The idea that Christians are right on all things, and that any post asking them for proof of anything (this is NOT restricted to god) is absurd.

I agree, but I'm willing to play this out. If they really do go this route it will only bite them in the ass.

I suppose!

In any case, zone_chaos is an official jackass now. First he opens a thread to discuss the issue. Then I get threatened (by someone else) with banning for responding. Then he locks the thread, then reopens it to get the last word, then locks it again.

Wow, debating is easy with moderator privileges!

The whole "Mary" bit reminded me of a video I had to watch in religion class a year ago. It was a whole account of Mary's story. This bit got me:

Quote:

Narrator: "And thus the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and told her she was to bear the Lord's child."

Mary: "But, how can this be? I have not known a man!"

Gabriel: "The Holy Spirit will come upon you tonight."

Everyone was staring at me while I nearly pissed my pants laughing.

Uh, I think in the Koran it says that the Holy Spirit came to Mary in the form of a large man....makes a bit more sense.

"Oh the Virgin Mary, She's the Most, Cause She got Laid by the Holy Ghost, we're gonna Rock around the Cross tonight, We're gonna Rock Rock Rock till the Broad daylight, we're gonna rock rock rock around the Cross toniiiight!"

ZoneChaos is only being honest. He can't prove, in the scientific sense of the word, the existence of the god he worships. Having said that he goes on to witness and argue at too much length. But there's no reason to get sassy with him.

I personally find the sorry attempts of people who try to prove the existence of the Christian or any other god much more offensive than the honesty of those who admit they believe on faith alone.
