★ Citsonga ★ Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 About the AD part, when I mentioned that I prefer BCE/CE, the poster blew up on me saying how anti-Christian it was. He then mention something to the effect of renaming french fries to freedom fries and then qutoing some song about killing workers but the work goes on. I don't get it but that's what he told me. "Fact: your birthday is dated by day, month, and year in relation to the resurrection of Jesus Christ." -Rick Warren Mind: blown. If Rick Warren really said that, then he's a huge idiot. Even most Christians know that January 1, 1 AD has nothing to do with the alleged resurrection of Jesus. It's supposed to approximate his birth, but even Christian "scholars" acknowledge that his birth would not have been exactly then. (And that's assuming that they guy existed and lived around the time the church says he did.) I also prefer CE, but AC is commonly accepted, so it doesn't bother me. I'm more used to AD since I've seen it much more, so sometimes I default to it without even thinking, as was the case above. As far as the poster's comments you're referring to, it sounds like perhaps the intended points were that (1) renaming it doesn't change what it really is, and (2) the facts remain even if one tries to terminate them. Of course, those "facts" about Jesus are quite flimsy and unsubstantiated, but they're touted as facts and believed by many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

★ Citsonga ★ Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 What is this I don't even...!! It makes perfect sense! You see, plate tectonics is a lie from the devil. The continents didn't spread apart over aeons of time, but instead the Lord sent a bunch of water during Noah's flood, so now water covers the lower land areas, which created the Atlantic Ocean that separates the once connected continents that didn't move anywhere. Isn't Jesus awesome?! [/sarcasm] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what is the pure Christian explanation for earthquakes and slowly rising mountains, if plate tectonics is a lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think so. See, you don't know what you're talking about. [/sarcasm again] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what is the pure Christian explanation for earthquakes and slowly rising mountains, if plate tectonics is a lie. I was taught by a Pastor that worshiped Ken Ham and a geology teacher that taught Creationism as a plausible alternative. The earth was together as Pangea, and there was a layer of water within the earth and another that covered the earth in the atmosphere. (hence the tropical climate described in the garden) During the flood God broke apart the earth so the water would rise up, and the water in the atmosphere fell "on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened." Gen. 7:11 This flood was so violent that it pushed Pangea apart, and any tectonic activity we still experience is just mild aftershocks that will eventually stop altogether. Sounded legit when I was 13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoodAwakening Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I noticed this on YouTube comments for the latest Mr. Deity video: "TheStigmadeign @hznfrst If you're referring to Christianity in the US, then you're dumber than I thought. This country was founded on Christian beliefs. The whole concept of our freedom has Christianity to thank. Just because you don't understand it or are too apathetic, doesn't give you or anyone the right to diminish our culture. If you don't like it then get the fuck out. Idiot. e.e" Saying Americans should give thanks to Christianity for the value system we have is like saying the Jews should thank Hitler for giving them a strong will.

RoodAwakening Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Sorry, couldn't quote Bird and reply at the same time on the mobile site ... anyway, just curious whether the person saying that drivel about America being founded on Christian beliefs has actually ever read anything by the founding fathers?. Most all were deists at best, and a few like Ben Franklin kept a fairly loose lid on his atheism. Anyone ever read the Jefferson Bible? Maybe this guy should have before posting that hogwash... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonTheDruid Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 This makes me irritated, while people in FB keep talking about how cute it is T,T besides, I firmly believed that Jonah was swallowed by a WHALE SHARK, not a whale. Since it says he was swallowed by a fish, and a whale shark is a fish and has a throat big enough to swallow it a human if it wanted to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Everything is attributed to either luck and chance, or God's favor? Is nothing you have due to your own work and efforts? Oh right, you work hard and God rewards your efforts with grace and favor... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
