they allow all the bashing when it comes to their own faith, but they are always sticking up for all those eastern idol worshippers. jesus came unto us to stop idol worshippers yet the christians' fascination with idol worshippers from the eastern countries is rising

The alleged counter argument - "Prove god doesn't exist." is the sign of a weak intellect that is unwilling to put in effort to find answers. They make a claim then go sit on their lazy azz and tell someone else to do the work.

When a person or a party makes claim about something like the existence of god, evolution, gravity or the tooth fairy they are the ones that carry the "burden of proof".

In other words their argument that "Well prove he doesn't exist" is completely contrary to standards of the scientific method and general inquiry.

Let's say I make the claim that I can cure cancer. I bear the burden of proof. It is up to me to publish my findings and evidence so that the skeptics can evaluate my evidence and attempt to duplicate my results.

So, those that claim god does indeed exist are the ones that bear the burden of proof and have to provide to the world their findings and evidence.

It is up to us, the skeptic, to review this evidence and then report our own findings.

Would you prefer that a BENEVOLENT god (not the god of the Bible, mind you) did exist- and proved himself from time to time just to keep us understanding of his presence and purposes?

By benevolent, I mean that he/she just oversaw and helped out along the way with the evolutionary process- and occasionally stepped in to take care of bigger issues when we needed him/her?

I was wondering that there were many great people like Moses who helped people, who God has spoken with. But it seems that since Jesus has died, there hasn't been anyone like Moses who speaks with the Lord. Why do you think that is? Please, serious answers only.

If you were God and you were just hanging out, bored, wanting someone to talk to... would you create a human being with a brain incapable of comprehending you, or would you create someone that can carry a conversation closer to your level?

He decides what happens to them and he can change it so that they don't go to Hell. If it saddens him why doesn't he do something with them that doesn't sadden him?

It's like you telling me you are saddened that your kids will get a severe beating from you for disobeying. They don't have to get one, you can give a time-out which does not sadden you and still works.

Its clear there are dangers when not eating for an extended amount of time, so why would God want you to do it? It seems alittle hypocrytical to say its only ok to harm your body if its for God?? I mean does God want you to put the body he made for you at risk? And does it say anything in the bible that we should do it? if so please tell. And how long do people usually fast. I'm not saying are wrong for doing it, I just want there veiws, so thanks to the people who answer.

Most Christians I know who love GOD and believe what is wriitten in the Holy Bible . The Bible is not the same as reading a history or science book, you read those books and you learn about the past and present, the difference in reading the Holy Bible, to a person of faith is the POWER in it, once you give your heart ot GOD and Jesus Christ, your entire life changes for the bette,r and that POWER is what becomes stronger as you educate yourself with GOD's word.

So are you saying you once read the Bible but never felt the POWER of GOD's love, forgiveness and strength? if that is the case I understand why you rejected the bible, I would too if I did not have the power of GOD making my life better with the Holy Spirit.

What prevented you from recieving the Power and healing of the Holy Spirit in your life?

How can you tell a person is an atheist, without asking, you can't.

So how am I ever going to meet a like minded individual for companionship, comradeship, and plain old lively discussions?

Is there a place where I have a chance to meet such a person?

I think its odd how archeologist have found ancient cave paintings from the Sumers, they have found Neoanderthal skulls, ancient cities of Troy that has been built over and over nine times, gold artifacts from around 2100 BCE, Sparta, cities of the Hittites, Rosetteta stone, even the colosseum is still standing.I'm basically saying nature has a way of preserving things, and humans have a way of finding things. But what has NOT been preserved and what we have NOT found is anything material relating to the Bible. And the only logical answer for this is that it in fact never happened!

Christian
DEFINITION:- a person created by God, but born a sinner into a world of sin, then getting saved by the grace of God and by accepting it getting delivered from the day to day questions, worries ,hardships,and stresses of life through hope, faith, trust and total dependance on the Lord ...and also getting delivered from the coming unreversable removal of the devil and his sinful Kingdom.

:that person then leaving the comfort of their lives (movies and parties etc.) to devote their lives into boldly, lovingly and powerfully working hard to show other fallen human beings (living comfortable and uncomfortable) the plan of God's love to accept the price at which they were bought from the devil's Kingdom thereby becoming children of God once again regardless of their sins and personal experiences

;therefore they get delivered from the day to day worries of life and death on this planeth through hope and faith for the undeserved but free promises of God (unimaginable life!)

Great Knowledge of Science, Evolution, Technology, but isn't really the reverse??? If Atheists really understood what is written in the Bible what is said by the Prophets, Jesus Christ and understand GOD's timeline is not the timeline they understand from a mere human' beings understanding, then they would understand that GOD is so beyond thier own comprehension, and that is why they reject it?

I read Atheists spouting off here *Oh folks have always been preaching the End of the World-Okay so what? If you understood Daniels' 70 weeks, The Book of Ezekiel, The Book of ACTS, the Book of John the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the final chapter of Revelation then you could make a educated statement, but none of you have a clue about those books..

The World has been ending since Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden, what makes it real today is that Israel became a nation in1948 and the Parable of the Fig Tree Jesus spoke of.. Are you Bible inept?
