Atheism is more of a religion than Christianity
In my humble opinion, I observe atheism to be more of a 'religion' than Christianity. Before I go any further, I will define what religion is. Religion is "a specific fundamental set of beliefs and practices generally agreed upon by a number of persons or sects." I, as a Christian, do not like the word 'religion'. Religion is man-made; and Christianity is not a religion, rather a relationship with Jesus Christ. The reason I say atheism is more of a religion than Christianity is that it tak...
Should people believe in god or not?
I am a Protestant and I am very that I believe in God! It is great when you know that you are not alone in this world, that there is always Someone who takes care about you, that He created you and He is your second Father....
Are Christians the real anti-christ?
Why do I ask this? Jesus never judged people, he never talked down to people, never left someone out because of who they were or what social circle they belonged too. He loved everyone as equals. Did all he could to help people who needed help. Gave a hand to those who needed it, and tried to help those in need. Unlike modern day Christians. Who do nothing but pass judgment. Ignore those in need of a simple hand. Or thought down on those that don't read from the same novel they read from....
the catholic church has never contradicted itself, from an official capacity
in this debate, i am not counting the issues of limbo, or "no salvation outside the catholic church". you would think if the catholic church were not true, that it would have contradicted itself at some point in two thousand years. the only things that count are statements that are authoritative, things that could be considerted "infallible". the pope, intentionally, teaches, the church, on faith and morals. that is the criteria. it includes many councils and other statements by popes....
Atheists do not understand the Bible
Before I begin, I would like to admit that nearly all atheists and some theists will vote against me- main reason one being that this is a bit of a complicated idea because atheists technically "know" more about the Bible, and main reason two being that atheists, according to my experience, resort to insults when stalemated, checkmated or proven wrong. However, to quote Frank Zappa, "It has never mattered to me that thirty million people might think I'm wrong. The number of people who thought Hi...
God broke his promise to Abraham and the Bible admits it
As a Bible skeptic, I love debating Bible issues to show fallacies in the Bible so I would love to get into a debate about the reliability of of the Biblical God's promises. After all, if He cannot be relied on for one promise, how can he be trusted on any promise? This is for Bible believers only. First round is for acceptance and I will go ahead and put a little info out there. God promised this to Abraham:

miracles occur, but almost never to atheists
please show something that happened to an atheist, that would have been called a miracle had it happened to a religous person, because of its scientifically inexplicable nature. no semantics pleas what are thought of as miraculous events are heavily documented and readily available. someone can see with no retinas even though this seems scientifically impossible etc, just to use an example. the common objection of atheists and skeptics is that things just happen to occur by probability...

The Bible is outdated
I believe that the Bible is outdated. It was written thousands of years ago and times have changed. Either we need to update the bible somehow, or we need to disregard some of the content....
