What did he use, then? ... Harry Potters wand ? ... Magic?
This is what you are left with.
By their fruits you shall know them.
That’s good enough for me.
Atheists want to dance with God and because they have their powerful science they figure they should lead the dance. Sometimes both are discoing and thatcoing, sometimes both are ignominiously kicked off the dance floor, sometimes a big woman in a big red jump suit shows up and starts singing the national anthem and they decide to go to the ball game, sometimes they go to the circus and volunteer each other for the knife throwing act or the sawing-in-half act, sometime they just get bored with each other and quietly read detective novels... but, bottom line, they can never let each other alone for long. Ah, love!
I wasn’t referring to people like Sagan and Gould.
Sorry, but I’m not sure if your kidding or not.
Tactics. Tactics. Satan keeps workin’ every angle. God keeps on keeping on. :-).
Dear Atheists of the World....
I’m right, you’re wrong. Go to hell, do not pass Go.
People of faith, Hitchens continues, are in their different ways planning your and my destruction, and the destruction of all . . . hard-won human attainments. . . . Religion poisons everything.
Someone should send this guy that two part episode of South Park where Cartman goes to the future.
so I’m curious if “god” doesn’t exist, why not laugh at those who believe since fighting to prove a null is not possible?
as for me i read the “God delusion” by Richard Dawkins, i found it to be less than convincing, using fallacies to prove his point.
Wow, that is just ridiculous. There is no contradiction between Christianity and whatever method God chose to bring about creation.
That just about sums it up.
It takes more faith to be an atheist then to be a Christian.
Hmmm. I'll have to bring up this topic at the next church counsel meeting, right after we discuss our other diabolical plans of painting the nursery and scheduling visits to our members in nursing homes.
Tyrannosaur soft tissue.
I see your point, really, but my point is that Dawkins, Hitchens and Harris are currently the face of atheism. Though the bitter psycho atheist types have been with us for a long time, the public face of their movement has (with the exception of O’Hair) always been a person who disagreed with people of faith intellectually but respected their rights. The fact that three guys have made millions publishing the same crap in less than a year about how Christianity should be wiped out means something has changed.
Though I did say that I wanted to avoid this becoming a crevo thread, I feel I should answer this one here.
Atheists and evolutionists: At some point billions of years ago, an infinitely dense and hot singularity exploded and the entire Universe resulted.
Me: Oh? Well, where did the material for that singularity come from in the first place? Did Harry Potter create it with his wand? And what caused the explosion? Magical Teletubbies lighting their flatulence?
This is what you are left with.
1. Conversion by love and conversion by the sword are very different things.
2. You are ignoring or unaware of the evangelical aspect of many Eastern religions, especially their more recent offshoots. I can't tell you how many times a Buddhist friend of mine has tried to convince me that Buddhist practice is consistent with my faith. Sure, he's doing that because he thinks I'll be happier, but how is that any different from me wanting someone to become a Christian because i think they'll be happier and Jesus told me to?
I don't watch South Park...what does he find?
