Without Christianity, Atheists wouldn't even exist .....
They are there to test Christian belief, to make it strong
I have seen, non-believers convincing believers, that their faith in God is valid
Think about it ..... ?
Christianity is the one religion atheists aim at.
It is what other religions aim at.
But nice job trying to downplay it to your ordinary, day to day life.
You came here to be against Christianity
I don't labor under any delusion that all of you came here out of some interest in Christianity.
The coming of Christ is the most controversial event in human history.
Christ is the most relevant figure in history. Mohammad borrowed from his coming, and created the second largest religion in the world. All other religions became obsolete in 0 AD.
Atheists dismiss him in favor of things which are irrelevant. Dawkins is irrelevant, Hawking is irrelevant, science is irrelevant- it's all only serves as a distraction and a blindfold.
Dear Fellow Posters,
I feel Christ could have come back from the dead. I know we don't know this, but we weren't there, we don't know what the people saw 2000 years ago in Palestine. I definitely hope it did happen and Christ has our back in the after life.
Some evidence for a creator is atheists like Richard Dawkins admit we can't rule Him, Her or It out. I feel if you consider the kind of odds that would have to play out from the big bang to present time to make DNA just by natural processes is really too hard for it to happen like that. There is probably a creator and we are not made to know if there is a Heaven or a Hell, but I definitely hope there is justice in the end for all humans.
So what are your thoughts on this?

Without an uncreated godless natural universe, Christians wouldn't exist. Go figure.
I'm just here with the hope that Christians will think a little more rationally, even if all that means is that they become more rational Christians. If you call that making Christians stronger, that's fine.
I've seen the opposite. Think about that?
eudaimonia,

Facts are a stupid thing, a state of death is not a fact. Cause no human can live in it therefore no memory, no pain. Just like birth. I dont believe in any reward higher than that of life, odds are 100% because if the big bang happened once out of nothing then whatever ca used it has force beyond mental capability
If you actually pay attention to what people say who leave Christianity or the church, it is usually the fact that they can no longer believe what other Christians and or the church, is spewing and has nothing to do with non believers.
Attending Church on a Sunday, does not make a person, a Christian
We Christians, are God's Church and we can pray (chat) with God
AT ANY TIME....
I give in, to your mention of Christians 'leaving the church'
and say: that I too
have left regular-attendance at a Methodist Church; because, the Elders, of that 'church'
had political arguments (in public) about it's bible teachings
AND, left my (new) Church of England, because of, a personal trauma
where, I could no-longer believe God could exist
or else, He (The Good Shepherd)
would have protected me, from that experience
But then, He provided me with 'understanding' ~my past has been a 'lesson'
He enabled me to forgive
I cannot forget, but, I can live in 'today' and can even shine this light (for others)
God created our beginning AND, he knew our outcome, from the beginning
\0/
More preaching.
Nothing to do with the point, which is why Christians leave their faith.
If you really want to know, you should listen to what they have to say, not pretend to be able to read their minds.
Of-course it has everything to do with what you are asking
We are all, individuals AND, have been given FREE CHOICE
Plainly you have chosen 'your way'
My choice, is not to share your path << got it now ?
Oh, I see (I think)
I thought I was expressing opinion, just as you guys appear to be doing
Maybe, it is a habit you guys have adopted
eg: entering a Christian Forums ~for (perhaps) the purpose of
denigrating Christians and their beliefs
I recall 'times', when this site would Permaban such visitors
but Political Niceness prevails, and such people are not to be discriminated-against
I say, that Reverse-Discrimination, has become a possibility
~what is good for the goose, has to be good for the gander also (?)
alt. If I respect your "right", to your non-belief, I should expect you, to respect my beliefs
I will hold the door for you ~if you wish to leave ?

Ana the 1st said:I sympathize with folks your age Dave. You probably remember a time when you could say whatever you liked about christianity without your statements being challenged in any way. It's probably a disturbing trend at your age to see this is not the case anymore.
Whenever did sarcasm become a means to polite interaction
AND, what has my age to do with the content above
this is NOT an age-related forum
Maybe, it's a matter of 'immature superiority complex'
Maybe you are hopeful of provoking 'a heated exchange'
LOL
If so, you'd best give-it-up ~you won't achieve one
