible reading and prayer was actually part of the public school curriculum."
[Thank goodness those times are gone. School is secular because not every child is Christian, and shouldn't be required to participate in the religion to become an educated person. If people want religion in their education they can go to a private school focused on that.]
"Have you ever looked at the statistics of youth related school violence since God was taken out of the classroom? So is it any surprise that Eric Harris, on the day of the Columbine killings, wore a t-shirt that read "NATURAL SELECTION"?"
[Referring to J.K. Rowling]
Because she's a member of the Church Of Scotland, believes in God, and does a lot of good things? Sorry, that doesn't make anyone a Christian.
the magority of americans are christian.
seperation of church and state was put there to keep europe from taking america through the catholic church that's all.
and god may be old but he's still modurn. he's lasted 3000 some years sofar that's perty good for an ancient supposidly fake being eh.
Evolution and pagan religion go hand-in-hand since they have the same polluted source. In fact, evolution is really a pagan belief system that rejects the God of the Bible for a "god" of their own making. Whereas pagans chose to worship creatures rather than the Creator, evolution glorifies the creature and rejects the Creator. Both pagans and evolutionists look to nature itself as the foundation of life.
Because liberal thinking WORKS.
Who cares if abortion is inherently racist and is destroying the family as we know it? It WORKS!
Who cares if easy-access divorce and gay marriage destroy the sanctity of marriage and the importance of child-rearing? It WORKS!
Who cares if putting kids on "behavior mod" drugs makes them grow up to be destructive and borderline insane? It WORKS!
Who cares if legalizing marijuana would increase the influence of drug cartels in the U.S. and increase the number of car accidents due to DUI? It WORKS!
Of course none of these work. The only reason why liberals constantly push them is to see who they can sucker. Of course, in a world where the liberals govern the media and control our TVs and schools and other media outlets, it's pretty easy to create an idiot.
No, religion isn't about trying to prove science wrong. The Bible itself is a science book, accurate in every way.
The theory of evolution basically says that lightning struck a mud puddle billions of years ago, and out flew a fully functioning 747.
I don't believe in atoms. There isn't sufficient proof for them.
Youre preaching to the choir here, it is not we who violate these things, but YOU. When did I ever advocate the declaration of an official religion? Wait, that's right, I didnt. I do believe I condemned the one sided endorsement of atheism at the expense of all other belief systems.
"The Free Excersize Clause" is continually violated by leftists and evolutionists, who one sidedly preach evolutionism non-stop and continuously in the public media, and in the public schools, while never mentioning the alternatives except in ridicule. What if I resent you atheists for using my tax money to try to convert MY kids to YOUR religion? See the error that you people have, is that you somehow assume that atheism is a neutral position. Even if you could prove that atheism is not a religion, then at best it would be a position of anti-religion. Find in the constitution where the government is supposed to endorse atheism and/or pantheism and then we can talk.
“But I'm sure a big patriot such as yourself already knows these things.”—And yes, I do know these things kiddo.
The Treaty of Tripoli is irrelevant because it is not one of the founding documents. I have seen it before because another one of your people tried that on me about a year ago. Anyways whatever point you were trying to make is moot, I suggest you review the Declaration of Independence, which outlines the reasons for the initial dissent, as well as the principles on which the independence movement was based. There’s no grounds for it in atheism, and atheism is un-American, and has nothing more to do with Americanism or freedom than Islam has to do with Persia.
