Imagine an existance of spending ones life trying to disprove something, and convince others, of something that you don't believe in to begin with lol. Imagine an existence spending ones life trying to convince people fairy tales are real.

Should add, out of a bunch of self professed Christians that I know, most are not what I would deem a Christian. A few are. miles I used to do dispute resolution and settlement negotiations for a major brokerage firm. The more the counter party talked about how religious they were, regardless of the professed religion, the more of a snake they were. Ralph Waldon Emerson "the louder he talked of his honor the faster we counted our spoons".
Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.

Then why don’t these ‘persecuted’ atheists start atheist threads so they can discuss their religion with other atheists…? I doubt very much that the theists would even participate.

I have no idea how old the Earth is. I am a follower of Christ. There are lots of things I do not know. I believe what the Bible teaches. I further believe the Bible is not a complete history of everything that ever happened. i to agree with you, theres so much more to learn if one digs deeper

I doubt it. But you made the assertion earlier that the most active atheists here were posting in “self-defense”. I called boolschit on that assertion. You didn’t refute it. At all. Instead you simply diverted to ‘another’ assertion (above) that had zero to do with the conversation at hand.

That's an interesting theology you have. You're saved so you can be a dick and it doesn't matter. That might work on the internet, but if this is how you behave in real life, and some point I suspect your mouth will write a check your body can't cash, and Jesus won't be there to save you. Flatter yourself, random irrelevant internet atheist with nothing new to add, to think your random irrelevant internet opinion matters........ I wouldn't expect you to even remotely understand any of this. You haven't in the past, you don't now, and it's highly doubtful you will in the future. It's far deeper than your vast "superior intellect" can possibly grasp. And if you want to try cashing MY check, then step right up and giver your level best...... A good example of the argument from emotion. Well done. There you go again, thinking someone like me cares about the opinion of a random godless heathen. Well done, or something. There you go thinking that anyone cares about you, your beliefs, dellusions or fantasies. It has nothing to do with you.

EVIDENCE. Crystal clear evidence. You appear to have your own special definition of 'evidence.'

I further believe the Bible is not a complete history of everything that ever happened. i to agree with you, theres so much more to learn if one digs deeper AND 'we have been given all things pertaining to life and GODliness', and would do well to focus there. There ARE a lot of things I/we don't know, and it's not wrong to be curious, but in the end, it apparently doesn't matter that much............ OR we would have been told!!

This statement is not exactly the way things are. Religeon has always been in schools, government and public policy. It is the others trying to push religeon out. miles

I don't care about you or your beliefs. Claims are being made and claims are being questioned, that's all. It can't be helped if that upsets you. Perhaps you are too sensitive.

I don't care about you or your beliefs. Good. Now prove it by shutting the hell up and move on. Stop berating the believers here else get that back in return.

This statement is not exactly the way things are. Religeon has always been in schools, government and public policy. It is the others trying to push religeon out. miles About 10 to 15 years ago there was a pretty significant Christian movement to teach Young Earth Creationism, intelligent design, and other religious ideas in science classes. In Texas they tried to get warning stickers on Biology Textbooks that evolution was "just a theory". So yes, Christians have been trying to infiltrate the science class.

RHODent, I assume you say this while living in a Christian Nation, the USA, or if you are in Canada, it is also a Christian Nation, it is YOU that are "trying to push" your shyte. Its YOU and people like YOU who are taking from us lol. Why do people who are not Christians immigrate to Christian Nations, then try to change them? answer = so they can fugg them up.
