'You don't accept evolution either, Runner? Jesus Christ, no wonder the churches are empty, and you can't attract the young.'

you really are showing your ignorance Lego. I have met and fellowshipped with numerous believers from doctors to labourers who are at least smart enough to see that the great design of the universe demands a Designer. And no where, I go to church is far from empty. Those with faith in the evolution fantasy are accepting of blind faith. And by blaspheming the only One who can save you by no means strengthens your argument. The big bang and evolution are both fraudulent and pseudo science. You are obviously brainwashed.

To Runner.

Oh, everything needs a designer, does it? Who designed God?

Og Lego back to kindie

'Oh, everything needs a designer, does it? Who designed God?'

He obviously would not be God if He needed a designer. It is called faith just like your faith in something from nothing, order fromn chaos and laws from no Lawmaker. Next thing you will be telling me is that your belief is based on science. pss!

LEGO,

<<Since God told the Jews that homosexuality was wrong, and (to the best of my knowledge) Jesus said diddly squat about homosexuals, then non Jewish homosexuality could be OK with God.>>

You don't know your Bible. Jesus didn't have to mention a word about homosexuality as he set the norm of a sexual relationship between two people: 'A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one’ (Matt 19:5). Note: It doesn't say a man is joined with his homosexual partner.

What is the NT view of homosexuality? It is included among a number of sins that prevents a person from entering the kingdom of God. See: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Cor+6%3A9-11&version=NLT.

The topic of this thread is, ‘Intolerant Intolerance’. Are you open to acknowledging your intolerance towards Christians and Christianity?

I'm not too hopeful in seeing you as wanting to listen to the content of Scripture and interpret it in context, because of your anti-God presuppositions.

If God does not need a designer, runner, why would the universe need a designer?

See how easy it is to make fools of people with Absolutist personalities? You live by slogans that you never even think about.

Let's have some more fun.

Q. What was God doing before he created everything?
A. He wasn't doing anything, because there was nothing to do.

Q. What was he thinking?
A. He wasn't thinking anything, because there was nothing to think about.

Q. What was he saying?
A. He (she, it?) was not saying anything, because there was nothing to say.

Then God gets an idea. He is going to create everything. So he flys? around outer space at presumably warp speed, whacking great big lumps of nothing together to create thousands of billions of galaxies, each with thousands of billions of stars. Including black holes, super massive black holes(1,000,000 solar mass), neutron stars, red giants, red dwarfs, trillions upon trillions of planets, gazillions of comets, squillions of meteorites, as well as dark matter. And all for the benefit of the inhabitants of one tiny blue speck of a planet, one of eight orbiting a very insignificant yellow dwarf star, which is one of 200,000,000,000 stars in this insignificant and unremarkable spiral galaxy, who for most of their history did not even know that the rest of the universe even existed.

That makes sense.

runner,

<<Strange how Lego is probably one of the most rational posters on olo. It just shows that when someone becomes a Christophobe they really do become irrational.>>

This person appears to be rational in postings, but there are irrational statements made: e.g.

+ 'Oh, rubbish Ozspen'. That's an ad hominem logical fallacy, involving erroneous reasoning.

+ 'I didn't bother tossing your laughable "logic" about witches back in your face because it is pointless.'. That's an Appeal to Ridicule logical fallacy, again.

+ 'If you refuse to admit that any God who orders the genocide of men, women and children (even "their beasts of the field") is certainly not a God of love and compassion, then your critical analysis circuits are so out of whack that they are vestigial or non existent'

Again, it's an Appeal to Ridicule fallacy, with the added problem of lack of knowledge of why God wanted to keep His people right before Him. Amos 3:2 stated, 'From among all the families on the earth, I have been intimate with you [people of Israel] alone. That is why I must punish you for all your sins'.

+ 'You don't accept evolution either, Runner? Jesus Christ, no wonder the churches are empty, and you can't attract the young'.

This is a plainly false statement. Churches are emptying because of liberal theology. Many youth are in churches around the world, including in Australia. See: http://thewest.com.au/news/wa/churches-booming-as-young-embrace-spiritual-survival-ng-ya-174436.

+ 'Ozspen's implication that real witches do, or did, exist, would have them rolling in the aisles'. This is not factual as one would soon find by going to the Congo, New Guinea, Romania or in Australia where there are people who seek redemption from witchcraft.

As of today, I will no longer interact with him if he uses logical fallacies against me. They use logically unsound arguments that are deceptive in their presentation of information.

I find it impossible to engage in reasonable conversation with anyone who spins off into illogical thinking of logical fallacies that do not address the issue at hand in a rational way. See: http://www.logicallyfallacious.com/tools/lp/Bo/LogicalFallacies
