Quote# 384

There are many atheists who claim to be such because there is "absolutely no proof whatsoever" that supports the existence of God. Yet, many of these same people will tell you that they firmly believe that there is intellegent life elsewhere in the universe, even though there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that would support such a claim.

[After being called on out-of-context quotes and asked to present actual evidence against evolution or refute the evidence for evolution]

I will use quotes from expert authority any time I wish. My quotes are far more accurate and revealing than anything you have posted. You're the one who desperately needs to raise your level on several counts, not just debate.

I read a book recently called the Isbane Conspiracy, it was a great book and i made me open my eyes. Book and movies and even tv shows marketed toward young people are basically of the devil. Harry Potter give a child the idea that witchcraft is fun and not harmful. When in real life it is very real and not of God. Why would a believer think it is ok for anyone to read or watch something that outright goes against the teaching of His Word!!!
Read it though The Ishbane Conpiracy, it will change the way you look at things!!

[on Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings]

My kids don't read ANY of those authors. They read the Bible. They read childrens Bible stories. They read books by Christian authors. Fantasy books like that, DO NOT, enrich the mind. FACTS enrich the mind. My children LOVE History, Science, and Literature. They have NEVER read ANY of those books. We do not have cable. They do not watch fantasy movies.

The LEADING cause of ignorance and stupidity in society today is the lack of intelligent literature being read. Schools today teach evolution, then read about witches, wardrobes, lions, tigers and bears oh my.

[On killing people who worship idols]

Please rule it out with scripture. The NT instructs us not to murder. Murder is unlawful killing. But if we were to kill idolaters wouldn't that be justified in Gods eyes?

Quote# 389

Christians have simply perceived God. We have witnessed His moving in the lives of others, and have intuited His presence and guidance in our own lives.

This is the most important aspect of our faith; this is what makes our faith personal and experienced. There are other, less important contributions to Christian faith, such as historical, scientific, and philosophical evidence and the profound overall coherence of Christianity as a worldview, but these are negligible when compared to the Christian experience.

One of the chief reasons for getting married is to raise children in the faith and fear of God. If a couple knows that they are barren, and they have no intention to adopt, etc... to have a child, then I wouldn't officiate at their wedding. The issue is the openness to life.

The ONLY circumstance that I can see any form of contraception as being OK in is an instance where the contraceptive is not being used as a contraceptive. For instance, the Pill is often perscribed to women with Endometriosis. I would prefer that doctors embrace other means of caring for women in this situation, and if they do not seek other means, but simply perscribe the Pill out of personal convienece, I would find another doctor.

The principal, biblical reason for marriage is the begetting of Children. Of course, in our day, those couples who are unable to concieve can (and should!) adopt.

While sex is a good thing, and is a act in which a husband and wife are to be joyful in. . . sex divorced from it's principal God-given intent is sinful and wrong.

I'm almost 17 (not quite as long, but it's still a while), and I've never been on a date or kissed a girl. It's not that I couldn't get a girlfriend or anything like that, I've just chosen to concentrate on other things. Not having a girlfriend gives me the opportunity to spend more time with God and become closer to Him.

The Atheist peoples are scared of change.

That's the main thing holding Atheists back from God. A fear of change. So when Christians talk about God they get all cut and slander Christians cause they are trying to justify the sinful world they live in. Hence their belief in evolution.

The peoples who created the big bang theory know it's bullshit... but they've convinced themselves in their minds that it's truth... cause they're afraid of change and having their egos destroyed.
But we as Christians know what is truth... not only in our heads but also in our hearts. We know what's truth cause we feel the truth and the heart doesn't lie. And that is why evolution will never destroy what faith we have.

Quote# 394

God is real, and therefore of course is "real by default". There are any number of perfectly good reasons why you yourself don't believe in God, all of them coincide nicely with what the Bible says about people who refuse the knowledge of the truth.

Because God is real, and because you use false assertions, basically lies, to deny His reality, and refuse to even discuss the issue in a rational way, supposing for the sake of argument that the matter is as yet unsettled, but rather insist that God, who reveals Himself to all through conscience and through the natural world, has somehow magically never revealed Himself to you personally, I am safe in my understanding. I need not open my mind or question my beleifs fully, because the default position is that God is real and that you are a liar going to hell.

Yeah I like this side of the fence. We can be weak and not have the ability to resist our fleshly lusts. All of this we can do without a loving being breathing down our necks warning us of the danger we are in. And on top of all that fun, we get to go to hell! Woooo hooooo! I just can't wait.

So radioactive decay automatically makes the universe 4.3 billion years old (or whatever the current running number is)? However when a more relevant and fully substantiated source, such as the Bible, says otherwise... one is compelled to wonder.

