Theologically strong as in, confident in being delusional? You don’t think that the concept of hell is the most genius invention to control the sheep?

Not just Noah’s flood, but also verses that are used to counter LGBT or verses denoting that government is an institution of God (Romans 13:1). Slaveholders (who took many verses literally) used it to justify slavery. We don’t know with absolute certainty what the author meant. Anything the...

I don’t have an other faith. I’m just opposed to all religion ranging from Christianity all the way to Buddhism.

Fundamentalists could be wrong in taking the Bible too literally. Perhaps the Bible is not meant to be taken literally. Jesus after all used many parables. If I spoke in parables, why would you ever take what I say literally? So as such, fundamentalism is a form of interpretation. They are not...

I’ve met non-Christians who are more Christian than Christians. How is that possible?

Perhaps it’s only a dumb a question because you are unable to answer it. It’s called the omnipotence paradox and it is not similar to your analogy of an athlete getting athlete’s foot. Can God create a rock he can’t lift? I thought he’s all-powerful. And if he is outside of space and time...

Christians act as if they are God. Because they pass off their interpretation of the Bible as absolute. They claim to be the morally superior ones just because they identify as Christian yet they contradict themselves when they say they are born in sin. If you’re born in sin, then stop acting...

Well quite frankly I would say that there’s people who are followers of Jesus without knowing about Jesus. People that live a Christian life without identifying as one. Now I know fundamentalists love cherry picking Bible verses to say differently such as “I am the way and truth and the life”...

What counts as being a follower of Jesus? You tell me, with the authority of God what counts as being a follower and what doesn’t.

I just find it hilarious that Christians blame the Bible or God for their own interpretation. Anytime a Christian quotes the Bible, they are telling you what the Bible says, they are sharing their interpretation. Fundamentalism is a form of interpretation. Therefore no Christian understands...

Human beings are not God in order to decide what is true and what isn’t. If that is the case, then Christians wouldn’t be going around saying “Only God knows.” You’re either born in sin or aren’t. You can’t have it both ways

Can God also create a rock he cannot lift?

What are you talking about? Are kids not taught that if they don’t follow Jesus and be a goody two-shoes Christian, that they will have to face eternal damnation?

And you’re not twisting scripture? How do we know you don’t twist scripture? And lush incest? The Bible is literally filled with incest and rape. Adam and Eve had 3 sons. Did the sons have sex with Eve? If they had sisters, did they have sex with their sisters then?

‘Biblical worldview’ in what sense? Do I agree with Jesus’ teaching about loving thy neighbor? Yes. Do I agree that people lived for hundreds of years and in Noah’s Ark? No.

But if you’re born in sin, how can you be sure of anything? You’re broken by default.

Do you seriously expect any atheist to agree that a Christian is using the Bible correctly? Christians can’t even get on the same page about the Bible given their hundreds of denominations. Oh and, Christians are also born in sin. So they too won’t know any better. Yes I’ve read the Bible...

What makes you think your worldview is biblical? You’re just a small sinner in need of forgiveness. Nothing more

I agree. We should allow the Christians who are born in sin to define what Christianity is all about because their word is the word of God. Correct?

So you get to decide who is misusing the Bible and who isn’t? Sounds like you’re taking on the authority of God here. “The Bible tells us how.” But…you’re the one reading it and telling me your -interpretation-of what the Bible is saying.
