When they do that, they put their hands up.

Apparently, they believe their prayer and worship works better when they put their hands up.

#24 3D,
Right, you have been indoctrinated by evolution.

What? Who mentioned evolution besides you?

You do not surprise me at all by your responses in fact, Scripture implies we are to expect them. Your example is weak and essentially meaningless, argumentatively speaking, when you consider Jephthah eventually suffered dearly for his rash vow(if you take it at face value).

That would be great if the story ended there (for the Jews it does, and their interpretation of it is basically what you say above — a nasty story about a nasty man who let his overzealous faith in God lead him to terrible violent acts, and misery).

But the problem for Christians is, the New Testament mentions Jephthah again, with glowing praise, mentioning him alongside King David, Samuel, Gideon, and Samson ad a “man of faith” (Hebrews 11). Why would the New Testament hold Jephthah up with such high regard if, as you claim, we’re supposed to read his story and learn what a terrible thing he did and how he suffered for it?

(Of course David, Samson and pretty much every “hero” that the Bible or Jesus mentions, also did monstrously terrible things, even worse than Jephthah, but that’s a separate argument.)

He did twist my words. Neither I ever told that I do not believe in a specific god, as he “cites” me (fakes me), nor I ever told that “I believe *there is no god*”

I told I did not believe in ANY god, and I did not believe there is god, which is, you must admit VERY different of what he claims I said.
Obvious making of “logical construction” on wrong (faked) premisses.

Buy glasses and read my comment #9.
But, I think that you need “mental” glasess, because all of you see only something you like to see.

We can not argue about who said what, when it is black on white visible here.

If I was unpolite, I would call it lying, but I am a fine and polite “little buddy” (in age of 68).

Little buddy he didn’t twist your words – I don’t think Dimms was speaking to you. He addressed this site in general. He is 100% correct.

You confuse “faith” with “knowing”.
I never believed Einstein was right by having “faith” in him and his theories.
Unlike you (and all religions, ever), he brought evidences for what he done, AND his theories WORK in practice!
I UNDERSTOOD what he said, I could prove it, if I wanted, by recalculating his theories myself, and his theories WORK IN PACTICE.

I can not understand gods and no one ever brought evidences any god eaxists.

“Knowing” is a “fluid” process. “Knowledge” changes as people learn more and more.
Gods never change or – oops! – do they? (Ra, Zeus, Allah, many Christian gods…)

I JUST DO NOT BELIEVE in something, the same way and “mechanism” (“cognitive process”!) you disbelieve something!. As simple as that!

If you want me to start believing something that YOU claim right, please provide some evidences for it.
I am waiting.

A rave? Kids on X?

Dimms did an superb job in refuting the illogical and unsupported positions of the site and atheism in general but it sailed right over you head. Not meant to be an insult but rather you need some training in logic. You just don’t follow the line of reasoning.

I wonder if you realize just how much science you believe by faith.

Right, you have been indoctrinated by evolution. You do not surprise me at all by your responses in fact, Scripture implies we are to expect them. Your example is weak and essentially meaningless, argumentatively speaking, when you consider Jephthah eventually suffered dearly for his rash vow(if you take it at face value). This argument has nothing to do with your initial claims of the Sabbath law or any relevance to any thought processes.
