Not true. We have God. He supports pretty much everything. Well, okay, everything.

False, you have the concept of god, which theists erroneously assume to be more than the fairy tale it is.

Yes. Very insightful. And obviously true thanks to the tingles in your tummy. Can't refute that!

You'll come to regret asking that.

Chad's a theist. He's attempting humor and sobriety here.

    However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you.  You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land.  You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance.  You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)


But if this charge is true (that she wasn't a virgin on her wedding night), and evidence of the girls virginity is not found, they shall bring the girl to the entrance of her fathers house and there her townsman shall stone her to death, because she committed a crime against Israel by her unchasteness in her father's house.  Thus shall you purge the evil from your midst.  (Deuteronomy  22:20-21 NAB)

You know what? You're right!
Want some more? Happy to oblige!

Think about it: almost every topic between Christians and atheists goes back to the bible, which was the past. Its basically all Christians have because there is nothing modern they can show to support their belief system.

Atheists, however, can at least rely somewhat on ongoing discoveries that shrink the gaps that any gods can fit into. We will not know everything, but we know more and more with time.

In addition, the present is seemingly devoid of miracles on a scale even 1/10 of that in the bible. Again, the past is all the Christians can point to when trying to display the power of their god.

If we look at the past, there might have been a god. If we look at the present, we can't seem to find any.

Well the Bible is a completed book. So indeed in that sense Christians live in the past.

But Christians look toward the future. For the individual saved person, they will live forever with Jesus Christ.

As the Bible says:

1 Corinthians 2:9
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
