introduction to me
July 10, 2012 at 3:20 am
Hello all
I am a 15 year old South African living in Cape Town. I am a christian and I am a big fan of William Lane Craig and Lewis Carrol. I also do not believe that christianity is a religion (weird huh?) I'll be going into further details in later posts.
happy arguing!

You don't believe that Christianity is a religion? Too bad, you're wrong, any dictionary can tell you that.
Welcome and good luck. You're gonna need it.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Christianity is a religion.
Welcome.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Oh goody, you don't believe Christianity to be a religion?
...
Criticism can wait for your thread.
For now, welcome.
My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
Man, in so far as he is not subject to natural forces, is free to work out his own destiny. The responsibility is his, and so is the opportunity.
-Bertrand Russell
