History books say the Inquisition happened. For almost a thousand years until ended by many violent national revolutions in the 1800s, Inquisitors had informers list nonconformists. As courts, the traveling terrorist Christian death squads met out punishment. Since it's in the history books, you say we should worship this. Which side? The Christian Church or its victims?
Ha! You really do not read well. No where did I claim to be the good Christian. I did say I preferred to have them as neighbors. You not so much but I do look forward to promises you have made.
I exist, therefore I exist. I have a social security number, at the very least. Or maybe it was the cause of the something (?)
You do realize there are other exclusive religions out there, right? You also must realize that the adherents of those religions are just as sure of their faith as you are of yours, and thus are as just as sure of your path to hell as you are of theirs? I saw Hulk Hogan body slam Andre the Giant on TV once. Those events were documented by established parties as they were happening and do not involve anything that literally cannot happen according to the laws of the universe. They are historically and scientifically trustworthy sources of information. Why can't those small minded people just believe that impossible things occurred thousands of years ago? What is their deal, anyway? So your argument is... God exists because humans exist. Brilliant. You know, I agree with you to an extent. God exists as much as we want God to exist. Without humans, the concept of God would not exist on Earth.
Before you blame all Christians for the inquisitions, remember they "the Catholic Church" killed Protestants. So under your blatant "strawman" argument. You also believe atheists are all terrible because the communists murdered 100 times the amount of people as the inquisition.
Bro, I'm a Christian and I put great faith in the Bible, but using the Bible as a factual historic proof won't work. The only way people will believe in the accounts of the Bible is when they have faith. You are debating the "faithless", so Denny's aquaman comic mean just as much to them as the Bible for factual historic and mystical events that took place. Just my two cents...
This is what Christ has done for me... Saved me, gave me hope and filled me with grace. This is what man has done for me. Lied, mocked my God, destroyed a pure doctrine. Basically used Christianity to fill their greed of wealth and power. So as u use inquisitions, murders in the name if God, and crazy "right wingers" as reference of why Christianity is broke, it doesn't sway me one but. For man is corrupt, so they will destroy anything with good intentions.
