A lot of it is misinterpreting valid evidence. Some of it is from a way of thinking that logically follows if atheism is true. Some of it is misunderstanding Christianity.HelpMeGod wrote:My question is, WHERE do the secularists get their information to "disprove" Christianity?
In some cases, it probably is.HelpMeGod wrote:Is it from other secular freethinkers that make something up to sound true.
However, I will say that it seems many of them have been genuinely deceived and do believe what they claim to believe.
Right, or you can misconstrue truth to get bad conclusions. Both can happen.HelpMeGod wrote:I mean, you can inject what appears to be truth into lies.
A lot of the boards, it seems that both sides have effectively decimated a position that the other doesn't hold. However, I have seen stronger evidence for Christianity.HelpMeGod wrote:So what is the total deal with all this atheist ****. I have been on some boards, atheists think they are winning the debate, then the Christian folk think they are winning the debate, who is right?
That is good positive evidence, although not proof.HelpMeGod wrote:We all know Anthony Flew, that should be a good boost to show that there is a God.
Actually, nearly all of their claims in that section have been refuted by J.P. Holding at Tektonics. From what I see, that stuff does look pretty weak.HelpMeGod wrote:I look at - http://www.atheists.org/christianity/ - and I start to doubt. Are these atheists taking doubt out of their information to make it stand out as fact?
That can happen. Doubt even sets in at times for me. However, I do suggest that you also look at Christian apologetics site and limit the frequency with which you visit atheist sites.HelpMeGod wrote:Also, as a note, if you are a Christian who has a weak mind and frequent atheist websites, it poisons the mind and doubt heavily sets in,
Probably good advice.HelpMeGod wrote:don't do it unless you're strong in your faith.
This is what most atheists would claim. They like to use "subconscious of the gaps" reasoning.HelpMeGod wrote:I know this sounds crazy, but I am even starting to doubt that the dreams I had were from God, but rather sub-concious generated chance.
However, experience is the best we have to go on. I think it is really more reasonable to attribute the experiences to God.
Take some time to look at Tektonics and other sites like that as well.HelpMeGod wrote:I have been frequenting atheist websites a lot lately because I have the hugest grudge against them.
And I think the proper motive to look at atheist sites should be to understand where they are coming from so that you can evangelize and debate more effectively. Not due to grudges.
