It rinses and repeats with you, isn't?

Basilissa has not been rinsed..

You can't actually believe anything you see in a book

So why did you learn to read?

Which brings us back to my earlier point..

Dear Person,

I initially thought that you were only a teenage Troll just posting outrageous images to make you feel superior. I am delighted that I was wrong and that you seem to be a genuine person seeking discussion about Jesus. It is rare to see an atheist who is capable of producing calm and coherent sentences. Obviously, you lack the education and vast knowledge that our friend Mr. Much unfortunately has, which makes him such a dangerous opponent.

Now, on to your questions. You are one of those who require proof of the Bible's validity. Obviously, we don't need that, as Jesus has personally touched our lives, but for the aspiring sinner, such as you, it may of benefit to show some extrinsic proof as follows:

1. Eyewitness testimony. There are the words of those people who actually lived and witnessed the events during Biblical times. Furthermore, lots of archaeological evidence supports the Bible. For instance, there are descriptions of cities that have been confirmed with archaeology. See also Genesis 10:11.
2. There is the testimony of us True Christians™. Our lives have been changed and these wonderful, awesome changes are consistent with Scripture! See also Luke 1:47.
3. Look at the prophecies in the Bible. Many have been fulfilled! Daniel Chapter 2 predicted the Roman empire and much more. For reference, see Daniel 2:34.
4. There is a unique and miraculously consistent nature of manuscripts of the Bible during a time when there was only illiteracy, unreliable greedy scribes and slow methods of communication. See also Psalms 12:6.
5. There is a prerequisite of God for secular logic and science. In science, the concept of evolution embraced by atheists, Catholics and other false Christians gives absolutely no possibility of a mind that could be trusted at all. How could quantum fluctuations in the alleged space time produce a mind that could RELIABLY examine anything?! If evolution were true, we would not be able to trust anything. The same for human, secular logic. See also Ruth 2:12. Of course, the 'logic' of Jesus remains beyond our comprehension.

You seek observational evidence but ultimately what you need is to understand the mystery.

1 Corinthians 15:51
Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

I was changed.


Yours in Christ,

Elmer

Re: All hail my one and only brain cell!

after you said "You really should read the whole thing." i was assuming that you already read it once, otherwise, you wouldn't have said anything of the sort.

And by what i can see so far, you are actually supporting Christians by saying the bible actually count as evidence of God, this is totally the opposite of an atheist...

"The Bible counts as evidence, even if you don't accept it."

In my opinion, you are just playing it. You know, like a roleplay thing. Otherwise, you wouldn't be there.

Atheist fight!



Anyway, I'm still patiently waiting for you to explain to me why the Holy Bible cannot count as evidence, and what is the evidence for your claim that it's all lies.

I'll be here all week.

Re: All hail my one and only brain cell!

Words written by some Jews in a book is not a decent evidence...

A good half of my university texts were written by people with Jewish names (everything from philosophy to mechanical engineering) so you might want to find a different standard. Being a stupid racist xenophobe tends to close a lot of doors in today's world.

...Also, hard to believe you're atheist if you have read the bible and found any evidence.

Where did I specify why you should read it?

[Basilissa]

Re: All hail my one and only brain cell!

Words written by some Jews in a book is not a decent evidence.

So would you describe yourself more like an anti-Semite, racist, or just plain old xenophobe?

Since you say you've read the Bible, I'm still waiting patiently for some proof that it's all lies and nonsense, and therefore that it should not be used as evidence.

Here's my evidence: There is no evidence of god's existence.

The Bible counts as evidence, even if you don't accept it.


You really should read the whole thing.

Re: All hail my one and only brain cell!

I hope you know that the Harry Potter part was only a metaphor, right?
Also, i know most of the part of the bible since i went to a Christian summer camp when i was younger, so i had to read that fairy tale each day for a whole hour.

also, when i told you that i threw the bible in a bonfire when i was doing camping with my father, it's mainly because i had a big pile of school books, magazines and etc. which i didn't need anymore, so i just threw them in the bonfire.

Re: All hail my one and only brain cell!

Ok, if i read a Harry Potter book, should i start to believe in Magic, and Harry Potter himself?

The bible is a fairy tale, nothing more.

The people who read Harry Potter don't make up a huge voting block in this country.


The people who read and believe that the Bible is God's Holy Word do vote, and in large numbers. They put people in office who believe as they do. Those people have control over policies and budgets. Those policies and budgets effect your life.


Budget cuts to libraries can limit access to Harry Potter books. Policy changes can give power to people who can remove Harry Potter books, (and others) from school reading lists and replace those banned titles with materials that serve their agenda.


Someday you may be forced to read the Bible. You may be required to follow its directives in your everyday life or face legal action.


Before that happens, you might want to be better informed on what is actually written in the Bible so that you can understand what sort of world it can be used to create.


Here at Landover Baptist, we know the difference between a progressive Christian and a dominionist Christian. Hint: The dominionists are the ones writing the script for your future.


Also, as someone once said, you can't hate God and not believe He exists. Is it possible that you really just hate your father right now and will someday come to embrace all his values and viewpoints?


That may sound insulting to you, but as far as I can determine, you don't know what's in the Bible, so you can't logically hate it. Presumably, you do know your dad. Therefore, throwing a Bible in the fire in front of him is an act of defiance against him, not a God whose character you have not examined.


By the way, if the dominionists extend their reach as far as they hope, burning a Bible could get you some jail time. It's already possible to put a minor in a special facility for being gay; blasphemy boarding school may be next.*


* Like a Drug Czar is a government official trying to crack down on drugs, blasphemy boarding school will be against sacrilege. But it does sound like it's the otherway around, doesn't it?

Re: All hail my one and only brain cell!

As far as I know, nobody claims the Harry Potter books to be the Word of God. On the other hand, there are millions of people who believe that the Bible is the Word of God.

The bible is a fairy tale, nothing more.

Prove it.

Hint: you can start by actually reading it. Have you heard this expression, "don't judge a book by its cover?" Exactly. Read the Bible, and then we can have an intelligent discussion about its contents and whether these contents are trustworthy or not.

Re: All hail my one and only brain cell!

Wow, Christians really are stubborn and stupid. I am actually losing brain cells when i read what you are all saying, it must be why i only have one left.

Sweetie, you really should try to discover how logic works sometime.

In the meantime, let me inform you that ad hominem attacks are not viable arguments. You failed to prove that Bible is all lies and nonsense, and therefore you failed to prove that there is no evidence for God's existence.
