Re: Atheism growing in America
I know what he is saying it is this mentality that makes Christianity cultish. let me break it down for you.... I was born to an ordained minister and professor of theology (my father) and to a missionary kid (my mother) I grew up in the church and accepted Jesus as my saviour at about the age of 4 or 5 (by the model of confessing with my mouth and believeing in my heart, keep in mind there was a time when you believed in Santa Clause but you no longer do... does that mean that you never did believe? no it doesn't). I was active in the church and it ministries for well over a decade through Jr high and high school and was at church every Sunday and Wednesday. About a little over a year ago I started to educate myself in church history and deep study of doctrine and such and their origins. The things I found made me come to the logical conclusion that Christianity wasn't olny a false religion but more so that it was impossible to come from god at all.... I studied further studying science logic and reason (among other things) and came to the conclusion that not only was god was improbable but much rather impossible. I came to this conclusion because of the sheer fact that there is no real evidence for his existance. And any word games or mental gymnastics that you try to give proof is ilogical (give me one of your proofs and I will explain why.) now if you want to have an honest convertation involving facts rather than belief and emotionalism than we can talk I would be more than happy to teach you about logic and reason...
Uncertain Drummer is a logical person (for the most part) and he still believes in god and I can't really condemn him for that because he come to his conclusion even after leaning science and logic and he still believes in god. So he for the most part came to his conclusion honestly (for him not me) good for him if he can believe that there is a god I really can get mad at him for that. I disagree with him on his interpretations greatly but at least he and I can have intelegent (for the most part) debates about the subject.
