Resorting to insults, not very christian-like, but it is the last bastion of a beaten man so I'm not surprised. Again, if your faith gives you a reason to get out of bed in the morning, good for you.
I am not a Christian for many reasons, the first and foremost being that I do not see any proof that a supernatural god, or three in one, ever existed. I do not admire or respect the mythical figure named Jesus Christ. I believe that the alleged teachings of a god named Christ simply cannot be accepted by anybody of sane mind.
Go to a doctor and tell him you speak to an invisible man who controls your entire life and that you'll burn in the fires of hell if you refuse to do as he says.... You'll be locked up faster than the average black man in Minnesota (sorry I tried but honestly couldn't think of another relevant faster than lol)
Because I'm my own god that's why. And you can be to. With the power of self love and not putting others down. Believe what you want just be good. Easy.
That would be a reasonable presumption. Sorry if I wasn't clear. It would be after the tower when they dispersed and adapted to different environments. Around 1800 years from Adam to the Tower of Babel. 2200> - <2300 BC. Many things don't need as long of periods of time to form as we've been taught to think.
For someone defending the position of christians you sure don't act like one. Then again, you actually do. I'm out......
I do not accept any supernatural beliefs, whether monotheism, tarot cards, astrology, polytheism, witchcraft, etc. They're all superstitions. I know the difference between Christ and the Old Testament god. I think that the New Testament has done far more harm, than the Old Testament has.
So your saying the first man only came to be around 4000bc.....even though there's pyramids older than that. Yah....sounds legit bro. Legit as fuck. How can you honestly believe that?
Someone want to help me do Ark math? A boat built thousands of years ago, big enough for two of every animal, enough food for two of EVERY animal, cleaning up the shit of two of every animal in the entire world every day? No bolts or screws to hold it together? Just rope and nails? Come the hell on. T-rex running around Eden? Nope.
A wall of biased assumptions and misleading statements in this article. Every one of the points in your article is debunked or explained (by PHD's) in this one simple paperback.
This thread pretty much reminds me of why I don't believe in religion. Christians are usually this predictable. Nothing to see here.
I have had many lengthy discussions/debates with him, particularly about God/religion, and he is perfectly civil with me. I suspect if he thought the debate/discussion was being had in good faith, you would get a different reaction.
As I said, I'm new here. I don't know any of the active members, not yet. I'm having a "good faith" discussion. I just know that after 56 years on this planet, I have seen plenty of "christians" who have personally pushed me away from religion. Perhaps I need to leave this thread as well. In fact, it's a little after 9am, time to blaze away and get the day started. After all, sharing in this stoner community is why I joined. Not to argue about fairy tales.
