is that a joke, or is it just a way to get back at atheists for all the crazy things that Christians actually believe? (according to the Bible)

Actually at one point in time we did believe that.
But also did the Christians. In contrast to them
we pretty quickly realized that this was bullshit.
Took the Christians "a couple" of years longer
to realize that.

Maybe it was a joke or a troll. Regardless, it's pretty funny. Almost as funny as the fake dinosaur bones.

Ah, the mind of a Christian. It is so knowledgeable....
I certainly hope they were joking. I enjoy a good joke, especially when a Christian belief is involved.

If there's no God, then existence has no which skill. we are basically the effect of time + threat + count number, questioning round without objective or which skill in existence. it really is the utter melancholy of a existence lived for itself and searching no pride contained in the pleasures it is composed of itself with. Why difficulty with love, it really is meaningless besides, why difficulty with morality, it has no factor of reference in atheism. As we glance over the historic past of guy and see the awfulness of the Crusades and the Inquisitions, we see the illogical out-workings of the Christian worldview (they don't journey the teachings or existence of it really is founder). yet after we see the endless homicide of 1000's of thousands through Stalin and Hitler (who turned right into a ardent follower of Nietzsche's writings, even gave his paintings to Stalin), right here we see the logical outworking of an atheistic worldview, the position, considering there's no God, then there's no moral factor of reference, existence has no which skill, and so the movements of such adult adult males as those, for instance, are in keeping with that worldview. Now, enable me upload that no longer all, probable maximum atheists are literally not contained in the category with those adult adult males, notwithstanding the worldview of atheism fails to respond to the questions of foundation, objective, which skill and want previous the grave, a minimum of with coherence. that is a pessimistic worldview without a lot to provide, yet Christ, on the different hand, gives you humanity, exhilaration even in sufferings, forgiveness from sins (which seperate us from God), a deep seated objective and which skill it extremely is stumbled on contained in the love of God confirmed via Christ, a wish for existence previous the grave, a real which skill in all earthly relationships and the promise that God created for His exhilaration and objective. No sir, what i stumbled on contained in the guy of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, ought to not in any respect be latest in something in this international, i recognize, i tried. with any success you word the pessimism of atheism and the authentic optimism of real Christianity.

I suppose it's no dumber than thinking dinosaurs are God's idea of DVD easter eggs. It's not really part of the movie; it's just more of a cool deleted scene!

the bible teaches that the earth is flat.
christians believe that atheists believe what it says in the bible.
christians believe all sorts of strange things.
they have had a lot of practice.

I would imagine it was a troll.
Or maybe it was a metaphor for something else. You know us Christians and our metaphors!

Can't tell you if they are joking. Many people are misled about what other people think, so they may just be ignorant.
