On the subject of Hell and Salvation

[possibletarian]

Christians have had 2000 years to explain the existence of evil and of suffering. They have not done so. Then some fool on an internet forum thinks he has the answer because he can quote scripture--to an atheist.


I've read that a definition of insanity is repeating an action over and over and expecting a change.


Is it naivete, arrogance or ignorance which compels Christians to come to an atheist forum and argue "god did it" to a bunch of atheists?

Have you ever been to a Christian forum? I have, a couple. I lasted less an hour before being banned. Seems to me Christians are treated far better on our sites than we are on theirs

I'm not sure why they keep repeating the same thing and expecting a change?

One would have thought though that the minute they claim 'a god commanded it' or 'a god revealed this to me' or 'god inspired this scripture' or ramble on about a godly purpose to things that are more easily explained by there not being a god, that they would understand when people asked for evidence of that same god.

In fact I would have thought it crucial before claiming that god did or said anything, or even discussing the merits of what god said, personally i think it really is like a disease on society.

I have been on christian forums, and you seem to be right, atheists get very short leashes, one would have thought with such a mighty all truthful, all obviously apparent god that they would not need such protection, but there we go it's their 'safe space' from the provable reality of life.
