Dude, nothing at all was intended as a personal attack and I do live a very moral life. I do agree with most of Jesus' moral teachings. Thanks for...
Pics or GTFO ;) (I'm not bipolar, I swear. I'm just listening a bit. I think it goes back to the blanket statements issue. I know too many...
You're right. I need to be careful with blanket statements. I suppose I make them more often since I was raised in a very conservative 7th Day...
For what it's worth - do you call yourself a Christian? Because I don't know anybody who claims to be a believer in Zeus just because the like the...
I'm cool with that, man. I can respect that through and through. We are probably very similar, then. Because I believe in a lot of Jesus' message,...
It's a joke to me that the only solid reason for prayer is the psychological benefit. So it's basically cool to make up anything for the...
First off - I do believe in coincidences and I do believe in amazing things. But believing in miracles is not a rational belief. If a tornado...
Okay. But if you choose to do it, it would seem that you believe there's something to it. So is the power of prayer demonstratable in any way?...

A truly almighty God could have created better 'rules' for the planet, which didn't require natural disasters to maintain healthy, habitable...
I wasn't arguing that there is for certainty no afterlife. I tried to make that clear with my first line "let's pretend..." I was responding to...
Let's face it - religious folk don't have "reasons" for belief that would satisfy atheists. They believe for a number of reasons that just aren't...
So rhester, if God doesn't cause all natural disasters and if sin doesn't cause them either - why did God create the potential for natural...
I never said that God caused ALL natural disasters, I simply refuted your comment that said, based on the Bible, you don't believe he pulls levers...
No doubt. Let's pretend it is a "fact" that there is no afterlife - what is more depressing of the two options? 1: spending your only life...
So you're saying that the Bible doesn't provide any reason for people to believe that God pulls levers and pushes buttons to make natural...
So rhester... what will heaven be like? Because the Christians I know say "perfect". Does that mean we won't have free will? The same people will...
