Christian answering questions.

[Mister Agenda]

Meh. In my view, chancier would be living life according to dogma put down by uninformed, ignorant men thousands of years ago, and cherry-picked by uninformed, barbaric, and controlling men hundreds of years after that.

If the god of creation chooses to damn most of the atheists on this board, it's his loss. For the most part, we are a decent, empathetic, charitable, hard-working group of people. If we're not whom he wants in his kingdom, I'll pass on being included.

 Really you would pass on a life that is going to be so good it's not describable in any way man could understand. It seems to me the people who claim to be intelligent and want to learn would want to spend an eternity learning about the eternal God, eternal as in his being is so vast we can't ever learn everything about God. You would trade this opportunity to spend an eternity suffering in hell, no chance of learning anything new ever, I'm not saying hell is a fire and brimstone place, it's a place of regret and hate beyond belief.

Let me ask you this have you ever studied the Bible to find out what it truly holds and what it tells us about the eternal God of creation?

Your posts show no indication of you having a life so good it's indescribable. Serenity is not one of your virtues.

If you send me a thousand dollars, I'll make sure you get a billion in the thirty days following, which you can use to spread the Gospel. If you don't, a terrorist will blow up your house with you and your family in it. These are all things we know can really happen. Will you send me the money? If not, why not?

Can you say confirmation bias? I bet you can.

 On this subject the bias belongs to the atheist.

GC

What you said was,

No one can know how God will answer prayer so any study is just an assumption at best and yes I have seen prayer work and guess what your assumptions don't change a thing.

I don't think I have to add anything really as what you said was almost the definition of confirmation bias.

GC uses a lot of words he doesn't actually understand, usually in flaccid, "Oh yeah?  Well, that goes double for you!  Neener neener!" retorts.

 Yes confirming your bias against Christians, my statement was true and not pointed toward anyone but the ones doing a bogus study they have absolutely no control over.

You have no proof how the universe started and Christians have as much right to be in the political arena as atheist do.
GC

Christians have every right to be there. They don't have the right to infringe the rights of others. Same as atheists, muslims or whatever. Your right ends where it infringes the rights of others. So shoving your belief down everyone's throat isn't a right but a presumption.

I was made to memorize the wholly babble as a child.  I had to memorize a passage every day and recite it before dinner each night from the ages of 7-18.  

Nobody can prove that an afterlife of any kind exists.  Heaven is just fantasy, and hell is a threat created by priests to control people.

 For someone who can recite the entire Bible you sure do not us it to defend your position. God's proved it to me and many others.

 Come on dummy, I was speaking of heaven. Can I consider this a contract, I could use a billion dollars, living on a small disability check doesn't allow for much, but I am grateful for what I have.

I'm aware that sexual abuse goes on in most all denominations, I do know that the Southern Baptist have stood behind the law and reported case that were known about by them before the police did. I'm sure there were some cover ups locally but not by the SBC. I do believe those guilty should spend time in jail, actually I do not think any child abuser should ever be let out of prison. My personal belief is that these men were using their position to abuse children an were probably never Christians to start with. God warns people about misusing children and the punishment to come. There are bad apples in all part of society atheist included.

Irreligion and domestic violence
The irreligious have a higher rate of domestic violence (See: Irreligion and domestic violence). In addition, some of Europe's most secular countries have significant problems with domestic violence (see: Secular Europe and domestic violence).[...]

LOLOLOLOL!

Let me stop you right there. Conservapedia? Really?! Yeah - you can f*ck right off with all those "facts" and "statistics"...

 I would rather be a God guided sheep[...]

Yeah, I have no doubt. Being an adult living in a real world is tough - better to live as a slave to an imaginary dictator-nanny... lol
