Apologetics 301 Guidelines
If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you
This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

How can you compare the effect of a religion on a person, people or culture with what they would have been like without that religion?
For one who loves to harp on about objective verifiable evidence you sure like to learn on hypothetical speculations to support your prejudices....>>> Witty remark or snarky quote of another poster goes here <<<...

Originally posted by seer View PostI will keep an eye out for them, there must be at least one. In all seriousness, probably a good third of my church is populated with addicts (of every sort), drunks, former atheists and criminals, who today live exemplary lives. And yes I put atheists in the category of criminal.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostWe had a guy like that many years ago - he came to Church pretty well fresh from a night of partying, even sometimes looking pretty hungover. We just "hung with him", and one day he called the Pastor (I was the youth minister) and asked him "How come you guys put up with my !@#%" Pastor told him, "because Jesus put up with mine". Somehow, that conversation changed things, and the guy drastically changed, and soon became one of our bus captains for our bus routes - and, though much older now, still actively serving the Lord.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.
