Since I have joined Armorgams . . .I see a lot of Atheists and their threads about why people believe in God etc . . . I wanted to start a thread about the bible and christianity.
The purpose of this thread is to debate a different book of the bible each week. We will discuss lessons, morals, and different stories.
We will have friendly debates. Please . . . if you are atheist or of other beliefs . . . you may discuss in this thread, just PLEASE no fighting, flaming, spamming, trolling . . . etc
This week we will begin from the beginning . . . .Genesis
In my view I cannot adhere to too many illogical behaviors a few is alright but to take it to a point where it can harm oneself or others is the worst action anyone can do...that is if you where to apply illogical reasons to uphold an idea then the world will destroy itself...
This is one thing that I don't get. According to the Bible several times, God will always be more powerful then Satan. Even in Revelations, its foretold that the godly war between God's army and Satan's army will be won by god. How does that make Satan more powerful? Satan isn't omniscient. Satan can't make people. Satan can't make **** if he tried. It seems the only thing he can do from the stories in the Bible is deceive people, torture them, and in the end kill them.
Been wondering we often say god has three defining properties omnipotent: all powerful omniscient: all knowing omnipresent: all seeing
Where in the bible does god show such properties?
How do you know that god created the world? Why can't Satan? The bible is just anti-satan propaganda. If you praise him, he'll reward you by going into hell and become his servant. It beats being tortured by him...
This is another good question how do we know God is the all loving one. History is written by the victor.
Desert, I've been doing that for almost a year now and I'm still disrespected by snotty atheists.
( cries) MOMMY! kids are being mean to me on the internet!
I'm crucified like my own savior
so theoretically; you should be back in three days then.
I'm done.
K' see ya. I hate to say it kirby, but you are almost as bad as zep or christianpatroit when it came to flaming and everything else that makes debating not fun at all. Debating is just a way to exercise your mind; not a full on verbal assault against people.
kirby posts like 4 good quality posts, then He gets upset and complains/flames and leaves. zep does(or did. Is he banned yet?) the same thing but more like posts 1.5 good posts.
Kirby, I understand how you're feeling; in all honesty, I think I'm way, way more polite on the internet than in real life. The best way to respond to people who flame you is to take a deep breath, calm down, and then respond politely and intelligently. You may not earn their respect, but you'll earn the respect of people like Alt and Desert.
Please come back. I have too much school stuff to do and I won't be able to defend my posts on the weekdays.
By the way, Zep may not have been as bad as he appeared. I know, this is coming from the guy who debated with him more than everyone else combined, but he's like a lot of Christians I know. He's not necessarily stupid, just frustrated and unable to relate outside the faith. That's how I used to be, actually. I don't remember Assui's posts too much, so I can't judge who was worse.
Actually, he's in the Klaus chat if you wanna chat... oops, probably making it even worse..
Why not just talk about whos a troll, who's not, and about cheering Kirby up in the chat room, and continue discussing religion here.
This thread was supposed to be talking about different parts of the bible, and... well, you guys ruined it, so thanks for that. Who knows what's going to happen here in the end....

That's a shame. You bring a peaceful presence to the AG debates, which are often verbal war zones.

I hope this doesn't die out again. I had to necro it once when snazzy didn't show up for a month. We can get back on topic as soon as snazzy gets his act together and posts something on topic.
Wanna know why? Agnostics always win because due to logic AND thinking with an open mind, there is no way to disprove a theory about a god and there is no way to disprove a theory that there is.
I pulled up definition for a- and theist in another thread. Lets look at agnostic and how it compares to atheist and theist. First off we will start with the definitions of a- and theist.
a- 1 or an- pref. Without; not: amoral.
Noun 1.theist - one who believes in the existence of a god or gods
So an atheist is without belief in a god or gods.
Gnos·tic adj.
2. gnostic - possessing intellectual or esoteric knowledge of spiritual things
Again using the prefix a- agnostic: not possessing intellectual or esoteric knowledge of spiritual things
One can claim they have no knowledge of a god or god and still believe in them and one can claim they have no knowledge of a god or gods but not believe in a god or gods.
