No, I've always (as long as it counts) been an atheist ... I'm intrigued by the question though, what suggests I might previously have been a Christian?
Originally posted by RJHindsWell, then, YOU explain it. Remember, there was only a world wide flood on Earth in YOUR mythology. You can't pull the flood card for Mars.

It is just a hypothesis. That means it is a guess, pure speculation.[/b]
Originally posted by sonhouseI remember vaguely when I was really young of being terrified of such things my grandmother and mother believe{d,s} in and passed on to me - like hell, and prophecies that the world is going to end in a few years and stuff ... (I'd guess around 6 or 7).
As in a past life?π
Originally posted by AgergFunny, it's MY grandma that showed me the way out of religion. She pulled the hell card once too often, she was Pentacostal and my mother sent me to a Lutheran school and they baptize with a sprinkle of water on forehead but grandma insisted I would go to hell if I wasn't baptized in the Pentacostal total dunking way. About age 8. I did it to shut her up but it was then I saw quite clearly how screwed up organized religions are. Now I thank her for helping me see the lightπ

Originally posted by sonhouseSprinkling doesn't do it. Jesus wasn't just sprinkled. Listen to your grandma. She loved you and wanted you to be saved. That is why she warned you. Go get baptized right.

Originally posted by CalJustWhat do you expect from the deep conditioning, he sees what he wants to see in whatever he reads or hears. His deep seated cognitive dissonance makes him see only that which reaches through his deep programming. Unable to use his own brain because he fears death so his conditioning now makes him THINK he has no fear of death but it is still there close to the surface, it occludes his every thought, forcing him to deny the evidence for an old Earth right in front of his nose.
You're not listening.
He said : "I did it to shut her up..." so he WAS baptized in the "correct way".
Now what?
Originally posted by RJHindsIt wasn't a lie, I already said I did it to shut her up, make her happy, I didn't believe that BS when I was 8 and I don't believe it now, even more strongly than back in ancient times when I was 8.
He should have done it because he believed in Jesus as his Saviour and not just to shut someone up. That is being deceitful and is a lie.
Originally posted by sonhouseHowever, believing in Jesus and being baptized as He was will save your soul also. Then you will not have to worry about being in torment in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone.

But, back to the OP, you have no answer for why there would have been water millions and billions of years ago on Mars, there was no WW flood as you claim fo ...[text shortened]... er than go to a doctor who would have saved them:

Originally posted by RJHindsWell, since YOU said it, it MUST be true, but I am not afraid of any brimstone or hell or whatever man made fantasy since that is what it is, man made fantasy.

I already told you that God used the water to cool things down. π
Originally posted by sonhouseThe rational is that the layers can't be older than Mars and Mars can't be older than the heavens and the Earth, which is only about 6,000 years old. π
Well, since YOU said it, it MUST be true, but I am not afraid of any brimstone or hell or whatever man made fantasy since that is what it is, man made fantasy.
And, you still have no way to figure out how to rationalize the layers on the crater on Mars, how to make it be only 6000 years old, not going to happen. The layers took millions of years to make and there is no getting around that.
