Not to most Biblical scholars.

Are you implying that I need help?

While it may seem like a lovely opinion to have, it's not backed up by any scientific evidence. It's just that: an opinion. Name some, so I can blow them down. You can't just say it has a bunch of holes in it and run away. When a theory is contradicted by the evidence, the theory...

And do you know why this is? Because the US has for too long lived beyond its means. It decided to try free-market capitalism, which ruined the country, and will ultimately be its downfall. Free-market capitalism doesn't work in the real world, pure and simple. If the US stopped trying to be...

DR. Martin Luther, is there any kind of proof or confirmation that you are in fact the author of the book that you could provide us? I think a picture of your driver's license with everything blacked out (in photoshop) except your name, beside a piece of paper with 'christianforums.com' and the...

Yeah, yeah, I know, the old God of the Gaps. The problem is, that when someone makes the statement 'God Exists', they need to answer two fundamental questions: 1) Define 'God' 2) Define 'Existence' If a logically consistent definition of both can be provided, and one finds it's possible for...

Can I quote you from later on in this post? "Try asking questions rather than simply assuming (wrongly) what I'm fine with." Practice what you preach friend. Nice slippery slope argument though. Too bad we have judged most of those things you listed to be morally wrong (except the woman's...

Go visit the Bible Belt sometime... you opinion on the latter statement might change a bit ;)

Always nice to have fans :) And yeah, offenses are quite easy for us atheists to run into around here. I'm on my second account while my main one runs out it's ban.

Or so you claim. I don't believe your God exists, and thus your morals (from my POV) are also from man. The only issue is your morals make the claim to be absolute morals. My morals are fluid and changeable. If new evidence comes in telling me that something I once thought was moral, isn't, my...

But did you get the point I was making with that comparison? Could you possible give a quick summary of why you don't accept the fact of evolution or the theory of evolution which explains it? By evolution I'm referring to the stock definition of 'change in allele frequency over time'. You...

It's from a book called Bible Believer's Archaeology...

Is it really trolled? Because that's not exactly appropriate on a thread in which the OP seems to legitimately have a problem.

Oh, she was responding to me for that one. I didn't call a fetus a parasite, I just compared the two, to make a point. Amen, brother!

And Canada! Don't forget us! Yeah, I know we're right next door to, but seriously, don't mind them. :)

I'm not talking about 'socialism', I'm talking about social democracy... the slightly more moderate system that all of the highest ranked countries in the world adhere to. Somehow they don't have any of these problems you're describing.

And yet you're fine with the fact those who oppose other races, interracial couples, etc etc, are forced to serve those who they oppose... It's the rights and freedoms that every man possesses. What gives you the right to allow others to take them away? Bingo. It's their call. They don't...

Care to provide any evidence for that? Perhaps you should read Dr. Bart Ehrman's book Misquoting Jesus for evidence to the contrary of your statement.

Was this story taken down in a court of law, under oath, and preserved until now? Or was it passed on by word of mouth, becoming oral tradition, and then finally written down at some point? There's a big difference.

The american dream died. It hasn't been around for decades. Why? Because everybody overworks. You literally cannot get ahead in the world. Sure, there's that 1-in-a-million person who manages it, but for the very most part, you're going to die in whatever class you were born into. The rich die...
