So now you're not arguing anymore that belief in God is automatically superior to atheism. Now you're arguing that belief in Judeo-Christian Scripture is superior to everything else.
This is what religious arguments always boil down to: first they try to get you to believe in God. Then in their God. Then in their denomination. Then in their personal interpretation of their denomination. By that time, whether they realize it or not, what they are really trying to get the rest of us to believe in... is THEM.
It is. Look at its fruit. History bears that out.
The Protestant west has produced among the most civilized and free governments and societies in history. Western Europe under primarily Protestant influence saw the greatest advances in science, education, and social reform this world has seen.
I can't think of one single atheistic government that I would want to live under. Your choices are Stalin, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Kim Jung Il, and Pol Pot. You pick.
I may be missing some but I can't think of ONE atheistic government that has ever benefited mankind.
People abandon Judeo-Christian thought and morals at their own peril. I presume that you're living in the United States and are enjoying the freedoms and benefits that that Judeo-Christan belief system has produced that you seem to now want to obliterate. You'll be shooting yourself in the foot.
Funny thing about atheists. They seem to like to spit in the face of the very belief system that grants them the freedom to spit in its face.
It is self evident, just on the basis that living by the laws God has given us is clearly superior to living by the law as determined by who has the most power.
Now you're arguing that belief in Judeo-Christian Scripture is superior to everything else.
I didn't just start, that has always been my position.
This is what religious arguments always boil down to: first they try to get you to believe in God. Then in their God.
I think if you take the time to go back over my posts you will find that is not the case. My whole point has been to get you to take the first step towards recognizing the existence of "higher laws". The next step after that is to begin the process of figuring out where they came from.
By that time, whether they realize it or not, what they are really trying to get the rest of us to believe in... is THEM.
This couldn't be farther from the Truth.
I wouldn't expect you to understand because it's not something you've studied in great detail. The posters on this thread represent multiple churches and we have very heated discussions about a variety of topics, but none of them have asked you to join their specific church.
