Translation: every one of the questions challenged your viewpoint and your intellect beyond either's capacity so you then strolled away with your fingers in your ears. As you can always be counted on to do.

All 40? No. But there were some good ones in there.

Then maybe cut and paste the one or two "Good questions" that would christians the most grief.

Because again, with a very basic biblical based understanding of Christianity none of the questions asked would pose a threat to even a grade schoolers biblically based faith. I honestly do not see it.

You're the one who brought up how you would treat her for asking you to go to church, like I've been told you don't want it commented on don't bring it up. I was being told all is fair game on this site, if those rules apply to me they apply to you, you're no one special.

I just said I'd ask her that if God already knows what's in our minds, why do we need to pray to or worship him. You're the one insinuating that either I don't want to talk to my wife or she doesn't want to hear from me.

Listen, bud, you don't know my personal life so don't try to act like you do.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Back in the day, my sweet Sam and I made it a point of our relationship that we were never going to play the petty, childish game of "I've got a problem and I'm not telling, so you have to guess what it is" that a relationship with a figment of someone else's imagination would entail. We at least paid each other the basic common courtesy of actually existing.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Hmmm...

"Hey, wanna come back to my place and worship my god? On your knees is best."

Thanks, Min! I'm definitely giving this one a try! Big Grin

It's a common diversion tactic and one not only played by theists backed into a corner. Play the man, not the ball; make it personal and claim persecution when you retaliate. It's a cunt's trick but surprisingly effective.

Again, Drich, you're missing the point. The "good questions" are "good" in sense that they will get a Christian to truly think about their religion. How you would personally answer them is irrelevant.

I do like these ones:

Quote:When you declare a miracle, does this mean you understand everything that is possible in nature?

Quote:If humans declared fire to be a miracle thousands of years ago, would we still be huddling together in caves while we wait for God to fire another lightning bolt into the forest?

I can't wait to use these in conversation.
