questions for a christian

RE: questions for a christian
Lighthouse, I'm sure you're a lovely person, but you do know what a fallacy is, right?
It's a statement which holds no logical truth...
The most common fallacy demonstrated by theists is circular reasoning.
Eg: the bible is true because it says so right there in the bible!

We're more than happy to know you're a theist. It just gets ugly when you try to validate it through logical means.
Why bother? It wasn't reasoning or logic which got you hooked on the skymage and son in the first place.
It's a subjective emotional concept you're addicted to, nothing more.
Who cares if it's bullshit? It brings you comfort, right? Everyone's happy then..

PS, you can convince all of us that god is real, it means nothing, you will still die and decompose like the rest of us
Harsh words, I know. Theists don't like hearing realistic shit like that. But it does expllain the popularity of religions I s'pose.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

I especially like the proscriptions on how to beat your slave properly, and also the one about what happens when your daughter gets raped. In this PC culture we live in now, women are all uppity and think they can just say whatever they want, too. Thank goodness the Bible gives us advice on that, too.

Just chock full of solid advice on how to live your life.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Protons and Electrons did not exist when the big bang happened.
Your bible does not contain one reference to either protons, electrons, or the big bang.

You do understand that if you were born in Algeria you'd feel exactly the same way about the koran?  You do know that, right?  You're a jesus freak as an accident of birth and nothing else.

ignoramus. btw i love your usertag. no im not a theist there is not option for christian. surprise.

But actually there's a lot of truth in the bible and not because it tells me. Im not a sheep. I don't just believe anything I hear. Theres science to it.

I know where i'm going when I die. Probably thrown into a fire or left on the bottom of the ocean for my faith.

doesn't really bother me.

death used to really bother me

hmmmmm accident of birth. I'm sure life is all an accident right. The odds that earth would exist are actually scientifically labelled impossible unless given an infinite amount of tries or opportunity and last i checked the universe is expanding so it probably doesn't go on for infinite. That's just the possibility for our rock to be in the exact space it is from the sun in order to hold life. this is not including the tilt or wide array of material on the periodic table or the gravity/ size of earth or the atmosphere or placement of our sun in our galaxy. An argument for this is that there are different kinds of life able to be formed on different planets they are just micro. the thing is. we havent found any micro. so thats a theory.

but yeah im sure its all just an accident.

also I wasn't born christian. I could be an atheist. My location is certainly on point for that.

Lol. You have to type it in, but that wouldn't preserve your persecution complex.

lighthouses are so great. i've been to a few and used to live by one. I think of home when I think of a lighthouse.

doves are a thing of purity and after dealing with my past and coming out of it, being pure with my mind and body is very important to me

did you look at my sources? they did exist with the big bang.

my bible doesn't reference something that didn't have a name or even could be thought of through the natural senses. spoiler alert. they didn't have technology to see protons or electrons when genesis was written.

and it does reference the big bang. the starting point of the universe. the beginning. How are you about to just disregard all the facts i laid down?

RE: questions for a christian
So you like the bible. You didn't really answer my question regarding what you take "truth" to mean, but whatever it is, you think you have it in the bible. Peachy.

Tell me, since you seem to be a bible literalist do you also believe in a young earth, judgement day, heaven and hell?
