The rapture is finally here again!

[Thor]

1. Didnt Jesus exist? You tell the majority of scholars that, like Dr Bart Erham.

There is no evidence outside the Bible that "Jesus" was a real person. Personally, I would say there probably was a guy named Jesus. As for the nonsense about walking on water, healing people, a virgin birth and rising up from the dead....

2. How do you know He is not coming back? what are you basing this on?

I can know that "Jesus" isn't coming back for the same reason I know that Elvis isn't coming back.

3. Not the son of God? how do you know this?

For the simple reason that there is no evidence to support this extraordinary claim.

It never ceases to amaze me how many dumbasses truly believe that Jesus is returning. And they're certain he'll be here soon! Of course, the dumbasses never stop to think how many dumbasses before them thought the same thing! I only wish I could bet the dumbasses that they're wrong.

Its a core part of Christianity and is not only what 'dumbasses' believe.

Yes, it's a core part of Christianity. And a couple thousand years ago the Romans believed Apollo pulled the sun across the sky by riding a chariot pulled by four horses. Of course, they were ignorant of the world around them. People today have no such excuse.

We're his masterpiece? I've seen people who were born with misshapen limbs. I've seen people who were born missing their eyes. I've seen conjoined twins who were fused together at the top of the head! If we are his "masterpiece", this deity needs a new paintbrush.

You are confusing humanity and the problem of evil; two different things.

How are birth defects a problem of "evil"?

Why do people look at a book written by primitive and expect it to be so moral?

Wait a minute! Believers tell me that the Bible is the word of GOD! You're telling me it wasn't the work of a deity? (BTW, I agree with your statement!)

The Bible was/is black and white, they had slaves. So what? everyone else did too.

Well, if the Bible is the work of a deity that people use as a base for their morality, the fact that the Bible permits slavery is a HUGE problem!
