The Bible is a work of truth and life-time lessons. Those truths and lessons are sometimes presented in story form.I'm glad that you admit that the Bible is a work of fiction.
Do you spend time attacking Hinduism, Buddhism Islam, Greek mythology?I'm glad that you admit that the Bible is a work of fiction. That puts Christianity on par with Scientology.
So you speak and understand Hebrew? What about Latin or Greek?I didn't miss anything.
Then why Mary statues at every turn?I have yet to meet a Catholic who does. I've met lots of non-Catholics who think we do.
Not much punctuation, but they did have grammar.On the day they ate the fruit, God said, "You will die." Not much punctuation in those days either.
That's nice. Is that what's really keeping you an atheist?God said that they'd die on the very day that they ate the fruit. There's absolutely nothing in the passage to make us think that day means anything other than a 24 hour period.
What "truth" was being presented? That people die? I don't need a just-so story to know that.The Bible is a work of truth and life-time lessons. Those truths and lessons are sometimes presented in story form.
As an example: Do you eschew, "Slow and steady wins the race" because tortoises and hares don't race each other?
Consider trading searching out contradictions for searching out truths.
Who never kneels in prayer? That's like the third time you've said something about it.That's not the question. The question is why does it bother Protestants to the point they feel the need to go into scandal-mongering and defamation of Catholics? Once again, statues are not idols, they are mere art and images just like the Cherub images on the Ark of the Covenant and in the Temple; just like the image of the snake Moses held up in the desert, which represented the people's faith in healing. Are you absolutely positive that all you are annoyed by in a similar sign of faith done by people not of your denomination? You want your sign of faith to be recognized. Very well. How great your sign of faith that of those who never kneel in prayer as it is a sign that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
Unfortunately, one of your compatriots cares very much what Protestants are doing because he continues to post that the Catholic Church is the only true church and that all others are not.Catholics don't care what Protestants are doing because we are confident in our own beliefs. Tearing down the beliefs of another is one sign of uncertainty about the validity of one's own beliefs. What others are doing, what others believe, does not matter.
No. What's keeping me an atheist is that there's no evidence or logical reason to believe in any gods. That the Bible is contradictory, historically inaccurate, scientifically absurd, and morally vile is just a cherry on top.That's nice. Is that what's really keeping you an atheist?
I have heard a Catholic say to me that she prays to Mary, hoping she'll take her plea to God and He'll listen to Mary when He won't listen to her.Unfortunately many Catholics worship Mary. 5-5 in the Catholics I know.
Then don't believe and go on your merry way. Why waste time even discussing it?No. What's keeping me an atheist is that there's no evidence or logical reason to believe in any gods. That the Bible is contradictory, historically inaccurate, scientifically absurd, and morally vile is just a cherry on top.
You know differently.No. What's keeping me an atheist is that there's no evidence or logical reason to believe in any gods. That the Bible is contradictory, historically inaccurate, scientifically absurd, and morally vile is just a cherry on top.
Why discuss anything?Then don't believe and go on your merry way. Why waste time even discussing it?
Lot's of good reasons for discussing other subjects. But I'm asking you what your good reason is for discussing this subject. What's your purpose here?Why discuss anything?
Evangelical atheism is alive and well.Lot's of good reasons for discussing other subjects. But I'm asking you what your good reason is for discussing this subject. What's your purpose here?
Did you miss the images of Jesus outnumber those of Mary by a considerable amount? In any case, whether the objection is to Jesus, Mary, Joseph, Apostles, Saints, Angels-- Catholics are honored to have a role in presenting God's story/message through both word and images. Or, in Jesus' words, Blessed are they who do not take offense in the message of salvation.Then why Mary statues at every turn?
I prefer the term militant atheism. But don't you see any similarity to what you do towards your fellow Christians?Evangelical atheism is alive and well.
Mankind was meant to have a perfect spiritual existence and and a perfect physical existence. At some point disobedience made our physical existence imperfect. "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" is a good summary. The truth being offered is an understanding of the human condition.What "truth" was being presented?
