Why Do Theists....

[nailit]

think that unbelievers are unbelievers by choice?

[Theland]

Why that response?
Read my earlier posts.
I can't write a novel here and you know it.

[naomi24]

I'm not asking you to write a novel, Theland. I'm asking you to answer my question and why you, once again, feel compelled to be rude to me.

//You have no interest in Christianity, so don't post me about your idle curiosity. //

You keep asking questions about it and therefore inviting everyone's idle curiosity. Maybe not on this thread, but you've started a load of others. Perhaps if you didn't do that, people wouldn't comment.

[naomi24]

I would just say that my curiosity isn't idle. It's perfectly serious, Theland.

Read the posts from 18:40 on.

[Theland]

You want to know what I believe?
You already know.

[tomus42]

Yeah, the usual. Naomi says something and then andy-hughes jumps in to start an argument with her that goes on all night, interspersed with other people occasionally addressing the question. So?

[andy-hughes]

Tomus, it takes two to make an argument, and I never 'jump in' as you put it.

[tomus42]

Yeah you do. You jump in at every opportunity. It's boring for the rest of us, and you never come out of it looking good by the way.

Theland, I didn’t ask what you believe - I asked you to explain the difference between the ludicrous beliefs of Hinduism
and the ludicrous beliefs of Christianity.
Why is one set of ludicrous beliefs
acceptable and the
other not?

[Theland]

Naomi, Respectfully, (and apologies if you think I have not been), I believe the bible not the Hindu writings.
Also, Ravi Zacharias born a Hindu in Chennai, was well versed in Hinduism.
Became a Christian aged 17 and preached Christ for over 50 years.
If there was anything in Hinduism, he would never have left.
Would he?

[Theland]

You call them ludicrous beliefs, and other atheists agree with you, but what is more ludicrous than your naturalistic materialistic worldview?
Something from nothing?
Abiogenesis?
Macro evolution?
Don't read / research only those sources that fortify your worldview, but be more open minded and look at the alternatives.
Nailit is forever posting me lists of gods in his pursuit of attacking my beliefs, yet not once has he ever suggested any answers, or directed me towards any.
I do hope with your reading and research background you will pursue the truth wherever it leads, and the destination may surprise you.

[Theland]

By the way, wine and wafer into blood and flesh is a roman catholic belief, transubstantiation, not a Christian belief.

[Theland]

Tomus - If I and others on here are boring you, then accept my sincere apologies, and may I suggest that as an antidote to your suffering, you go to the gardening section and discuss growing mushrooms, which would thrive on your output.

//I believe the bible not the Hindu writings.//

Does that mean that your beliefs are based upon which book you read first?

[Theland]

No the true one.

[naomi24]

Theland, Ravi Zacharias wasn’t born Hindu - he was born to an Anglican family.

//You call them ludicrous beliefs, and other atheists agree with you..//

That doesn’t answer the question. What isn’t ludicrous about corpses rising from their graves and roaming around a city - a star being capable of highlighting one specific place on the planet, or a man being capable of walking on water, returning from the dead and meeting and talking with long-dead prophets - and why is any of that more rational than the beliefs of Hindus?

// but what is more ludicrous than your naturalistic materialistic worldview?//

Making up answers and attributing the unknown to the unknown as you do.

//By the way, wine and wafer into blood and flesh is a roman catholic belief, transubstantiation, not a Christian belief.//

Don’t be ridiculous, Theland. Without Catholicism no alternative version of Christianity would ever have existed - including yours. You, like Goodlife, insult millions when you arrogantly claim to be ‘true’ Christians - as you do - and the most ludicrous thing of all is that you and he disagree! You’re both ‘true’ Christians but logic dictates that you can’t both be right. The whole thing is ludicrous.

[Theland]

Ravi was born into Hindu society. I'm corrected there.
But at that, you have the last word.
I know it makes you happy. Ludicrously so.

[Theland]

Just read your!last post again.
You are over confident in your so called facts which are wrong.
But enjoy yourself.

[naomi24]

There you go again, Theland. Are you incapable of taking part in a discussion without making it personal?

//Just read your!last post again.

Which so-called facts are wrong?
