The Atheist could be wrong for many good reasons

Its Christians not xians
Don't be sad, it's not as bad as you think.

"Xian
This is an abbreviation for the word Christian. It comes from the Greek name for Christ, Xristos, and is essentially the same notation as we commonly see with Xmas."

Any longer? You mean at one time He did explain it? So you admit that He is real?
Nope. There was a time in human history, where myths and god/s served a purpose as an explanation for what we didn't know. At this point in time, god/s as an explanation are vapid and explain nothing. It's a great time to be alive.

I just don't like when people doubt God. He is not that hard to find. His creation alone speaks volumes:)

:amen:
People make a lot of noise when they are lost
They convict themselves, God knows their outcome
Let's pray for them ... Heaven knows they NEED that!
PS... I couldn't see what prompted your post
I placed the really rude ones on IGNORE LIST

I think I get it now...

I couldn't figure out why this thread seemed to attract so many embittered christians that we don't normally find down here in the philosophy section. It's the thread title...

At a glance it looks like it's going to offer them a bunch of effective ammunition for arguing with atheists. They come to the thread expecting that, then get disappointed with the content realizing it isn't going to deliver the goods lol.

That's why the thread is getting bogged down with these empty preachy posts that don't add anything to the discussion. They're just trying to get their shots in before they return to the "safe" sections of the site.

Some make a lot of noise when their personal faith beliefs are not agreed to.

Christianity is the one religion atheists aim at. It is what other religions aim at. It is the history of the society you live in. Christ changed the world.

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.
Atheists target Islam just as much now.

You all are too obsessed with protecting the reputation of Islam- a forever conflicted religion- over the Christians who built the land you live in!

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 ?
You do understand that you are speaking to long-time members, not recently joined trolls?

I have no interest in protecting the reputation of Islam.

I dislike Islam more than I dislike Christianity.
