Quote by: Foxfyre Support for your convictions here please. You have told other members who could not support their opinions to not post here. I presume you are a fair-minded individual who applies your edicts to yourself?

Don't be foolish. I sincerely hope you know there is religious conflict in the world. This would indubitably be lessened if the means of enlightenment from God were more convincing to all.

Quote by: Foxfyre While I have not tried to defend why the Bible is completely scientifically wrong, as I believe nobody can prove that--you are certainly invited to try--I presume that you will acknowledge that billions of people over the last 2000 years or so have not been driven away from the Christian God. I suspect most were not quite as intolerant and uninformed as your rant against the sins of Christianity here. But again, support for your statement?

The earth is not 6,000 or even 10,000 years old.

Quote by: Foxfyre Oh a proven cancer to society. Goody. At last something is proved. Finally we will get some scientific evidence. I eagerly await it. And I of course also want some evidence that secular nations are less violent and more charitable than are Christian nations and there are fewer Atheists in prison than people of faith. I will tell you in advance, however, that I don't accept evidence from anti-religion/anti-Christian sites but will expect statistics it is obvious that somebody didn't make up.

IHS :: HNN :: God would be an atheist: Why can't we all be Japanese?

Drawing on a wide range of studies to cross-match faith – measured by belief in God and acceptance of evolution – with homicide and sexual behavior, Paul found that secular societies have lower rates of violence and teenage pregnancy than societies where many people profess belief in God. Top of the class, in both atheism and good behavior, come the Japanese. Over eighty percent accept evolution and fewer than ten percent are certain that God exists. Despite its size – over a hundred million people – Japan is one of the least crime-prone countries in the world. It also has the lowest rates of teenage pregnancy of any developed nation. (Teenage pregnancy has less tragic consequences than violence but it is usually unwanted, and it is frequently associated with deprivation among both mothers and children. In general, it is a Bad Thing.) Next in line are the Norwegians, British, Germans and Dutch. At least sixty percent accept evolution as a fact and fewer than one in three are convinced that there is a deity. There is little teenage pregnancy , although the Brits, with over 40 pregnancies per 1,000 girls a year, do twice as badly as the others. Homicide rates are also low -- around 1-2 victims per 100,000 people a year. At the other end of the scale comes America. Over 50 percent of Americans believe in God, and only 40 percent accept some form of evolution (many believe it had a helping hand from the Deity). The U.S. has the highest rate of teenage pregnancy and homicide rates are at least five times greater than in Europe and ten times higher than in Japan.

Countries with high levels of atheism also are the most charitable in terms of giving foreign aid to the developing world.

Atheists, being a moderate proportion of the USA population (about 8-16%) are disproportionately less numerous in the prison population (0.21%).

Quote by: Foxfyre [b]Technically, probably everybody deserves hell since we have all done things that are despicable and which have hurt people and that we cannot take back.

Weigh out what anyone can do on earth to eternal suffering in Hell.

Quote by: Foxfyre So how did I do? I tried very hard to stay on topic. I trust that you will apply the same rules you have made for others here to yourself.

You did good. :)
