1.6% of the North American population says that the Bible can’t be trusted in what it says.
Example: Atheists used to say that the Biblical account of Nebuchadnezzar’s attack on Jerusalem in 586 BC never happened. These people said that because until recently, the only known description of this attack was written in the Bible.
According to atheists, if any historical document has been included into the Bible it should automatically be considered a lie or legend or myth.
Then, what is now known as The Lachish Letters, were discovered 24 miles north of Beersheba. This find described the attack exactly as described in the Bible.
Once again, the atheists are wrong and the Bible is correct.
Will this and several dozen similar examples put an end to these people’s claim that the Bible can’t be trusted? Of course not. Even though these people say that without observation and verification nothing can be believed this 1.6% of the population still maintains their implausible position, not because of the evidence but in spite of the evidence. They must do this or their world-view will collapse.
This is what these people are like. It’s how they think.

ReplyDelete...You generalize and hold up straw men as being indicative of the beliefs and practices of hundreds of thousands of people.
Why do you do this?
Are you saying that you DO think the Bible can be trusted in what It says?
ReplyDeleteSome of it yes

...You generalize and hold up straw men as being indicative of the beliefs and practices of hundreds of thousands of people.
Why do you do this?
I'm not an atheist, but almost without fail, I am assumed to be one by Christians (online).
ReplyDeleteSome of the things said in the Bible can be trusted. Some can not.
I have never met nor conversed with an atheist who thought/believed/said "the Bible can’t be trusted in what it says". It's possible that some do feel this way, of course. In my experience, most feel the way I do: some parts of the Bible make sense, other parts don't.
To generalize 4.9 million people with an inaccurate (and patently ridiculous) characterization is hateful, Mak. Why do you do it?
How in the world is pointing out the errors in what someone believes "hateful"?
ReplyDeleteI'll say it again. If what Jesus said is true, and I believe that it is, then it would be hateful to NOT point out where you are wrong in what you believe.
You're a functional atheist. You live as though God does not exist.

ReplyDeleteGeneralizing an opinion as being indicative of 4.9 million North Americans is NOT "pointing out the errors in what someone believes".
I'll say it again. If what Jesus said is true, and I believe that it is, then it would be hateful to NOT point out where you are wrong in what you believe
And *I* will say it again: it's possible to criticize without generalizing.
You're a functional atheist. You live as though God does not exist.
I've never told you that I think or live as if God doesn't exists, and I HAVE told you that I'm not an atheist.
Why are you being hateful towards *me* now?
Forgive me for not noticing that the Raytracters was a Christian blog.
ReplyDeleteNot going to answer the question, are you?
ReplyDelete"Why are you being hateful towards *me* now?"
ReplyDeleteOh man, doesn’t it embarrass you to sound so pathetic?
Jesus said, "If you aren't for Me, you're against Me."
Jesus' brother James wrote, "If you're a friend of the world, you're an enemy of Jesus."
You need to choose WM. You sound like someone who is so gutless that he'd like to have a foot in both camps. It won't work. If you live like a functional atheist you'll be judged as an atheist. If you attack Christ you'll be judged as an enemy of Christ.
All I can do is try to warn you. All I can do is point out where you're wrong. Call it hate if you like. Maybe sounding all pitiful gets you the attention of women? I don't know.
I'll say it again, if I hated you or any atheist, I wouldn't try to warn you. I'd leave you in your ignorance.
Then why do you mischaracterize what I'm saying? I told you I wasn't an atheists and you promptly lumped me in with that group. Why do you generalize the opinions of 4.9 million people? Why do you ignore what you've been told, when if that information were true, it'd counter your argument?
ReplyDeleteYou spend a lot of time demonizing a group of people to make your point. If your purpose was only to warn or criticize non-believers, there'd be no need of it.
So, once again Mak, you're forcing me to ask the question: why do you hate/dislike atheists?
I've answered that question three times. I'm not going to keep on.
ReplyDelete"You spend a lot of time demonizing"
How is pointing out errors in thoughts and beliefs demonizing?
Let me ask you, Why do you belong to a hate group? Why do you and your other bigot friends gather together to single out Christians to harass and torment? Seems pretty hateful to me.
If we're a hate group, it's directed at very specific people, rather than at an entire demographic. Disliking several Christians != disliking all Christians.
ReplyDeleteYou, on the other hand...
Again, you seem to be missing the point. Why demonize ALL atheists? Why intentionally mischaracterize them as a group in order to make your point? If you wanted to criticize them, the mischaracterization wouldn't be necessary. If you had truth and righteousness on your side, you wouldn't need to lie about them...
He's probably not lying, I suspect he's just that out of tune with reality. He's genuinely lost it. It's over.
