Richard Dawkins on God's behavior in the OT

[ximmix]

Christianity has nothing to do with it.

I call BS on that.

 

[Tinker Grey]

So if you don´t mind my asking, why even be on a christian forum to begin with?

I was a Christian when I started here. I saw no reason to leave. I enjoy the conversations I have here.

I could ask you, why are you in an area of the site that allows non christian people to talk?

 

[ximmix]

What do YOU think?

I think that no one should stand in the way of happiness, and religion has dug their heels in to create misery for people...

Why doesn´t anyone explore this question?

Engaging in speculative thinking only leads to madness and suffering.

 

[Silly Uncle Wayne]

How many people are doing this? Is it in one place, many cities, worldwide?

No idea if it is still going, but the guy who started them was in the UK and was travelling to the US to set them up. This was about 4 years ago so it would be interesting to see if they are still going or were just a flash in the pan.

Ok, so at best 10 people. Not really relevant then, right?

Look up Sunday Assemblies on Wikipedia - They started in 2013. There is a BBC documentary or news article as well.

Ok, I read it. Still don't understand the relevance.

Where does it say that Christian people are NOT allowed to talk here?
I thought outreach meant trying to reach those outside...and since this is a Christian forum, I thought the Christians are supposed to be known to be here from the getgo...anyone else coming in who begins a discussion in the outreach category of this site, I thought, was looking for answers from Christians...

What else could a category entitled Outreach on a Christian Fourm be?

 

[miknik5]

Engaging in speculative thinking only leads to madness and suffering.

Or.... to THE TRUTH...

 

[miknik5]

Wait...a category entitled Outreach on a CHRISTIAN forum, and that category is further broken down into various subtitles...of which one is

CHRISTIAN apologetics?

(with no CHRISTIANs allowed?)


Are you sure?

Oh, that's rather interestng.
So what you're saying is that Christians are unhappy persons and atheists are happy persons.

WHY are christians standing in the way of your happiness? Do they block you on the sidewalk? Do they block you on the highway?

Could you say HOW Christians have created misery when it is BECAUSE OF CHRISTIANITY that YOU have a much better life today than your ancestors of 2 thousand years ago. You could study up on this...I'm not posting links. It's good to study history,,, we learn a lot.

And if all this sounds like those two words you said..please don't even bother replying.

 

[miknik5]

Who can clarify this as I am completely baffled as to why CHRISTIANs are not allowed to post here...

 

[miknik5]

By informing men that there indeed is a GOD and the GOSPEL is the TRUTH?

How does that create misery?

It should, rather, cause the opposite....

They have eyes, but do not see.
Why argue?

It's called CHRISTIAN APOLOGETICS.
You're right.

I understand of course. Just thought your original question was a little strange...

THANK YOU!

And I've forgotten also. I think it was something to do with whether atheism could be classed as a religion or not.
