Here's an argument I heard recently from an atheist:

"If you say that the miracles in the Bible could happen even if they are scientifically impossible because God can do whatever he wants, then you are taking something you have NO scientific evidence for (the existence of God) and you are using it to prove something you have no scientific evidence for (the miracles)."

This is a really bad argument because it is NOTHING but WORDPLAY.

That's like me saying God can't create a rock so big he can't move it.

It's just word play. Agree?

I am totally convinced that the new footage on YouTube of the UfO sighting is genuine. I hope to GOD that it is not. I am an artist and I happen to have a friend who is a CGI effects artist. I studied the details and I believe this is real. What do you think???

then why dedicate your life to one group or another? With all theories, it is very possible that they can be proven completely wrong. So why change your whole way of living jsut because of a particular solution to life? Perfect examples are Jehovah's Witnesses, that spend every day reading spiritual material. And I know there are other groups out there that are the same way.

This question corresponds to my previous question:

I noticed that some of them say that people have no souls. I don't get this. What do they think animates us? I don't mean to be rude, but I am curious as to what atheists call the thing that makes them uniquely them, (Man, this is so awkward.)

I can understand how atheists don't believe in God, but life itself...that's kind of...am I wrong here? Is there some leap in logic that I have missed?

I know the Lord is with me always and always available. So if I am lonely is this a sin as in I don't have enough faith and love in Him?

I guess it's not the actual dying, it's the way I might die. I'm terrified I could get cancer or some other horrible terminal disease. Or a really painful death, like a heart attack or a stroke. I've always been abnormally preoccupied with my death, and keep wondering if this is the day I'm gonna bite it.

One of Bush's first act as president was to re-institute an international gag-rule which took away US funding to any international hospital that supported or even mentioned abortion. It was a rule first imposted by his dad, repealed by Clinton, but reinstated by Bush.

So if he can't push the religious agenda in the country he "runs" then he just imposes it on third-world countries instead? How is this legal, moral or fair?

I see a lot of Christian and Bible bashing going on. Is this done because you want to irritate a Christian? Is it done just to devalue, question the authonticity, truth, history, and meaning in the Bible? Q. Is this done just against Christians and the Bible? Or, is it intended against ALL faiths and all major religions? Do you reject the Islamic faith? Was Allah/Muhammad fabricared & not who and what claimed to be? Do you reject the Muslem faith like you reject Christianity? If so, why don't we see much of that going on? Looks like it's about 10 Christian bashing to 1 of other faiths. Why? Are you AFRAID of something? Why is Jesus the FSM and no such indignation to great figures of other faiths? Can you believe in Muslem, Buddhism, Hinduism, but not Christianity? If you can accept these other religions, then it stands that you do have faith, you do believe in things such as the Koran, etc. You accept and believe in these but not Christianity? You don't bash others because of what

Someone said this to me...and I just do understand. I'm SURE you know more about the Mormon faith than the prophet or the 12 apostles....very sure...

If you have NEVER invited the missionaries to your house(or met with them) to learn about the church, or have never been Mormon before, or have ever gone to mormon.org or lds.org, then I don't see how you KNOW more about Mormons than Mormons themselves...

You probably know a lot of misconceptions that people make up because they don't understand something...

I am Muslim
1. Kill me & call it “Collateral Damage”
2. Imprison me & call it “Security Measure”
3. Exile my people in masse & call it “New Middle East”
4. Steal my resources, Invade my land, Alter my leadership &call it “Democracy”

 Why a Jew can grow his beard in order to practice his faith
 But when Muslim does the same, he is an extremist and terrorist!

 Why a nun can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to God
 But when Muslim does the same she's oppressed

 When a western women stays at home to look after her house and kids she is respected because of sacrificing herself
 But when a Muslim woman does so by her will, they say, "She needs to be liberated"!

 Any girl can go to university wearing what she wills and have her rights and freedom
 But when Muslim wears a Hijab they prevent her from entering her university!

 When a child dedicates himself to a subject he has potential
 But when he dedicates himself to Islam he is

Christianity is the ONLY religion in the HISTORY of the world to have stories about miracles were the authors CLAIMED there were multiple eyewitnesses.

No other mythologies (Greek, Hindu, etc.) have EVER had any stories where they claim multiple people saw miracles.

Agree?

The Bible may have stories in it that seem scientifically impossible, but God is all powerful and he can do whatever he wants.

Did you see what I just did? I took something I had NO scientific evidence for (the existence of God) and I used it to prove something I have NO scientific evidence for (the miracles).

That logic has no holes in it whatsoever. Agree?
