Oh God, the smiley face dipshit is back with his Pascals Wager nonsense.
You are wagering your life on atheism, my friend.

If you can past the part where God created the heavens and the earth, the rest of it is cream cheese.Check out these posts and see why I don't get involved in debates on religion. It's pointless. People get stuck on fairy tales and bullshit written by goofballs so long ago no accountability or proofing is possible.
It's nothing more than mythical nonsense worthy of Egyptian or Aztec value.
Moses gathered species from all over the earth. Then put them back. Tell us, how lomg did it take for the world to flood and then recede? Don't pass off an example like this. How many humans? WTF bullshit is this? Did the Egyptians lie like this?
The Bible is loaded with bullshit and nonsense. If you use it as a literal reference, it's a piece of shit. If otherwise you're in the fiction section, so you lose.
I've said my piece. I'm done.
Sorry to hear that. Best to keep focused on Jesus.I became a Christian when I was married 25 years ago, couple years ago Wife, I and all the grown kids left due to the politicization and hypocrisy
Yes. If you can get past God making the heavens and the earth, which is every bit as believable as any other creation explanation, then this is pretty easy stuff.I’m not saying he didn’t. I’m saying there are a lot of exaggerations as to what happened at times. Do you really think he turned water into wine and Mary was a virgin when she gave birth?
Not really. I think the biggest problem evolution has is that it can't get started.Evolution destroys creationism.

I think you're using a pretty broad brush and really selling churches short. There are several churches that I know of that do a lot of good and make a difference in the community and abroad.To eat, procreate, and not be an asshole.
Religion is a judgemental waste of time that exists because because it’s profitable.
Churches should be taxed like a son of a bitch.
Lately we've been attending an evangelical free church.What denomination are you?

I can't disagree with this. I think that some people who call themselves Christians arguably do more damage to the church than most atheists could ever do.Usually religious folks who wear it on their sleeve are the biggest sinners.
You're right these types of debates usually end in a stalemate on the surface, but I've also witnessed moving of needles that may or may not have made a difference.I'm totally on fire right now. Religious debates always pique my interest. There are no winners in the end

A friend who does thanksgiving turkey trot with us (and usually wins the women's category) recently posted a strava workout where she ran it like ten times for interval work. Sick. she was like a college heptathlete or something.I did in college.
I've also driven by it 100 times.

Adam and Eve real?Yes. If you can get past God making the heavens and the earth, which is every bit as believable as any other creation explanation, then this is pretty easy stuff.
If God's word tells me that they existed, then yes.Adam and Eve real?

Bullshit. The Bible is a book of Fairy Tales.Those are metaphors, IMO.

You're not going to mention Jonah surviving being eaten by a whale? Like I said, if you can get past God creating the heavens and the earth then all the rest should be easy.What about the Burning Bush and Talking Snake? Noah’s Arch? Moses parting the Red Sea?
I think you sell it short. There's a lot more at play here than any fairy tale.Bullshit. The Bible is a book of Fairy Tales.
