personally I would be ashamed that you tried to answer a question that was asked of me....with what you posted.....again where are the thousands???

I asked Sandorski to answer the question and provide proof that there are thousands. You provided what maybe at best a few hundred examples of people in one group....

Sandorski can do better than that....

Just admit that you have no desire to have this discussion. Because this childish attitude implies just that. But not just saying it is pathetic.

Childish attitude?? You answer my one question by posting a list of the 100o`s of groups that disagree with me and we can talk...until then I think your the one dodging this conversation.....

To what end? If anyone gives you that list... then what happens? You start to participate again?

We'll keep the ball, but you can go home, kid.

Are you denying that there are many, many different groups of Christians that interpret the bible differently?

The problem with all your questions is that they are just questions with no real understanding of the scriptures....of Grace...Law...Faith...etc according to what people consider to be God`s word and others do not......so why go there?

The Old Testament an The New Testament.......Law vs Grace so to speak...can they over lap....not for me to debate or argue with on a forum that is 90% Atheist.....


Ateism is evolving into a religion...fancy that....

That's not what was said...now you are trying to redefine his original question.......

I called him on it.....

To you I will say there are many Atheists who believe differently...

Take that as you will.....that is the way life is.......

How we deal with our differences is really what counts....

Nah, the real problem with my questions are that no matter what position you take millions of Christians will disagree with you. It doesn't take "understanding" of the scriptures to see the reality in front of my face.

No I am not. I believe at one point you said that English isn't your first language. Maybe that's the problem here.

I know the truth will hurt you but so be it -- the real problem with your questions are that no matter what position you take millions of Christians agree with me. It takes an "understanding" of the scriptures to see the reality in front your face!!

If you don`t understand you have a messed up reality!!

So do the millions of Christians that disagree with you just not understand scripture?

I tend to see it more like this:

Atheist Denominations

Secular Humanism
Skeptics Society
Atheist Alliance International

And what are the set of practices, rites and rituals of these "denominations?

Who is/are the deity or deities of these denominations?

Who are the clergy of these denominations?

What are the scriptures of these denominations?

What are the holy places of these denominations?


All of these questions and many others define a religion.

What one thinks or tends to think what constitutes or defines a religion is clouded by one's frame of reference;
biases, prejudices and the way our brains are hard-wired to work cloud our perception of reality and fact.

Just as theistic scientists must put their personal beliefs and worldview aside in order to properly do their research and work, so then must we all do likewise in order to better communicate and work though life's issues.
