Why do people complain then do this

People used to think the the sun went around the Earth, and got upset when you told them that we are not the center of the universe. But we got over it.

eh, good point...

Why do people say there is no god because of no solid proof but believe the evolution theory like they were there when the "big bang happened" and saw it for themselves. Well jesus was in the history books(not just the bible) and no they couldn't find his bones because he took it with him. As for him being the son of God is another story and another thread.

There is more proof of evolution than there is of God, that is why I believe in the theory of evolution.

Were you around when God 'created' the world? No. If you weren't around when He made the world, how can you believe in Him?

so you were at the bing bang eh. Also more proof? because random scientist said so like the earth was flat right...you didn't read the bible or anything for religion knowledge.

What proof of God do you have other than an ancient story written aons ago?

Didn't make claims just prooving you wrong and my first post right.

Prove to me that God is real. You can't.

Just like you can't prove the big bang exists

If I can't prove the Big Bang really happened, and you can't prove that God exists, who created the world?

maybe some people cant prove GOD exists, but who are you to say that he dosent, we all need to belive in something greater than us.
I personally cant prove he exists, but I believe in HIM because of certain events in my life, and for some of you people in here to say he doesnt exist is like saying nothing in my life that has transpired by faith or kindness never happened, and that is an insult to me and every other person who believes.

three hundred ways of proving God's exsistance, enlighten yourself:

You are welcome to believe in God, that's fine, I have no problem with it. I do, however, have a problem with those people who insist that God DOES exist, that He IS real, yet they have no proof. It's one thing to believe, it's another to say that someone exists when there is no proof.

😆 ah the effect of good reason...

Well jesus was in the history books(not just the bible)

People always say this, and by God, this time I'm taking a stand.

Prove it.

Prove that Jesus is given more than, possibly a passing mention in Tacticus.

"Oh, there was a census." Prove it. Tell me where the results of the census were found, who found them, what peer reviewed source they were published in, and who (if anyone) published them into English. If that's not what you mean, give equivilant information for your evidence.

"Jesus was in the history books." Is that a confession that to find any mention of Jesus, you have to go so far into the future that he's considered "history?" What history books?

And if people thought the Earth was flat, it was a long, long time ago. Well before Jesus, as a matter of fact. For heaven's sake, the Greeks calculated its diameter. So if you'd stop spreading that lie, you'd do the truth a favor.

Oh, and ...

Aaah, but if you want to check Bible is true, you go to religious people.

Not if you have any sense you don't. "Religious people?" Do you mean Hindus, Muslims, and Buddhists? Or maybe you mean Christians? What a wonderful idea! Maybe when we're done, we can ask L. Ron. Hubbard whether Scientology is true! And then we can ask Marshall Applewhite if we shouldn't join the Heaven's Gate Cult! And then we can drink the KoolAid, which will actually be a mercy, because by the time we've finished asking the Muslims, Jews, Sikhs, Jains, Hidus, Juche, Zoroastrians, and Pagans about their holy scriptures, we'll be believing so much nonsense that the only real alternative to suicide will be a nervous breakdown.

(This is coming off a lot bitchier than I intended, but really, I don't know what else to say to something like this).

Iesus is just Greek-ization of Yeshua, a very common name. Yosef was also a very common name. The permutation Yeshua ben Yosef, would not be difficult to find on a census. Which proves very little of the "existence of Jesus in history."

I need to get to bed, but I wanted to say in closing that

1) I swear I'd forgotten who I was replying to when I accused myself of being "bitchy" and
2) I realize that many Christians aren't literalists, and therefore if you asked them about the truth of the Bible you might not end up, for example, with YE Creationism. But I still think it's a pretty odd suggestion, especially in light of the fact that many (most, actually) of the Christians I know have never read the thing cover to cover;
3) if you want to know the "truth" about the Bible, the best people to ask would be Bible scholar/critics, some of whom are Christians and some of whom are not.

So you mean that you have no idea what the purpose of the thread was.

(F*** sleep; I don't have early classes tommorow)

You made a factual statement; I asked you to support it. In return, you insult me; is this a confession that you do not, in fact, have any evidence, or are you just playing coy with it?

As for understanding the "purpose of this thread," I understood it perfectly. I simply declined to comment on it. Do you honestly believe that threads are static things that go on for pages without changing? If I had popped in here with, for example, a question about tractor-repair, you might have had a valid point. As it is, everything I've said has been a direct response to something someone else said. That's how conversations progress, on- and off-line.

I have read the bible from cover to cover, and look at me today, I am a Buddhist. 😉

I encourage every Christian to read the bible from cover to cover.
