Fiction tends to be quite popular to the masses, but it is still called fiction for a reason.

No need to look back to the early church for many who died for Jesus. There are many more today who are being martyred for their faith in Christ than back then.

Persecution and martyrdom are evidence of nothing other than persecution and martyrdom.

If Christians would ever once apply this line of reasoning to their own beliefs, the faith would crumble in a single generation. Hypocrites!

Your low standards are noted with no surprise.

How nice for you! Your holy book thoughtfully provides you an escape hatch so that you never have to feel bad about how laughably insufficient your witness is to anyone with the slightest critical thinking ability.

Please, keep preaching, brother! You are a great recruiting tool for disbelief.

Not my intentions at all. Sorry you feel that way.

I think Costco placed fiction on the Bibles they were selling and it caused a big stir and they took it off. To billions this book is fact.

Jesus was criticized repeatedly by the "scholars" of His day. I am okay with it but I come in His Name and wish others would come to Him as well.

I come as an ambassador for Christ. I do not want to offend you but I want to bring the hope I have to you. This hope is based on the truth of Christ and the love he has for mankind.

Ambassador... there's a pompous title...
So, why can't he come here himself?
Why does he need ambassadors?
What's wrong with this picture?!

You know what? If this is true, if you actually believe this, then you should be ashamed of yourself, because you are failing god. And not due to the hardness of our hearts or any bull like that; you're failing because you're acting like a condescending, smug douche, and your overly simplistic, single sentence responses aren't eye opening, they're insulting. Every time you write a single, presuppositional sentence in place of an actual response with evidence in it, you're making the case for your god that little bit harder to believe.

I am sorry you feel that way. People who really know me might not feel the same way as you do of me. I am not here for me and you could hate me all you want and call me whatever. That doesn't remove you from the fact that the Lord loves all of you and would have you repent and come to Him while there is still time. Not everything can be explained by Science. If the Lord Himself appeared to you I believe you would have trouble believing it. I didn't die for your sins so loath me as you wish.
