Any christians in the place?

[Brawny]

No crap...

Even if Christianity is false, I still like the general personality of Christian people.

 

[FRuMMaGe]

I think the ideas are holding back the scientific community.

I have nothing against Christians, I just don't believe there is a place for the beliefs in modern society.

 

[bln_f]

I'm Christian.

 

[Brawny]

And you think we like things such as abortion in the modern world?

No, I don't believe in abortion either.

I just think Christian beliefs are outdated.

 

[Frogger]

We're under Christian rule, our basic laws are set on Christianity. How is that outdated?

 

[Brawny]

Outdated? Do you actually have specific examples or must we generalize everything?

God created stars and the moon to light the skies.

The moon does not emit light, and stars are many times larger than the "light-sources" they are made out to be.

Obviously this was a mediocre example.

There are so many inconsistencies in there it could have only been believed that long ago.

actually i am pretty sure that the entire or most of the book of Genesis is made up, stories early chrisitans used to describe things. if adam and eve were real wouldnt we all be inbred? i think what they were aiming for is true though, at some point in time, God sparked life. that's what I believe.


EDIT: Also at the time of writing the Bible there was probably no possible way to know the things which you disproved, theyre just trying to say God created everything.

 

[Brawny]

Clearly, you have had no experience with Christianity first-hand at all.

You are taking it much too literally. I, myself, follow theistic evolution when it comes to creation.

Ever heard of METAPHORS?

At least dedpoet knows what he's actually against.

Genesis is a load of poppycock. It makes me laugh, now that is outdated, what do you think the New Testament is for?

You have obviously never read any of the Bible. >_>

I am well aware that the book of Genesis is widely accepted as a guide or a metaphor. I was just quoting an obviously wrong section if taken literally.

I am just pointing out that many of the theories and notions put forth have since been disproved.

If by mediocre you mean craptacular, then yes :lol:

When the hell were metaphors taken literally? Hahahaha.

 

[FRuMMaGe]

I am saying that when the Bible was first written, everything in there was taken literally and was believed as historically accurate.
