Christians and logic don't mix.
That's funny considering this majority Christian nation is the most powerful and richest in the world. Atheists stay screaming about their superiority and then want to deride the religious because of lack of evidence when in in the Bible it even says it is by faith, not sight. Yet these materialists who use their own standard of the necessity of physical evidence to judge others can provide little evidence of a successful atheist civilization... and yet they are convinced of the superiority of their own belief set.
The only example they bring up is the 'nordic nations', which many actually have a national church and was Christian before their recent secular push. All of the communist nations mandated atheism and ultimately they are nations no one wants to live in. Those nations are deemed failures in comparison to their counterparts. People don't move to those countries. They get away from them.
These e-atheists are just as hypocritical as the so called religious. They champion themselves as 'independent thinkers', but exhibit group-think on a level equal to if not greater than the religious. The majority of their rhetoric comes from atheist websites and what they parrot from other prominent atheist such as Dawkins, Hitchens, Maher and the such. They love to scream 'science' randomly, as if science is the sole domain of atheists. They are independent thinkers and champions of science in their own mind and yet have no scientific research they've done themselves and parrot the rhetoric of other atheists, nor do they require evidence for many of their own beliefs.
They've merely switched the toggle switch from belief to disbelief and now all of a sudden in their mind they are some sort of enlightened thinker on an intellectual plane above the religious. Most of ya'll are pretty much the same person that you were before you were 'awakened' to the ignorance of religion, yet instead of spouting off your pastor's maxim, you regurgitate the maxims of prominent atheists.
Logic and Christianity don't mix, and yet I've seen atheists do the SAME dancing and utilization of logical loopholes that they deride in others. I've never gotten an answer to a few questions I've asked atheists.
Atheists love to talk about the scientific evidence and replicable evidence as a neccessity for belief in their own minds, and yet I've not seen them show me evidence of creating something from nothing in a lab.
I have yet to see an answer to the following question. How can we have a world of extremely high order and logic derive from complete chaos and nothingness-- or in other words, complete nonlogic. That makes about as much sense as saying a chimpanzee created the Mona Lisa by randomly throwing paint at a canvas or that a squirrel was able to write a complex philosophical treatise by randomly jumping on a typewriter. At least in those scenarios, squirrels and monkeys at least have a CAPACITY for intelligence, and yet it would be viewed as ridiculous for them to create something with the complexity of a beautiful painting or a book of philosophy... and yet we're supposed to believe completely nonintelligence, nonlogic and chaos created something infinitely more complex and ordered.
The fact that you can even study the universe, aka utilize scientific research methods, shows that there are replicable patterns and order. So then, show me a random number generator which generates fixed, repeatable patterns that are able to be studied. I doubt you can... and yet we're supposed to believe this tremendously large universe of fixed laws and properties and order was created from complete chaos.
Atheists love to point to the fact that because we haven't seen God, it is a joke to believe God exists. So I suppose it is also a joke to believe that computer programmers exist because the characters within the world of a videogame cannot see them and the programmers essentially exist in a different dimension than the videogame characters, correct? Those videogame characters could examine the pixels and polygons in their world and yet never see their creators nor the code behind that world, so I assume it would be logical for them to believe with a certainty that because they have not seen the computer programmers, that they were created from complete nothingness?
I'm sure you have answers for those questions since you are on a logical plane far past the religious and since you would NEVER deviate from the scientific method you champion so much of evidence before belief.
