That you're arguing with Christians—or those with knowledge on what Christians believe—seems to have escaped your thoughts.
Nice ad hom. As I have said earlier, I am an apostate. My bible is dogeared, I was faithful for a good chunk of my life.
Explain then, more thoroughly, how we have proven that Man and the world are not created; that no divine hand had any part in their formation in any way; that they formed purely by chance.
The complete narrative of creation in genesis is completely false. Humans are apes whom evolved ( as did all life ), the world was created from a gas cloud with the sun, the universe itself is billions of years old and was likely a product of exotic math. Even an acreating universe is more plausible then a being on infinite knowledge, power, and complexity acreating. The gods theory solves nothing.
Is there evidence that there is an afterlife? No, I think the opposite is true, as I have been trying to discuss.
scrdest carried this argument very well. Your response to him shows that you are assuming right of that bat that somehow we are magic that pilots the body - a claim without reason or evidence.
The human body was left imperfect after the Fall, thus its inner workings will vary, they will change, and they will break. But still the soul lives on, and is believed by the faithful to be immortal—barring a minority group which is inclined to disagree.
Theological nonsense.
I don't know; you seem to be the quantum foam expert here. Explain how this quantum foam is able to use made-up verbs to form the universe by its own will. I don't know anything about quantum foam, but I'm not inclined to believe whatever fancy-sounding words are thrown about just because they sound scientific.
Good, you don't have to:
http://io9.com/there-is-no-such-thing-as-emptiness-there-is-only-quan-453814024Christianity states that God created us perfect in His image, but that He gave us free will. Our forebears were given a choice, and made the choice to defy their nature and allow Sin to enter Mankind. Christianity is also the belief that God continued to stand by His creation, entering into a covenant with Abram to father the Jewish people, and then sending a part of Himself to the world to undergo sacrifice to wash away the sins of the believers. Christianity is also the belief that the faithful will, when the time comes, be caught up into the clouds to be in Heaven, and that they will live eternally in the New Jerusalem.
So what you are saying is that he created us sick, and then entered an agreement with a specific bronze age tribe, then sacrificed himself to himself to save the people that he made sick? Seems pretty masochistic for an all powerful entity to do, considering he could have just cast a spell and made everyone not sick in the first place.
I am honestly not sure what you are trying to say.
Christianity was basically a suicide cult that caught on in the despotism of the Roman Empire with a focus on giving up on life and waiting until you are dead to experience it.
Christ teaches generosity, humility, and peace to Man. With what do you disagree?
He also teaches hellfire, child murder, slavery, and believes that he must purposefully confuse people as to trap them in hell:
Matthew 11:20, Matthew 13:10-15, Mark 4:11-12, Mark 7:9, Luke 12:47
How can you claim to have no strong feelings against Christians when you admit to feeling repulsion at the very thought of being part of the religion? In any case, you certainly have no strong feelings against going to the Christian discussion thread to argue that certain doctrines are inherently wrong because of mostly unrelated and unexplained reasons.
Because most Christians haven't a slight clue about their religion, have no clue about the bible, and usually just go to church for the community and a vague sense of love and afterlife.
