they cant proof either that there is no great flying spaghetti which is supernatural and therefore we cant se hear or feel it.
if the great flying spaghetti is somehow supernatural, its the best excuse not to be asked to proof it.

the genesis story - which many here believe literally true - states that day and night existed before the creation of the Sun.

this can be true only for a flat earth.

do all christians believe the earth is flat? or just the most devout ones?

ATLANTA - More than 1 million cases of chlamydia were reported in the United States last year — the most ever reported for a sexually transmitted disease, federal health officials said Tuesday.
"A new U.S. record," said Dr. John M. Douglas Jr. of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

More bad news: Gonorrhea rates are jumping again after hitting a record low, and an increasing number of cases are caused by a "superbug" version resistant to common antibiotics, federal officials said Tuesday.

Syphilis is rising, too. The rate of congenital syphilis — which can deform or kill babies — rose for the first time in 15 years.
"Hopefully we will not see this turn into a trend," said Dr. Khalil Ghanem, an infectious diseases specialist at Johns Hopkins University's School of medicine.

THIS is one of today's headlines. My Question:

Is this what happens when the "Atheist View" comes into effect? OR could this be a "Christian" thing?

Christians, this isn't a personal attack, or an attempt to get under your skin, but can someone truly justify this for me?

Imagine you're being threatened with torture- a terrible, gruesome death, and it can all be avoided if you admit belief in.. say.. the tooth fairy.

How is this 'righteous' in any way? Is this actually how God works?

I mean, they're soft and chewy, like flesh and they're so juicy that I'd think you could use them for the flesh AND the blood of Christ. And they're just fun. What do you think?

In Islam, there are passionate children ready to give their lives for Allah, where Mohammad is the central figure - greater than Jesus.

In Christendom, there are children "preachers" who stand before congregations preaching Jesus.

How is this acceptable? Children do not have the faculty to embrace any cause with such passion, nor do they have the intelligence to make an informed decision that comes from a blank-slate approach to objective criticism.

These children are completely and unequivocally deluded.

This is not a "relationship" with a creator. It is a relationship with a psychosis. This is proven to me, as I bring forth the evidence against a historical Jesus and the corrupt manuscript tradition of the Bible to Christians and they merely parrot the same old, tired, apologist spill.

Truth becomes irrelevant to someone who is brainwashed.

What do you think would have happened if
"Jesus failed in all the temptation?" (by satan)
If he sinned and refused to die because he was scared?

Any promise. God cannot break a promise so the ones offered are things we all can stand in faith and confidence that they apply to our lives as well.

Think about it no Protestant Reformation means no Protestant denominations which are a lot by the way. So what you do? Would you join the Roman Catholic Church? Would you join any of the Orthodox Catholic Churches? What would you folks do? By the way this is in no attempt meant to make anybody defensive or upset anybody so please just simply answer the question and move on. Thank you in advance.

But if all these amazing things really did happen, why didn't reputable contemporary historians write about them?

2007-11-13 04:22:24 · 10 answers · asked by Anonymous

But there was a story made up about the fictional legendary hero Sun God Jesus who said, "Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's..."

But there is no historic mention of Jesus anywhere?

Jesus, the myth, turned water into wine, raised the dead, fed thousands with scraps, died on a cross and the dead saints rose from the grave after a big earthquake and a black sky and walked among the people and the Bible says that the fame of Him spread throughout the known world... yet...

in History - nothing. There should be tons of historical references to these amazing earth shattering things if they were true. It's no wonder that the first century Christians and Paul only spoke of "Christ" as only a spiritual philosophy and not an actual person!

When did the Catholics decide to personify Christ? and why?

Why do people blindly claim to "know" this myth? Is it just simple self-delusion? You know, wishful thinking?

Do facts matter anymore?
