I often hear skeptics point to the belief in the global flood as a reason to not believe Christianity.

The reason that people don't want to believe in Christianity is because they are sinners and they like being sinners. The miracle of the flood is just another excuse.

I also see "Christian" creationist groups condem other Christians who believe the local flood is the literal interpretation.

More often than not I see evolutionist "Christians" condemning those who are fundamentalist in their beliefs; Christians who actually believe that God made the heavens and the earth and all that in them is in 6 days. The condemnation comes in the form of ridicule from those who refuse to believe what the bible clearly teaches.

It's time we start telling "Christian" groups like ICR and AIG to stop turning people away from the Bible...

It is the doubters who turn people away from the bible. It is the doubters who deny the truth of the bible and insist that the stories in the Bible are merely allegories or myths handed down from other pagan societies.

and tell them to stop their childish, immature attacks on other Christians (AIG recently refused to be subject to review, now there's the making of a cult!).

That is laughable. Who's attacking other Christians right now? Seems to me that this thread is an attack on "other christians", namely bible believing Christians. Making of a Cult? AIG is not even a church! Maybe you should stop your immature attacks on other christians before you demand the same from everyone else.

And it's time for Christians to stop blindly believing everything they are told, just because it comes from other Christians.

What those you attack believe is the Bible. You are the one who is blindly denying the truth of the bible and blindly following what others have told you. If, by "others", you mean Moses and Jesus, then yes, I am more than happy to blindly follow what they said. It will all be explained later. In the meantime I am required to believe no one but God.

Anything else?

You're statements are simplistic and revealing in their ignorance.

For example:

"Christians who actually believe that God made the heavens and the earth and all that in them is in 6 days."

The "6 day" "young-earth" interpretation is NOT literal and NOT accepted by the majority of the denominations and many of the most respected defenders of the Bible. It's a theory that is based on myths, misconceptions, contrasdictions, personal crusades, poor science, superfical biblical readings, etc.

Young-earthism is NOT Biblical

"Who's attacking other Christians right now?"

You are. How exactly is pointing out the obvious backwardness of AIG attacking Christians? Their bizarre behavior is a documented fact.

"What those you attack believe is the Bible."

No, they believe in a watered-down Bible, misconstrued and force-fitted onto personal beliefs that have no basis in reality. When people like them destory the credibility of the Bible by their misbelief, they need corrected.

So keep on blindly following the anti-Christian rhetoric of hillbilly scholars like Ken Ham. Go ahead and keep on turning people away from the Bible.

Or maybe try studying the Bible on your own instead of having other people do it for you.
