Rebuttal: There were secular people who existed during the time of Christ who wrote about him outside the Bible.

My answer: No there weren't. Everything wrote about Jesus pertained directly to the Bible or writings derived thereof. There were many famous philosophers from that area alive during the time Christ was, and none of them mentioned Jesus.

Rebuttal: There is archaeological evidence to prove portions of the Bible.

My answer: No, there most certainly isn't. I'd love to see this evidence you claim to know about, because it would be a major breakthrough and you'd become a billionaire.

If any of you religious people ask me to explain anything about atheism or want me to debunk anything about Christianity, ask me here and I'll add additional info.

considering that people are much wiser now than in the past? and all religions today are based on the belief systems of people more primitive than us which has been passed down thru centuries?

Did you ever say to yourself "Wow i must look really stupid" when performing one of your rituals?

It was never mentioned by Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, Calvin, Zwingli; is it just the case that people like innovation rather than sound doctrine? I'm not in favour of blindly following tradition; but surely this innovation is harmful? If a theory about teh Bible is invented nearly 2000 years later, shouldn't someone smell a rat?

Do you perform your rituals skyclad?

I'll answer first: Yep! I do!

I read where a Wiccan "said most of them don't ". I find that hard to believe.

It was early afternoon on a TOTALLY clear day...one of those that there isn't a cloud in the sky anywhere. I was sitting down checking my email by a window where there is not any drapes. Well for a split second it was as if the room darkened as if there was a dark drape over the window...I noticed that it also looked dark outside, as if someone did something. I know that I experience things that others don't and I was wondering if anyone had any idea what it was that happened?

Please no rude comments about me or what happened, and I don't need people to try to convert me to their religion. I am only looking for answers to what may have happened.

Our god and father in heaven, we pray for peace and comfort for anyone that suffered loss or injury in this tragic accident. Please be with emergency workers involved in the recovery efforts today. We thank you that it was not worse than it was and for the quick response of people on the scene and in the hospitals that assisted with rescuing victims. We pray for your continued guidance in the days to come and understand that your will is not always clear to us. Finally, we pray for the recovery of anyone still in need of your healing, Amen.

I do believe in God and I am a Christian. I just think it is arrogant to believe that there is no other life but us. Has it ever crossed your mind that maybe God has created life on other planets and just chose not to say it in the Bible. I mean the Bible does not tell us everything. Maybe God just chose not to let us know. There r billions of different gallaxies, what r the chances that we r the one and only life God has created? Maybe He has other "earths" He created, and they have their own Bible too. I think is is so arrogant to belive that we are so superior that there is no other life God has chosen to be is His image but us. I am not saying they are other above us, but equals. Just kinda like our neighbors,...

Plz dont get into a big debate about this, I would just like to hear other ppl's ideas and views.

Athesist this quesiton is not for you. I`m not going to ask you to defend good logic and reason - this question is for "The other people"

Christians what happens to non-believers when they die? Correct me if I`m wrong but the Bible says that the Good people who accept Christ as their lord and savior go to heaven - And the demonic evil people go to Hell.
What about the indifferent non-believers? Not asking you to defend Christianity, I just want to know what It says in regards to this?

For my own personal amusement :)

As Jonah was in the belly of a fish for three days and three nights.......so was the son of man in the belly of the earth (hell) for three days and three nights.

If you know someone's soul is going to be eaten by Ammut shouldn't you try to save them?? They have been led astray by Set's lies, Anubis guide them. Repent and convert! It's not too late!

Let's see if any Christians see the irony in this post

Drinks of me guys I have to go and write a paper.
Much love!

I realize that the word is a part of the American vernacular, but I'm simply curious if there are people who refuse that term on principle.

I have asked many questions about the flawed theology of the WBTS....and answered many questions posted concerning JW's.

Over and over again they resort to calling me names...blocking my questions and answers, and resorting to very unchristian tactics.

Why? I worship at a Baptist church ( I do not refer to myself as a Baptist) and people criticize the theology that I believe in all of the time, and I do not call them liars, or names, or bash them?>., I actually go into the scriptures and see if they have a point..Isn't this what God calls us to do?

Whether you call me a Liar, or an apostate or a troublemaker....is no skin off my back, but I can point out how unloving and unchristian your behaviour is.

How do you personally tell the difference between an event that is coincidental, and one that is God-incidental? In other words, what drives you to personally conclude whether a particular event was influenced by the hand of God, or whether it was simply an act of pure random chance?
Where do you draw the line between coincidence and "God-incidence"?

It appears he was condemned by early Christianity to keep wandering forever after meeting Jesus...this to fulfil a prophecy that Jesus would come again in the lifetime of at least one person who had seen him first time round...this wandering Jew must be very frail by now...who is he? anyone know? Where can I read about him?

The early christians were a bunch of different sects that each had differing beliefs to each other.

Many of them were gnostics.

These included Paul, the earliest known author of the new testament (see attached article)
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Styx/8676/files/paulgno.htm

Weren't these different sects brought together for political rather than theological reasons?

When christianity's earliest author was a gnostic, and wrote his letters from that perspective, why has the gnostic element of christianity all but disappeared?

Do modern day christians actually believe that early christians believed the same as they do?

Why do so many christians say "the truth of christianity hasn't changed in 2000 years" when the evidence suggests that what it presents as truth has?
