[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another religious freak died, scammer, creeper bit golly gee wiz he was a church going dude!

The Louisiana native was best known for being a captivating Pentecostal preacher with a massive following before being caught on camera with a prostitute in New Orleans in 1988, one of a string of successful TV preachers brought down in the 1980s and ’90s by sex scandals. He continued preaching for decades, but with a reduced audience.

Religion is always the scam. And it’s never been the drag Queens.

OPPs why do people stay religious?? They are either stupid or scammers or child molesters or morally corrupt. Or all of the above. [/quote]

There are lots of religious people who are educated.  They're intelligent and have good jobs and are decent people.  They're just dumb when it comes to religion.[/quote]
So they are essentially followers, which is fine, I don’t think I am better than religious people, I just wish people had more evolved critical thinking skills. [/quote]

I think a lot of people do have evolved critical thinking skills, except when it comes to religion.[/quote]

Exactly. Religious indoctrination quiets the prefrontal cortex (critical thinking) and activates the amygdala (fear center) It’s hard to overcome that [/quote]

But a lot of people have overcome it, including me.  How did we do it? I my case, I just started reading.

I never truly believed, but I can honestly date my full conversion to atheism to an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. No advanced society (or thinking person) believes in Gods.[/quote]How ironic that your faith in “no God” is based on fiction, when it is atheists who claim it is Christians believing in fiction.

By the Laws of Logic, either there is a God or there is not a God: one statement is true, one is false; both cannot be true.

Light has an origin, a source from the beginning when God said, “Let there be light.”

I shall go with God, as the evidence is overwhelming.

[i]For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse[/i] — Romans 1:20

DP - You don't know what "evidence" means, apparently.

And I suspect you are actually an atheist troll, because it's hard for me to accept someone actually utilizes the idiotic logic you present.  FYI, you are not helping.[/quote]I am neither a troll nor an atheist.

The PP bases his atheism on an episode of Star Trek, a work of fiction.

To me, that is irony because it is the atheists who claim we Christians believe in a fictional God and a book of fiction called the Bible.

The evidence for God is abundant and clear.

Spiders are not taught, neither learn on their own how to spin a web. Spiders do this in the dark without using their eyes. This says the knowledge to spin a web to catch its food [i]must[/i] have been programmed into their tiny brains.

Science (so-called) uses the fiction of Evolution to claim, without demonstrating with evidence, how this information entered the spider and is passed on to each generation.

And oh the lucky chance this information happened at rhe same time the spider evolved silk glands, spinnerets, and oiled feet, and both male and female both happened to evolve within each other’s lifespan.

Poppycock!  The spider was created by God, both male and female at the same time with all the information and body parts needed to spin webs, catch and eat food, and reproduce.

Who taught the bird with its tiny brain to sit on its eggs until they hatch? Who taught them to sing and build nests? Who taught the wasp to chew wood into paper to build its nest?

Multiply these examples by millions or more and you see clearly that it is impossible for all this to have occurred by The Theory Of It Just-so Happened.

Romans 1:20 stands true. [/quote]
