Argument between friends.
Posted: Tue Nov 13, 2007 4:08 pm
Just something that I thought I'd share.
I haven't posted in a while, due to the fact that life's been hard and I needed to focus more on it. But I'm back for now!
I've been debating with my friend, Mike, He happens to be an atheist. He brought up several good points regarding my religion, and several famous atheists. I have some decent rebuttal for his accusations, and I'd like some of you to help me critique them.
Point 1.Darwin believed in God for a large chunk of his life, he was a very intelligent man. He switched over to Atheism, due to the fact that when he created natural selection, he believe that science outweighed religion.
My Rebuttal: Darwin did believe in God for a large chunk of him life, and we was a very smart man. But Charles Darwin was NOT an atheist, we was agnostic. He did not create Natural Selection, that was Alfred Wallace, and he did not switch over to AGNOSTICISM due to his belief in Evolution, he switched because the death of his daughter.
Point 2:Hitler was a Christian, to be more correct, Catholic. He was largely influenced by his religion to due what he did. When he was going to Catholic school, there was a large Swastika hung on the entrance to the school.
<b>Rebuttal:</b>Hitler was not a Christian, whether you're saying it or not, if you do not practice what you preach, you're a lier. Furthermore, The Swastika is a 6000 year old symbol meaning "good luck". It's not inherently evil, so it meant nothing when it was used in Hitlers youth.
I have to get going to work, I'll post more of our argument, and more of my rebuttal, cya later.
