Quote: But If I was to 'religiously' follow scripture or alot of christians that I've met, Science is hogwash. Not one scientific discovery goes against a word in the Bible. Even taken as a parable, Genesis follows the scientific course of Earth's history exactly. TF: I recommended Lee Stroble's A Case for Christ above. It's written by a legal journalist who went around interviewing 20 experts trying to disprove Christianity, and ended up converting himself. It is FULL of evidences of Christianity; in fact every chapter is called "The (something or other) Evidence". The only bad part is a distinct lack of input from an anti-Christian viewpoint (all the experts interviewed were Christian) but you can find mindless anti-Christian material anywhere Quote: And things seems to be going in a certain direction....... I can easily name a dozen or more posters who are Thiests and who won't get here before Matthew does. It's about 50/50 of the forum regulars; take my word (you can tell how often this comes up when it racks up 46 posts in 90 minutes -- |

On a lighter side: Quote: Jesus was walking around with his disciples one day, when a man came up to him and asked: "What is heaven?" Jesus then responded, "Heaven is like 3x^2 + 8x - 9." Puzzled, the man asked the disciples what he had meant. "Don't worry," they said, "it's just another one of his parabolas."

Nice new avatar btw. I'm a bit out of ammo now. And I should disconnect soon to. But it feels good to have been a little social since I haven't been out of my house for six months(roughly). Not counting unavoidable one day trips to take care of business. |

A god is a being with administrative rights in our reality. In order to define the goodness of a god you must specify which god you mean. |

Quote: A god is a being with administrative rights in our reality. No. That would make Satan a god since he has the "administrative rights" on Earth, and he's only an angel. And if you need a specific God, I would mean the Christian one, personally (not sure about SSC )... Ultio: By preaching it, of course! -- |

A religion is a religion when it has political power, otherwise it's a cult. And is it's really small it's just a theory, like mine. |

First you preach, and when you have a cult you can start aggressive preaching. The devil is actually an archangel, pretty much like Melkor in Arda. EDIT: I read somewhere that acult is a religion without political power. I don't know if it's true. |

Of course, I think you could accuse that link of being a bit biased since it comes from the "CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS & RESEARCH MINISTRY" My nearest dictionary says a cult is "A system or community of religious worship and ritual". -- |

I don't really understand why any religious person would participate in a flame war - you know we atheists are going to burn in hell anyway so why bother -- |

No one can deny that religious right (conservative christians with fundamentalist leaning)hold a great deal of political power thru influence here in the US, especially in the midwest and Texas. Me, I don't believe in an afterlife but I do believe there is super motivating force acting in the universe. Wether its a divine being or an artifact of the structure of the universe itself, I don't know. |

It's when I started to read the bible that I came up with my computer theory.
