And which nobody with half a brain - or at least with the willingness to apply half a brain - actually believes did happen.

FACT: The chance of your post convincing the opposing side in an argument is directly proportional to the amount of times you quote his writing for a rebuttal. There are not NEARLY enough QUOTE tags...

Your grand revelation is standard teaching in German public schools ("Religion" is part of the basic curriculum, note that the class is not called "Bible Study"). Basically, you take fundamentalism...

And this is somehow news?

JellySlayer is a stupid n00b faggot!

From German perspective, we greatly enjoy some of the details regarding certain German politicians - those were a) not secrets (everyone in Germany knew) and b) completely correct and exactly the...

Screw ADOM, this now a theology forum. Nothing more exciting!

And here we thought we were joking when we predicted this thread would outdo "TH sucks". It's already well on its way.

Christianity also tells you that you should care about others, if it's only dumb people on the internet. I'm similarly hurt when I see people being close-minded and unwilling or incapable of...

Okay, I promise this is the last one, until I find another one that is eerily close to the topic that is.

One more link won't kill us

To not have a thread die you could contribute something you know :)

Since the previous links I've posted have been such runaway successes, another one won't hurt:

Linking extravaganza

And if...

It's hard to do things "in the name of Atheism", but it doesn't change the fact that it's perfectly possible to be atheist and perpetrate a cruel dictatorship (just like it's possible to claim...

Focusing on negative examples makes you stupid. The emphasis, as I understand, is on the "focus". I must have missed the suicide bombing assaults in the name of Christ in recent history.

You...

You can't find out who is "right" and who is "wrong" - so this aspect is about the most irrelevant ever when it comes to the very relevant...

That is agnostic atheism. Atheism doesn't have to be agnostic. I suspect garyd might have had to deal with scores of very non-agnostic atheists, i. e. those who believe that there is proof against...

If you can confirm a power by experiment, it's not a supernatural power anymore ;)

@JellySlayer: In that case we have a fundamentally different understanding of Christianity, I'm afraid :)

Arguably, God doesn't "have" to do anything. Maybe the "free will experiment" is more important to him? Less boring? Maybe he thinks, whatever the cost, the experience of a life with individual...

The trouble with grobblewobble's "exhaustive" case analysis is that it completely hinges on heaven or hell, or God's intentions, being a certain way - basically it limits itself to possibilities A...

Why indeed! Welcome to agnostic atheism.

No. Part of what he did when he "designed us" (read: set the events into motion that would eventually lead to our existence) was he gave us free will. That means we are responsible for our own...

Because he'd prefer to have good and evil be transient?

What is this problem you speak of?

That people can commit sins? Sure God probably doesn't like that, but why would preventing sins from being committed be God's first priority? He wants people to...

Why?



You've got me.



I'm completely lost here. Why? Where do you get this kind of information about what heaven is like? You have absolutely no knowledge what heaven is like (no one...

Your line of reasoning assumes a certain kind of heaven - I think I said that already? Dunno.

The assumption I'm working under is that heaven is the kind of place in which you'd have to be...
