I will put all this through Bruce first. Poor Bruce. Ok, I have a thought regarding what you wrote. Or at least worthy of re-examining your current position of there being no God Christian or otherwise?

As I indicated elsewhere, perceived truth is a motivator of actions for everyone. It is not about perception, it is about facts. A claim of inerrancy requires a perfect text. As Bart Ehrman had repeatedly shown in his bestselling books, the Bible is a flawed, errant, and internally contradictory book.

If you have not read any of his books, I encourage you to do so. You raised a very interesting question here. What atheism for us really means is that we are led by faith, feeling, subjective thoughts BUT let facts as they are studied reign our faith in. We are not without faith. We allow our faith to be turned over on a dime. We are the most flexible when it comes to faith. We use it. We stand on scientific fact.

Not even Christopher Hitchens rejected that possibility. Pay attention to the people that study actual Nature and the actual Cosmos. No religious leader does. Their attention is on the gods of literature. Holy books are their pretend cosmos … not the real deal. If and when we discover the real god s , let me more than assure you, they will be nothing like our petty literature gods.

Until then, try not looking down into holy books. Try looking up into the real cosmos and paying some respect to the scientific method. Again … we are still too primitive a civilization to ask the really big questions AND expect a definitive answer. Contributing to science will get us there faster. We just gotta push on.

Science IS the right path. Its given us everything we have today. It does have a proven track record that you can actually point to. Hope that adds to the blog. I myself am better classified as an experiential materialist, for example. Whenever someone says this, I always worry he will become what he hates. I suppose the fear cuts both ways. But people of conflicting morals can peacefully coexist as long as they are committed to keeping the peace. While emotions certainly play a part, at the end of the day for me anyway , the claims Christians make concerning their God, Jesus, and the Bible cannot be rationally supported.

This is why you appealed to faith in your other comment. For me, when I came to understand that the Bible was not an inspired, inerrant, infallible text, it was then quite easy for me to dismiss the claims Christians make for Jesus — his resurrection, miracles, to name two.

Yet you said the Biblical God is too abominable for you to worship, regardless of evidence. How can anyone say this and think his decision is mainly intellectual?

It is an intellectual observation based on what the Bible says about the Christian God. Based on what the Bible says about this God, I would not worship him even if there was evidence for his existence. The good news is that this God is the mythical fabrication of Bronze Age tribal sheep herders and uneducated, illiterate first century fishermen. I am sure you know that. One thing that is certainly true is that, to a large extent, the Christian faith stifles compassion.

What I mean is — people with a Ph. As for me, I suspect both the intellectual and emotional conclusions happen at the same time. The notion of the heart and mind working separately and independently sounds foreign to my experience with human nature. The intellectual and emotional responses are both neural generated in the brain, and are interconnected.

And its metaphysical claims frequently appear to make no sense even when taken on their own terms. What I am, primarily, is a materialist; my atheism is a direct outgrowth, almost a side-effect, of that.

I just read your 16 reasons for leaving Christianity. It made me sad because I do believe that putting ones trust in Jesus is the only way to eternity.

Jesus will reveal the truth to you if you ask him. Ask him to reveal himself to you if you sincerely believe all the reasons you wrote. People choose to go to hell by not accepting salvation. I will not try to convince you but I would like you to look at the link below and consider the content. Even if you do not wish to respond to what I have just said or checked the content of the link above, pls kindly answer this for me:.

What if you die, you find you were wrong? What will you do? How nicely condescending of you, your making the claim now that none of us here sincerely asked god to reveal himself to us, and put our trust in jesus.

Or even a different christian sect was right who says your sect where not real true christians and now you are going to hell? I layed on hands, I fell out in the spirit, I spoke in tongues, I prophesied. I accepted the offer I thought I was given, then realized there was no evidence that an offer was even on the table. So if it turns out that Jesus is god, then the blame is on him for not making their undeniable evidence that the offer was real, and the claims were true.

In the New Testament, what sounds like a graphical description of Hell actually seems to be symbolism lifted from symbols in the Old Testament. So you responded to my comment but then spouted nothing that matched anything I posted. I liked what Jesus stood for, I liked what I believed god stood for, then I realized that there was no evidence for the things I believed to be true.

