A comment from you was the last thing I ever expected.<br /><br />In response to your first comment: I can appreciate that.<br /><br />Second comment: I agree with you. Religious debates are often unfruitful, unfortunately. I have heard many people claim that their religion has evidence and can stand up to the tough answers, but I have yet to see anything even Mormon411https://www.blogger.com/profile/04113317471178740266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889091745815151535.post-23837722420597820252012-07-19T11:55:09.934-06:002012-07-19T11:55:09.934-06:00A couple comments:

It's purpose is not debate. There are plenty of other forums for that.<br /><br />Second, there are plenty of ignorant professing Christians who are not able or willing to take criticism or debate. There are also many who are willing.

I will get back to you in a few days to offer my extended thoughts. <br /> However, just a small correction among your quotes: Money is not the root of all evil, which is an oft-misquoted paraphrase of a bible scripture. It is the LOVE of money (literally in Greek- 'fondness of silver') that is the corrupting attitude.

If you feel you have evidence to support creationism, I'd love to hear it.<br /><br />I don't think creationists are uneducated and stupid. They are very smart, which is why I am all the more confused. Educated people tend to be critical thinkers which is why it amazes me that there is Mormon411https://www.blogger.com/profile/04113317471178740266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889091745815151535.post-17794385051036911972012-03-13T12:08:07.150-06:002012-03-13T12:08:07.150-06:00I stumbled across your blogsite last night, and, a...I stumbled across your blogsite last night, and, although I am a believer in God and creation, I would have to agree with you on several issues.

And the authors of the New Testament had access to the Old Testament, making it very easy to "fulfill" the prophesies. So it doesn't impress me and yet they fall all over themselves with excitement about how amazing their prophesying god is!<br /><br />If nothing else, it&#Mormon411https://www.blogger.com/profile/04113317471178740266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889091745815151535.post-21478267636108188202012-03-13T03:42:07.802-06:002012-03-13T03:42:07.802-06:00I don't suppose you read his site on the day a...I don't suppose you read his site on the day after you posted, but he's drawn our attention to an unexpected example of scientific method in the book of Isaiah: <br /><br /><i>If one claims another [God], God challenges them to prove it.

My boyfriend used to go yell at him all the time. The debates were so heated and stupid that it was funny. The preacher could never come back with anything constructive.
