It's like you people pick on religions that people have "heard of" -- perhaps you know, deep down, that I'm right.

To continually ask about God or His commandments or His word and KNOW that you are going to get the same answers is assinine. Absolutely no wisdom is used in this respect and this is not logical behavior (as many non-believers claim they are soooooo logical. hmmm

How could God put people in hell for devoutly following what they believe in their hearts to be right? If Jesus is the only way to heaven, that means over 2/3 of the planet is doomed.

I am not trying to be trite, I mean a viable afterlife, one that would allow us to use our Earthly experiences to reach a higher level of awareness and maybe even cooperation?

* First of I'm a practicing Lutheran...

Why do Christians attempt to back up their arguments with atheists by using Bible passages? If they already don't believe it, how will making reference to it change their mind?

Atheists, agnostics, or even some liberal Christians do not believe in the inerrancy of scripture so basically your defenses to your statements will mean nothing to them.

Also, why do we (Christians) attempt to back up our arguments with argumentum ad ignorantiam logical fallacies. Just because God has not been proven non-existent it doesn't immediately prove that he DOES exist.

I do believe in God, but why can't anyone just have faith in what we do not see or hear like the Bible says.. Why do we feel a need to validate it?

Every supposed prophecy in the Bible has been interpreted to mean different events throughout history, they can, and have all been reused over and over again. Even Nostradamus wrote clearer prophecies, and his strategy was to make them so they could be interpreted differently by any individual.

I don't mind people studying this stuff, but if you are trying to add credibility to the Bible, you might want to look a little further.

1. What did the carnivores eat on the boat? Any animals they ate would have gone extinct ultimately defeating the purpose.

2. It is widely accepted by christians that the dinosaurs were killed in the flood. If this is true, why were they ignored by god and why did he save the alligators?

3. Even if noah did manage to fit the animals onto the boat, they wouldnt have had enough space to move around. Wouldnt a lot of animals die from blood clots, atrophy or disease?

4. Where were the termites stored? Ants? Bees?

5. Some animals or insects lifespan is shorter than the amount of time they were given on the ark, such as certain species of butterfly and moth: How did god/noah account for them?

6. Not all animals reproduce in pairs, how were they braught to the ark and why doesnt the bible outline this?

7. How were animals such as the polar bear, penguins and marsupials braught to the boat or returned for that matter?

I hear this often and it raises some questions. Does God work through communication? So if he does, wouldn't he want to communicate to people in the 21st century. If you say no, then why don't we all have greek new testaments. The KJV is in a long line of translations, so if you won't accept the NIV or NLT, how can you trust the KJV. If I wanted to help bring someone to Christ I wouldn't talk to him with an english 1600's accent.

OK, with that out of the way...

Let's say "Hell" exists, and despite your best efforts you are going there. When you get there, Satan tells you he's going to "be a nice guy" and let you choose one of two ways to spend your eternity in hell.

You either:

a.) spend it in a fiery lecture hall listening to nothing but Rosie O'Donnell lecturing on 9/11 conspiracy theories.

-or-

b.) spend eternity in a fiery concert hall listening to concert from American Idol's Sanjaya.


Which do you choose? Why?


*note - those are your only two choices. "i'm going to heaven" / "God has a plan for me" / "I would kick satan in the balls and run away" are not an acceptable answers.
