Christians

I think fabrication is a bit harsh,

Fabrication is the perfect word...for xtianity and every other doctrine ever created by the human mind of some con artist.

When I make bold assertions I am asked to provide evidence to support them, I'd expect you to do the same.

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

On the other hand, if all these people have a close personal realationship with God, you might expect him to be consistent about what he reveals to them... its no wonder we dont take them seriously.

God was consistent in His revelation, scripture is God’s revelation and it is available for anyone who wants to read it.

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?

yes why should it matter? because it does! such a vague minded thing to say. "where i the bible does it mention dinosaurs?.. oh who cares" me! i care alot! if you dont want to answer the questions then atleast question the questions! they have a standing in this sort of topic and must not be ignored. IGNORANCE IS THE ESSENCE OF RELIGION.

Where did I say seeking Truth didn't matter? I wanted to know why the fact that Christians disagree mattered to the original poster and what his point was.
