Quote (Stu @ Feb. 16 2008,20:11)Quote No thanks, got better things to do.Besides, do you ever think a squawking bird and an ape who can't see will ever agree?  I don't know.  What if the squawking bird was also an ape?You can get into all sorts of trouble when you start mixing up the species.

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 16 2008,20:20)The law of blasphemy is unenforceable and contrary to principles of free speech.  How many believers in this forum, if polled, would say that they don’t mind if the government repeals the blasphemy law?Time to go to bed.

Quote (Not3in1 @ Feb. 16 2008,19:57)I don't mean to sound so curt.  And I do appreciate your suggestion very much!    It's just……I've already tried to talk to pastor's and those who should be “in the know”………and they don't know.  It's disheartening, to say the very least.No offence taken.I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for you…[Read more]

Quote (Not3in1 @ Feb. 16 2008,19:38)The OT and the NT just do not mesh so much of the time.  It's hard to make heads or tails of it sometimes.  I feel like I'm going down rabbit trails so much of the time.Have you spoken to your pastor or an elder in your church? Sometimes talking to someone else well versed in the Bible can throw a whole new l…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 16 2008,19:23)Hi Heavens.  I think it could well be worth your while reading a bit about the crackpot cult of the christian scientists before you suggest this to anyone.  They are not scientists, and I doubt you would call them christian. I don't mean the church, Christian Scientists – I mean Scientists who are Christian.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 16 2008,19:02)Your continual attempt at claiming wounded dignity when scripture is given to you is so boring. You drag your wounded self across the stage then spring back to attack faith in our God. The audience would like something more positive from you if you can think of it.Actually, no. This member of the audience is…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 16 2008,18:58)I don't know that god does not exist.  I admit that freely and in the full knowledge that I cannot prove or even show it with much conviction.  However, you know there is a god.  And that's the problem, isn't it?Others have what you want.Not that you'd admit that.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Feb. 16 2008,18:57)How can you ever claim to be a scientist?Are you a scientist, Stu?If this is so, why don't you put all your questions to a colleague….a Christian scientist, of course.I'm sure you would find it more interesting, discussing faith with someone on the same level as yourself. Besides, you would discover how a…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Feb. 16 2008,17:40)You don't have to go to Church, if you are born of the Spirit because you are the church or part of the church, the body of Christ.If you come to a place that has no believers, then make some. Meeting together can be anywhere. In a house, a park.Great advice t8!CPe, a friend of mine is an actor and because he often…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 16 2008,17:37)Anyway the question is not about your faith, it is about mine.  I thought atheists didn't had faith?

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 16 2008,17:37)I am not angry with christians; I have sympathy for the deluded and ignorant among them (are there any that aren't to some degree?). My proof that no matter what I, or probably any other Christian says, it will not be taken seriously because we're all deluded and you're not.Keep taking your meds.

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 16 2008,15:31)  I am very interested in what happens in that case.  I think there could be several reasons why an atheist would convert. For those interested, read Stu's reasons in his original postOf course, I should have known, an atheist couldn't just choose to become a Christian because he discovers the truth for h…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 16 2008,15:31)Can you think of an example that absolutely requires faith?As a Christian there are many things I choose to do on trust and faith in God.I also choose to not to give you examples, even though I know this will bring a tirade of scorn upon me. You see, it doesn't matter what I tell you it will be viewed through a…[Read more]

Quote (CPe @ Feb. 16 2008,10:30)Now that I am convinced that the bible do not teach the concept of the trinity, where do I go from here? Which church should I attend?Personally, I'd be a church of one for a while, study my Bible and drawer close to God before deciding.I attended the services of several different faiths before I settled on the…[Read more]

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 15 2008,20:39)JWs are god-heads with no compassion for their fellow humans. I base this prejudice entirely on the numbers of them that die for want a simple, safe blood transfusion.What pig-headed brutality.If only JWs would let me be.  They all too often darken my door with their dark-age literature.  Deary, me.

Quote (Stu @ Feb. 14 2008,17:15)….and you have not accounted for former fundamentalist christians of long-standing who become atheist.  Do they forget the presence of god?Can you explain life-time atheists who choose to become Christian? Do they ultimately discover there is a God?

I see.No, what I cannot 'see' I cannot know about.  That is true for you too.I cannot see air, but I know about it. I cannot see gas, but I know about it. I cannot see smells, but I know about them. Sometimes you simply have to…[Read more]
