Forums → WEPR → Why Smear Christians

I have never referred to Christians as stupid. I dislike religion as a whole, which usually comes across when I get into a debate.

However, in the case when you're debating and your opponent pulls something from the bible as proof, it's almost a matter of principle to ridicule them.

Isn't the inverse exactly exactly true as well. There are a lot of decent Atheist or secular organization that do plenty of good that take donations of money and use it for to feed hunger people, but they might take some of the money off the top to buy pamphlets and use them to promote Atheism.

Have any of you ever asked them why they believe such things?

Furthermore, not everyone who claims to be a Christian is genuinely one

Why is it that the credibility of the Bible has been argued for so many years when the Magna Carta was never put up for discussion? Or the Declaration of Independance?

What makes someone a "true Christian"? Far as I can tell the requirement are to believe Jesus was your Messiah and to hold a belief in the existence of the Abrahamic God. How you follow the doctrines it's all based on vary greatly from there.

I don't think these are comparable to the Bible.

I can see how you would compare the Bible to the Constitution, however the constitution can evolve and change with the times. Something the bible is incapable of.

Correction; Judicial Branch, not legislative

Give me five examples and I will refute each and every one.

I fail to see what that has to do with the topic at hand.

To answer your question however, there are certain things that are needed no matter the time period. The check is there to prevent the formation of an elite group that controls all aspects of legislature without question.

Take your pick.

First, define to me what you mean by 'messiah'

Holding a belief is not all there is to Christianity, and the Apostle's proved that with every heretic they refuted.

And why would that be? Fine then, if not the D of I, then how about the Constitution?

We smear Christians because they are mostly the people that is standing in the way of equal rights for Homosexuals, choice, and the establishment of other religions.

And yet the Church remains! And the Roman empire who went through crazed Emperors, power hungry kings, and greedy senators and fell. The Church has gone through harder things than any political entity be it personal matters and persecution, but has survived through all the ages and will for many more years.

I want your words Mage, not someone else's.

Why must you people constantly

point out flaws and fallacies in their logic and in the Bible

Because there are more Christians on AG than any other religion?

We could. But would it matter? It's still religion. I also haven't seen a Muslim, Hindu, or Buddhist debate over their opinion that their religion is best. It's always Christianity. I also get the sense that the Bible has the most fallacies. But that's just me.
