The truth is that the Bible is full of myth and fallacy. It CANNOT be believed. It's been debunked thoroughly and I find it silly that so many wish to debate it. Here we see that even those who call themselves Christian are debunking it.
So here's my question. Since the Bible has been so thoroughly been debunked, why do any of you need to continue holding on to your invisible friend as security blanket? Face it. There is no God. No miracles. You're alone to live your life as you choose and you will face the results of your choices making your life enjoyable or painful.
It's time to grow up people.
If the test of a Christian is HONESTY an honest person would tell the truth. The notion of "God" is something that mankind needed in it's infancy. We don't need religion or god today.
You know what would be ironic? Is if you were just another member here who is a Christian, here pretending to be an Atheist after claiming to be a believer...and talking about Christians being honest.

Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.

I have a 9 year old child in the other room who is living proof contradicting everything you said.
She's the one on the right side of my avatar. She was crippled on the right side of here body. She saw specialists at Cooks Children Fort Worth, later Children's Miracle Network in Dallas, and then Scottish Rite Children's Hospital. I was told she would never be like the other children, and told it would be best to keep her out of public school (by the doctors at Scottish Rite). Their plan was to do hip replacement and possible knee replacement surgery. I will spare many details here, as I have posted this on AFF before, but the end result was God healed her in December 2004, (there never was a surgery, and we never went bck to the childrens hospitals again) she has been healed, lives a normal childhood, and is playing softball for the first time this year.
God is good. Your doubt and blindness will cause you to miss the greatest blessings in life, as well as live a life that means nothing, for only in Christ is the meaning of life found.

True. I should have said, "Lose faith in and of God." Every person has faith...it takes faith to believe what you believe, so you're correct!
NOW are you closet UR?

I tend to be skeptical because he is so abrasive. Either way, whether he is an athiest or an alter ego, doesn't change what God's done in my life.
