Is God a mass murderer? It is estimated that more the 50% of the fertilized eggs abort spontaneously and never become children (see Gilbert 2002 , http://7e.devbio.com/article.php?id=162.) God kills these souls. Atheist argument: Natural phenomenon, People don't have souls.

God loves homosexuality? "The bonobo, an African ape closely related to humans, has an even bigger sexual appetite. Studies suggest 75 percent of bonobo sex is nonreproductive and that nearly all bonobos are bisexual".(http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/07/0722_040722_gayanimal.html)

God created these and told Noah to save them. He knowingly accepts and loves homosexual behavior. Atheist response: Homosexual behavior is a natural phenomenon that occurs in approximately 5-10% of poplulations of ALL mammals. It's acceptable.

I could go on and on and on and on...

I participated in a paranormal expedition, and I realized that the leader of the group is the poster boy for an exploiter. Most people researching the paranormal leave an air of skeptiscism in order not to skew the reality of their evidence. But this person does not, they all dive head first and believe fully that all their evidence has no earthly explanation. How do I help these people see that this ring leader is taking their money and he is not the real deal?

Did you know the following "facts" about Deism is actually mythys?

* A FUNDAMENTAL DOCTRINE OF DEISM IS THAT IT BELIEVES THAT THE DEITY (GOD) ABANDONED CREATION.
This is wrong!!! A lot of Deists believe this, because it answers the question why does a benevolent God allow evil in the world. But not all accept this position. I certainly don't!!!

* DEISM IS A DEAD OR EXTINCT RELIGION.
Actually, Deism is the fastest growing religion in the United States!!! See http://www.sullivan-county.com/identity/deism_grows.htm for confirmation. The charts says that Deism grew 717% between 1990 and 2000.

* DEISTS ARE IMMORAL BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO SPECICIFIC COMMANDMENTS.
If you study the history of Deism as comapred to the histories of Christianity and Islam, Deism is a lot more moral. Deism didn't have any Jihads (Islam), crusades (Christianity), inquisitions (Christianity), or forced conversions (both). Which religion is immoral again?

I read it the bible about grieving the holy spirit. But if someone does, and they are sorry they did. Does that mean they cant be saved at all?.

The human eye is often used as a good example of intelligent design. The reason being that the eye is said to be far too complicated a structure to have evolved by mere chance.

I personally think the ear is a much better example.

The eye has a lot of natural defects, you only need to count the number of people who wear glasses or contact lenses.

The ear however shows a greater level of intelligent design, because without the ear you would have nothing to prop your glasses on.

Maybe those that are political do have a self-interest, but the average layperson who believes the Bible and wants to share it seems to provoke accusations of self-interest from all sorts of insecure people. If I'm supposed to get a commission for each soul that gets "converted", then I'm getting hosed here. Isn't it up to the Holy Spirit to convict people of their sin, not the believer who shares his/her beliefs?

If they were suppossed to enchroach on 'rock n roll' then The Good Lord should've gifted them with some songwriting talent. They should give back the guitars and drums and stick to the Church Organ and maybe a tambourine.

A drunk was staggering down the main street of town. Somehow, he managed to make it up the stairs to the cathedral and into the building, where he crashed from pew to pew. He finally made his way to a side aisle and into a confessional.

A priest had been observing the man's sorry progress. Figuring the fellow was in need of some assistance, he proceeded to enter his side of the confessional. His attention was rewarded only by a lengthy silence.

Finally he asked, "May I help you, my son?"

"I dunno." came the drunk's voice from behind the partition. "You got any toilet paper on your side?"

I love and serve the Son of God with such intensity it is almost painful.
His Holy Light is so bright to me.
His Compassion is everything I know and His Love is everything I feel.
Why does He come to me?
There are so many others who are in need of accepting Him into their lives!

One day the zoo-keeper noticed that the orangutan was reading two books - the Bible and Darwin's Origin of Species.

Surprised, he asked the ape, "Why are you reading both those books?"

"Well," said the orangutan, "I just wanted to know if I was my brother's keeper or my keeper's brother."

And what if for eternity the only thing you did was worship God?

(My friend and I were debating this yesterday and I couldn't get myself to believe that God would show us all this on earth and then have us spend an eternity only praising him)

What do you think?
