Society & Culture - 27 July 2007

These are some of the questions that have been posed by atheists as "proof" that the whole god-thing is a untrue:

"If your god loves us so much, why can crabs regrow legs but humans can't?"

"Can anyone tell me why there is no mention of dinosaurs in the bible?
Bit of an anomalie don't you think? especially when we actually have physical proof they existed. "

Now I'm not saying that atheists don't have a lot of valid reasons to support their hypothesis of there not being a god, but surely there must be some better reasons than these. I'm not asking for you to tell me them, but don't you think that questions like this just demean the whole atheist culture? It's meant to be a belief of logical and intelligent thought - on some kind of higher plain than that of "mere" religion.

These questions are right out of kindegarten!!

What will you say to god if when you die it turns out that he does exist but you've been worshipping the wrong religion?

And what's more he's a bit pissed off about it! Not quite enough to send you to hell straight away, he's giving you the chance to talk your way out of it.

If you don't acknowledge the validity of Pascal's wager and it's indeed invalid, we are even.
But if you don't acknowledge its validity and it is valid, I win.
Therefore, why would it hurt to accept Pascal's wager as valid?
Answer and drink for me.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green he leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives he releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo,m he hath great power and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water.

"But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. ------ (1 Timothy 2:12-14 - HOLY BIBLE)



These are definately manmade opinions as you can see the obvious bias.

Job suffered, but in the end God awarded him during his life time on earth.

The apostels saw the miracles of Jesus first hand. Moses parted the red sea with the help of God for everyone to see, even the egyptians saw this. God help the Jews win battles again neighboring enemies. Abraham, Lot and many others saw God energy first hand.

Why is it that God has not appeared to us since the Bible was finished? What proof is there the God of the Bible really exists??

I just wnet on this chrisitan webste where people are full of attitude like if you are not like them then they treat you differently. Well I just went on there to post a post to set the record straight onec and for all. I wish you guys had of seen it, becasue thats telling them. It all started when I got on there and said Hi dudes anyone on here. And a reply came back "We are not dudes, we are brothers and sisters" I thought what proods. I told them that if anyone treats me like that they are not my brothers or sister, they are my enemy. And I told them my real sister has never treted my like that. I told them that a wiccan friend I am talking to is more friendlier that them, and I told them if they want respect from non believers etc then be comassionate, show concern, show respect, and I told them not how you have treated me. I told them if they do not like me for me than lump it, and I told them that all I am doing is sticking up for myself and if they do not like it stiff. Mate I

The Immaculate conception as it is called. A virgin is suddenly and mysteriously impregnated by god.

OK. First that is a bit hard to believe. A young yet to be married girl gets pregnant, in a time when stoning is the punishment for being a floosy. It isn't very unrealistic to think that a young girl would lie to keep from being brutaly murdered is it?

Upon further reflection, is this concept wrong and the indication of a bad god?

1) We are all god’s children - so god has committed the sin of incest.

2) Mary was a virgin and she was impregnated against her will. That is rape.

So, then god must be a child molesting rapist; could this be why there is so much of the same in the church. If god can do it so can his servants.

Am I wrong?

Evidence for Lilith is Isaiah 34:14, which in the NRSV reads, "there too Lilith shall repose." Most major translations of the Bible now read something to the effect of "night creature" or "screech owl."

Statistics show at least 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. That number is on the low side, as it does not take into account miscarriages that occur before the woman has found she was pregnant. If God is totally in control of what happens does that make him an abortionist?
