I didn't say I could or could not. Did I? You're just trying to bait me. Have fun with that.

I think Christians get a bad rep from the 99+% or so of Christians who claim to be Christians but do not follow the teachings of Christ.
Christ had two basic lessons. Love your neighbor as you love yourself and do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Instead, So-called Christians have waqed wars against non-believers, believers of different opinions and rivals for power within the same belief. If all Christians followed Christ's rules we would not have the KKK or Arian Nation, the Inquisition, the Hundred Years War, the Crusades or the Spanish conquests of the Americas in the way it happened. Real Christians would accept gays, minorities, and followers of other faiths who pray to the same God as equals and try to include all others by teaching rather than violence. I am proud to say I am a Christian, but ashamed of the fact that the best Christian I know is a Muslim. He gives 10% of the gross income from his convenience store to poor people he finds driving around San Antonio. He doesn't care about color or religion, if the person is in need he is there to help.

Bait you? Tad paranoid are we? I'm just asking a simple question. Answer it or don't I could care less. You are the one who argued that you had something to base your faith on and that all us atheists had was science or what you call "because it's there". So put your money where your mouth is. If you cannot prove that Zeus does not exist why on earth should I believe you when you say your god does exist? Because you say so? How is that any different from what you accuse us atheists of (other than the fact that there is scientific proof that science relies on)?

I think INXS got it right.
Every single one of us has the devil inside With the gift of self awareness comes the burden of morality and thus (the concept of) evil.

Quite the sad distractions from the simple question posed by the OP. Not only sad, but simply misplaced and not so accurate either. If there was a case for bullying, it would be the current majority and their antics. And, once the bully on the block gets shoved back a few times, well that's a different story. And, what is really, really funny is that most of those in that same crowd have such an interesting response to those comment on our illustrious commander in comic relief, or our muslim brothers who become outraged, riot, and kill Americans over silly little movie, and alike. Just seems the overall picture is folks pick their sides and nothing more. If you pick a side, don't feel compelled to bash the other side. That is what Jesus taught so to speak, but then again the current majority doesn't believe in him so it sort of makes sense ... |

I can't answer it but what does that mean? That we need to accept an answer, any answer? Why can't we have "I don't know"?

Condemning someone to burn in hell is basically a threat to coerce someone into believing. First off you tell him that he will be punished for his misdeeds in this world. Escaping it, he will be punished in the next world. Best case scenario, punished once. Worst case, twice.
How to get him to believe that tripe? Scare him again into the idea that by not believing, and thus following, he will burn. Next comes the "What do you have to lose? If you believe and you are wrong, nothing happens. If you don't believe and you are wrong, wait for it,,,,, wait for it,,,,,, you burn in hell." What this states is that the deity is so desperate for accolades that he will accept "belief thru fear". That or he/she/it doesn't know the difference. Is it worthwhile to work with such a deity?

And, can you also cite those in the "same crowd that have such an interesting response to those comment (sic) on our illustrious commander in comic relief..........." If you can, I'd like to see chapter and verse, because other than "el", there isn't a single post that I can find that supports your statements above. A bit of paranoia there? |

The "war on christianity" is a hoot isn't it?

Play the poor pitiful victim all you want. You made your bed not you can sleep in it. Don't think you can threaten me with eternal punishment and have me roll over and accept it. Don't think you can put up your religious displays on public lands that my tax dollars help fund and have me keep quiet about it. Do not think that you can try and force your religious beliefs into the public school system that my money helps fund and not get any push back. Cry all you want but be aware that we will not remain quiet any more.
