All atheists have been asking that Christians provide evidence that god exists. For a LONG time. So far, not a single Christian has been able to even come close. Atheists live by the scientific principal so the burden of proof is on you. I'm very interested in this proof you suggest exists. I'm all ears.

[ThePariahGame]

" no one can give you proof on either side, so it's a completely fruitless debate"

Atheists don't need proof. We're not the ones making a claim. All the "debate" has been about is the so called "evidence" creationists use to justify their claim.

Okay Tracie, so you're having a difficult time understanding why Lot 'offers' his daughters. He's making a strong point concerning the men who are angels sent to destroy the two cities. Lot is saying he would offer his daughters rather than entertain the 'thought', but not that he was literally going to ''give his girls away to the mob"(prefering men). Like Matt says, 'how can a righteous man think of an such act'? By the way, "righteous people fear offending God'' then and now.

1: Science pretty much explains the sky, clouds, and all the plants and animals. By saying that tired old line you lose by default. You made no effort to grasp what you're denouncing so you have no relvant opinion on the matter of science.

2:Threatening people who have not been presented with any real evidence of a creator further justifies the athiest position. You are an immoral sack of shit.

@GFunkMachine Actually,. under scarce food supply, it is justified. Also, you know this, but just in case, the bible doesn't condone murder either.

[ibsd]

@GFunkMachine Random bit: Slavery is a sometimes necessary economic system. It is not equivalent to murder at all.

@GFunkMachine Dam I wish I had done that at 14. I went through a brief period where I did not know what to believe, I had been told that Darwinism was not accurate, of course that part is partially true, what they don't tell you in church is that Darwinism was just the starting point and we have learned so much sense then. I believe we should all be good and Moral people to make a society work, and we should live life to the fullest as it is the only one we will ever get. Cause later worm feast

@Matthew23and9 You are missing the point, we can not prove that god does not exist, but weather you believe it or not they have proved the universe is billions of years old, not 6000 as the bible suggests. They have proven evolution through peer tested review. And Archaeology has proven that except for a few major historical figures and places that really existed the bible is mostly untrue. We are just saying it makes sense to believe in what we can see, touch and feel and not an invisible god

[azzy314159]

Tracie you are the star of this show. It is a pleasure to listen to you. And to top it off you are the most gorgeous woman I have ever met, in the flesh or on the screen. If I was a theist I would say God Bless You baby. So I will restrict myself to saying. May the Spaghetti Monster and the Pink Unicorn give you more knowledge and Beauty and Power to Debate. Amen.

"In verses 30 to 38, the second story describes how Lot's two daughters got their father drunk on wine, engaged in sexual intercourse with him on two successive nights, became pregnant, and eventually gave birth to two sons Moab and Benammi."

Well i can understand being drunk the first night and it happend somehow....but theres no excuse for doing it again the very next day...lol looked like lot liked to fuck his daughters, some righteous man lol

@Matthew23and9

why would you(or anyone else) believe the bible came from god?

the bible came from a group of primitive middle eastern savages

[robtay1963]

@Matthew23and9 I have and that is why I am an atheist, well that and because once I saw how sick the bible is and how evil God is I started studying science and found I had been lied to by christians about true science.... Funny the king james version is so full of violence in the name of God he makes the terrorists of today seem downright nice....To clear this up I am an Atheist , I do not believe in any God and using a book written before the dawn of science wont convince me.
