No, it's the fool who said in his heart that there is no God who is silly. When you become a man you'll put away those childish things like scorn, smug self-exaltation, a sniff-necked hard-heart against the Lord, unbelief, scoffing at believers, the pride of life, carnal mindedness centered on the senses, vain conceits and mockery. You might think you need the atheist kiddie doubt to feel comfortable, but it won't comfort you.

I respect people's right to believe what they want.

But .... Who's going to be better off in eternity if it is real? Believers or nonbelievers?
Who's going to be worse off in eternity if it is true? Believers or nonbelievers?

Just something to consider.
Carry on and have a nice day.

So now you want to quibble over shorthand instead of the point made?

Any honest Christian will tell you that there are difficulties in our worldview. Things that are very hard to explain.

What critics often fail to do is look at the much larger problems implicated in what they believe.

You can believe as you link but there are massive holes in the materialistic worldview.

You claim it's just a difference of opinion but, like Armchair, you feel compelled to mock it by calling it a crutch and magic. You guys just can't help yourself.

Lol. You my friend are lost. There is no mockery in my posts. Only MY beliefs. If you don't agree I don't care.

Whatever your beliefs are, I would think this type of activity would be approved by all. Some of these kids may have never had the opportunity to be involved in anything like this. You don't believe in God, fine, but hopefully you had the opportunity to learn and make your own decision. Jmo tho.

I 100% agree everyone should be given their own decision. However some households it's believe this or else and that's how people grow to despise religion. Nothing should be forced on anyone, religious or non religious

And you're missing the fundamental point --

Look at your avitar / we all see it. Do you really think that came about from a big bang (ie, without design by our Creator)?
Click to expand...

Actually, in astronomy, the only scientific empirical findings we have of the beginning of the cosmos ALL support of the concept of the "Big Bang". We have NO empirical evidence of any other beginning to the universe. No empirical evidence for "oscillating" "steady state" inflationary" or "multiverses" exist. No "rebounding cosmos".

All we have is easily repeated (thousands of times) evidences that the universe began from an infintesimally small point, a singularity, and has exploded out of that.

And God said, "Let there be light".

Consider all things, hold fast to what is true.

First image is a collage to explain what we actually "see" when astronomers look out at night, and focus all our various types of visual, infra red, radio signal, type telescopes deeper and deeper into space. They actually are "time travel decices" that because of the vast distances involved, let us peer back into the beginnings of the universe about 13.7 billion years ago.

The second image is the latest, highest resolution image of background radiation emitted after the big bang.

We easily repeat these tests, over and over.

Now many will start that 13+ billion years vs. 6000+/- years means I can't believe in the bible. Not true. Nowhere in the old or new testaments are the actual age of creation given. Bishop Ussher's margin notes of his calculations (NOT scripture) are from the King James, no earlier. Nor can I believe God 'tricks' us by making an illusion of a much more ancient universe in the night sky. It is as we see and measure it.

The good thing is, NONE of this age of creation stuff matters with respect to my being accepted by my creator. The ONLY thing that matters as far as my acceptance by him, is DO I ACCEPT Him?

I think I know what you're saying... You're saying that it is uncertain, right?

Believers in ToE don't look at it that way. They look at it like people in operational sciences look at the "theory" of relativity. As something that while it cannot be absolutely proven nonetheless must be used to explain a whole branch of science.

My response to the garbage post he spewed agrees with what the word of God says to correct it.

I didn't "spew garbage."

I rebuked falsehood with all authority as commanded by scripture as is my inheritance.

Atheists don't have that authority in Christ because they reject it in favor of idolizing their senses and self instead.

What? Lot of words there. I don't consider myself a critic. I simply don't believe. Straight up.

You could say something similar for Christians. Why do some Christians notice I said SOME feel the need to force their beliefs on everyone? Is it bc they're not positive their beliefs are true? Does making other people believe help reinforce what they believe? It's a double edged sword in the end we should let everyone believe whatever they want and leave it at that. Atheists too just let people believe whatever.

Not everyone believes in the word of your God therefore it's spewing garbage just like if an atheist was trying to justify himself to a Christian he would be spewing garbage. Maybe you should try being open minded

Was talking about this the other day with someone. Ive never understood how atheist get so offended by something they believe doesnt exist.
Click to expand...

I wouldn't say I've seen people get offended, they just tend to be condescending to Christians for being "sheep". On the flip side of that coin, there are numerous Christians out there who are self-righteous and act condescendingly to non-Christians. I really don't understand the "why" to either one of those.

When I discuss Christianity with an atheist, I say the same thing to them that was said to me by a non-condescending Christian when I was an atheist.

"Being a Christian boils down to the two commandments that Christ said were above all others--love God and love each other. So Christians should live their lives loving God and being as good as possible to their fellow man. Is that so terrible? And look at it this way, if at the end of your life, you are right and I am wrong, you've lost nothing. But, if I'm right and you're wrong, you've lost everything."

His words hit me like a sledgehammer and left me with my mouth open looking for something intelligent to say. I had nothing to counter that so I just shut up. I began to search for Christ and once I felt him, there was no denying it.

So many preachy politics forum racists in this thread. Hypocritical hilarity.
