really I think that there are arguements and observations made every day that can undermine faith in almost anything. As a Christian I say it is a good thing to be challenged- without that how can you learn more and decide what you tuly believe? Anyone who has such a weak faith that they are fearful of challenges in their God needs those challenges to help them decide where they stand- i think

If someone would prove that E ≠ mc2, it would be a shock, and I would be in awe...

Thank you for the replies - especially those from the theists.

I now feel more comfortable posting certain arguments and observations knowing that I will not be breaking any rules or upsetting any feelings.

I don't expect to change any minds - which is not my purpose anyway - but I hope to have some good discussions and maybe even be taught a thing or two as well.

Suggested reading: Letter to a Christian Nation by Sam Harris Billions & Billions by Carl Sagan Fiasco byThomas Ricks The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins God is not Great Christopher Hitchins Towing Jehovah by James Morrow The End of Faith by Sam Harris Better yet Read the Bible THOUGHTFULLY, without the amens & the hallelujas

go ahead SmellingtheCoffee! You may not change my mind but im sure I will learn something, or a lot.

One thing I do respect a lot about the atheists on this forum is that most truly do know a LOT; about the Bible in particular- yes, more than some Christians I know. I think it is true that sometimes it is easy for a Christian to say "oh well I am a Christian, i know basically what the Bible says and I know what I am told at church so I dont need to spend time really reading the Bible or learning more"...
cheers

All Christians should read the koran, & all Muslims should read the bible. . Then each should their own dumb book. Then, hopefully each would be able to put behind them these absurd tribal gods created by our primitive ignorant ancesters.

If my beliefs are not correct, yes. It's more important to me to know the truth than to think I'm correct all the time.
