DaRev said that we have to follow God's rules because it's his world and that if you believe in Lincoln, you have to believe in God.

Everyone else disagrees.

As usual, OoSnap is nowhere to be found.

ha ha well it looks like its 'me against the world baby'. But I got a secret weapon,....shhh I actaully know what I'm talking about, unlike those opponents in here talking out their butts. Trying to debate something they have not studied or have no experience about, lol. I really dond't get it, how do non-religious people expect to debate religion with a religious person and expect to win? ha ha, you all should stick to talking about games.

I was Christian for 16 years, went to a Christian pre-school and visited church every Sunday throughout my childhood. Surely that's a sufficient amount of experience.

really? well maybe and maybe not.I was a Christian growing up as well, but didn't practice Christianity, i.e. reading my bible, praying, fellowshiping etc, until recently. And all my years of being a 'christian' didn't teach me a thing (well almost nothing). So the amount of time you spend being a 'christian' means almost nothing. It's what you have been doing with that time, those 16 plus years that's important.

 

So, what have you been doing, as a christian for those 16 years, just being a bench warmer? 

I was also a rather devout christian for 16 years.  I was pretty hardcore.  I went to church, prayed, got involved, etc.  Then as I grew up, I matured and realized 2 major problems with faith:  1 - I didn't need a divine father figure supposedly watching over me to do good things and care about fellow man; and 2 - The more I looked into science the more I Realized how much in the bible was physically impossible and had no logical foothold.  

Once I got over those two things, there was absolutely nothing about religion I found appealing, so I left it in my childhood, where fairy tales belong.
