Do you believe in God?

[Captain Beard]

No they also occur many times within each book.

Not necessarily. Many/Most of the so-called contradictions compare the Old Test. to the New Test. THese two cannot be compared. Apples and oranges

Wtf are you talking about the old/new testament?

You wanna hear a contradiction? A Christian who listens to Pagan Black Metal. :Spin:

I'd also like to add many of these "contradictions" are taken out of context, but carry on.

I wonder how many opponents of evolution have actually read Darwin's "On the Origin..."
which is funny, because it's available in unadulterated form from http://www.gutenberg.net for free with no legal repercussions
Or anything else he's written for that matter.
The man may have had personal failings (his critics are many) but he was a scientist, and his observations were damned scientific for 1850's england.
In case you don't understand this methodology it means to accept what has been observed and to not confirm what has not been observed, to test until conclusions can be drawn. Has intelligent design accepted any legitimate peer review? Nope. All its major players endlessly quote each other and pat themselves on the back for valiantly defeating the wily atheist.
It's not about science. It's about a vendetta. They're wrong, and they're hurt. Plain and simple.

Now you;re making no sense.

Valhalla wasn't exactly heaven.
It was a big holding tank for Odin's last war.
He needed soldiers.

I was talking to Erik.

That's the best description of Valhalla ever. And no, I don't mean that sarcastically. Or that....or that...

Why would you believe in something without second-guessing, questioning, doubting it? That's too dogmatic imo.

what i was saying is that there's no reason to debate it with someone, trying to prove yourself right and them wrong. although the safer argument may fit me as well, since i believe in next to nothing anyhow.

every culture and society develops a system in which to explain why we're here and what happens next. they're all fictitious stories and that's just fine.

In that case, I agree. It took me a 22oz. of Rogue Chocolate Stout and a few Dogfish Head raison D'etre to even respond to this thread because it's such a ridiculous topic imho, always involving circular arguments with no real solutions/answers because their isn't any.

Yeah, that's just fine. Good things these merely differing, harmless stories have led to nothing but peace and benevolence.

oh come on, without religion i'm sure humans would've found some other excuse to slaughter millions. oh wait, they did!

 

[NAD]

don't get me wrong, i'm not defending organized religion, but hardline atheists are just as bad as christians, muslims, catholics, and whoever else. i can't trust anyone who has THE answer.

 

[Captain Beard]

Ah go fuck yourself. How are athiests so dangerous?

 

[NAD]

hahahaha this is why i don't bother debating religion anymore. if you wonder, while maintaining such a hostile attitude, you've just answered your own question.

i bid farewell to this thread. christians?! slater dude.
