You keep saying that, but you still have not sufficiently explained why. Logic, reason, and scientific laws are in no way dependant upon the existence of a god.

I really would enjoy reading your attempt. If you don't mind, please make a new thread especially for this. And, if you want to use another translation, use the ESV (English Standard Version), currently the most accurate essentially literal translation on the market. So, go at it -- each and...

Thanks for realizing that. I was not living a lie until I stopped believing, yet tried in vain through extra-Bible study, church-going, and almost literally perpetual prayer to regain my faith. Once I realized that I was merely trying to self-indoctrinate myself, I cast off the Christian title...

Ok, I see what you're saying. However, I was indeed "reborn", as you would say. I was a totally different person than I had been. I was immensely gracious for what I believed to be Christ's sacrificial death. I felt terrible guilt and followed the subsequent path of repentance. I mean, look...

That's an impossible question for me to answer straight. As an atheist, how can I say yes? However, as a Christian, I felt emotions, had religious experiences, that I took to be "feeling god". Now, of course, I see it differently.

Miscellaneous, you obviously have no idea what an ad hominem is. Regardless, all you do in each of your posts is quote the Bible to me. If I make a point, you say "Aaah, but the Bible says..." You can't argue with somebody like you, so I'm not going to.

I've already stated that evolution is observable, and has been observed. What don't you get? We have observed the emergence of new species. What more do you want? This is an absolute waste of time, and I'm finished. You can call this a cop-out if you want, but I don't care. With the exception...

What is it with you people and telling me what I do and do not believe? This is ####ing ridiculous, I'm sorry. CCGR, go ahead and edit that if you want, but do you see what these people are saying? It's absolutely absurd. Miscellaneous, you don't really believe in God. You see, you voncinve...

I said no appeals to wonder. You also threw in a few ad hominems -- "Only a fool..." "then you are no more than an ignorant fool..." You also say that I was obviously not a Christian...WHICH MEANS YOU OBVIOUSLY DID NOT READ THE LINK I GAVE YOU! Did you not read it? CCGR, I'm biting my cyber...

Dr. Tek, you're in the same position as Yo, apparently - closing your eyes, plugging your ears, and saying nanananana. I mean, the brightest beacon in your post is that you mention "contradiction" in evolution, and go on to cite thermodynamics as one of them. This shows a complete lack of...

Well Dr. Tek, I used to be a "die-hard" Christian. In fact, you can read a bit of my story here: http://www.tinyurl.com/xlgr To say that I am irrational for not believing in "god" is absolutely ridiculous. God has yet to even be sufficiently defined, and is a therefore meaningless term. Why...

Why? You're making such bold assertions regarding my worldview -- please enlighten me, tell me a bit more about my thoughts.

Why? How does that make any sense at all? You are obviously completely devoid of any form of rational thought -- please remind me to never waste any energy debating with you. Why do you think scientists all across the world and across many generations are engaged in some kind of God-hating...

LMAO Oh, boy. I'd attempt to educate you, but you can't lead someone out of the dark when they're wearing a bag over their head.

*sigh* Don't you guys realize that your entire religion is one freaking gray area? "Well, of course Christians keep sinning, but they're not supposed to, but they're going to anyway cuz they're human but its ok, but its only ok to a certain point, but that point is not the point to which I'm...

That's absolutely ridiculous -- they're sinning, just as you are continuing to sin each day. Surely you would not appeal to something such as Venial and Mortal sins, as the Catholics do (I'm assuming you're Protestant). Or, like I said, one could call upon those verses, in which case no...

read the rest of my post. You see, your question is not in accords with the scientific method, because we cannot simply eliminate all other males. The best we could do is raise a male in a controlled environment for his entire life, making it so that he never sees another male. Yet, this is...

Aaaah, and suddenly, Kidan, you've hit the exact issue! You see, homosexuality is not an action -- it's not something one does. Homosexuals are homosexuals. Homosexuality is a state of being. I really believe that homosexuals can at most suppress their feelings, but they can not simply...

Dude, he's just making a point. It's probably higher.

As opposed to "irrational." I'm using them in the normal, unadulterated form of everyday English...
