While I'm not going to get dragged back into this, I'd just like to point something out. That's not an ad hominem. That was a simple insult. An ad hominem is an insult, usually more general, in an attempt to discredit the person and therefore discredit the argument. I was simply expressing my...

Your problem is that you're looking at it as two opposing worldviews. Stop that. We are not arguing worldviews, we are arguing assertions. You keep asserting that the Bible is the word of God. Back it up. I'm sorry, but you're a moron. Because the Bible says that I believe in god, no matter...

Yeah...makes one wonder about whether God really doesn't want us to sin. I mean, why the heck did he place the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in the garden? Why did he even create the universe, if through his omniscience he knew sin was going to enter the world? Why, why, why?

When did I use profanity? We're not even allowed to use acronyms here? Omg lmao nmghu brb afk gtg ttyl!

Why? And why wouldn't he therefore make it impossible?

I love you so much, Eon. Thank you for taking over before my frustration did.

Dude, those were textbook ad hominems. "You'd have to be a fool to believe..." That's fine, but prove the Bible as a valid source first. No, for two reasons. One, you're presupposing, without proving, that the Bible is true. Second, that wouldn't be circular of me, that would be loony. Dude...

Ok, in response to your website. Damn right we do. Kind of. While showing a part of the Bible to be erroneous makes the entire thing suspect, the opposite is not true -- showing a part of the Bible to be true does not necessarily bolster the validity of the rest of it. The Bible must be proven...

Deal. I'll be responding to your website shortly. That is modern day Nazareth, well-understood to differ from the supposed ancient Nazareth. Here's a short article. http://www.infidelguy.com/modules....sid=263 No, they don't. The writers of the Bible could very well have been writing about...

Well then how the heck are you defining evolution? If mutations can occur, and if these mutations can create new species, then easily follows that many many mutations coupled with the branching out of species could easily account for the vast amount of life we have today, and all from one or a...

Quit Christianity? lol, sorry, just had to laugh at your wording, it amused me. Like Christianity is a team, or a job, or something Yes, I quit Christianity because I stopped believing and could not bare the fact that I was actually attempting to self-indoctrinate myself back into belief. I...

I totally agree. An appeal to wonder is technically no more unsound than any other logical fallacy, but as it strikes me personally, it is certainly one of the most ridiculous. Oh, and Jango. Look at those same galaxies and planets. Now, do you really think that your God created all of that...

Those are people's interpretations of those verses, not the exact verses themselves. Did you even read the article I gave you? Due to its length, I highly doubt it, but I even more highly recommend it. I know you took a snippet from it, but that's all you took -- a snippet. A very small one...

Josephus, who gave pages and chapters to the obscure, gives Jesus no more than a paragraph -- not only that, but he makes statements that are totally in contradiction to his being Jewish, thus leading many scholars to believe this to be a mere interpolation, a cameo created by Christians after...

Very well said, Grand Master!

I'm the one making baseless assertions? Name them, because I've named yours. Oh, so now you're divinely inspired? Don't go there buddy. Well, I know that the Judeo-Christian god is just a fairy tale, so I guess it looks like we're at an impasse. Then use the ESV.

Hrmm, only, archaeology has never found the ancient city of Nazareth. It's never even alluded to in any ancient writings. Prophecy is way too ambiguous. Here's a great article on prophecy: http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/farrell%5Ftill/prophecy.html Also, why do you consider archaeology...

Haha, have you? That's pretty cool. Still, an essentially literal translation is better than one that interprets the meaning ANY day. I will take KJV > NIV any day of the week, and ESV > anything.

I'd also like to point out that I am following this piece of scripture with my life: 2 Thessalonians 5:21 to "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good." I have not found Christianity to be good; it has not proven itself to me, no one has proven it to me, and I was unable to prove it to...
