Comments: Which is more believable, the fact that we all came from a ball that just "happened" to explode or How The Earth Was Made In Six Days?
Webmaster's response: Gee Nick, I dunno, why don't you tell us?
Name: Henry
Comments: This quote on the page "Atheism vs. Christianity" is absurd:

"Because an atheist got God banned from public schools ... [children's] morals are at an all-time low."
This is completely wrong. The article portrays atheists as immoral. Morals do NOT come from the bible, they come from a personal conscience that consists in all of us. Even so, these moral standards in the bible have changed and do not reflect society's values NOW.

Society today accepts tolerance and is moving past discrimination which is clearly emphasised in the bible.
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." - Leviticus 18:22.

Discrimination against women, which has no valid reason whatsoever, is emphasised in the bible and does NOT reflect morals, but the stubbornness of religious goat herders thousands of years ago.

Deuteronomy states that women are worth less than men.
22:13-21 if a women is not a virgin when she marries she should be stoned to death.
22:28-29 if a women is raped she must marry her rapist.

This is NOT moral, and doesn't reflect society's values. Soren Kierkegaard, an existentialist philosopher in the 19th century, puts it well:

"The human race has outgrown Christianity."
Webmaster's response: So William, why did you go by Henry this time? Don't you still stand by what you said before? (Yes I know it's you.)

Without the authoritative Word of God, there is no morality. If morality comes from one's "personal conscience", then basically anything you "feel" is right can be moral. Since you brought up Hitler before, let's use him as an example. His personal conscience told him it was moral to commit genocide. He convinced an entire society of that, and then genocide became the social norm. So by your definition, nobody can tell the Nazis they were immoral. That kind of Bible-rejecting moral relativism has produced mankind's greatest tragedies.

Speaking of Hitler, his quotes about Christianity are exactly like Kierkegaard's. Funny, that.

Those Deuteronomy quotes only sound like they condone rape and repressing women if you take them out of context and twist them (one of atheists' favorite tactics). Read this for a detailed explanation of how the laws protected and upheld women and dealt with wrongdoers.

Comments: You refer to the idea that if the 9-11 hijackers had been attempting to commit the extremist act for Christianity, god would have stopped them.

Quote : "If the 9/11 hijackers had been followers of Christ, 9/11 wouldn't have happened."

What about an example when god didn't stop the Christian extremists from mass genocide. Hitler, say?
Webmaster's response: You seem to have missed the point. If the 9/11 terrorists had been Christians, they wouldn't have been terrorists in the first place.

As for Hitler being a Christian, I actually wrote an article debunking this common atheist lie a while back and never posted it. Your comments prompted me to get it online (view it here.) Thanks for contributing to the site, William!

Name: William
Comments: In regards to the 'article' "Where was god on 9-11",

If god really was, as you say, "on 4 commercial flights" then why did he not stop the terrorist hijackers, when he could have so easily? Why on earth did he allow "traffic delays" to stop two thirds of the people entering the buildings, when he could have saved 100 percent?

You mention that god was "On one of the flights he was giving strength to passengers to try to overtake the hijackers." Why not give strength to passengers on ALL planes?

Why did he save some, but forsook others? Did he discriminate?
If god was loving, or real for that matter, he would have stopped 9-11 from occurring without the loss of life, and the many repercussions that were to follow.
Webmaster's response: There was a time when the world was free of death and tragedy, but that ended when we let sin into the world. I think one of the greatest proofs of God is that if everyone obeyed his word, the vast majority of pain and suffering in the world would be eliminated. If the 9/11 hijackers had been followers of Christ, 9/11 wouldn't have happened.

I hate it that bad things do happen to good people, but God is still the only way to make things better instead of worse.

Comments: On your AvC page queted 2 Pet. 3:9:
The Lord is... not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
How about Mark. 4:11-12:
And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
Looks like Jesus did will that some perish!


Webmaster's response: What Jesus is saying there is that people who won't try to understand his parables with faith and spiritual discernment will never understand them... because they will never submit to God. He certainly did not mean that he willed some to perish, but that some would never understand because of their selfish hearts.

helpful beyond belief
Comments: I live in Thailand as a missionary and today I fell into terrible temptation(Bangkok is a very sinful city). I didn't know what to do so I punched in "how to overcome lust" and this site came up. This is something I have struggled with my whole life and I believe you are right. The only way to overcome it is by drawing closer to God. The things you said about loving our wife is very true. I want to have a healthy marriage and to do that I have to seek after God. Please pray for me. I cannot give you my real name because of who might see this. Thank you for website.