Muslim = BAD. It doesn't matter if they're extremists or normal they're still MUSLIMS. Muslims are responsible for a huge amount of crime throughout the world. There is an overwhelming amount of world crime caused by Muslims doing what they consider 'normal'. That includes Christian bashing, rape of white women and murder. Islam when practiced according to its faith is not the problem. It's the false Muslims who shape it. Islam is out of control and must be taken care of. God bless America.

Quote# 398

The question is why would we try to protect life. Life makes absolutely no sense, if there is no God. We would all be cosmic accidents floating through time and space. It would not matter at all if I killed someone or not and I would not feel guilty about it. I may not kill someone as a result of rational thinking about the consequences, but I would not feel guilty about it. But most people do in fact feel guilty. If I were ever to think that there was no God, I would immediately kill myself, but not before wiping out a few cities, raping a bunch of women and wreaking other havoc. I mean, why shouldn't I. Because I would go to prison? No I wouldn't. Before being arrested I would kill a few more people and then put the gun to my head. The only reason for not doing any of that is that it would be wrong. How do I know it's wrong? I just know. Because God made me that way, NOT because society told me so because it happens to be more convenient.

some more signs of end of times

im just giving a few. ill keep on giving a few throughout forever.

1.one family in florida has already volunteered to have a chip put in their hands so they can buy food and water. They are testing it out and so far things are going well.

2. In NC some citys are saying that its a law the government periodically must come in the house and make sure things are safe.(an invasion of privacy)

3. In 2007-2010 somewhere in that timeline everyhome will be required to have a computer chip in the tv so that if an emergency needs to be broadcasted even if the tv is off it will turn on and announce it. also being put in with the chip (some secret information i got from a friend who works for the government) will be a camera so that the government can watch you.

4. In Revelation it says the vultures will eat the dead. Vultures used to lay only 2-3 eggs but recently they've been laying about 7.

5. The government has created a chip they can put in your brain to command you to do stuff. They have tested it out with rats and it works perfectly. i heard on the news that sometime in upcoming years the will start putting chips into a baby's brain.(i think i heard it on the news.)

thats all for now.

According to my belief this world is secular. Also 2000 years ago it was said that the world would persecute us Christians.
Which is what you are doing here today.
So God said this, thus it is true because you are persecuting us.

I'm the one who's willing to change my view. Creationists see the facts as they are. We don't dogmatically think every organism descend from the same ancestor. We do research about it. You just assume all organisms have a common descent. You adapt your view of the age of the earth so that evolution might be possible. I and many creationists adapt the age of the earth by researches.

And just to refresh everyones memory, I don't care if this pisses you off, Christianity is not religion.
So lets drop what the dictionary says cause 2000 years ago there was no Webster or any other type. look at it this way.

Religion: Humans attempt to reach to GOD.
JESUS: GOD reaching to humankind.

[Arguing against Christianity being called a religion because it's "God reaching out to man, not man reaching out to God", despite the dictionary definition of 'religion']

Besides if you would have read my post completely instead of looking for a petty argument you would have read that 2000 years ago there were no dictionaries. So what makes you think that a book that contains all meanings and explainations of the english language is correct? Expecially since it was written like no more than 200 years ago!

Bah! Humanism is a crock anyway! Humanists are just people wanting to feel special by distancing themselves from traditional religions and subdividing and subcatergoring what they are. Its like those try-hard musicians who make really crap music, yet seek to be cool by labelling themselves outside of a typical genre... "We are progressive heavy grindcore power gothic industrial punk!" In a word: Pathetic.

Friends, Atheists, Countrymen: Lend me your ears.
Well, Dr Pangloss, I don't blame your church members for scowling as you come by. Anyone who treats fairy tells and the Koran like the Bible deserves ATLEAST a scowl. I'm 15, so I admit, I don't really know that much. But I do know that the Bible is true, and that every word of it was inspired by God. Every. Single. Word. THe Bible also says that the ONLY way to Heaven is through Jesus Christ. That means there is only one. Jesus Himself talked about Hell. How can you believe anything the Bible says and not believe that. The Bible said that anyone who preaches anything other than what it says is a false prophet. It definitely sounds like you are preaching something different. You said that you read the Koran and the Nag Hammadi texts. Well, the Bible says that Jesus is the only son of God. But the Koran says that Jesus was just a prophet. Obviously one of them is wrong. About the other things you spoke of, I don't even know what the nag hammadi texts are, so I can't say anything about them. In closing, I would like to say that it doesn't matter what you read, or what you believe, or if you think ther'e a Hell or not. There is a Hell, There is a God, and He sent His only son to die for us. If you don't accept that, will rot in Hell. This may seem close minded to some, but it's the truth, whether you want to believe it or not.
