Re: The Epicurean paradox
@Empty Lord Remember, and this is critical, that when God created the world it was not as we experience it today, he created it without sin. It was a blissful existence in the garden of Eden. That changed when Eve chose to eat of the fruit. Death came as a result of the fall of man. I think that th...

Re: The Epicurean paradox
Maybe atheists of the world are being brainwashed somehow to believe we are stupid no matter what we say. Us Christians are one to talk about being brainwashed, because it only supposed to happen to us with our blind faith; us as humans cannot believe without evidence so we must believe in naturalis...

Re: The Epicurean paradox
This is, unfortunately, a very 2-dimensional point of-view. "If God doesn't stop evil, then he is either wicked, or not God." Obviously, God looks at the whole picture. The final world after the suffering and evil has abated will be far better than if would be if there had been none at al...

Re: The Epicurean paradox
"God loves you" If so, whence come pain, sorrow and evil? For all who preach here, I give you Epicurus "Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is wicked. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he...

Re: Interesting Reddit thread
:clap: As good as an athiest can be I would say. This guy is giving people a better view of the bible and a positive view of Christianity. He says quasi-positive and absolutly positve things about the religion like: "Do you think that Christianity as it is written in the Bible is a positive or ...

Re: Christopher Hitchens passed away
Thanks for that, you make some good points.If my reasoning came across as somewhat cavalier, it wasn't meant as such, rather it was in reference to the particular debate I was referring to -- the person in question can't come to terms with a God that would send someone to "hell". As you p...

Re: Christopher Hitchens passed away
I think one of the many mistakes atheists make is in thinking Christians take delight in telling folks they might be going to hell. I was having a very heated debate with someone on another forum surrounding this very topic. Now I know there are some Christians who do get up on their pedestal, but ...

Re: Judgement Day
We are talking in something outside of our existence. Say we were in 2d and were trying to think in existence in 3d. Although it is possible to project an illusion of 3d in a 2d plane, we would have to know the nature of 3d in order to project it. And even that takes some skill. Unless we get to exp...

Re: What is hell like?
Zacchaeus wrote: "They are cast into Hell where they live alone in unquenchable fire, utter darkness, and unmanageable pain for eternity." Some of the descriptive terms of hell seem contradictory: "utter darkness" and "unquenchable fire." How can it be totally dark and...

Re: Brian Greene and religion
The ideas like religion is not the root of evil (in fact it is the root of science) was nice. But something in his underlying dogma makes me uncomfortable... "The answer is, and it's so simple, respect for others' rights. Sure, you can think that you are right and everyone else is wrong. But wh...

Re: Free thinkers
Free thinkers....one wonders what that even means nowadays. I have noticed that those so quickly to disbeleive in God and Christ, even to the pointo fsaying there is no evidence for Christ even ever having existed, will quite openly admit they believe in "paralell universes", and intellig...

I am specifically looking for how it negativily affects society according to changes in sexual norms, though.I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, wrain, but if you search on how pornography, is kind of like a gateway, to opening up the mind to all kinds of filth. Someone told me that ma...
