a poster on this forum said that to believe in God and creation was like believing in pink unicorns and sky pixies. i responded with this:
I thought unicorns were a myth too but check this out
numbers 23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
deuteronomy 33:17 His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.
and there are 7 more mentions of the unicorn
behold and believe non-believers

omg.
I am actually holding my face in disbelief. Well I was, now I'm typing.
Are you serious?
You're trying to convert me...with an unicorn? This is too unreal. I'm saving this in my watch list.

So since we know that unicorns do not exist, what you are saying is that there is some complete nonsense in the Bible, right?
I think that is fine evidence to bolster the confidence of any atheist that they have come to the most probable conclusion!
Unicorns ARE a myth. You can't use the bible to prove itself since we already know it contains at least some "facts" that are utter nonsense! 1 Kings 7 infers that the true value of pi is exactly 3! How can that possibly be correct?

What exactly are you claiming to have proven here?
You said the original argument was that unicorns created the earth. Then you claim that the fact they are mentioned in the Bible proves...
Wait a minute. What?
This is the worst question I've ever seen.

OMG the bible says so, it must be true. Hey, weren't there talking snakes and donkeys in the bible too? Wasnt' there a burning bush that God spoke out of? Hey don't forget people rising from the dead... give me a break... using the Bible to support your claim that a unicorn exists(existed) is like quoting the National Enquirer to say that Bigfoot or aliens are real.

I'm a Christian just to start it all out. When they say unicorns, they are just making an example or metaphors. That doesn't mean that they're really are unicorns. They may have been stories of fairy tales back then just like we do now. But God is the only one that knows if unicorns are real or not. Which I highly doubt there are! oh yea and i just looked in my Bible and my translation says wild ox unstead of unicorns!!!

A unicorn huh?
Could Noah only find one then? Hmmmm after reading the Deuteronomy passage this is all sounding a bit more phallic than anything.
God's unicorn... Well,
Where are they now?

I still behold and believe in pink unicorns because, for some reason, they light my ironic nature right up.
The myth of god, however, continues to fail to ignite any fire within me.
If I'm going to hell, I shall endeavor to enjoy the ride.
I will enjoy it all the more for listening to fairy stories, feel free to continue to provide me with bed time reading...

I think you missed the point the poster was actually making. Are you going to tell us now that Unicorns are real?

Very soon, many attention seekers will be very peeved when they realize that people refuse to answer questions from questioners who use the Bible as a means to get attention.
Then they are going to be very hard pressed to find another issue.
I thank God that He has made the spiritual world invisible to most people. I wonder how much freakier people would become if they had access to the goings on in the spiritual realm?

Wait a minute, does this mean that all christians believe in unicorns?
Sounds like more ammo for the athiests than for the christians...

The Bible may mention unicorns, but it doesn't mention pink unicorns, does it? Anyway, it's not "pink unicorns", it's the Invisible Pink Unicorn (bbhhh). She is pink and she is invisible at the same time, which is the main point.
