Religion & Spirituality - 10 November 2007

When referring to atheists, one Christian wrote: "None are offensive; all are illogical. Atheism has illogic as its foundational premise."

Exactly what arguments do atheists make that are very illogical or impossible? And I'm not looking for meaningless speculation, such as, "The universe is so complex, there has to be a God."

What arguments or evidence have we provided that constitutes anything illogical or irrational?

I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. That makes me a Christian. Yet, I am constantly being told that I don't believe the Biblicial Christ. I didn't think there was another one.

I want some one to tell me why they have the right to disrespect me and tell me I'm headed for Hell, just because I believe something they think is stupid.

No bashing, I want PROOF of claims, and please, please, please - don't quote DECKER - CHICK - Journal of Discourses, anti sites, the Seer, etc.

The church I attend allows (encourages) people to dance during the worship service. What do you think of that?

Many people argue that our founding fathers were "Christian" and therfore our country is a "Christian Nation". (I disagree, many of our founding fathers were FreeMasons & Deists, but I digress)

Our founding fathers were also white males. Does that make America a white male nation ? After all, they presided over a Nation where blacks were enslaved and women and blacks were not allowed to vote. They obviously thought white males were superior to everyone else. So using the "Christian Nation" logic, shouldn't we also say that America is a "white male nation " ?

(I don't think America is a "Christian" nation, or "white nation")

Anyone remember the George Carlin bit about shell shock vs post tramatic stress syndrome? Well I was thinking about it and other various word evolutions(I said the "E" word so it fits R&S) Do you think that we keep changing the words we have for meanings that never change in an effort to make OURSELVES feel better? Ya know, as opposed to "Not hurting anyones feeling" ?
Like Shell Shock, then Battle Fatigue, then Post Tramatic Stress Sydrome... the guy is still all f****** up and in distress no matter what we call it... do our PC words merely seek to gloss over the unpleasentness WE have thinking of it? Cause I am sure he doesnt care... Of course there are many terms we do this with... this was a single example... now I am rambling... or am I "Speaking on beyond the needed point?"

Maybe this is a rather odd post but I just read a book called The Embrace about Roderick Ferrell. It made me realize there are people out there all around that really believe they are vampires, or really enjoy deep roleplaying.

I was wanting to speak to one, if possible.

old problems except that you won't have the same religions trying to make you feel guilty for as much as breathing sideways.

He said "The picture is to the common man what Reightousness is to the literate"--do you think this quote is as accurate when describing christians, with their little Jesus necklaces and bling, as it was in mexico in the dark ages?

In the faxsimilies there are two printings of a papyrus. Smith drew in an arm and knife on who he thought was Abraham. They show egyption characters that had nothing to do with Abraham. Smith is wrong on who they are. I went to the store to pick up a simple childrens book of egyptian characters and every character was accounted for plain as day. none of them were Abraham or any of the other names that smith gave. This HAS to rock your world. It HAS to. How do you handle it? sweep it under the rug? no bs please.

You know what I'm talking about. 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, The Va Tech shootings and the War in Iran are all evidence of God's being miffed about something or other.

Is it a general Christian Doctrine, or a Fundie thing, or just a couple of money grubbing wackos?

Would you, as a Christian, picket the funerals of American soldiers killed in the Iraq War? If so, why?
