ok, so as ive posted before i am forced to go to church and all, well today i was going into the youth wing of the church and the usual greetings, same people etc. except today someone brought up something about all other religions are stupid, and everyone in them is stupid. well this made me very mad (because yes i am an athiest), and i said: what makes you so certain that god is true, and i tried to explain that they were not being fair, suddenly for some reason i was being called weird...by everyone. so i was spending the entire 3 hours i was there listening to people call me weird and trying to explain other views on life. so this is what i want to know, how is having another view on life weird?
@swift the people who said you were weird said it beacuse they were probably raised that way and probably didn't really know what they were talking about.
@strategy guy there are two possible answers to your ice age question one is that because at that time the world couldn't communicate with each other the people who originally wrote the bible didn't have access to the information to the ice age or The after the great the earths volcanoes reawakened and for several years would have been stuck drifting in the earths atmosphere reflecting the suns light back in space therefore cooling the earth enough to create an ice age.
Actually there is historical proof that Jesus was a real man who did extraordinary things, there just is no evidence that says he is the Son of God. That, my friend, is when religion/other beliefs comes into play, and you personally have to decide what you want to believe.
As far as the Ice Age goes, I do not really care if it is not mentioned (I do not think it is); just because something is not mentioned, does not mean that the Bible claims it never happened.
I have a story for you on the topic of religion- My church pastor took a trip to Guatemala to start up his second church and preach to the Guatemalish (Guatemalans) He saw a dying man and prayed over him right as he fell to the floor, seemingly dead. Now can you explain to me how he got back up 10 seconds later and started dancing for joy?
I didnt read over my post well and since there is no edit button I need to say that in the beggining of the second reason it needs to say After the great flood the earths... then the rest seems right I could be wrong though writing has never been my strong point
1. a miracle 2. he was faking it 3. it's a made up story 4. he wasn't really dead. maybe he fainted, maybe he had hypoglycemia, epilepsy, narcolepsy, etc. Was a doctor there to verify?
I imagine it was choice 4, but I wasn't there, and I don't have his medical history in front of me.
Shouldn't there be a special forum section for people to post religious topics? Because this topic title is not related to the posts anymore, which is misleading to people looking for threads to respond to.
Well what i mean is he passed out and then woke up like 10 seconds later. I think it was choice 1, cause my pastor got p.oed becasue i lied to him about nothing once
