Quote by: zhavric In the words of my boss' boss, "You need to recheck your math." You can't claim to believe in god and make the claim that you "accept evidence". What I see you're failing to grasp is that stating "god exists" is like stating "1+1=3". It's nonsense. The god hypothesis contradicts mountains of proven scientific claims.

Ok, lets get down to the basics of the basics. God can exist. Lets say he created the initial energy burst that brought everything into existence. What mountains of evidence disproves that?

Which is a cop out.

It's not. The Bible says so. Right in the passages I described. I'm following the Bible.

First, jesus didn't show up. He's a myth that was fabricated circa 70 ce to "re-judify" Judea.

For the purposes of this thread, can we just say Jesus existed? If you want to have this argument, fine, but do it on the other thread. I have a response posted, and you haven't responded yet. So either prove me wrong, or we will just have to work under this assumption.

They couldn't just say "don't do that". They had to say moronic nonesnes like, "That thing offends god." Today, modern apologists try to reconcile all this nonsense. All those stupid laws. All those "do this and god shall smite thee"'s. All that brainless garbage. Is it any wonder the christ mythers of the first century wanted rid of it?

This doesn't address my post in any way.

My idea was that the Bible agrees with my statement that Christians need to adapt the Bible. You say that we just do it because we are hypocrites. It isn't an argument, just an opinionated statement.

Of course you pick and choose. That's all you Christians do. You pick and choose which laws from the OT are relevant. You pick and choose how you interpret Jesus' words. You pick and choose which gospel stories to believe. You pick and choose so much that you don't even realize you're doing it.

Zhavric I don't pick and choose anymore time then I admit. And I was just defending our right to do so. Is this a problem?
