I’d like to burn some very typical straw men. Hopefully, in the debate over Christianity, these unnecessary issues can be avoided.Creation - Neither Genesis nor any of the scriptures demands that…Continue

Diane replied to Kevin Harris's discussion 'Are All Atheists "Fools"?'"I am by no means a Biblical scholar so I can't get into a meaningful discussion on its presentation as biographical vs. mythological. However, my guess is that the ancient Greeks thought their myths were biographical when they were not…"
Kevin Harris replied to Kevin Harris's discussion 'Are All Atheists "Fools"?'"Jorita, I don't blame you for having a problem with religion. We all do! The subject can be emotional, troubling, and affect us on the deepest levels of our lives.
I define "religion" as our attempt to find God (or something…"
Jorita replied to Kevin Harris's discussion 'Are All Atheists "Fools"?'"Kevin in that lies my problem with religion, nun of the different faiths belief that they are miss quoting. They all belief that they are right. If the different christian dominations can not agree on the interpretation so many of the points in the…"
Kevin Harris replied to Kevin Harris's discussion 'Are All Atheists "Fools"?'"Believing something does not make it true or false. And whether something is mythological or actually happened is a matter of historical investigation. Professional historians who study the New Testament documents do not consider them mythological,…"
Kevin Harris replied to Kevin Harris's discussion 'Are All Atheists "Fools"?'"First, just because people disagree on a source does not necessarily mean the source is false. Just because people interpret a source in different ways does not mean the source is false (or that it doesn't exist). Because people misquote a…"
Kevin Harris replied to Kevin Harris's discussion 'Are All Atheists "Fools"?'"Reg, don't you agree that an argument is just a way of presenting evidence? The evidence is found in the premises of the argument and can be examined, affirmed, or disputed. For example:
1). If it's Sunday, Chick-Fila is closed.
2).…"
Reg The Fronkey Farmer replied to Kevin Harris's discussion 'Are All Atheists "Fools"?'"Hi Kevin, I will try to explain what I mean. I think we were here before though with the KCA in a previous debate. You contend that (religiosity aside) that the KCA is evidence for the existence of God. I contend that it is not. It is only an…"
Diane replied to Kevin Harris's discussion 'Are All Atheists "Fools"?'"That's all well and good if you believe, but I don't. As far as "history" goes, I am sure there some historical accuracy in the Bible, but I do not believe it's claim that Jesus is the son of a deity is part of that.…"

kris feenstra replied to Kevin Harris's discussion 'Are All Atheists "Fools"?'"I'm trying to think of a different explanation as to why your inference does not stand as provided.
I exist in a room with three other individuals. This room is entirely sealed with nothing in it apart from the afore mentioned individuals, and…"
Kevin Harris replied to Kevin Harris's discussion 'Are All Atheists "Fools"?'"Reg says "arguments are not evidence". Therefore, I'd like to know how he defines evidence and what he would accept as evidence (for God). Otherwise, we're just talking past each other. So, care to give me your answer on those…"
matt.clerke replied to Kevin Harris's discussion 'Are All Atheists "Fools"?'"Is it up to us to define evidence? Whatever has convinced you that there is a god and that that god is the same god as the one in the bible. Tell us that, and we'll either point out where your thought process was flawed or we'll see the…"

Hi Kevin,
I'm a moderator on Think Atheist and I would just like to direct you to our Debate Guidelines, there you will notice we have a rule against proselytizing. Please do not "witness" to members here. We will remove those sorts of posts. You are free to discuss your point of view, but we do not tolerate evangelism or attempts to convert our members.
Thank you!
