Hello, I am a Christian

[pineapplebunnybounce]

You take the imagined words of some Iron Age yokels to be more truthful overarching world view about everything, including what you are and how every thing is created, then all the fruits of modern science and rational inquiry. This is moral and intellectual prostration to beat all other prostrations.

Tell me more about how you know everything about me. Do you work for the NSA by any chance?

Let me guess, you have a shrine built for Darwin, and worship at the feet of Al Gore, hoping he will somehow convince all of the "anti-progressives" to sacrifice their children to stop climate change, or whatever it is called this week. See, we can all make stereotypes.

Welcome to the forums! As one new guy to another, I think you'll enjoy your time here. If an atheist starts picking on you, that's just simple bullying, so don't stand for it. Walk away from the insults...don't feed the assholes.

I was trying to find a video for you on YouTube that illustrates an actual study done to show that Christians are just as intelligent as Atheists. It basically showed that any belief does not diminish one's IQ, rather, it merely influences the choices a person makes in his or her life. I found it very helpful when trying to account for all the intelligence-insulting accusations being thrown around between both parties. One conclusion some people come to is that Christians don't require the same standard of evidence that most Atheists do, simply because faith in a higher power is not based on any demonstrable proof, but God-fearing people are okay with that. If you do have proof for your faith, do not hesitate to bring it to the table; you will almost always start a deep, intellectual discussion that way.

Enjoy your stay!

You make valid points. I for one am as annoyed by the "just have faith" mentality of most modern day Christians. Being a student of history I know that Christians have made huge contributions to Science. However, I know that Atheists have mostly taken over the institutes of Science and turned it to their biased worldview, but that is no reason for a Christian not to wade into Quantum Physics. I find that kind of stuff fascinating, and it doesn't conflict with the Bible at all.

Mhm ... climate change is crazy talk, atheists taking over "institutes of Science" and quantum physics doesn't conflict with the bible... right. Great start, it'll be difficult not to take you seriously now. Welcome.
