Very true!
Yeah, good example, mermaids, bigfoot, ancient aliens, constant paranormal shows.. the History Channel is a terrible source for real historical information. I think about 4 or 5 years ago they realized their ratings were trailing and so they switched to a more entertainment style model instead of an accurate historical one. If you take a look at the ratings, it's definitely seemed to work..Didn't they also do something with mermaids? Or was that discovery? Idk at this point.
If that was the case, why should anyone be worried about sinning?
Its not, you have to have greed in order to become rich.
That's where it gets confusing. Its my understanding of how its written. But I wouldn't think that it would apply to murder.
Tell that to the judge.

Unfortunately I have not. The idea that you can do what you want and accept Christ near the end doesn't sit well with atheist or theists alike. There has to be some value derived from not committing sins during your life and following the teachings of Christ from the moment you understood them, otherwise it seems like empty words. Imagine I as your father, told you not to hit girls as a child. You don't follow my advice and treat them the same as you would a male friend of yours. Why would I commend you for your actions, even if you were "sorry" afterwards? It just never made much sense to me..
I have no doubt in my mind that our ancestors were intelligent. We wouldn't be where we are without them... It's a whole bunch of never ending stepping stones.
I'm sure we have our theories but they build these things thousands of years ago.
This is the reason why I usually stay away from conversations like this, because I base what I study and learn on logic and the bible isn't very logical to me.
I'm not sure what you mean by "dismiss these facts". Our society is built upon ancient wisdom, as SGT just said, it's all stepping stones, the ancients were near the beginning of human society, so naturally we'd have improved and expanded on those ideas today. Having said that, it would seem like we've wholeheartedly accepted these facts.
The bible was written as part of history back then.This is the reason why I usually stay away from conversations like this, because I base what I study and learn on logic and the bible isn't very logical to me.
Apparently we are unable to learn what is right and wrong without the bible.
Do you accept the Bible as truth? Are you a Christian?This is the reason why I usually stay away from conversations like this, because I base what I study and learn on logic and the bible isn't very logical to me.
Apparently we are unable to learn what is right and wrong without the bible.
In other words the bible was created to control man.
No I do not. I accept the bible as a contradiction and another way to control people.
I think it was meant to control man 2000 years ago.
So far, you have not given any evidence that what you say is true. Your refusal to do so implies there is none and reflects on your credibility. You do have a credibility issue.
