Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Why Are You a Christian?

The "Big Bang" was neither big, nor a bang. This argument is an appeal to your personal incredulity, which is another logical fallacy.

Why did god give me nipples? I'm a guy and don't really need them

hmmmm - you said that YOU were laughing. Check your post. Laugh on - you may be laughing alone.

And, you are fishing again with that question. If I were Roman Catholic, it would make no material difference in your case - same old, same old for you.

So you would ask high IQ questions. Yep, you're right. HE wasted them on you.

Your concern should be more about why Christians
feel the need to Bend and mold a God into convenient
versions of their own personal liking.

Thanks for the nice greeting and good wishes, Even with high altitude storms, the worst thing about NM winter weather is the meeting of the legislature.

AS, you posit that reasoning should be employed and that HUMAN reasoning says "convince the person, not torture them" as if those are the only alternatives/behaviors that may be involved/possible in such a matter.. Not at all the case. And, kindly explain, if you will, the reasons the behavior of the Almighty should or would be at all influenced by human reasoning. Could be seen as a ruthless question.

Is the death penalty murder ?

Nice deflection, but your position is intellectually indefensible. Disproving evidence for God is not proof there is no God.

You claim there is no God, but there is no evidence (that there is no God); therefore, you believe that by faith (like believers).

There is no proof of God’s nonexistence, thank God.

Demanding proof of God would require that a person know all evidence of the existence of God and know ALL things. One would have to be in all places of our huge universe. If you could do that, A Sniper, YOU would be God.

Even IF you had good, hard evidence, your scientism and intellectual ego would not allow you to accept it.

Plus, your existing presuppositions are in opposition to the existence of our glorious supreme God.

In order for you to accept ANY evidence, you have to change your presuppositional base that there is no God. And therein lies the problems with atheists. Quite the sad conundrum it is for you folks.

You would need a major shift in your belief system and remove your presuppositional hostility and arrogance to any evidence for the existence of our Almighty God.

The only true god in an atheist’s world is the atheist.

P.S. You really must work on that smug intellectual arrogance. It gives atheists a bad rap.

Mosts folks here are not into guessing games
So best you enlighten them to my 'usual tactics'
whatever you imagine them to be..

Whats holding you back?

So far you have only shown empty words
and cowardice.

So what do you use yours for?

Hint: It's a link to evolution. Did god give us an appendix for purpose of destruction as he sees fit? He didn't get me because the doctors removed mine before peritonitis could set in.

One has to wonder how many Christians, on here and elsewhere, need or should attend to a person telling them what they should be concerned about with regard to their beliefs. How does one manage to arrogate to himself (or herself) the authority to dictate the concerns of a Christian? Is that a special quality held by non-Christians?

hmmmm - you said that YOU were laughing. Check your post. Laugh on - you may be laughing alone.

And, you are fishing again with that question. If I were Roman Catholic, it would make no material difference in your case - same old, same old for you.

Methinks you are way overly presumptuous with your sweeping definition of "we" - you simply don't get to sweep all others here into your leaky thinking/reasoning bucket. Me also thinks that in speaking for"we", you simply must have a mouse in your pocket.

Christians make it their business to be God botherers
the world over, Going about telling non christians
that their Gods are false and that they need to find
Jesus.

Nope.

I claim that no theist has met their burden of proof.


That's not the same think and claiming there is no god.

Additionally, read my posts more carefully. I don't ask for proof. I ask for good evidence.

Asking for "proof" can in and of itself be a "Red Herring" fallacy, because it's often used in a way that implies "proof beyond doubt".

Heck even Richard Dawkins doesn't claim to know there is not god(s) beyond a shadow of a doubt. On a scale of 1 to 7 he claims to be 6.5 on his level of certainty that no god(s) exist.

There's also a few dishonest tactics theist tend to use in conjunction with to what you are trying to do, i.e. "shifting the burden of proof". Next they will "move the goal posts", by changing their definition of god(s). Consequently it's important to carefully define any god before one can take up the anti-theist position that a specific god does not exist.

As for the initial state of my presuppositions, once again you are totally wrong. My Journey began with 1st Peter 3:15:

3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in you hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

Unfortunately I could find no evidence that met scrutiny. I was promised much but in the end, those who claimed to have evidence abandoned their claims of evidence and plead their case on the basis of Faith, which we see in this thread as well.

But if you have some real evidence (notice I did not say "proof") let's here it. I'm open to hear what you believe and why you belief it, and why you belief your claims meet their burden of proof.

Maybe try treating him courteously.

Matthew 5:22 ......Whosoever shall say, Thou fool shall be in danger of hellfire. Straight from the mouth of Yeshua. The thing that strikes me most about this thread is how the prophet's followers and friends have been giving him a bad name for centuries. Or at least casting him a bad light that he doesn't deserve. I have friends that take issue when I say I believe Yeshua was who he said he was and that his message was true. My tactic is to not alienate them or tell them they are stupid. Any"Christian" would just about have to admit that the nominal Christian church has created enough mayhem and depravity to strip it completely of respectability.

They should be as skeptical about their unbelief.

Not in this country. That's covered under "Congress shall make no law regarding the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..."

The only power anyone should have over your deeply held foundational beliefs is that of their reason.

I hope this does not surprise you. It is every true Christians desire that everyone will find Christ

Hilarious when we have members of a reknown
God bothering faith, that made it a global mission
of brainwashing folks into their Beliefs...

Now taking exception to being told something.

CCCC needs to think before he types.
Albeit a tall order for CF christians.



No it comes as no surprise at all, that primitive cult
mindsets try to justify their brainwashing tactics
and schemes.
