Being a brit, all this stuff seems a bit weird, so I thought I'd browse a Christianity site. OMFG, they can't agree on anything. Seeing threads like 'how has god helped you' made me cringe. People saying things happen because god decides it, quickly followed by another Christian saying I don't believe god interferes etc. I take it many of you have seen this turd, but I think a nice link to insanity is fit here.

Maybe I am missing the point here, but who cares if Christians disagree on things? Atheists disagree all the time on things.

Not to our beliefs on deity, or it's power, or our interpretation of atheism, it's quite simple. Christians on the other hand squabble over many, many things, like whether the bible is word for work or a metaphoric orgy. Us atheist know it's a plagiarised load of nonsense.

I really don't see it that way. Atheists disagree on a whole slew of matters including is it possible God exists, are morals relative?, how life began on earth, the purpose of life, did Jesus ever exist?, the power/limitations of science, among many others. Just look at my "13 Questions" thread there are all sorts of different answers given to those questions by atheists, but the theists’ answers are all for the most part very similar. I think the only thing atheists really can agree on is that God or gods do not exist. Christians may disagree on doctrinal issues but there is far more they agree on than they disagree on. I will give you one thing though, there’s a very popular movement amongst Christians today to not study apologetics and theology. I think this is very sad, and it does lead to a lot of disagreement on issues just because people have never really studied what scripture actually says on that issue. I am just wondering what you think the fact Christians disagree on things even means though? Why should it matter?
