No, you asked one completely retarded one and then went on a tangent.



And you know what? There are millions of other families out there who have found the same things, without Christianity. What you need to do, is learn to accept that.

   

How am I pushing it dowm your throat? I have said time and time again. People have a freewill, God has given everyone of us a freewill, we are ALL freewill agents. I know you can embrace God, or you don't have to, and thats the choice you have, remember? Freewill? If you want to be independant? Thats your choice. Sometimes I need help, It's not a sin to ask for help, am I going to go to .......ummm hell? Of course not, not for that. Do I ask for help from other people? No, if I do, I pay them. Do I mind? Of course not.

   

All the things I have shared, I have tryed to straighten out some or lots of misconceptions of Biblical christianity. What it is and what it isn't. I have debated, reasoned with, Atheists, Muslims, Evolutionists, Catholics. Mormons to a degree. Bible says "Paul reasoned." Lotsa people call themselves Christians, yet they go and chop peoples heads off, or do crusades. Thats not born-again believes at all. I think it's a good thing that I (Christian) came in here to clarify any misconceptions of Biblical Christianity.

   

Well unless you've got some groundbreaking, verifiable insight into the existance of God, I'm pretty sure I've heard your reasons in some form before.

No doubt you have plenty of reasons to have faith, but that's not something I'm interested in.

   

Spanish Inquisition..., Knights Templar quests...

"And these Pagans we shall KILL in the name of GOD!!!"

Needless to say... I do recall a passage.. stating a father sacrificing a son on an altar to gain forgiveness.
Now just exactly what are the misconceptions of BIBLICAL christianity you are trying to clarify?

So what exactly is being "born Again" other than a dismissed form of reincarnation perhaps.

   

I'm also "pretty sure" that your reaction is a good indication that I was correct in being "arrogant".

Why would I presume that your faith in God was somehow special or novel?

   

I also seem to recall reading a passage where it goes along the lines of: "Take this sword, and with it, smite all who oppose you and God."

   

Religion to me is not a crutch, its not a tool, I don't use it to fit in, and I don't use it to stand out. Christianity is just what I believe so call me idiot say it keeps me from thinking I don't care.

   

Let's take a step back out of your twisted interpretation of what I said:

The original point I made is that the existance of a God doesn't have to be disproven, just your argument for it. Since faith isn't an argument, faith in God is easily refuted by any logical or scientific standard. That includes yours, whether you like it or not.

I don't care why you have faith, so your reasons for having it don't really matter. If they mattered, it wouldn't be called faith.

   

I wrote that because you wrote that the existance of God can't be disproven - that is correct. It is impossible to prove he doesn't exist.

It is possible, however, to prove that your reasons are incorrect - the potential for your reasoning to be disproven exists.

I didn't write, "It is proven that you've got no reason to believe he exists" - that is a completely different statement.

I hope you're starting to understand.

   

If it's based on faith, I don't even have to try.

   

What happens if your kids grow up B_C and decide that the bible is not for them. That they do not believe what the bible says. Will you think less of them?

   

No, if my children decide that they need that in their life, then so be it. Honestly I might be a little dissapointed depending on how far they take it. But so be it.

I asked it because B_C keeps making refference to what it has done for him and his family (wife oops mate and kids)

Just wondering how he would feel if they decide that they do not want to be "Christian"
