It is you, not I, that cried: "Give us Barabbas!"
How long do you think that Jesus would last with the likes of you? If Christ returned to earth, you would have him assassinated!
Nemo said:Precisely. Jesus was not the Messiah (Christ died "King of the Jews"); and, for two thousand years, his name has been taken in vain.

nkgupta80 said:Its all faith-based claims.
This is incorrect, at least in the way you meant it. He could have the same faith in god as you do and still say that all your claims are faith based. So, he doesn't have to have faith that there is no god to say such a thing. He may just "not know" whether there is a god, and see evidence that you really don't either.Youth4Morals said:Faith - a belief in an unseen thing.
when you say all my claims are faith based, you are saying that you have total faith that there is no god.
nkgupta80 said:Anyways when i said that yhey were faith-based claims iwas pointing out that all you say about christianity is not unique to christianity itself.
No, but convincing yourself of these things would.Youth4Morals said:Then you are saying that I could possibly "make" myself do anything within physical boundries just by simply imagining the positive input of imaginary friends and believing in myself?
Really? And you are able to back the involvement of demons in helping people manage their recovery from drugs with evidence, I assume?This is where you stumble onto whitchcraft. This is "natural" but the unseen part of it is the imput of a Demon. The reason I say this is because you are relying on the unseen (Or imagined) to "assist" (Or in a subtle way - harm) you.
Atheists have evidence for the things they believe. Evolutionists have mountains of evidence for the things they believe. They have reasonable "faith" due to backing evidence."Unreasonable faith without evidence..." If an athiest/Evolutionist (^.^) says that about our belief, then how on earth could they prove theirs?
Are you trying to claim that you require complete explanatory evidence amounting to absolute proof for the things you believe? Or have you merely decided to absolutely believe something that you have found to be plausible?Atheists that claim evolution... well prove to me where the "missing" links are? When I see the complete geological column in ANY place COMPLETE I will double check my beliefs.
So, what are you saying here? That using less of our brain power than apes makes us lower than apes, and thus it is not reasonable to claim we could have evolved from them?How can we have "evolved" from apes yet constantly use less and less of our total brain power? (The average man today uses 6~9%... it was at one point 100%...)
I thought as much. Well, Atheists are not in the habit of ardently resisting the changing of one's mind. This is part of why you can't equate Atheist acceptance of a theory with faith.And you are right - Claiming a faith involves "an ardent resistance to changing one's mind"
Youth4Morals said:Those were written 2000+ years ago. Someone said it earlier - Christ is the ONLY God to DIE AND RESSURECT HIMSELF.
The Quezicoatl dispute is voided - HE NEVER DIED.
Arch Enemy said:I'm sorry, but creationism is the most ridiculous thing one can ever imagine. The idea that Women were made out of the rib of a male.. there's no way one can find that to be the truth.
Whether you're expecting it or not, the Christian Church's are under-going a new evolution. A few fellow Church members and myself believe that Creationism is not the answer, though we still consider ourselves "Christians".

dogger807 said:Read up on the ancient Egyptian religions. Death and resurrection is not new with and unique with the christian religion. And it could be constrewed that Quetzalcoatl is a better god than Jesus since he never got killed.
Come on guys, you can do better than spout relgious dogma to prove chrstianity is true and all others are false. There has to be some proof to justify your blind faith. There is no way a bunch of people would believe something that can be proven fictional with research. (Ok , let's not count the mormon faith here, what a bunch of bloody idiots.)
dogger807 said:Ok, it's a given that no one can prove either the existence or non existence of something that does not exist. So my question here is not whether god exists in any format or not. What I want to know is how, assuming that he/she/it does exist how can you.
Insist that the christian religion is right and all others wrong.
How is it any different from any religion that came before (and is in fact a composite of several "pagan" religions.)
I'm not debating the existence of an all powerful being here. I'm debating whether christianity has any clue on what this being is and how he might act.
anomaly said:To respond to the original thread, Christianity simply has no evidence that it is the 'true' religion. The only people who believe that Christianity is truth are Christians. Now does that shock anybody?
