Would it be somewhat accurate to call you an Atheist Christian catfish?

Nowhere near accurate. But highly scientific and a bit crazy by your standards... lol

Whut!?

Ah you mean those verses are a get out clause.

Well not quite. Whilst the understanding of a child suffices (for children), as an intelligent adult you has responsibilities. That is, it is not beyond your means to accept all of scripture. I might agree with your objections, and incorporate them within full blown orthodox Christianity. It's a matter of understanding then.

Then what are you? Why is it so hard to get a straight answer from you?!

Yes it is beyond my "means" to accept all of scripture... I cannot and will not accept human sacrifice. I cannot and will not accept animal sacrifice. I cannot and will not accept "Jesus" as my savior. I cannot and will not accept X-mas as a Christian holiday. I cannot and will not accept Sunday as the Sabbath. I cannot and will not accept Moses' divorce laws. I cannot and will not accept Moses' circumcission laws. I cannot and will not accept the notion that God ordered innocents be slaughtered. I cannot and will not accept the Greek myth of Tartarus.

Be an adult, take responsibility for your actions and realise that if you accept all of scripture blindly, you're contradicting it somewhere...

The simple believeth every word. Prove all things. Come, let's reason together...

Because I know where a "straight" answer gets me. Into a debate about you needing proof of God.

I'm a Christian and proud of it and I challenge anyone to prove otherwise.

That's one hell of an assumption, and amusing in that you preempt it with an admission of ignorance.

You don't really need proof of God, just some good evidence will do. If we're talking about a God that interacts supernaturally with the universe we're talking about something scientific.

You think because I reject accepting all of scripture, it's an admission of ignorance? Explain please...

So you think that something you call "supernatural" has a natural existence? I'm confused about your understanding of the term "supernatual" now...

Hold on a sec lol.

This makes you precisely not a Christian:

I am completely with you on your other objections, yet I believe rationally in the inerrancy of scripture.

Show me where Yeshua taught that I have to accept him as my savior please.
