The more I think about it, the more it seems to me that the proper counter argument is that Obama is Jesus Many people believed that the rapture would occur in 1988 (1988 being forty years, or "one generation" in some interpretations, afte...  [Read More]
(I'm also sure there's a fallacy that corresponds to this, though I can't remember the name. Achilles?)I don't see The Source's posts so I don't have any context for the quote, but I'll take a stab in the dark and guess that you're either looking for...  [Read More]
You knew what she meant. :indif:Careful. I do indeed have an opinion on what I think she meant. My purpose here is to find out if what she said and what she meant are the same. Funny, yet unnecessary. There's obviously no real proof here.Either he h...  [Read More]
OK, I said "I don't think". It was still qualified. I was more concerned with this part: I'm a pre-millenialist so the rapture is supposed to come prior to the tribulation That doesn't sound like an opinion. That sounds like a statement. A...  [Read More]
also, I John 2:18 (NIV) "... and as you have heard, the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come..."Would it help to point out that John was gnostic and that gnostic writings make scientology appear tame and well thought ou...  [Read More]
That's why I said 'I think'. Actually that isn't what you said, but if you're telling me that's what you meant, then I'll accept that. It's my opinion based on the reading and studying I've done of the Bible, and I'm by no means a Bible scholar, tho...  [Read More]
With regards Obama, you can present your arguments or not, but I do think the view that he is the anti-Christ is not based on logic, and as such logic will have no impact on the said view.Well put....  [Read More]
I'd like to know how to convince people that Obama isn't the so-called antichrist.People that draw conclusions without evidence aren't likely to change their minds regardless of what arguments you use. Beliefs tend to be resistant to reason by their...  [Read More]
Obama's not the antichrist, but he's certainly anti-american...Could you please help me understand what this means? I'm a pre-millenialist so the rapture is supposed to come prior to the tribulation, so I don't think the Tribulation has happened yet...  [Read More]
All of the people I go to church with think Obama might be the Antichrist...:lol: Hey Arcesious, just so I know how to respond, is this intended to be a political thread or a religious thread? Thanks in advance....  [Read More]

Okay-- I'll meet you halfway (because I still believe that Bush is a moron). Offshore drilling, in my opinion, only encourages us (being the United States) to continue its unhealthy, and unsustainable desire for oil, which is a supply that, at our cu...  [Read More]

You get mad at me if I don't answer you, and then you get mad at me when I do, even if it's late. What do you want? I think that it would be significantly easier for me to accept this had you actually posted to respond to some part of my point. You i...  [Read More]

Judaism has all sorts of prophecies concerning the messaiah, they knew all this stuff already.Specifically that he would suffer as a martyr? All the books I've read that make reference to jewish messianic prophecy indicate that they were expecting a...  [Read More]

You've spent the better part of the year responding to my thoughts on religion with sarcasm. I don't want to deal with the sarcasm, and the easiest way to do that is to just walk away from the conversation when it gets heated, whether it's religion,...  [Read More]

Well what would constitute a valid logical argument though? I guess I'll know it when I see it. In all honesty, when it comes to religion, I'm not sure a logical argument exists. I would tend to agree. Can't rule it out though. IMO, the only reason...  [Read More]

For myself, I'm not open minded in the fact I need physical proof of existence. If I didn't need physical proof I would have to accept all religions as being true and the probability of all of them being accurate is 0. So, until there is physical pro...  [Read More]

Therefore we tend to say "X does not exist" when there's no evidence for it. Or, if I may, "there is no reason for us to think that X exists" when there is no evidence for X. A vast majority of people (including many participants...  [Read More]

I guess I'm trying to use 'Agnostic' as the most neutral position. Although if there is a term for soemthing truly neutral besides... I dunno, 'Neutralist' (Is that even a word?), then I'll start using that term.I guess I don't view agnostics as bein...  [Read More]

Tot: But as far as I know, Achilles haven't stated: "there is no god", rather he goes with "there is no evidence for a god, and hence it's no reason to believe in one". You don't need to deny a gods existence to be an atheist, sim...  [Read More]
