Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Christianity could possibly become a minority religion in US as early as 2045…

Dang antlers...well said.

Read my reply when you are sober, then get back to me....as you do not make sense.

No gufuss, your interpretation is not what I believe....and so Christian of me....

Again that is your opinion, and now, at this phase of our discussions, who gives a shiet!

It's pretty simple. You admit that your story book has errors yet you are going to believe a story anyway, and a story version that you desperately want to be true. Most other kids just grow up and leave the fairy tales behind them.

You are an idiot....humans are not perfect, and it does not take away my belief in God the Bible....but you know what....the world would have been a better place if your dad had just pulled out....and that was very Christian of me....I believe you and your other aussie homo devil friend are pussies but most likely paid atheist trolls.....

Go ahead and shoot back, but everyone on the Fire won't give a shiet. Good luck and God can still save your sorry asp on your last dying breath.

Personal attacks and vitriol - the common stance for a badly defeated Christian around here.

I never expected any of you to give a 'shiet' about the truth or sorting fact from fiction. Faith is your thing. Faith brings you comfort, your comfort overides the value of truth, and that is why you defend your faith with such vitriol and hate for those who question.

Yet someone needs to provide a bit of balance. Perhaps you should just embrace the challenge without the displays of emotion, the constant wailing gets ridiculous.

I don't believe I would have said that. I know a good many atheists but I don't insult them and cast aspersions. The fact is I like some of them. Jesus in Matthew 5:16 "Let your light shine before men, that they might see your good works, and glorify your Father in the heavens". I expect these men are having a little sport with you and you rise to the bait every time. Why don't you tell them you love them and hope they will rethink their atheism?

DBT and Mauser....I love your soul and hope that you 2 will rethink atheism.

Excellent, that's a start.

You're almost a complete atheist yourself - just one more god to go. Put that critical thinking cap on and you'll get there.

Evidence justifies conviction. Absence of evidence justifies a lack of conviction. If a God presented itself openly and honestly, everyone would be a theist.

The authors of the New Testament documents, especially the eyewitnesses, took the time to document the life of Jesus so that people in the first century…during the time when these events happened…would know with certainty what had happened so their confidence and trust would be anchored to an actual event and to a real person. They wanted to ensure that it was anchored to that event ~ the resurrection of Jesus. That’s what launched Christianity.

They weren’t writing religious literature. They were documenting history as it unfolded. They were actually documenting someone's life, and they were living in the time when these things happened, and these things happened among them.

The New Testament texts are historically reliable documents. And the New Testament that we have now…in the Bible’s of today…are in agreement with the New Testament that has been preserved in more ancient manuscripts than any other ancient work of literature in all of history. And there are literally thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of ancient New Testament manuscripts that biblical scholars have used for comparison to verify that fact.

Again, skeptics dance around this fact because it makes em’ feel uncomfortable and it completely blows their position outta the water regarding the New Testament documents. The only alteration that has occurred is on the part of the skeptics themselves, who continue to intentionally try to alter this verifiable fact of the matter. And the only “problems” are the one’s that the skeptics clearly have with this verifiable fact of the matter.

But we don't have eyewitness accounts. The gospels were written many decades after the described events, copying between gospels, embellishments, Paul never met Jesus, etc. There are too many problems.

Not going to believe there is no supernatural power. Life as we know it, the universe as we know it cannot have happened spontaneously. There was a huge explosion of compressed matter and then conditions on our rock for a chemical reaction caused life to emerge? And become viruses, bacteria, amoeba, jellyfish, sharks, whales, rats , grass, trees, cacti, and man, etcetera? I grant there is adaptive evolution, but not spontaneous life from a chemical reaction. Not even in a few billion years.

You"re substituting what we honestly don't know for sure all the details of, with another mystery but one that you are willing to believe in without any evidence what so ever. Where did god come from? That mystery you are willing to ignore but accept as agiven. How does he have these superpowers? That's another mystery you are willing to ignore but accept as a given.

How did you ballpark or calculate the odds for the time it took for life to start appearing? What's the probability of a god existing considering there's nothing to substantiate that assertion? What's the probability of galaxy farting pixies existing considering there's nothing to substantiate that assertion?

Creation of the universe and evolution are rock solid science and any knowledge gaps are geting filled the more we discover. Everything in biology, medicine and argricultural science makes sense thank's to the science of evolution.

Ultimately everything is just chemicals and chemical interactions of some form. Magic or supernatural forces don't appear in any of the explanations that we have uncovered. The more we know, the more the magic disappears, like it never existed in the first place,

Then why do you, Raspy? These atheists have CLEARLY made their free-will choice to reject God/Jesus, as has Hastings, who has rejected the deity/divinity of Jesus our Savior and Lord and God.

Why do you give a chit? Why the incessant bantering back and forth? The world is full of God-haters and Jesus-rejectors. You can’t convince them or change them….

"John 3:16"

Exactly, Wabi, however, many have rejected the free gift of salvation and what Jesus Christ has done for us. He did it ALL. All we have to do is accept His work and sacrifice. He was rejected 2,000 years ago and continues to be rejected….
