Oh Yes! Evolution is obviously the best explanation for the world we live in. Nothing exploded, then out of a slimey pool on planet earth, every living creature evolved! Oh YES! I'll stake my eternity on that, sound solid!
Glad your on board.
incidently
What would a deity want, someone whom was curious about the environment it was put in, or a mindless drone that would never think to even contemplate its surroundings?
Consider your answer, then consider the deity you follow.
If God requires us to be mindless idiots that refuse to acknowledge evidence, he clearly screwed up his design of the human brain. Why would I want to spend an eternity with a imperfect creator whom thinks too highly of itself?
Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. (Acts 17:11)
You see the bible is God's work. We all know that.

We do it because you're obnoxious, and generally behave in the exact opposite manner, of the man whose name you use.

Exactly, its the hypocrisy stupid. Got a brain? READ THE BOOK, read other books. Then you might be able to represent some of what Jesus stood for rather than the opposite of Jesus's intent. Its' being used to enslave people into cults like Jim Jones and David Koresh, Catholicism, and so-on.
I've been to dozens of churches - and NONE of them seem to stay Godly for very long. The best one yet is a tiny little thing where the leader isn't trying to grow - its more like a little social club. It seems the church-model struggles where the "biggest turds float to the top of the ses pool".
BTW, the Koran starts off with rule after rule too - its another doctrine to enslave people. Another "whore of babylon" so to speak. That book is no where near as good of an education as the bible - but more effective for creating slaves.
Also, now that we got NDAA the days are short where a statement of faith is more than a statement of compliance with a religiously motivated satanic govt (what religion is Obama? really? ???).

If you have read the bible and don't see that the stories in it come from the ancient Sumerian texts and the Egyptian Book of the Dead, then you are living the tale. It is nothing except for re-told stories from religions around thousands of years before the Jews left EGYPT (where they learned them). Do you say "Amen"? At the end of your prayers? If so, congratulations on ending prayers with a "pagan" tradition - the way that Egyptians ended prayers with the name of their God - Amen - meaning "powerful one".

This Chuck Missler video you people put up is absolutely hilarious. You do realize he is doing numerology with the English language King James bible, right? How is this meaningful in any way? The English language as present in the KJ bible DID NOT EXIST when the original texts of the bible were written by humans and would not exist for another several hundred years. Just goes to show many of you "Soldiers for Jesus" (which is a contradiction in and of itself) will fall for anything if only it verifies your belief. So much trash "information" in this thread its hard to know where to begin bashing it.
I think ATS needs to make a separate website for religious lunatics, with the motto "Embrace Ignorance."

some people even say Islam is a more peaceful religion. some are so ignorant as to say Jesus never existed
most have been brainwashed threw the school system to believe a theory Charles darwin did not fully believe himself.
buckle up is gonna be a good ride.---another thing people here are highly taught by david ike and texxe marrs to believe "reptilians" are at the top of the pyramid.,and to hate the Jewish state of Israel and to blame everything on the "Zionist"while the real elite get no attention.
everything you said is on point. but as Christians some times we shall do as Jesus said and not throw our pearls(Christs teachings) at swine or pigs (yea this is how Jesus referred to you brainwashed people)--
we are not here to convert the world, some times we should keep our treasures to ourselves.
God bless you brother.
as for proof the bible is the inerrant word of GOD and from outside our time domain...........
The arrogance of this post is staggering.
Point 1: There are smart, open-minded people who understand that there are other beliefs and ways of thinking than their own. There are also paranoid, narrow-minded people. People like you who see any difference of belief or opinion as an attack. You claim that you are hated, ridiculed, and despised, yet you shamelessly refer to other people as swine.
Point 2ut Islam and Christianity side by side, and look at all of the atrocities committed by both since their founding. How many crusades and genocides have been waged in the name of Atheism, or people who don't follow organized religion?
"most have been brainwashed threw the school system to believe a theory Charles darwin did not fully believe himself." I especially love this one. Isn't that all your Bible is?
Yes you are not here to convert the world. You are entitled to believe what you want to believe. You and others like you shouldn't present those beliefs as absolute truth and expect not to be challenged. I think thats the whole issue with your ilk, you get challenged and that upsets you.

So they could know of His commandments and follow them. And also to prepare for the second coming of Jesus.

There's only one problem with this picture. If they were honest, the gays psychologically need Christians to persecute them, just as much as Christians need to carry out said persecution. If you take victimhood away from the Left in general, you take away its' reason to exist.

I am an AGNOSTIC...but I know my History. There was once a Spring Solstace Holiday and Festival of fertility...Pagan in nature called the The Holiday of ESTER. The Christians changed it to EASTER.
Ever wonder what Baskets filled with grass and eggs and chicks and bunnies has to do with Jesus Christ?....ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
I'm thinking that you don't know your history as well as you think that you know it.
The only thing pagan about Christian Easter is its name.
Bunnies, eggs, baskets, chickens, etc... are not, and never were part of the Christian celebration of Easter. They are American marketing icons for the holiday that were added by American corporations. The same with all the Christmas stuff like trees, Santa Clause (in his current “form”), etc.. They took all these various historical/pagan traditions and injected them into the holidays, not the church.
You will never walk into a Christian Church on Easter and see any of those pagan icon sitting on the alter.
The reason why Easter falls when it does is because that is when the actual event happened. We know this because it happened during the Jewish Passover.
