The requirement for faith in defiance of fact and logic is a tenet of liberalism as well. Possibly why so many leftists lose their shit on Christianity. (while remaining oddly mute on islam or anything else that carries knives) They hate the competition.
christians always run away from LOGIC. They fear it.

That’s unfortunately false. Mostly because most “atheists” (at least on the internet) are just idiots who think that just because they figured out that Santa isn’t real, it means they have a superhuman grasp of logic and reason. Talk to them for ten seconds about any subject (especially politics) and you’ll notice they’re about as rational as the Westboro Baptist Church. They’re just marginally better at math.
Anyone who has ever called themselves “athiest” is a fucking retard. They’re usually “hipters” too and any other little term they can use to try and find somewhere to fit in and bitch with fellow losers.
Logic, reason, and facts confine you to a small dark glass box known as the physical world. The only way to escape the confines of that box, is by your spirit.
It’s a rock-solid argument for the existence of the concept of a perfect being, but doesn’t begin to actually prove one… except to people that get fooled by the trickery of arbitrarily assigning the property of necessity, and playing swapsies with the word ‘possible’ (it means ‘hypothetically possible’ *waves magic wand* now it means ‘able to happen’!).
If anyone assigns the name “God” to the being that this argument uses, then it’s a much bigger joke, since that name carries all sorts of baggage that negates several of the other definitions.
Maybe I’m a rarity here, but I don’t see the need to belittle an entire group of people just because they have different ideas about the world than you do. I’ve had the good fortune of meeting a lot of people that are very different from me, and I always try my best to find things we have in common, and enjoy those, not hash out the same arguments we’ll never see eye to eye on.
Diversity is good, very good. It gives you fun, ideas, strong immune system, nice looks, and shit.
But there’s one but – diverse stupidity isn’t. Especially when it wants to “rule the world”, force its believes onto others, into laws. And believing Bible is a word, and work of God, is stupid. Blindly arranging your life around thing written 2000+ years ago, by people who thought earth was flat, and menstruating women are impure, is insane.
No I didn’t. Just wanted to show you why it’s shortsighted and dangerous. Don’t believe me ? Go to northern Nigeria, find recently popular Boko Haram, and say that you’re a American, Christian, Jew, or an atheist, but that you don’t have anything against them, and want to live in peace and harmony.
Exactly. Believing that stuff was perfectly normal 2000 years ago, when people didn’t know better, now it’s just insane. And insanity isn’t something that you should “enjoy”.

Liberalism is a religion in and of itself.
Just noticed the bullying element which further illustrates the left vs Christianity (and Judaism as well of course)

So your “logical” and “reasoned” response to someone asking you to provide some kind of proof to your faith is to call them irrational….?
This is rather childish.
Irony being the video’s creators are Christians.

Remember the days when Christians tried to argue for their religion on MCS? They all ran away or turned into trolls like you see above.

That’s what fiction is for….
Dude, but down the bong, or pass it to me.
Alvin Plantinga’s version of the ontological argument is solid and based entirely on modal logic.

And you totally missed my point.

I’m a little curious how many people there were 2000 years ago that DIDN’T think the world was flat, or even had an opinion on the matter.
And menstruation is impure. That shit’s nasty, yo.
It’s normal bodily function. And for believers, “the funny part” is, God put it there, and God made it a no-no. Just like shellfish, or sex drive.
