Exactly. What's funny is that if you told this same people you believed in a guy wearing red suit ,has a white beard and lived in the north pole, delivering gifts on Christmas eve, they would laugh and call you a fool

Like I said, these arguments have been rehashed well before your great grand parents were conceived. Try and inject some originality in your thinking

This thread is about ONE Book; End of Reason
If you haven't read it, are not reading or won't read it, you are spamming and trolling. But it is well, even trolls are primates
Typical of Christians. once they cant get their message across, they get aggressive. Is that what Christ taught you

Let me see ask you a christian to "prove" God's existence to you and this exact reply would be posted .

Am not asking you to prove God exist, I know He does. He just doesn't live in your bible

Ravi comes to the task with unique credentials. Himself a former atheist, Ravi personally knows the bankruptcy of living as if there is no God, and thus he is impervious to the false allure of athe- ism being promoted by this new breed of spiritual iconoclasts.

As an insightful and accomplished philosopher, Ravi is able to systematically dismantle the feeble case for skepticism built by Harris. And as an astute theologian, he is equipped to dispel the false- hoods and misinterpretations of Scripture that fuel Harris’s disdain for Christianity.

With relentless logic, an impressive grasp of the relevant literature, a deep understanding of world religions, and an unerring sense of grace and convic- tion, Ravi manages to unveil the embarrassing im- potency of Harris’s arguments.

to make you understand that there are countless religions in the world . Each saying its the way to eternal life. Yet religion has brought about the darkest moments in human history, talk about the Salem witch hunts, the Spanish inquisition, the Holocaust, the crusades. This are just few of the evils inspired by religion

I am a Christian who has been overwhelmed by the Logic of God and Everything . Deal with my belief as a Christian ,

Atheists like Mao , Stalin, Hitler and a lot of other atheists have decimated humans in the past . The Soviet Union brutally dealt with Christians. North Korea's Kim is feeding people to dogs and building nuclear bombs that can obliterate life on Earth . But somehow just somehow the evil done by only religion is of concern to you lipsrsealed .

religion never really was the culprit but human ignorance . Ignorance of the bible and man's true enemy. Any new testament believr will know st. Paul admonishes,that we fight not against "flesh and blood"... To say that Christianity spurred the religious wars is to talk nonsense. On the other hand, the koran explicitly encourages muslims to slay the "infidels".
Are these two religions from the same God? No.
Pastors hav committed murder under the supposed guidance of God. Was it God?no. But u atheists would so love any poo that smears God's image. You jump at it.

You really have no argument.
Powerpuff girls is kid entertainment, flying chariots is from Christian scriptures,the Bible.The authoritative source.

Killing in which dispensation and under what context?
You are deliberately mixing different contexts together to make a false point.
A police man shooting a thief, and a brother killing a stranger ,
are they the same ? Is the policeman now a murderer?
Should the court acquit the brother because the police kill men too?

You failed to mention that God gave man time to repent but man refused. You don't see that.
You don't see God making a way for sinful man to escape judgement by getting into the ark b4 it was too late or to repent and turn from his evil ways.
You don't see that man in Noah's time, Sodom and gomorrah , canaan reaped God's judgement?

Get your arguments aligned and well-balanced before firing.

That's just the thing I'm curious about: What exactly is it that makes the Bible THE authoritative source? I'm sincerely curious as to what you believe regarding this. Thank you.

I wonder how you have managed to equate a policeman shooting a thief to a man taking a young boy, tying him up and getting ready to kill him and burn his body.

Please try another analogy; this one is nauseatingly puerile.

But it is o record; in the bible nonetheless, that the Christian God is in the practice of ordering mass murder, infanticide and a whole lot of atrocities. I will not begin to post them here because I believe you should already know, but if you want, I can post a link to an article that discusses that extensively.

By what mandate exactly can you decide on whether those actions were done in ignorance and not following the bible? Remember that those people were the ones who brought the religion to you in the first place.

You have not read the Quran, yet you are willing to make broad statements about what is or isn't in it. Brilliant.

The most common defence of Christians to the several atrocities in the bible is 'context', which someone used earlier, comparing Abraham's attempted murder with a policeman shooting a thief. Yet, you are not willing to understand the context surrounding the Quran's own atrocities. Again, Brilliant.

For the Christian, the bible is the AUTHORITY on all matters.
I could into explaining but it would require another thread. You and every man has a choice though on wether to accept its authority or not.

please, let me know what makes it peurile.

The analogy clearly, distinguish two kinds of similar acts ,taking of a life, by giving some context.

When ur ilks want to put down the bible,you intentionally remove the contexts to make the deed appear as gross as possible. All while tryna appear objective.