I then went on a search for the evidence and all I found was double talk, obfuscation, and lies. But I realize your just going to ignore this because I am sure you and the original comment I commented on were only drive by evangelist not really caring to have a dialog or to provide evidenced answers.

No all you cared about was spouting a well rehearsed nothing. If you no longer care for what God stands for, then there is no point offering any evidence. That is the point. Why should I expect this to be an honest testimony from you, if your worldview gives you no absolute reason to be honest?

We cannot have a dialogue if there is no trust between us. In the first five books of the Bible, I can find no mention of being burned alive forever.

Just compare Isaiah with Mark —44, along with Isaiah —1. I never said that I no longer care for what god stands for. My biggest issue was the lack of evidence for the claims. And notice instead of presenting any evidence like you could have, instead you called into question my truthfulness.

Pot calling the kettle black much. If you asked for the evidence for anything I claimed I could give you examples and how to test for the evidence as well, plus I could give you test that if they got certain results would falsify the claim I made. Can you do the same for your god hypothesis? If you presume that I am dishonest, then I have nothing useful to say for you. That is the message that I receive when you make comments like that.

Why would you presume I was thinking your lieing? The apologetics works would use double talk and obvuscation to make you think they made their point while leaving holes you could drive a Mack truck through lee strobals works are notoriouse for this, see the multiple take downs on line.

Then you have the pastors, all well meaning in their own ways, but each when asked the hard questions like evidential support just repeat things they heard from other pastors who heard it from other pastors I can give examples if necessary , or repeat things from Mcdowells evidence that demands a verdict or lee strobals case for Christ. Both of which have many holes in their logic, and do not provided evidence, only attempts at logical arguments.

There is a reason cold fusion was not accepted by the general scuentific community. Before the rise of Christianity, the world knew little about human rights. In the early days of Christianity, the faith spread despite the real possibility of painful death. Unlike Mohammed, the Apostles were not perpetrators of violence — but victims of violence.

We know that the Christians did not make up the Old Testament, since a group called the Jews accepts the Old Testament but not the New. Christ warned Jerusalem that a foreign nation would destroy them for rejecting the Savior, and he warned his followers when to escape the scene. Christ said that Jerusalem was ripe for judgment, and the rise of Zealot-led Israel — followed by swift retribution by pagan Rome — corroborates his testimony about that generation.

For God to have himself born as a man in order to relate to us — and for most people to think the Golden Rule was too good for them — seems to be the best possible answer to why human suffering exists. The center for the development of human rights is where the ethics of Christianity — that all men are created equal — have best permeated the culture.

That part of the world is where the greatest blessings have originated. It sounds like you have said all you need to say. You have repeated yourself numerous times. No need to keep saying the same thing over and over. We get it…you think Jesus and Christianity is the best thing e-v-e-r. Praise be to the Christians for saving civilization. And what does that cut and paste job have to do with anything?

I have hope for the immediate next 40 years future. I had my time in the sun, did my best to help humanity and can die happy knowing that one man can make a difference.

What evidence is there that God actually exists? I am not an atheist, but an agnostic Christian humanist. Now the bible has God commanding the Israelites to commit genocide on the nations that existed in Canaan because they were very wicked. But little children and babies are not extremely wicked.

So Joshua and Israel butchered not only men and women, but also little children and babies, then burnt the cities to the ground. Even a small contribution helps :. Some people mean no more by it than a person who attempts to live a good life. In that sense I suppose there would be Christians in all sects and creeds but I do not think that that is the proper sense of the word, if only because it would imply that all the people who are not Christians -- all the Buddhists, Confucians, Mohammedans, and so on -- are not trying to live a good life.

I do not mean by a Christian any person who tries to live decently according to his lights. I think that you must have a certain amount of definite belief before you have a right to call yourself a Christian. The word does not have quite such a full-blooded meaning now as it had in the times of St.

Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas. In those days, if a man said that he was a Christian it was known what he meant. Copy and paste this code into your Wikipedia page. Need help?
