    My friend, Christianity is rooted in history. Go ahead. Look at ALL the evidence. Try to prove it wrong. Others have. Have the intellectual curiosity and tenacity to follow the evidence where it leads.

    No. Christianity is rooted in history.

    I’d like to know which of my views you think are in contradiction with “well-established scientific facts” especially since my Ph.D. is in biology. And, to say that Christianity, rooted as it is in history, is “myths” is laughable says nothing about Christianity, but a lot about you.

    Except that’s not what it says or means… Man’s rebellion separates him from God who is angry at sin. Jesus’ entry into this world was for his sacrificial death for his people. THAT is the peace that men have with God when they agree with him about the reality of their condition. And they are to have peace with fellow believers. However, the world will hate them as the comments below will demonstrate.

    Nope. Only one can forgive our sin nature.

    Someone wrote, “Stopping the killing and rape of others, endangering yourself to warn your tribe of impending danger, equal sharing, protecting the weak and young, respecting your elders, and so forth are not limited to just humans. So where does this “objective morality” come from, if not social norms?”

    This person does not understand what I have written. In subjective morality, The subject determines if the action is morally correct or not. In objective morality, the action itself is right or wrong. This person has written about subjective morality and has mistakenly thought that they are objective. But they are not. And, as I started with, on atheism, there is not grounding for objective moral ethics. This person is just giving their “preference.” But these actions are not inherently wrong on atheism.

    “How is it not a philosophical argument?” You merely stated that you think that the attributes of God are not compatible. That’s not an argument.

    “Of course you wouldn’t want to admit to it, but what else have you got?” Richard, I used to be an atheist/agnostic. What do I have? I have what I have been trying to show you for a very long time. Philosophical reasoning, science (and with my PhD to know how science really works,) history/archaeology.

    “And what have you got to point to that justifies it? Those two disciples on the road to Emmaus, who had just spent three years in constant companionship with Jesus but didn’t really recognize him until after they’d parted company?” My word, Richard. Is this all you think is true of the case?

    “And why does the existence of Jesus have squat to do with the existence of God?” Richard, Jesus claimed unequivocably to be God. That’s what got him killed for Pete sake (and for the sake of the rest of his followers.)

    Hello, Richard,

    “But I just gave you one. Did you read it? Did you understand it? Can you find any fault with it?” Merely saying that God’s omni- attributes contradict is not a philosophical argument.

    “I don’t understand this thing, therefore God.” Sigh. Not what I wrote. Not what I believe.

    “Virtually all Jesus scholars, even agnostic/atheist ones, agree that Jesus died on a Roman cross…” “Not worth arguing over.” “and was seen later.” “Definitely worth arguing over.” This is the heart of Christianity. But of course, you have no interest in exploring the possibility that God could really exist. And you have no interest in see that Jesus rose from the dead, therefore validating his claims. It’s really sad. Well, my heart goes out to you. It’s rare to find someone who is as impervious to evidence as you are. So, go ahead and attack my character as you do in every post. Meanwhile, know that I’m praying for you
