Christianity

Indeed, The “Science Club of Long Island” on Jesus’ broken promise to return

However, "He does not note that, for example, just like any word, term or phrase “Kingdom of God” has many meanings within the New Testament," for starters.

So while the preservation of the human race, at least for the sake of the children—think of the children!—is this atheist’s ultimate premise he did not answer as to why.
But why answer as to why? Why have a why? Is it not enough in and of itself?
No.

I responded thusly:

I am not sure if you cannot identify a rhetorical device when you encounter one or if you are being sarcastic. Obviously, or so I thought, I was attempting to get you to elucidate because you did no “show” anything—you merely presented some assertions and I was asking why those assertions are valid and or upon what they were premised.

Moreover, you are incorrect in stating that “so much for the xian claim of atheists having no moral code,” this is not the claim, the claim is that you have no premise beyond your personal preferences.

Here is the response:

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought you were asking in what manner I condemn them as opposed to what justification I'd use for condemning them.

Still, it's easy. The deaths of innocent children, pain and suffering, (would you want that kind of thing done to you), and then there's the fact that acts of genocide aren't really conducive to the human race's survival.

Your god set up a lot of lousy precedents in the OT which history shows that your fellow believers made use of.

I say “debate” because that which follows is part of a discussion/debate derived from a blog that I used to run wherein I had originally posted the essay, Speaking of Assiduous Absconders…Yet Again, Vox Day Challenges PZ Myers to Debate (see my debate section in general for more).

Not content to let the facts speak for themselves an atheist came to the rescue of their cult of personality’s cenobite.

As with all attempts to discredit Christianity: every few years the same ol′ objections are voiced in different forms and are discredited only to be voiced again voiced in different forms and discredited only to be voiced again voiced in different forms and discredited only to be voiced again voiced in different forms and discredited—you get the picture.

I have been contemplating issues Glenn Beck related as of late, particularly with regards to his recent Washington DC gathering.
Gregg, of the blog Gospel-Driven Disciples, recently posted Glenn Beck: The Usurping of the Christian Agenda and this seemed a good opportunity to play off of his musing, some of which follows:

Church – What is wrong with this picture?

What have they done with Angela? Well, whilst being engaged to be married, she engaged in unmarried fornication with another man. Meanwhile, we are led to believe that she maintains a strictly plutonic relationship with her fiance only to find out that she was also engaging in unmarried fornication with him. Thus, she is engaging in unmarried fornication with two men.

Just how does art imitate life and life imitate art? That is the question.

This article proposes no generic reference to the office as what may be your workplace but to “The Office,” the television program.
Au fond; The Office is a very well done show consisting of very funny dialogue and endearing characters.
This is true of both the original UK version and the US version—how one comes up with lines such as “the toad is the ugliest of the amphibians” (from the UK version) is a mystery.

It is interesting to note that atheists have attempted to talk the “faithful”—and here I will only speak for Christians—into believing that faith, our faith, Biblical faith, is “belief without evidence.” To substantiate this, they oft point to Hebrews 11:1 which states that “faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

With regards to slavery in the Bible and the claims of biblical defense of slavery it is no surprise that Evilbible.com offered their two shekels on this subject.

Let us consider every statement made in their page Slavery in the Bible which begins thusly:

On occasion I have written about the issue of slavery/servitude in the Bible. Note that by merely writing and thinking in terms of “slavery/servitude” you have just dissolved just about every atheist besmirching, via appeals to slavery, of the Bible (this is even though the atheist cannot even condemn slavery beyond informing you that they have personally decided to condemn it—which is a tautology, by the way).

I wished to focus upon one text which is ubiquitously employed a well-within-the-box-atheist-group-think-talking-point; namely, Exodus 21:20-21.

Eckhart Tolle—Savior of the Earth and Humanity:
Now we come to the portion wherein we find that Eckhart Tolle and only his true way are our salvation. Note that he states that, “we need to” which is a moral and theological imperative—no question about it and no suggestion but something that we must do, “we need to”:

Apologetics 315—the premiere interesting audio on all things apologetics, and then some, blog—has begun posting a series that will run through April.

It is titled Is Christianity True? (intro) and consists of a group effort by various online apologists who have answered the question variously within the confines of 1,000 word essays.

Oprah Winfrey Gets and Gives Bad Advice:

Conflicts Between Winfrey/Tolle Spirituality and Christianity (concluded):

Another question was posted with regards to conflict between the old, wrong, excluded Christian way and the new, true spiritual way as the questioner states:

Let us pick up where we left off last time:

15) Tattoos are anathema: ("You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh on account of the dead or tattoo any marks upon you. I am the Lord"--Leviticus 19:28) Despite this teaching I manage to see Mexican Catholics daily with tattoos of the Virgin Mary, Jesus or a set of praying hands on their forearms and shoulder blades.

Now, let us consider the manners in which she attempted to vilify Christians for not following laws that were not meant for them.

In this portion we will finish off the New Testament portion of Charlotte's 22 side dishes and begin to get a tasted of her fallacy of attempting to talk atheist into believing that New Testament Christians are supposed to follow Old Testament laws.
