[quote=Chris;34769584]Well, originally I was going to post that a dead man coming back to life after spending a couple of nights in a tomb is a more obvious target than a talking snake. Especially as only one of them is the keystone of the entire religion (clue - it's not the snake ................... WELL it wasn't originally some scholars believe ,early christians did not believe christ was resurrected but in order to give the faith a good boost this tale was invented and the catholic church didn't stop there and continue to invent unscriptural nonsense to this day , confession , mary worship , papal infallibilty the mass oh the list is endless .:monkey:

Re: The existence of God
 

You won't find Chris or myself disagreeing with you about Catholicism - neither of us are its biggest fans :D

But where you got the idea from that early Christians did not believe the story of the resurrection I have no idea.

11 ;)

So they all had the idea of rolling the stone away just in case he might be alive? After watching him die? And by an amazing coincidence he was alive at that very moment?

Re: The existence of God
 

I think from a channel 4 documentary if I remember right, we only believe what we are taught I suppose and I trust channel 4 more than the bible , resurrection ? indeed !!!!

Big Brother? Indeed? ;)

Re: The existence of God
 

Well it depends on whether the Channel 4 documentary was impartial. I'm sure you're going to say you felt it was, however it could have been biased towards atheism. As you don't have any links we have no idea if the producer/writer has a particular view they wanted to promote.

You don't seen to go along with the idea of a resurrection. So how would you describe a miracle? Something that can be explained by science?

Re: The existence of God
 

Ok what you've done is link to a particular movement that raised the notion of there being no resurrection. It does not suggest that early Christianity itself had doubts.

Re: The existence of God
 

Beg to differ!

I googled Big Bang v God, Lots of stuff came up, including a sex sites forum post on the topic, and another site from America for pot users, I presume there were others, but those two caught my eye!

Pleased you are, my kids are too, and they(2 out of 3) are non believers too.
Its good to have the morals and values that are in the bible, can often be hard to keep to them, but one can try!

Most kids do what their parents tell them to do, until about this age.
Teenagers at the hall I go to, if they stop coming to the meetings it is at about this age too.
Some seem to stay away for a couple of years or even more, then start coming back.
You can only go to Congregation meetings of any kind if you want to, not because your parents want you to.

Its called free will.

That site is almost accurate! The closest yet...

Re: The existence of God
 

you read 50 pages in 4 mins :eeek:

Re: The existence of God
 

The page you linked to.

Why would I want to read the rest of it when I know God exists? It's just the same worn-out arguments, the same lines taken out of context, it's nothing new.

Incidentally why are you so eager to try and get people to think God doesn't exist?
