From whence comes humanity's universal moral sense?
If man is nothing but the random arrangement of molecules, what motivates you to care and to live honorably in the world?
How do you explain the radically changed lives of so many Christian believers down through history?
What do you say about the hundreds of scholarly books that carefully document the veracity and reliability of the Bible?
How did 35-40 men, spanning 1500 years and living on three separate continents, ever manage to author one unified message, i.e. the Bible?
Are you aware that every alleged Bible contradiction has been answered in an intelligible and credible manner?

Like you'd ever use the word 'whence'! I've said this before and I'll say it again:
😴 Blah 😴 blah 😴 blah 😴 POST 😴 SOMETHING 😴 ORIGINAL 😴 YOU 😴 CAN 😴 ACTUALLY 😴 UNDERSTAND! 😴

Wow, that's a nice tactic. Putting smiley faces and caps when you can't answer the questions.
We should take note of that, Brothers. When atheists ask a difficult question, just do a smiley face or two and I'll rec you.
As much as I disagree with your beliefs, at least you seem to be speaking your mind which I do respect. I think dj2becker should just speak from what he believes as oppose to what he finds on the internet.

Dunno. That's why I'm agnostic.

My family, friends, and other individuals in my life who have directly influenced me. Only a small number of these claim to be Christian.
How do you explain the radically changed lives of so many Christian believers down through history?
Ummm I have not experienced this myself because I think many people lives have changed for various reasons (some religious conversion, tragedy, could be anything). While I won't argue that Christianity has made some folks lives better, I think there are a great many things outside of Christianity that have also enhanced a person's life.
What do you say about the hundreds of scholarly books that carefully document the veracity and reliability of the Bible?
Nothing because I don't believe them.
How did 35-40 men, spanning 1500 years and living on three separate continents, ever manage to author one unified message, i.e. the Bible?
Well that is what is believed to have happened. While I cannot disprove it, I personally don't believe this to be the case.
Are you aware that every alleged Bible contradiction has been answered in an intelligible and credible manner?
By whom? Again I think that is a matter of opinion but I cannot also, nor am I trying to, disprove it.
Originally posted by DarfiusI have said many times before, that I am absolutely willing to discuss with dj2becker anything he wants to, if only he would post something that was not plagarized. If you stopped being churlish and took the view that perhaps this has nothing to do with whether I am an atheist or he is a christian, and instead everything to do with the fact that dj2becker never posts his own thoughts, you might realise that I was not after recs at all. This forum is for debate, not a posterboard for other peoples work to be plagarized and posted here.
Wow, that's a nice tactic. Putting smiley faces and caps when you can't answer the questions.

Originally posted by Joe FistMr. Becker should at least cite where he copied the material from. It may not be a biblical sin, but plaigairism is still a serious offence.
Fair enough. I think the reason all of react this way though is because it seems to be dj2becker's method to paste constantly without thought. If he does feel the way his posts reflects, is he unable to articulate it?
I think if Mr. Becker wanted to debate his personal opinions and views, he would not need to copy and paste selections from Billy Graham's or from Kirk Cameron's website in order to do so.
