To say that things can come in and out of existence is the same as magic and supernatural. To come in and out of existence with no pattern is something we have always believed God to do. In other words, your argument indirectly supports the existence of God and goes against materialsim or...

How can your theory be true when in the first place it is just that .........a theory? A theory is an educated guess. Furthermore, to say that things can come in and out of existence is the same as magic and supernatural. To come in and out of existence with no pattern is something we have...

Let me see if I understand this correctly......you are saying that things have always been in existence and that nothing was created? Doesn't science say that a cause has an effect, and that for every effect there is a cause?

Nothing cause existance? So, you are saying that nothing created the universe and everything in it. That is not logical and unscientific. Can you prove that nothing created the entire universe.

He is the first because something must be the source of ALL creation. If you want to believe that the universe itself is the source of all creation and the first, go right ahead. That only makes the universe your god.

As I said, a soldier who dies fighting for his country is not a martyr.

And I don't need to claim that something came into being from nothing as if by magic when I already know that it was God who created it.

Okay. Let's go back and take a closer look at your list: Julian the Apostate — Roman emperor who tried to bring polytheism back, was killed for it. Olvir of Egg — Killed under orders of the King of Norway for continuing to practice his pagan rituals. The Saxons who were beheaded by...

What makes you so sure that they are hallucinations? Don't you know that there are some things in life that science cannot explain?

I don't see that as absurd. I get the same thing from gay activists claiming that gay marriages were very common in the ancient world, but it was just not recorded.

Because my perception of things is not the same as yours. When you and I look up at the night sky, you and I don't see the same thing. You see with your eyes. I can see God in that night sky, and I can see God in a person. You expect people to see only what you see.

They died during a war fighting against invaders who wanted their land and to change their culture and religion. And even then, a majority of them end up giving up their religion. It was the same with what happened to the Native Americans. The European settlers fought against them, took their...

All humans perceive things differently. They are not the same. It is not us who can reasonably know God. We know God only through faith, and faith is a gift from God.

Not if they died for a country. Everyone misuses the word "martyr". Even a Buddhist monk who puts himself on fire is called a martyr for a certain cause. But killing yourself is still suicide..

Are you sure you are here to learn about Christianity or are you here to discredit our faith? What makes you think that your perception of things should be the same for every human?

The thing is....it's true. If you knew what "martyrs" are, then why do you go to those who fought in the Saxon Wars, the Crusade wars and to names of people whose deaths were even uncertain and who were killed by vengeful enemies. The next thing you will be telling me is that the African...

Really? How is it then that you did not know that the word "Martyr" means "witnesses?" When I asked what the martyrs stood to gain from dying.....I was referring to things of this world that even an unbeliever can understand. For example, the soldier who died for his country died for...

Suicide bombers are not martyrs and soldiers who die for their country are not martyrs. As I said, the word "martyr" means witness. The Christian martyrs of the first and second century were not fighters. They were witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If you really want to learn...

At one time, homosexuality was classified as a disorder in the DSM-II until the gay activists intimidated the APA into taking it out of the psychological disorder books. Like pedophilia, homosexuality is a disorder. Since the day the gay activists were able to pressure the APA into...

I never said that only Christians were martyrs. I said that there were only two religions that were martyrs.....Judaism and Christianity (See my post #18). Gain heaven?? And how would you know that from an atheist standpoint? To the pagans who saw them die in the arenas, it was their...
