Who's gonna break the news to people who are burning forever just for not believing?

I don't understand this. So... the bad people just... vanish into nothingness?

That is probably one of the few good things about me being me, I can understand the perspectives of both religion (Christianity mostly) and atheism. I can see the positives and negatives of both. If there's no God, then good and bad are just "what people think". As in, one is not better than the...

You sure showed me! I should hope not, even as an atheist, I don't know how other atheists just walk around with the thought process of "There's nothing after, oh well! (whistles without a care in the world)" No, that means that Hitler gets the final say over all the Jewish people killed. That...

I never said I hated him. There are good atheists out there, and there are bad religious people. Does God still favor the bad religious people simply because they believe in him? Wouldn't that be insecure and petty?

Can you read God's mind? Do you completely, 100% know the mechanics of how he helps people?

Okay..?

I don't get it. And I was unbanned from that forum, which took a lot of finesse. I'm sure you read that part already, but still.

Me bringing up the whole "lies from the enemy" thing was a reference to what Michiah-Imla was saying about my posts. This isn't about me not wanting to admit something. It was just about me saying that I wouldn't completely rely on the book, at least not historically. Yes, there are fossils...

You mean how I started off with "I could never agree with that horrible book" and then said "I agree with some parts"? That never changed. I'm sure my wording threw everyone off. Let me rephrase things: there were always parts of the Bible I could get behind, but I can't agree with that book as...

Isn't that story the Frog and the Scorpion? I already knew that story; wanna know where I heard it? An episode of The Sopranos. Science is not always "lies from the enemy". Anti-Bible things are not always "evil" like most Christians like to think they are. The Bible is a book that was written...

Well, once things get supernatural, my beliefs start to slip away. The Bible mentions that a few women discovered that Christ's body wasn't where it was left, and back then, women were not as respected back then as they are now. So I guess that leaves my beliefs in the grey zone.

I probably should have stated that just because the whole Adam and Eve stuff didn't happen, that doesn't mean God doesn't exist. It would just mean those events didn't happen. I still believe in the events surrounding Christ and how he died.

Sure? I mean, that's unrelated, so I'm fairly neutral to that. How old do you think the Earth is?

There is overwhelming evidence of not only evolution, but the true age of the Earth. If we started out as apes, then archaic humans, how would Adam and Even fit in there?

So you agree that Adam and Eve walked the Earth, and were tricked by a talking snake? I'm not saying it's the worst book ever made, I'll even go so far to say that it might be the most interesting one in existence. Me saying that the book contradicts some history and science is not always "lies...

Theeeeeeeeen... why are you so shocked when I don't agree with parts of the Bible? Isn't that what you would expect from an atheist?

I looked it up, the internet tells me that Jesus asked John to do it. His final act of his private life. His obedience to God. My answer before looking that up would've been "just tradition". Was that what allowed him into heaven?

Guy was the son of God, I don't think not being baptized was the one thing keeping him from Hell. Am I the first atheist you've ever known in your life?

Excellent counter-argument. This isn't a discussion, this is just you venting and very angrily defending the Bible. You're speaking to an atheist, you shouldn't be shocked when a person who isn't a Christian doesn't see the Bible as this golden, perfect invention that was written by other flawed...
