Not to be picky, but would praying to God for an answer really be "deciding for yourself"?

*sigh* He won't, though. It's quite apparent that, rather than deciding what he believes, he will believe what he's told he's "supposed" to believe.

Jeremiah 10:2 KJV Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3* For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4*...

One must wonder about the true "ethics" of one who would forfeit the life of one already living in lieu of something with only the potential for life.

Enough of this. Since you cannot keep it within the rules you are not here for a while. Go cool your jets timor.

Once you can freely admit that, the atheist's job is done. There's really nothing more to be said. Thanks for admitting that you're irrational, as is your god.

It must be real easy for you guys to "win" debates when you simply delete or edit any posts you disagree with, or lock any threads that may be going to the evil atheists.

As depressing as this post was, I'm glad that you at least recognize that faith and logic are fiercely opposed. You seem to have taken up the burden of Martin Luther, the father of the Reformation, in your attack on reason. I began to go into a lengthy dissertation on reason, but I deleted it...

I can't believe you edited my post, Genesis. For all who missed it, here are the parts he deleted: I fail to see how those parts are any more offensive or sarcastic in nature than the rest of my post. I understand that you have the right to make and enforce rules on your forum, but I think I...

I think it's a great idea. While we're at it, medical schools should teach the demon theory alongside the germ theory, and that drugs, surgery and rehabilitation may be replaced with prayer. The theory also works in the fields of psychiatry and psychology. Modern economics should include the...

I come here hoping for some reasonably intelligent discussions. I usually walk away only having gained frustration.

No, the burden of proof is always on the person making the assertion. Atheism does not (necessarily) make any positive assertions -- it is the theist, who positively asserts the existence of a "god", on whose shoulders the burden of proof rests. Argumentum ad antiquitatum. Just because it has...

Yes, I am so close-minded that I actually conceded a few to Atown. *sigh* Look, some of us here are capable of civilized discussion and debate (i.e. Atown). All other (i.e. YOU), please stay out of this thread.

DV, thanks for your suggestion. I have quite an arsenal of biblical contradictions sitting in a word pad file (more tons of explosive than were recently stolen in Iraq! haha). This, however, is an easily accesible list that I offered to anybody quite a few months ago. Biblical contradictions...

I am remembered! I have left a legacy!

I disagree, but I've seen whole debates on just these verses, so I'll let this one slide. Aren't I kind? Thanks for once again ignoring the verses at hand. Samuel says God did the tempting, Chronicles says Satan. Please try again. Conceded. Oh! But lets look at it in context! 20:14 And...

See above Even in "its entire context", its still a contradiction. Elaborate. I don't feel like debating this one (though I wouldn't mind seeing some Christians go at it..any Catholics here? bwahah) But of course, we already knew that in your mind, the Bible was inerrant. Let's see the...

Quite a while ago, I asked anybody here to answer the contradictions listed here: http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/short.html I will now evaluate Atown's response. His answers can be found here: http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/contra/joseph.html That doesn't explain anything...
