Why don’t you go tattle?
I can not defend your strawman creation.
The existence or non- existence of God is IMPOSSIBLE to prove. If I state that it is IMPOSSIBLE to prove God's existence or non-existence then I am NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT asking **you** to do the IMPOSSIBLE!
Is a “DUH” needed here? Gee! I thought atheists prided themselves on their logical thinking skills.
Are you using my post merely as an opportunity to throw out a canned talking point from one of the atheist websites?
Maybe the world was created 4,000 years ago or 4 trillion years ago. The point is that the first atom, the first neutron, the electron came from somewhere or something.
One give that creator any name one desires, yet I find it irrational to deny its existence.
Therefore: It is best that government be a limited as possible and as locally controlled as possible because everything government touches has consequences that are NOT politically, culturally, or religiously neutral.
It has been my observation that atheists, are wonderful defenders of government sponsored and paid-for evolution and godless temples of K-12 indoctrination ( oops! “schools”).
My conclusion: Atheists and evolutions are bullies. They just love that government establishes their faith and forces the rest of us to pay for it.
Prove mermaids do not exist, or go back to trolling threads about public schools and pretend you never sent your kid to one.
Because I was wasting my time trying to educate someone who is incapable of learning. I gave you too much credit. I thought that if I explained it in simple terms, you would comprehend. I didn’t realize your limitations.
Well, now you do, sweetheart.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to prove the existence or non-existence of God. THEREFORE I am NOT NOT NOT asking you to do so.
( or mermaids, either!)
Regardless of the religious worldview ( godless or God-centered) one’s worldview is **faith** based. Neither is religiously neutral in content or consequences. It is for this reason that government should be as limited as possible and as locally controlled as possible.
My conclusion: Atheists and evolutionist LOVE government force precisely because they get the taxpayers to support their anointed godless religious worldview. The biggest offender, and most expensive, are our government owned and run godless temples of indoctrintion ( misnamed: schools).
By the way, attempting to discredit the argument by discrediting the poster is a liberal Alynsky debating technique. Only a liberal would seriously think smart Freepers would fall for this. Using this Alynsky technique merely makes the users of this tactic look foolish and immature.
Would you care to point out what in that ad targets Christianity or excludes Islam?
So putting the poster about your Dad in a subway would be ok? :>)
That's not exactly accurate. There is plenty of evidence. I think it is overwhelming evidence. Evidence of history, of scripture/prophecy, evidence of reason, and evidence of changed lives.
It's weighty evidence; the type you'd see regarding any discussion of events that have transpired. Since you can't recreate ANY event in history, you are left with a different standard of evidence than with, for example, a proof in geometry.
Take an historic debate: Prove that George Washington Was a Christian. It really depends on what you mean by "prove", doesn't it?
Exactly right.
One of the loons behind this billboard campaign was on Hannity's show last night. He, and others of his ilk, are perfectly transparent. They claim not to believe God exists, while spending all their time running around trying to disprove Him.
The Bible says we all have knowledge of God. It isn't that atheists don't believe----they're just angry, shaking their fists.
What does it matter to you if I want my child to believe that there is a God and that Jesus is His Son, who was sent for my salvation?
Terrorized?
That is just over the top rhetoric which doesn’t match reality.
What difference does it make to an atheist if one believes in God?
You said that religion does harm. So does non religion.
There is no example of good done by powerful non believers, whereas there is ample evidence of enormous good done in the name of Jesus by people in power as well as ordinary men and women.
Personally, these billboards and such don’t offend me, nor do they concern me. I just am curious why religion has caused such hatred.
Again, it can’t just be because of some “harm” done by Christianity, as there has been much more harm done to humanity by atheists.
Oh my. You know nothing about Christianity. Nothing. First, All sexual sins, including rape, are covered under “Do not commit adultery.”
Your analogy simply doesn’t work on any level. In fact it is downright racist, as in “All middle Eastern men are rapists” simply because they are from a certain region.
Second, belief in Christ as a savior from our sins has nothing to do with getting freebies. It is an acknowlegdement that we cannot be good enough to earn our way into heaven by doing good works. Many people want to believe they can be good enough to ignore the need to accept Christ.
As for not having to pay for anything, Christ isn’t about money. Christianity is about forgiveness, not revenge. The values of forgiveness, purity, modesty, stewardship are the very core of conservatism.
Black liberation theology is about revenge. It is not Christianity.
Thank you. The blessing of our Savior to you and your own.
