I heard a story once:There was this kid who had a brain tumor and the doctors spent 16 hours carefully removing it. There was a high mortality rate for people who have this kind of tumor but still the doctors/surgeons did whatever they can to save the kid. Fortunately, the kid survived. First reaction from the parents? "Oh thank you GOD!!" Thank you Jesus!" Sometimes credit isn't really given where credit is due.

If God doesn't exist, then how did we come to be?

Have you ever heard of the big bang theory? And we are homo sapien sapien today because we evolved not because "God" formed together a lump of clay on the ground and breathed into its nostrils.

The Big Bang Theory is as likely as throwing a puzzle up in the air and having all the pieces land to form the picture. Science says that, not religion. Do you really think that will ever happen? If you do, then you are the gullible one.

Tough crap; you can't force people into atheism. Likewise, you can't force people into faith.

My grandpa told me about a guy down the street who didn't shovel his walk becuase "The Lord would help him". My mom's response was what you just said. Stinkin' crazies, ruin it for the rest of us.

I can pray while I work. It's not like I need to devote an hour to plead with God. I can just quietly ask him to help.

I feel sooo sorry for the people who don't believe in prayer or in God.. i mean, what is the point of living if you don't? just to take up space in this world? we were born to serve God and praise him!

Call me embittered, but if God let me be raped, then I'm not really sure that I want anything to do with him.

You think that was God's fault? He blessed us with free will. It was not his doing. It was Man's.

Depends what type of work.

That's a relevant question. Here's another; where did God come from? Why is it so easy for Christians to accept that God just always existed and that we'll never know how, but can't for the life of them accept that we'll possibly never know how humans came to be. "Maybe the world wasn't made. Maybe nothing was made... A clock without a craftsman"

Christianity is based on the Bible. The Bible states how Man was created. That's how we know.

It's God's word.

And how do you know it's God's word, did God tell you?

uh, yeah... In the Bible.

Think about what you just said, that would be the equivalent of Darwin say in his thesis "Keep in mind that I said so, so it's obviously true." You have no proof that anything in the Bible was even vaguely influenced by any real events, it could be a fiction book taken out of context for all we know. I'm not saying you're stupid for believing in something, I'm saying you're stupid for believing it without open-mindedly thinking it through.

I have thought it through. There is much evidence in today's life that points to the Bible being accurate.

The book of Leviticus (written prior to 1400 BC) describes the value of blood. Leviticus 17:11 ‘For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.’ The blood carries water and nourishment to every cell, maintains the body’s temperature, and removes the waste material of the body’s cells. The blood also carries oxygen from the lungs throughout the body. In 1616, William Harvey discovered that blood circulation is the key factor in physical life—confirming what the Bible revealed 3,000 years earlier. The Bible describes the suspension of the Earth in space. Something not discovered historically til much later. Job 26:7 He stretches out the north over empty space; He hangs the earth on nothing.

The 4 humors were very common in that era's medicine, which is quite obviously what it's referring to. Not discovered maybe, but always believed. What this passage references is actually meant as a metaphor, as most scholars will inform you, it means that there is nothing but the Earth, Heaven, and Hell. Try again.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

You are saying the four humors were popular when the Bible was written? That is simply not true. I have taken theology classes and most scholars believe this to be a prophesy. not a metaphor. Don't make things up. The Bible specifies that there is more than Heaven, Hell, and Earth. It talks of stars, the sun, and the moon. The Bible frequently refers to the great number of stars in the heavens. Genesis 22:17 Blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. Even today, scientists admit that they do not know how many stars there are. Only about 3,000 can be seen with the naked eye. We have seen estimates of 10^21 stars—which is a lot of stars (The number of grains of sand on the earth’s seashores is estimated to be 10^25. As scientists discover more stars, wouldn’t it be interesting to discover that these two numbers match?) You said try again...

Look, I'm not really that interested in continuing an argument with a belligerent zealot anymore, so I'll end with this: You have just proven that you are an invalid source of information. You'll ask how, simple: You're comment about the humors, which were popular since Ancient Greece up until about Phineas Gage's time. Now this is just one piece of information, but it shows that you are not at all well-versed in the subject matter. Also, you can throw credentials at me all you want, but you're understanding of your own religion is laughable at best. Maybe if you studied religion the way I do you would be a Humanist too, hmm?

by Anonymous 12 years ago

You say you are done arguing, continue arguing, and call me belligerent? Calling me a zealot is a compliment. I feel I have defended myself and my religion just fine and have proven my understanding undoubtedly. I have also shown that I have studied religion. If the way you study religion has made you as belligerent as you are, I don't want to study the way you do. I am truly sorry you feel the way you do.
