were all crusaders chosen by christian god?
btw- apparently Jahve can choose himself, so if I'm made at the image if him /Elohim/ I should be able to choose myself also- especially after that tasty apple you gave to Eve
edit- sorry for "Jahve"
it's how he is written in Latvian- I'm sorta used to it
I'll be better frm now on
maybe

actually no- anything that consists of usual particles- because Christ (or what is left of him) also consists of usual particles

I start babbling about being the antichrist and you see fit to bring physics into this?
How do you know Christ consisted of normal particles? Maybe He was made of God particles.

Well, this is fun. It is like D&D on acid.

I disagree... If anyone EVER presented me enough evidence suggesting God exists to contradict all the evidence I have stating otherwise, I would stongly concider it. I have no "faith" in being Godless, I just want the truth, and so far, all evidence points to there not being one. You sound as though Athiests are purposely out to destroy God. Well, maybe some are... But the majority just want the truth, and when we realized that there was no reason to believe in a God, creationalists got very defensive (ie: burned them at the stake). I am not out to destroy the idea of God, I'm out to destroy the dogma of God.
We are just animals. If God created us, but everything else is just animals, why are our internal organs so similar? Did God use animals as a model? And what about evolution? I mean, an insect has the ability to jump thousands of times it's height. An ability we do not have. Does that mean insects are God's diving creation above us? Or that evolution gave them a defense/offensive ability they needed?
I for one, have never said this. I believe a Jesus existed, and even think he was a hell of a guy. But not "God's" son... And just to make it interesting, you do know Jesus's whole life was spent fighting the idea of "religion" and christians devoted one to him... He's probably rolling over in his grave...
Depends how you mean fabrication... I don't think it was a joke... I think it's a book of exadurations and myths written over a very long period of time.
Pretty much... Doesn't make it any less amazing... More so if you ask me...
I have no faith in anything... If God parted the clouds and said it's time to be judged, I'd obviously believe in God. But a christian sees the world is round, not flat, evolution, not Adam and Eve, and yet they don't budge on their beliefs, as they are continually proven wrong, because of faith... Religion starts with assumption of total knowledge, athiesm/science starts with the assumption of zero knowledge... Take human ego out of the equation and it's the only logical thing to do...
DNA, evolution, similarities in bodies & instincts
The flood, with noah's ark... We have always had the exact same amount of water on this planet. Where is the garden of Eden? Obviously we've gotten back in cause we've been pretty much everywhere without a real problem. Evolution, dinosaurs both don't like Adam and Eve too much...
The world did not, our current state of life on this planet did. Evidence: fossils, carbon dating, dna, similarites in body and instincts.
An athiest has no faith. Show me evidence of a God, and I may concider it to be the truth, depending on conditions, significance, etc...
Got anything else?

If the shoe fits....
I want to say right now that sometimes when I comment, some of you get somewhat offended because you think I took an unfair swipe at you.
I know some of you are very level headed and open minded, but some of you are closed-minded as all get out.
Usually I direct the harsher criticisms at those who do not relent from their dogmatism even the slightest bit, those who seem to be devoid of humor, and those who are on a crusade to rid the world of foul Christians. (it's okay Cris, I'm done. Settle down)
Avatar... have you been taking happy pills lately? You used to act like a phallus, but now you are cool. What gives? Has Xev's confident-nifty-ness rubbed off on you?
Xev, Thanks for the clarification about James R... Judging by his replies and posts "agnostic" must mean "vehemently disagree with every freakin' thing that ekimklaw says"!
Also Xev, you're right, I am very peaceful. I am not like the whacko Christians you mentioned. I'm often told I am "too nice". I would never lift a finger to hurt another human being unless I was defending myself, or a loved one.
Just remember, I do not with to tar all atheists with the same brush. Blanket statements are a drag. I will attempt to clarify myself better in subsequent posts.
thanks,
-Mike

no- no happy pills
interesting- how does a phallus act?
anyway Xev doesn't have any influence on me (may I continue, Xev?) and
I have come to a conclusion that all religions are so below my level of intellect that I better regard them as a joke (even if they are jokes of gods) and not take them seriously. Also I'm pretty fed up with explanation talks (no use of it really - there are people who see what religions are and people who don't) and now prefer a bit of distanced irony.
so be a christian- whatever
I'm an atheist - whatever
peace
Intelligent debate? Okay. I'll bite. Where?
Sorry to bug you all but it seems that Notme in the guise of Empty Dragon has advised that there is intelligent debate to be found here. Mostly because Notme doesn't feel like defending his silly topic post elswhere. But he did say there was intelligent debate going on in this topic, so I thought I'd stick my nose in with a simple question:
Where?
Xev ... the only thing I wanted to mention directly was that wonderful point of Adam's which you happened to repeat in this topic, that atheism is the state in which we are born. Well, when we are born, we cannot walk, cannot even breathe on our own, cannot feed ourselves, and we urinate and defecate wherever we sit. Oh, yeah. And, when we're born, we're atheists.
I would say "two cents", but I"m not sure these comments are worth even that
thanx,
Tiassa

That's one way to look at it. When something is beyond comprehension, simply mock it, say it is beneath you, and ignore it. That's called a defense mechanism.

Come on... you don't know... maybe 20 people have renounced God just by reading your posts. Now by turning into "Casper Milquetoast" they will think you are a quitter and scurry back to their pews. You can't let them down. Hows that for irony?

That's what I said from the very start. To each his own according to his will.
I like you being nice AVATAR, but I don't want you to become patronizing and dull.
Peace to you!

j/kI wouldn't say that- I have understood it all- discussions with my fellow christian latvians were a great help
I really don't care what others think [except if they think tht I'm a religious person which is extremely unlikely]
