WELCOME

Thank you for joining this discussion! This conversation is about discrediting the Christian Church and the Christian God by using their own holy book to disprove their claims. It’s about refusing to believe in a thing that won’t hang together logically or admit of reason, and can’t bear up under questioning (in fact, won’t allow it). This church is still gleefully burning books (?) encouraging bigotry (such as that against abortion doctors), still adamantly against science (while broadcasting to millions using every high-tech gadget they can possibly use). Fundamentalists believe Barak O’Bama is the anti-Christ (for the apparently sever crime of being charming) and that his health care reform is but the first step in establishing a New World Order; so add conspiracy theory enthusiasts to the list of their strange beliefs.

Naturally they believe (as some in every generation do) that these are the very end times (really this time), in which case they see no advantage in things like the environment or world peace – in fact they often pray for Armageddon – the war to end all wars – to arrive soon.

When egomaniacal gurus from foreign countries are exposed as frauds, there’s a general attitude that anyone who believed their weird credo deserves to have been taken advantage of. But when it’s an egomaniacal Christian, no one seems very concerned, and they go right on believing the weird credo, despite the number of frauds exposed. It’s exactly like psychic phenomenon versus prayer effects and miracles; why does one require extraordinary proof while the other requires none at all?

It’s time to tear away the mystical "handkerchief of invisibility" from the Christian religion and judge it on its actual merits. Doing so can have only one outcome, since their beliefs don’t even agree with themselves.

Please feel free to leave your comments supporting either side of the discussion, and I hope you’ll return soon!
