Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

Pierson I think I provided the quotes to behe, and you can't say that he didn't pass muster because they are peer reviewed. Once you understand that macroevolution is an impossibility you start to wonder how in the world could these KINDS of animals just pop up fully formed. Macroevolution is a fai...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

...exactly because of this. That child came to be because of governance and control of someone's bodies - the mother's and the father's, more precisely. They knew the potential consequences of unprotected sex - yet they still did it. And so, once the mother got pregnant, she starts to appeal to &qu...

Re: Check this anti-abortion site out.

Now my questions, as directed to Pierson were: " if a mother does not have either (was raped or has a life threatening situation), then [do you believe] laws should be changed to make abortion wrong based simply on the mother's whim or desire? If you still believe that a mother should be able ...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

peirson im sorry to tell you that making an assertion without reading the critques (like u did with the shroud of turin) really sets you back in a true quest for the truth. Here we go again with the talk origin links again which are hardely a scientifically unbiased site are they? ‘The extreme rari...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

Again peirson your assuming we must come to him through pascals wager. I just finished saying what my bible study teacher told us, that attrition leads one to contrition. With some people this is the only thing that catches their attention when they just pass off their spiritual journey that they s...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

Again pierson scientific findings are subject to the interpretations and the worldview of the scientists who are interpreting the data. We have seen this many times, and I saw it when you didn't bother to respond to my assertion that macroevolution is a fairy tale and not real science. It is induct...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

Pierson, science can tell the how but it cannot tell the why, it was never intended for that, especially the methodologically materialistic worldview that currently infests science. It is also dominated by how a scientist interprets the evidence and that most of the time is far from objective. Macr...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

... I disagree that death would rob the meaning of life. The fact that I exist at all is miraculous... You desire God to prove to you a miracle and yet set before you is your miracle you seek... Miracles do exist – you are here. Look in the mirror. Then your own self robs you of this miracle… How w...

Pierson, would you respond the same to so-called "after birth abortions"? http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/life/philosophers-claim-over-moral-right-to-kill-newborns-sparks-outrage-20120301-1u61l.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/9113394/Killing-babies-no-different-from-abor...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

Come now, I covered this in my post to you. Why would you get mad at someone who says life has no meaning? (let me get a little absurd for a moment) On what grounds do you get mad? After all, if meaning is subjective then who are you to impose your thought that life can have meaning? Isn't it one's...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

In response to your question: "I do have a question though. Why did God see the need to reveal himself to you and other non-believers and not me? " Simply, it wasn't ME that was the deciding factor. All that I know for certain is that God's response to prayer played a role as well as his ...

Re: Atheist: "Do I take my child to church?"

... The way I see it, there are 2 possibilities. 1). You have a true, saving faith in Jesus Christ. You have the indwelling Holy Spirit of God inside you, sealing your salvation in Christ for eternity. You drifted away from God, and He is calling you back to His loving arms. Or 2). You never had a ...
