The problem with Roberts' quote is that the Christians I have talked to only reject non-Christian Gods, because "their Bible tells them so," That's it. That is the extent of their "critical thinking". "I reject Zeus, because the Bible tells me that the 'God of Abraham' is the only true God," See? They don't engage in critical thinking to reject the other gods; they just rely on their chosen myths. That's why expecting the to apply the critical thinking they use to reject other gods against their own god doesn't work. Because it wasn't critical thinking, in the first place. It was belief - without objective evidence - in their book of myths. So, as you can see, Roberts demonstrated a misunderstanding of how Christians come to a rejection of other gods.Nonsensical. If I don't believe god is real then of course someone lied. I suspect Moses was the first liar and then whoever wrote the new testament told the 2nd big lie. Then Mohammad and Joseph Smith followed with their lies. Jehovas too.We don't expect you to get it but his post helps a lot who aren't already brainwashed
Interesting. This is more than non-belief in God (atheism)--instead, it is a strongly held belief that God is a lie. To fight this perceived lie, the solution is to present lies of your own making?
