he says that dinosaurs were around 4004 years ago, because the bible said so. Why is that something christens always go to?
Person A "who made the world?"
Person B "god"
Person A "how do you know this?"
Person B "the bible said so."
And this "debate" is going nowhere! We are basing our comebacks on what we believe! So instead of combacks that have to do with the person's views it the speaker's views.
Person A- Likes to throw apples a lizards
Person B- Thinks apples explode when they hit something
Person A " I'm going to hit a lizard with an apple"
Person B "but that will kill it."
Person B beleives something that makes it hard to see the other person's point. Tsunokiette is going on what the bible says and it is clouding what you are saying, and you are going on what you were taught and that clouds what he is saying. So in the end we are blind people trying to lead each other trough a fog.
The most awesome and smartest post I have seen by you so far. I totally agree. Faith is kind of a lead. Some have it, some try to find another lead.
One applaud to you.
And after the 2 hours are over I might give you one more.
Well the old testament itself is chock full of factual recordings.
You have to remember, this wasn't something someone wrote down, it's something many people over 1000's of years recorded.
If more than half of the Bible is factual, why wouldn't the rest be?
Tsuno, the Bible isn't 100% factual. Explain Adam and Eve, explain Noah, explain how God created the entire universe in 7 days. These are only a few examples. Listen to yourself, that's ridiculious.
*sigh* Ask for proof and I shall try to do better than last time lols.
Then prove that God created the universe in 7 days.
No book is 100% factual. This is such a poor argument, I mean really, just because part of a text is true does not necessitate the rest is, even if that part is 50%, or 60%, or 99.99999999% true!
I agree, neither is the Bible. People have to stop to believe that. It makes our religion look like idiots if somebody says "ZOMG, IT'S WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE, SO IT'S TRUE!!!1!1111!!1".
Plus the
You have to remember, this wasn't something someone wrote down, it's something many people over 1000's of years recorded.
is proof that the Bible got turned into many falsities. How many times do you think it was re-written and re-translated? And you know it was always changed because of the so many different views one can have on the events in the Bible. Most likely, it's all nothing more than a fairytale.
True. Did you know that "Jesus walked on the water." is actually also a false translation? In the original it says "Jesus walked next to the water." =/ Interesting how easy it is to make Jesus "create" a miracle. =/
@Tsuno: You ALWAYS have to consider that HUMANS wrote the Bible, humans who are imperfect.
Faith is the blind device of fools. To have faith in something is to deny the inherant nature of it.
Saying that you have faith that god created somethig does not make it so. The idea of faith in a religion is that, because the god figure cannot be proved, you must have faith and accept it for it to save you after death. Therefore, through religion, relity has always been skewed. SOMETHING THAT IS IN THE BIBLE IS NOT REAL!!! You are expected to believe it through faith. If a second grader has been taught his entire life that god is real, he will undoubtedly believe in him. If he has never heard of god, he will not believe in him. he will not have "faith" that there is some walking miracle-maker who simply poofed man into existence. Faith is what makes men blind.
As I said, in the end it's not important if there REALLY IS a God or not. It's faith that counts.
You say faith makes humans blind, right? And you are no believer, right? Talking about something you don't know is the greatest ignorance. I don't say having no faith is ignorance, but I say saying faith is wrong is ignorance. If you have had once faith and have lost it you can talk shit about faith as much as you want, but as long as have never believed, please don't.
