"Who needs evidence?" All the sudden the earth was there. End of story."
Not even close to what science states, but it does sound a lot like what the Bible states.
Okay, I know[quote] it really bugs ya'll that other people believe differently than you do but what exactly do you get out of trying to disprove other's beliefs?
It's about finding the truth. These discussions allow me to put my own views to the test and strengthen my ability to discuss those views.
Also if you take notice there aren't any articles with Christians trying to crush Atheists beliefs or Atheists saying anything about other religions, for example Islam which is a religion that encourages violence and killing people that believe differently than them NO thats okay, but Christianity which promotes piece that's BAD.
We have had topics about Islam, Christianity is often talked about more because we have had more exposure to it because of it being more wide spread. If I lived a grew up in and around Islam I would likely talk more about that religion. I grew up in and around Christianity, so I talk about Christianity more.
Also not all Christianity is oh so peaceful.
Believe what you will but don't try to cut someone else down for believing differently.
It's not from believing something it's when it forced on others.
Religion X says you have to hop on one foot three times before entering any building, so the followers of religion X try and get everyone to hop on one foot before entering a building.
Lol! That's pretty much what it's like. Except, they added a timescale of 13 billion years to make it less ridiculous (which hardly helps).
Not even close, and do you know where that time scale came from?
Just because the order in which he made things may not make sense now, doesn't mean it didn't make sense when there was nothing. When it comes to God and the Bible, "Scripture over Reason." We can't understand many things in the Bible.
MAGIC!
We can't even fathom how God doesn't have a start or a finish. It's too much for our minds. Since we can't understand things well, God can do it for us.
Don't think for yourself just leave it at "God did it".
...Are we still allowed to facepalm?
Once sin came along, everything was changed in an evil way. Animals started eating each other, everything started to die, etc.
Oh right magic fruit so when it was bitten into evil waves (like Zordons good wave at the end of Power Rangers In Space) echoed through the world fundamentally altering the genetic structure of plants and animals everywhere.
Or it's just a complete load of $%&^.
I find it hilarious that this guy is saying we are nicer than God when God was the one that let us live in the first place, and if this guy is willing to create a universe more ingenious than God's, I'd really love to see it.
Well can't speak for everyone but I know I wouldn't go and drown my kids if the misbehaved, and I sure wouldn't do it on a genocidal scale. Just for one example.
A couple of mistakes here. Adam ate the tree, and he died the same day, but not his flesh. His soul fell into shambles.
Right that spiritual death part bit again. Glad they make such a clear distinction in that holy text.
"2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof."
Even this verse taken on it's own raises some serious credibility issues.
It seems your underline theme with some of these answers here is to just not think about it. I don't think that will go over very well.
I'm saying there isn't any proof God doesn't exist, thus there isn't any rational reason for someone originally rebelling against it.
There's no proof magic pixies don't exist, so believe in the magic pixies!
There was modern theistic belief before atheism. So that may be true, but theism was there first, thus my comment.
Umm no, your not born automatically believing in a deity. It's something you learn based on something that has built up over time through various influences.
But if you really want to keep on the "it's right because it came first" argument, then you really should abandon Christianity for Paganism.
