    Nigerian Christian children before a Boko Haram firing squad

    . My apologies, but I have become too busy to respond to my own post. (bad form) So my only comment for now is this. >> The reality of the Christian God does not rise or fall on this particular Nigerian account . It can be argued there have been hundreds of signs and wonders and...

    Nigerian Christian children before a Boko Haram firing squad

    . I cannot see a persecuted people in the middle of danger every single day having the time or thought to make up a lie like this. Nor can I see a Christian reporter making this up. For what kind of gain? Many unworldly occurrences like this have been happening in Africa, especially...

    Nigerian Christian children before a Boko Haram firing squad

    . Do they have the recorded testimonies of all 72 victims? If not then we can’t say all 72 were lying even if the story is not true. I do not believe there were any innocent bystanders hanging around to witness a mass murder, nor were the press in deep and dangerous villages surrounded by Boko...

    Christians, anything wrong with the following?

    Perhaps your mother did not encounter the evil one as often and violently as our Lord does? ‘Tis far easier to be neighborly and accepting to those around us when they are not trying to destroy our lives and our souls. But the pain your mother may have inflicted upon you as a child was...

    Christians, anything wrong with the following?

    Here is why I find your reasoning or meme to be bogus. Who is Jesus talking to in those words? He is talking to those who been exposed to the teachings in various ways but currently have no use for Him or involvement with His teachings. Obviously, if you are in some primitive tribe in...

    Christians, anything wrong with the following?

    To turn one’s back on years of preaching and various forms of evidence for Jesus /God will have its consequences. But beyond that --- any non-believer, any Protestant, or any Catholic who thinks they know for certain who goes to heaven / who will not be allowed in, or what are the...

    Just Addressing Yet Another Absurd, Dishonest Atheistic Argument

    So goes the party line. A reminder, we are not talking about evolution, yea or nay, we are talking about a necessity for supernatural intervention in the process, yea or nay. Hard for me to believe one can hold such an opinion. I cannot understand. But it reminds me of an exchange from...

    Just Addressing Yet Another Absurd, Dishonest Atheistic Argument

    I fall for it all the time. Your first line was funny. But when you say “they are using such arguments on Theists” --- what are you referring to? Thanks.

    Just Addressing Yet Another Absurd, Dishonest Atheistic Argument

    That would take the whole point out of life then wouldn't it? No valor in that either.

    Just Addressing Yet Another Absurd, Dishonest Atheistic Argument

    Pictures of the Virgin on top of a cathedral in Egypt exist, albeit more often a less descriptive form in bright light. Numerous times cameras have filmed statues or painting exuding blood or oil. And invariably someone will respond it’s a camera trick or a hoax the nuns concocted. And...

    Just Addressing Yet Another Absurd, Dishonest Atheistic Argument

    I did read your rebuttal and came to the same conclusion you did --- basically no point or common agreement to go further. Fine, I can live with that. So I did not take the time, but chose to reitierate my words. But one correction to your comments. My contention for the reality...

    Just Addressing Yet Another Absurd, Dishonest Atheistic Argument

    Too much for me to address, I should be working. So I sum my position only. I am saying this: blackdog says if God must have come from nothing or by chance, then why could not the universe and life have done as well? And I said, the only reason you are saying the universe could come...

    Just Addressing Yet Another Absurd, Dishonest Atheistic Argument

    Seriously, you are not addressing my point. According to those evolutionists, who claim there is no evidence for intelligent design, they believe a polar bear evolved by chance from once its ancestors were nothing more than a single celled organism. How many times must I repeat myself...

    Just Addressing Yet Another Absurd, Dishonest Atheistic Argument

    I really tire of “scientific frivolity.” Ok, so polar bears did not come from rocks. Good. Then do me a favor and go to Ancestry.com and trace back their lineage. After all, evolution says we all came from some primordial soup. They also claim some way some how DNA formed. Without...

    Just Addressing Yet Another Absurd, Dishonest Atheistic Argument

    Atheists, IMO, serve two "gods." Time and mindless chance. They believe if you give a pile of rocks enough time it will turn into a polar bear. They also think the probabilities of some organism can create an eyeball or a pancreas when once there was none is no big thing. Even if the...

    Bah...Internet Forums Are All The Same

    An honest observation, but how do you explain it? I explain it in one word >>> ego. Like the Virgin Mary said “pride is the cancer of the soul.” The display of so many on the left (way more than the right) these past few months is even worse than the ramblings on these boards. There is no...

    Is there anything more disgusting than God?

    Maybe His will is for you to just keep on asking for it? My response (not dogma of course) is God remains ostensibly silent because of sin. The same reason many innocent people die in war is because of the great amount of sin of mankind. Those dead and wounded suffered more than just not...

    "Pope suggests it's better to be an atheist than a bad Christian"

    And equally nice of you to return a left handed compliment our way : )
