Book of Acts: Pure Fantasy

[brotherlylove]

To believe in some vague "higher power" is one thing, but to say that Jesus is the son of this higher power and that the Bible is the word of God is absolutely ridiculous!! Christianity is a MAN MADE RELIGION, and one of the very worst ones at that! At least Buddha was a human being, an extraordinary one, but that's one main aspect that gives it more credibility. Yes, it may have some seemingly "out there" ideas of rebirth and all that, but all in all, it has too be the most down to earth and rationalistic religion of them all, at least in my humble opinion. Christainity makes no sense. Everything is a sin, it's history speaks for itself, and it's priests like to fondle little boys!!!! The churches in America pay NO taxes and they spew out the same tired, old rhetoric that has become so redundant and trite that people are just gonna laugh at you for being a dull Jesus Freak.

Christianity makes a lot of sense (you might want to check out Christian philosophy sometime), and perhaps this was your problem as a former Christian; you didn't understand it. Everything is not a sin, nor do the actions of men who were disobeying the commandments of God count as evidence against it. Truly, if people followed what Jesus taught us to do, the world would be a near utopia. You said "at least buddha was a man", but Jesus was also a man, albiet one who also had a divine nature. Do you not believe that Jesus existed?

Almost everyone in the world believes in God..do you believe they're all delusional and that you are the one who is right?

When was it decided that an objective truth is decided by majority opinion? You really got to step up your game because in the few posts of yours that I have read since you joined, your starting to look like an average christoholic moron.

Isn't that how it works in the secular worldview? Take morality, for instance. Do you believe there is an objective morality or is it subjective?

For instance, 1 + 1 has only one right answer.

Nope blowhard, since .999...can be shown as equaling 1 then 1 + 1 can equal 1.999........

Since I can't resist, here is something you can take to your idiot convention (church) on Sunday and become a hero to the idiots there.

1/3 can be written as .333...
3 x .333... = .999...

x = .999....
so 10x = 9.999......
9x = 9
so
x=1 and there you go.

No go prove your trinity to the ignorant Christians at your church and leave the real important stuff to us here that have brains.

Thanks, that is kind of neat. And though I can appreciate that .999 could potentialy = 1 it doesn't necessarily follow that 1 = .999..if it does then how do you turn 1 into .999?
