Society & Culture - 6 July 2006

I have asked this Question yesterday, but, I don't know why, only three people can say a word about it...
It seems that you Christains have nothing to say about the question...
it reads:
Despite the view of many Christians to the contrary, one need only refer to a host of Christian writers through the centuries to show that reasonable interpreters of the Bible have consistently upheld the doctrine of the unity of God throughout history. A good example is Edward Elwall, prominent eighteenth-century Baptist merchant and writer of religious literature. In 1726 he wrote in his tract Dagon fallen upon his stumps, `Is it not as gross an Absurdity to say, the One God of Heaven and Earth, is Three or Four Persons, as to say, the One King of Great Britain and Ireland, is Three or Four Persons? Is not the former altogether as false as the latter?

If you met a really nice person then found out later s/he was an atheist would your opinion of that person change? If so, how and why?

I do voluntary work. I give to some charities. The difference is , I don't do it for some reward in heaven as YOU do. So why do you think you are better than me?

I've summarized a comment left on one of my recent questions:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer:

I've read your posts and you are a hateful person who is attemping to make other people's lives miserable by your questions.

Stop trying to tear down other people's beliefs (with your words).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I am an atheist and there is no question, answer, comment or remark that will influence that "belief" (or non-belief).

How can people claim to have divine power or inspiration if their faith is so weak it can be affected by someone else's words?

This is a serious question.

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."


3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

One of his books (Survivors) is floating around the office (along with some L.Ron Hubbard but I know that he's a cultist). So who is he and what does he believe...
