Re: Christianity: the greatest love story ever told

However, things have probably changed for kids raised in atheist homes nowadays, with the internet and modern sensibilities. When you came up, we weren't nearly as far into a post-Christian culture / influence - as back in the day, even non-believers were much more in line with traditional, Christi...

Re: Christianity: the greatest love story ever told

You were never a “former Christian” kenny. Never, ever. You were just practicing the mumbo jumbo you learned as a kid. I suspect your single mother probably was just practicing mumbo jumbo herself. Wow! Are you actually bringing my mother into this? You gonna slander my mother by calling her a sing...

Re: Chaplain is an Atheiest

I always saw the role of chaplain as that of a councillor/social worker/good listener. No need to be a Christian for such a position.

Re: Christianity: the greatest love story ever t

... I’m sure FlieG heard all of the supposedly grand arguments for atheism growing up in such a family – but he was, at some point, open enough that God mercifully helped him to see the truth of Christ, despite his family influences and years of previous unbelief. Actually, no, a “purebred” atheist...

Re: Christianity: the greatest love story ever told

Good gawd what a revealing post you typed Kenny! You probably don’t even realize that right at the beginning you equated atheism with religion with your “ kettle meet pot ” comment. Any thinking atheist would have a laugh over that one. No; I equated your claim of used to be atheist with my claim o...

Good gawd what a revealing post you typed Kenny! You probably don’t even realize that right at the beginning you equated atheism with religion with your “ kettle meet pot ” comment.

Re: Atheism on the rise

I find that difficult to believe. Take this forum for example; can you find a single incident where an atheist asked such an absurd question? If not here, can you point me to any forum where an actual atheist asked such an absurd question? This forum doesn’t get too many atheists. You finding it “d...

Re: Christianity: the greatest love story ever told

Then by all means; provide the biblical definition of Christianity; scripture included. Philip did a pretty good job of that. He’s nicer than I am; I would have said, “as a ‘former Christian’ yourself, you should be able to find the verses in question and would have left you to your own devices. Of...

Re: Christianity: the greatest love story ever told

... A Christian is just someone who profess a belief in Jesus the Christ. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Christian Just because you say it does not make it so; if you can find an outside source that supports your claim, your words would be more believable. Otherwise you are just describ...

Re: Christianity: the greatest love story ever told

FlieG: Good Gawd...anyone who says “I’m not a Christian but I used to be” doesn’t even understand what being a Christian is. I think a more accurate statement from Ken would be, "I once THOUGHT I was a Christian, as I once believed in God." Yes, that’s more accurate but no atheist would e...

Re: Atheism on the rise

I think it would be foolish to blame the fringe nut jobs like the ones in the photo as the reason for the rise in Atheism, I think it is much deeper than that; I think the internet and information age has more to do with it than anything else. No...while there are some intelligent and knowledgeable...

Re: Atheism on the rise

Are there Christians who have bought into false political solutions and saviors - unquestionably. But that doesn't mean that many of them also AREN'T truly saved - it just means they are confused and are nonetheless ALSO looking for a political savior to solve our temporal problems - in a way, simi...
