atheists demand you uphold the burden of proof because it is logical. If I say I have a dragon in my garage, its not then up to you, to prove that I don't.

Quote:To compare Thor or Zeus to God is a strawman fallacy.

Typical special pleading bullshit from the guy who thinks his god is "real" but all the others are "false."

Perhaps it is time to remind you that you clowns have a whole mythology built around your boy becoming "fully human and fully divine."

Digest that and then you can tell me about how your "god" is not "created to look like man."

Actually, Zeus and Thor are a bit more believable than that psychotic twat you believe in. Thor and Zeus were consistent. The twat that you believe in can't make up his mind whether he is an evil piece of shit or a two-faced git who pretends to love everyone

Piss of you delusional, brain-washed ass-hole.

I would just like to remind everyone how SoC has completely ignored the bible quotes that show god commanding genocide and rape of little girls, but continues to declare how wonderful his religion is.

I can read just fine and name calling isn't going to win you points in your favour you know.

Quote:The babble and religion are pieces of shit covered with diamonds (for the witless, gullible and unintelligent).

That's your opinion but clearly your opinion is wrong if Jesus Christ and his message are at the heart of the Christian faith and Jesus is the same thing according to Christianity as the long prophesied Jewish Messiah from the Old Testament. The Old Testament is centred upon the Messiah so clearly Jesus from the Christian perspective is the heart of the Bible New Testament and Old Testament. You can pick out passages Christians have issues with from the beginning anyway all you like but I'm pointing out how you are factually wrong. You have thew diamond and there's some shit on there. You can wash away the shit and the diamond polishes up just fine.

I must be about the hundredth person to ask you for the evidence and convincing arguments you find so compelling. As yet, I've seen no such thing from you.

Quote:No-one who is brainwashed or delusional could say this they wouldn't really know why they believe what they believe they will just "think it's true because it is"

So delusional people who believe in wild conspiracy theories don't think they have good reasons for believing as they do? "Brainwashed" people don't receive reasons -- however spurious -- to buttress their convictions? Bullshit.

Quote:which is what most atheists do when they demand burdens of proof.

We don't demand "burdens of proof," whatever the hell that means. Personally, I'd settle for one good shred of evidence. Two millenia of Christians' utter failure to provide it is telling.

Quote:That's your opinion but clearly your opinion is wrong if Jesus Christ and his message are at the heart of the Christian faith and Jesus is the same thing according to Christianity as the long prophesied Jewish Messiah from the Old Testament.

Of course, the Jews aren't any more persuaded by these claims than we are. Oh, right. They are a stiff-necked, rebellious people who traded God's favor for twenty centuries of abuse at the hands of Christians instead of accepting what is so obviously true.

Quote:The Old Testament is centred upon the Messiah so clearly Jesus from the Christian perspective is the heart of the Bible New Testament and Old Testament.

The "Old Testament" and all that phrase implies is a Christian imposition and represents one of the most shameless cultural thefts of all time. The Hebrew Bible, on the other hand, is centered on Torah which Gentile followers of the magical God/man Jesus conveniently ignore for the most part -- unless it can be used as a weapon against people Christians don't like, such as homosexuals.

Quote:You can pick out passages Christians have issues with from the beginning anyway all you like but I'm pointing out how you are factually wrong.

As far as I can tell, you've done no such thing. Empty claims are not evidence of anything except bankrupt positions.

The important difference here is that God made us in his image we didn't make God in our image seeing as God isn't depicted like this.




"Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man." Acts 17:29


"Beware lest you act corruptly by making a carved image for yourselves, in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female, the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air, the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth. And beware lest you raise your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, you be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, things that the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven." Deuteronomy 4:16-19
