Wasn't the Adam and Eve story in the old testament? So, dont say not to take the old testament literal if you believe in the Adam and eve story.

There was also that time that Albert Einstein proved to me that god exist because of smiling babies. And that Marine who tried to beat me up to prove there is a god.

Hooray for theist urban legends.

ok,, before you answer, please read everything that i've written. i have a very specific question and i don't want to waste your time or mine by having you answer a question that i didn't ask.

assuming that a person can even choose their beliefs, why should i go with jesus?

please don't answer with, because he's lord. whether or not he's lord is precisely what's in question here, so you can't really base your conclusion on it. you follow? i need you to demonstrate WHY he's lord.

you're probably gonna say, "well, i can't show you. you just have to have faith." --- ok,,, but here's the thing,,, why should i have faith... IN JESUS? --- i can have faith in vishnu or zeus. in fact, you can blindly believe in ANYTHING. so why jesus?

a common response to this is, "well,,, if atheism is true, then it doesn't hurt to be a christian. but if christianity is true, then it DOES hurt to be an theist". but what if islam is true?

i'm running out of room here. please read the additional details.

If you REALLY think about it...

A marriage is a religious insitution. You get married at a chuch (mostly) by a Pastor, Priest, or Minister, according to the denomination of the church... and the clergymen who perform these marriage services in their churches have to be licensed by the state they live in for it to be a legally binding marriage.

Since traditional times, we have always honored the traditional nuclear family as being the ideal way to raise children, live as an adult, etc... and this is partly because it was the only way we could survive and partly because the church discouraged doing anything else with your life OTHER than raising a family at some point. The idea of marriage (you bible thumpers probably know the verses and exacts better than I do) is an exclusively religious idea in which two people take oaths to care for and be faithful to one another and stake their honor on it, whether it is Judaic or Islamic or Catholic or Christian....

I am a Christian but would like to hear SCHOLASTIC (faith through logical reasoning) why, it is logical for your Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Shinto (etc.) beliefs. Only through reason please. I would prefer no lectures or dogmatic ranting (not to be rude or disrespectful). Atheists and blind believers (I understand that faith is mostly blind :) ) please do not respond please because (again not to be rude) but often your views are more ignorant or absolute than educated and open-minded.

I keep hearing that you just have to have faith if you want something to come true.

Atheists, as I said before, what if the doctors said that you or someone you loved had a horrible disease and you only had a few days left to live---what would you do? Would you seriously just sit back and think "Gee, I guess there's nothing to do about it"? You seriously would not be praying to God, the One who created you, to heal you? What a sad way to live thinking there is no hope and nobody to help you in your problems.

Everything else that I can think of has some fundamental and observable basis for its belief. If not for reasoning, more people would still believe that some fat jolly guys plummets down their chimney every winter. So why do fundamental theists still believe the God story with absolutely no evidence?

I think it's called "Plank chit" or something. I want to know if anyone has called spirits by using a sequence of coins and candles or something like that.

I would love to learn about it. If you know of any authentic resources which provide information about the same, I would be glad.

I am so sick of turning on the T.V. and seeing people getting killed by stray bullets.My best friend got killed in 94 and I think it sucks for someone to walk up to you put a bullet in your head & you die and they are free.Why would God give these monsters that joy and power to kill & be free doing all the things the person they killed should have the right to do.
