    You're living your life as a follower, a sheep, just jumping on bandwagons hoping to find something. Here you're looking for Christianity to do the leg work for you. You inherently know it's not going to work. You want, you need, but you're still wanting to be fed a bottle of milk like a...

    If atheists get accused of taking verses out of context, how do we know fundamentalists making those accusations aren’t doing the same as well?

    Oh don't get me wrong I know perfectly well what you refer to. I'm simply playing devil's advocate to highlight the nonsense of religious dogma. The Bible is clear on all this. So-called Christians oft pray the Lord's Prayer which clearly shows the way: "Thy will be done, on Earth as it is...

    Let's explore When a sperm and a woman's egg come together do you believe those 2 items contain everything needed to create an animated living human being? Or do you believe that there is a 3rd element, a "spark" of life energy that appears from somewhere which is the true source of human...

    Truly, given a choice of living eternally with a being that is happy to send people to a lake of fire I think I would pass. What you suggest is like giving in to Hitler, choosing a life under Hitler's rule because you're afraid of being free. Hitler sent thousands into gas chambers. Is it...

    You buried a body, not a soul/spirit You can not die. That which is truly you is immortal. It's been here since the beginning of the universe. You don't need to bow down to anyone, make any blood sacrifice, jump through hoops for this immortality. You already have it. The devil (which...

    Death is change, nothing more. It is the end of a form not the end of life. Odd that a so-called Christian who should believe in the difference between the body and the soul/spirit can't see that destroying the body is not the same as destroying the soul/spirit. Energy can neither be...

    Could Christian transphobia/homophobia have been a factor in the Nashville Christian school shooting?

    Ok here are 2 glaring contradictions: Regarding the Earth "... the earth abideth for ever." -- Ecclesiastes1:4 "... the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." -- 2 Peter 3:10 Regarding seeing god "... I have seen God face to...

    Your logic is badly badly flawed. Terminally so. If you're wrong, you're going to die because your religious arrogance prevented you from searching out the scientific substance, source of life energy, that can prevent your death and allow you to live forever. Not to mention as well that you...

    Patently not. People thought solar eclipses were some kind of incredible magic until later on science and astronomy informed humans of the truth. You're simply the equivalent of a Horoscope reader intent on looking for things to confirm your latest horoscope. No objectivity. It stems from...

    Lovely. As I said, self-aggrandising rhetoric. No attempt to provide real facts and input. Readers will draw their conclusions accordingly. Thanks for playing. Next . . .

    Ah right so God doesn't sometimes give you what you pray for. This you freely admit. Progress. So . . . John 13:14 "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." Matt 21:22 "And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing...

    Wrong. We have every right to expect of any God that requires us to behave in specific ways, to be a model for those behaviours themselves. Otherwise there's no rational reason for us to submit to or worship such a being. I wouldn't worship Hitler, he was a mass murderer. Why would anyone...

    This is just deflection and diversion. It won't wash I'm afraid. So I will ask the question again an repeat until you answer: Can you be honest with yourself? Can you be honest with readers here? Can you admit that you have prayed for things numerous times and those things have not been...

    I'll just take this one line from the longer pile of nonsensical verbiage there. There is so much material available that shows the literal reading of the Bible is not right. Here's some examples: https://answering-christianity.com/abdullah_smith/historical_errors_in_the_gospels-3.htm...
