We're not allowed to read Dawkin's book. It's been banned because it's blasphemous. The Watchtower Society uses this kind of logic, and since they're directed by angels who are the mouthpiece of God, this is God's logic. The logic of God is so profound that it's impossible to comprehend, therefore we must accept that it's perfect and not question it. How's that for logic?
And as regards to literal physical miracles, apart from the ones recorded and witnessed in the bible, they stll happen today, only in much bigger scale. You don't hear about it on the news, because who would believe it anyway!?? Nonetheless, the dead are still raised, the sick are healed, and the broken hearted restored. Don't believe me, ask the 200,000,000 million Chinese Christains.
If your deist can't do any of those things, that is a very insignificant, powerless god you believe in
"Recently my friend brought his dog (a boy dog) over to my house. I too have a dog that is a boy. I thought it would be fun for them to meet. Lord, I wish I'd never done that. My dog tried to... umm... "lie with" my friend's dog. In fact, I think they actually made love, because they were together a long time before my friend finally brought the water hose and we squirted them apart.
I've asked Jesus to forgive me for owning such a sinful beast. Since I could not explain the nature of sin to my dog, Jesus laid it on my heart to have my dog put to sleep, so it would not continue a sinful lifestyle.
So today I noticed that the new Facebook gift is a puppy in a box and I'm really sad because my dog is dead. Has anyone else had to deal with something like this?
PS - some of my liberal friends think I shouldn't have put my dog to sleep. IDK, what do u guys think?"

As someone who is studying science in grad school, I know that science is bogus.
The Crusades was not an act of Christianity. It was a ridiculous act committed by the Catholics. Don't blame Christianity for the mistakes that the Catholic church made. Same thing with the Inquisition. These were not Christians. In fact, during the Inquistition, a lot of Christians died for owning the Bible in their own language. Who's the history buff now? All of the wars, all of the acts that you're talking about were done by the Catholic church long ago, NONE of which is in any way attributed to Christianity. Christianity does not condone such acts.
[upon having the "No True Scotsman" fallacy explained to her:]
A scotsman and christian are two totally different things.
is there evidence of unicorns being real? No
But there is for Hell.
One man had this vision of being in hell for only four hours, but he described it as such: a thirst unqeunchable, insects and rodents on his body, open flesh wounds, burning, cant' see because it is so dark. Think about that. The guys body was Burning! rotting flesh. He heard many cries for some help, but no one came. couldn't see them at all.
if God didn't exist, there would be no emotion!! Do you think your love for an individual is just a chemical exchange in your brain? Come on!!

some asshole submitted a quote from this group to this site.
Some atheist thought he was funny. Well he wasn't because he is an atheist and therefore he is wrong.
the problem with everyone on this earth is they think too much. Before Satan came into this world our ability to know knowledge and think was not needed because we could feel God. The more people "think" the more they turn away from God. Think about it, it's true. Satan gave us the power to think about the world around us. The more we think, the more we turn to him. Atheists anyone? Am I the only one in the world who realizes this?
Why are scientists out to get Christians? ... why do scientists always try to disprove that the Son of God walked on the Earth. I never have heared anyone try to disprove Buddha or Mohhamed. It's like non-believers are trying to find evidence that supports their theories, when there is documentation that supports the fact that God came to Earth in human form. That documentation is the Bible.
Slavery can come back. fine with me, so long as the people are treated in a god pleasing manner.
If prayer was allowed in school, there would be less school shootings because you will more than likely not kill someone you pray with. Unless most school shootings are committed by moralless atheists.
If there is no God, why then do the most remote countries and tribes believe in some sort of god? because they know that one is there. atheism is only found in the "educated" countries and where faith in God has become less sanctified.
Creationists agree with evolutionists about natural selection and adaptation. This has been observed. However, any creationist with any sort of biology or zoology background will be able to tell you that natural selection, speciation, and adaption are quite different from evolution.
