Apologetics 301 Guidelines

If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you


This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

      Yeah!
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

                I'll keep that in mind. I have one son from Wichita Falls and one from Tyler, so Texas is at least partially in my family's blood. We don't get down that way often, but I sometimes have to teach in Baton Rogue - which is at least in the same time zone!

                  This is the dynamic I see so often from those most passionate about their beliefs, from the far right to the far left. If the goal is to convince and convey a message, the approach defeats the goal, IMO.
                  Not often to have someone, let alone atheist, say aggressive approach of mine is Christlike. Thank you!!!
                  Remember that you are dust and to dust you shall return.

                      Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

                            Ok - I just cannot resist. The teacher in me is exploding....

                            "Your" is the possessive form of "you." I believe you were looking for the contraction, "you're" - short for "you are."

                            Yes...

                            Yes...

                            He shoots - he scores... :swish:
