I am not convinced that the archaeolgical evidence isn't just the bones of seperate species. If what you mean is that extinct species are distinct from each other, then you're obviously right. If you mean that none of them share common ancestors with each other or us, then I think you are being wil...

Christianity does separate itself from the world, and sees itself as better for it. This arrogance is one of the things non-christians chafe at. I am most definitely in the world, and I truly think myself no better than a non-christian. The arrogance was a reason I rejected the church, and Christ, ...

I can see, if one is already predisposed to believe that Jesus is the son of God, how one might stretch these answers until they support that belief. But read them carefully. He did not say yes. The King James version. I can't even read that! Here's the NLT version, using everyday english: Matt. 26...

Hairs have been split, balls have collided in outer space, this discussion continues to polarize each side like one of this nature will do... First: Jesus was asked directly when on trial if he was the Son of God. He said yes. While evolution is an interesting idea, it is not something I "know" just...

WILL EVERYBODY PLEASE STOP POSTING TO THIS THREAD? PLEASE. If that's the consensus, agreed! I like this board and read it without any desire to post. Then this whole topic set off alarms, beginning with the oversimplification of racism and regions, to the additional intolerance of some in regards t...

and yes...."free will" IS a gift......did you even read my post? You strike me as someone who would rather not let people choose to accept God, but one who would make accepting God meaningless by requiring it. (i guess it's interpretive differences....) And yes....I just attacked you personally (in...

One of the things that irritates me most about Christianity, aside from its requirement that you hold a laughable, primitive belief in the supernatural (not to mention a belief in Jesus Christ, a person who never existed), is the instinct of its followers to constantly try to proselytize to the uni...

Let's look at the visit Jesus has already made. It was a pretty good one. Did he want you to be cursed? Did Jesus want pain and suffering? He was a healer, above all. He cured non-believers, too. How could such a healer as Jesus want you to suffer and be cursed? Look around. Do you think this world...

How is it that "christian" people don't recognize that choices and individuality were the first things that God commanded of man? There's no command of that sort. Free will is a gift, but it is also a heavy burden. There are a million and one things you can choose to do in a day. Are all of them wo...

I would like to see people of whatever faith (but let's focus on the triumvirate of intolerance and contradiction that are the Abrahamic faiths) acknowledge that you can 'love your fellow man' and lead a fulfilling existence without needing a god. Sure, people can have a great time on this earth an...
