[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always wonder why atheists ask for proof of spiritual things.  There isn't proof, that is why we call it "faith."  If it was proven, faith would be paltry.  I am not looking for proof.

They said it best in "oh brother where art thou"...everybody's looking for answers.  I don't have any answers for you.  I do believe the incredible complexity that is life and space is a manifestation of God, who is infinite.  The cosmos only makes sense when you have some faith, because the answers just keep changing as the concept of infinite gets larger and more complex.[/quote]

It's the quintessential Christian escape hatch.  Their God is real and you must believe in him, but there's no proof because it's all faith, which has a much higher value than proof.  Why? because Christians' say so with such determination and aplomb.[/quote]

Nobody, certainly not PP, said *you* must believe. [/quote]

It's a basic Christian tenet that you must believe in order to receive eternal Salvation.  There is no earthly penalty for not believing, but there is an eternal one.  It's the work of Christian missionaries -- to save heathens from eternal damnation.[/quote]

No, no, no. Many Christians, perhaps the majority, think there are many ways to heaven. Are you the one who posted in this thread or another one that Christians are supposedly commanded to martyr themselves? Are you the Jew with "theological training" who has said other incorrect things about what "all Christians" supposedly believe? There's a lot of bad and incorrect information being posted recently by a non-Christian about supposed "basic tenets" and "commandments" in Christianity that really arent. [/quote]

How do you know that it's a non-Christian saying these things.   Christians, believe lots of different things, depending on the denomination.  One basic belief, though, is that Christ is the son of god who came to earth as our salvation, for those who believe in him.[/quote]

Easy, the snark about saving the heathens from eternal damnation. No Christian would put it this way (although you wouldn't know that, not being Christian).[/quote]
