Really. It's about time you stop lying to yourselves.
A.) Gay people don't choose to be gay. Even if they did, HOW THE HELL WOULD YOU KNOW?
B.) The Earth wasn't created 6000 years ago. There is irrefutable evidence that supports the Earth is BILLIONS of years old.
C.) Jesus didn't levitate up towards space or wherever heaven is supposed to be. That's just nonsense. Wake up already.
D.) No one came back from the dead, especially not Jesus or Lazarus. It's not possibly. Not now, not then, NOT EVER.
E.) Humans cannot have children without a sperm and an egg combining. Mary was not a virgin, unless of course someone jizzed all over her privates or something.
The list goes on. Why do people try and make up weakass explanations for these things?

Since you have all the answers why ask the question? Looks like you've outsmarted yourself. You want to have a serious dialogue then I'm open... but you don't. You have already decided what you believe, so why throw stones at Christians. Because I disagree with you? I don't judge "gay" people, Christ died for all; irrefutable evidence means you can't argue, even most Christians though know the world is older, where are you getting 6k years? Why do you care how Jesus rose? No one back from the dead, it is the crux of my belief, if the answers were spelled out for you what would the point of faith be? That explains the rest, I believe by faith and have the confidence to know that if I'm right... all others are wrong. Because of it my soul is secure... how's yours?

Not that I think you're trying to do anything but argue, but there may be others who wish to look for reasonable answers.
A) Gay people. I never claimed they chose to be gay. They may have been born that way. So are many alcoholics. It doesn't make it right to *practice* it, simply because one has a genetic disposition. The "born that way" is fallicious reasoning that does nothing but beg the question. We may disagree as to whether it is a sin or not, but whether or not someone is "born" that way is besides the point.
B) I don't believe the earth was created 6000 years ago. I believe that many of Michael Behr's ideas regarding Intelligent Design is a much more intelligent way to discuss the origin of mankind, and that much of this does not disprove the Bible, if you understand what the Bible REALLY teaches, and are not misled by a poor translation. The Bible never said the earth is only six days old. In Genesis 1:1, it states it was created. That's all. It's probably billions of years old, as the universe is probably about 18 billion years old, or even older.
C) To deny the ressurection of Jesus Christ as impossible simply because it is "Miraculous" is circlular reasoning at best. Human beings are learning more every day that overturns what we used to believe. Simply because we don't understand how a thing could possibly occur, is no logical reason to deny it. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
D) See C
E) See D and C
Your logic is flawed.

Everything you have stated here is opinion. Read each and every point and see what I mean.
As far as B goes, what "irrefutable" evidence. Science is based on man's knowledge, and science has been known to make many errors.
If you didn't know, carbon dating depends on no major disasters to accurately date an object. Since there was a flood according to scripture, that would throw carbon dating out the window. But even without that, if the Earth is that old, then there surely would have been a disaster in that time period.
Catch 22, isn't it?

Hey it seems you need some research.if you didnt know if the earth were that old it coldnt exist because the sun would have been bigger the sun shrinks now and then.If the moon were that old aswell than there would have been lots of layers of moon dust.There has been evidence that radioactive dating is not always accurate.Evolution has missing links.Only a true homosexual knows that what about those who were raped and becam homosexuals were they born homosexuals or was because of that experience?GOd exist wether you believe it or not there is no evidence against him.Every creation has a creator.we are creation therfore have a creator only an idiot says there is no creator or God.God created all things he gives life and can take it.I can go on but it seems your just trying to fight the unbeatable In the end well see who was right.If you believe your purpose in life is to be like any other animal so be it.I have a purpose and am well alive and can see things for what they truly are unlike some ignorants.

I think it's because you have a mind blinded by the dark forces which rule the Earth. God only reveals His truth to those who are truly searching for answers and a life changing experience.
Have you spent any time in debate with a grounded born again believer? You should find someone you could have a face-to-face conversation with.
Try God not man.

Well first the Bible is taken by faith, that's first. Christians as myself live by the Word of God and the Bible. I know gay people and I treat them with the same respect as everyone else. Jesus Himself were around the whores and rejects of that time. I don't agree with judging others, God will do that. I'm simply here to share the Good news about Christ and people can either choose to follow Him or not.
The Bible speaks strongly about homosexuals as sinful and Christians as myself believe this to be true. Try reading the Bible for yourself and you'll discover perhaps some useful information yourself. Take care.

You are simply an unhappy person period... please stop trying to debate and really ask a question it's Q&A you should may be join a debate team you would be good at it.
Oh and Moiraes Fate Faith is the opposite of fear so you are wrong, and incase you didn't know by accepting Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior we also accept his suffering, persecution, trials and tribulations. I would think it takes strength and faith to do that, not fear. God Bless you and I vow that this will be the last religious rant I will respond to.

Wow, what an effective presentation -- you have completely convinced me -- NOT. If I were an atheist I would be embarrassed of my association with you. Try this next time:
Win people to your way of thinking by Dale Carnegie
1. The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
Show respect for the other person's opinions. Never say, "You're wrong."
2. If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
3. Begin in a friendly way.
4. Get the other person saying "yes, yes" immediately.
5. Let the other person do a great deal of the talking.
6. Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers.
7. Try honestly to see things from the other person's point of view.
8. Be sympathetic with the other person's ideas and desires.
9. Appeal to the nobler motives.
10. Dramatize your ideas.

How come you, Jerse, have to lump all Christians together in one category and berate us because we don't believe what you believe?
A) Two of my family members are gay. I love them as much as I love anyone else. Do I support the behavior? Nope. Do I tell them that? Nope. Love keeps no record of wrongdoings.
B) And that proves there's no God HOW?
C) Where you actually THERE to say it DIDN'T happen? Neither was I, so I cannot prove it DID. But I choose to believe what I believe.
D) How do you know it's not possible? Because you think so?
E) None of your arguments (with the exception of B) have any evidence to support your theory. You are guilty of what you accuse us of.

Why can't you just accept that we believe those things? We believe what the Bible teaches- it's a choice we've made. I'm happy- apparently you're not or you wouldn't be on here stereotyping Christians and calling us retarded when you don't even know us. God bless you.
