Scott Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 To the Christians - The Bible says "My people are destroyed by lack of knowledge". I have come to the conclusion that just saying "have faith" is not enough for a hard core atheist. I know that phrase was bogus to me when I wasn't a Christian. I hated God more than anything and people just saying "Have faith" made me furious. It's possible that a personal testimony isn't enough either. I know witches who have a "personal testimony" but that doesn't make me want to become a witch. Perhaps we need more knowledge of history and whatnot to make a sound case for Christianity. To the Non-Christians - I believe with everything that is in me that Christianity is true. Regardless of all the debates about the timing of the rapture or if hell is symbolic or not; all the theological debates. I also believe it can be proven. It will take a long time to read and study all the things I can to prove Christianity is true, but it is possible. I believe it is, I think I can prove it, and I believe my faith will be stronger after I do prove it. God Bless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Posted September 2, 2006 Share Posted September 2, 2006 Scott, you're an avid starter of threads aren't you? I wonder if you're actually going to respond to any of the responses to this one. There you go with that "Non-Christian" thing again. Do you have a hard time accepting the fact that many of us here were once Christians and now are not? Say it with me three times... Ex-Christian Ex-Christian Ex-Christian See? That's not so hard, is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faith is faith because it can't be proven. It has to be taken on...(Wait for it) faith. I'd give you God's cell number so you can ask him to prove himself, but he changed it after I kept drunk dialing him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouroboros Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 To the Christians - The Bible says "My people are destroyed by lack of knowledge". I have come to the conclusion that just saying "have faith" is not enough for a hard core atheist. Correct. Because there's too many kinds of them, it's hard to chose from thousands of religions and thousands of Christian denominations. Lets say you managed to convert me, which kind of Christian Church should I go to? I know that phrase was bogus to me when I wasn't a Christian. I hated God more than anything and people just saying "Have faith" made me furious. Eh... well that's you, but not me... I don't hate God, and I don't get furious about "have faith" comments, but it does bother me when people say "believe in the Holy Unicorn or you will go to the rotten lingon berry pit." If you hated God when you were not a Christian, then you were not a not a Christian (intentionally double negative). Because how the ***FUCK*** can you believe in God and hate him and yet claim you don't believe in him? How many brain cells are floating around in your skull? Three? Do you hate Santa Claus, and Unicorns, and ... oh-oh... You Cute Bunny Hater!!! You hate The Holy Cute Bunny! I knew it! There's so much proof that the Holy Cute Bunny created this world, and you hate her! Blasphemer! It's possible that a personal testimony isn't enough either. Correct. A personal testimony doesn't help considering that I could give one too. I've been on two mission trips. I evangelized from door to door in the city I lived in for a year. I went to Bible school. And a lot more stuff that I just don't feel like telling you, because it really doesn't matter. You plug your ears with your fingers and sing la-la-la-la and think it will impress us. (sarc)Oh, yeah! I'm so impressed! Scott can sing with his fingers in his ears. Hence God must be REAL!!!(/sarc) I know witches who have a "personal testimony" but that doesn't make me want to become a witch. Exactly. I don't want to become a witch either... and I have spoken to one too. Sooooo.... that means that we agree on something. Amazing isn't it? Doesn't it give you warm feelings inside? Perhaps we need more knowledge of history and whatnot to make a sound case for Christianity. HAHAHA!!! Okay, dude, (is it okay I call you dude?)... 2000 years of "trying to make a sound case for Christianity" isn't enough? You need to study a little about the history of Christianity yourself, to understand how shaky your religion really is. To the Non-Christians - I believe with everything that is in me that Christianity is true. Regardless of all the debates about the timing of the rapture or if hell is symbolic or not; all the theological debates. I also believe it can be proven. It will take a long time to read and study all the things I can to prove Christianity is true, but it is possible. I believe it is, I think I can prove it, and I believe my faith will be stronger after I do prove it. This reminds me of the kids movie, The Little Engine, I know I can, I know I can, I know I can... But here it is I believe I can prove it, I believe I can prove it. And humanity and the world is waiting for you Scott. We are waiting for someone to finally give the Ultimate Proof of Gods existence and Jesus as the Son of God and the Savior. ... We're still waiting... ... Anything yet? ... God Bless May the Cute Bunny cuddle you with her soft ears. Alright then. But do you know how many people set out to disprove Christianity and became Christians? I believe I can prove the existence of God and Jesus as being the Christ. IF God is real, and IF Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, then we can go by His teachings to see if heaven, hell, angels, and demons are real.

It will take a long time to read and study all the things I can to prove Christianity is true, but it is possible. I believe it is, I think I can prove it, and I believe my faith will be stronger after I do prove it. God Bless One of the cardinal sins of exploring the proofs (or lack thereof) of a particular position is to first commit oneself to the position under exploration (Christianity in your case) before performing all the necessary research, which amounts to the logical fallacy of predetermining the conclusion. That is to say, one locks onto evidence or proofs that support his position and only his position, thereby locking out relevant evidence and proofs to the contrary. Hence, this is a case of concocting mere propoganda in favor of a pet ideology rather than engaging in credible truth-seeking aka apologetics! And in light of your comments, you are guilty of this cardinal sin against sound reasoning. After all, you readily admit that you are not yet fully aware of all the proofs in support of Christianity--that you must engage in an extensive amount of study to discover as such. Therein lies the problem. How, in the name of objective truth, can you so confidently assume that Christianity is the absolute truth without first conducting the necessary research--research that is not fixed to render a predetermined conclusion. No wonder your faith will be stronger as a result of your "studies"; you've unjustly stacked the deck in its favor. In another words, you've already decided to intellectually cheat! I'm persuaded that I speak for most ex-christians who frequent this forum in asserting that, consequently, you will fail to ever earn an ounce of intellectual respect here; especially among people who've come to recognize that any claims to absolute truth, whether it be Christianity or any other philosophy/religion, constititute the height of intellectual pretension.

Taphophilia Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Right back at ya... You expect us to just take your word for it. Do you have an advanced degree in religious studies like some here do? Have you spent decades studying Christianity like many of us have? Have you read the Bible in different languages and compared the two, like some of us have? Have you even taken any college courses in religion? Would you go into an college honors English class only grasping the basics and debate with the teacher about your knowledge of English? That is exactly what you are doing here.
