Mark Driscoll v. Twilight

Sorry for the crappy quality. I'd redo it, but I'm far too lazy. Oh, if you decide you want to slander Christianity and Jesus that's fine, but for everyone's reading sanity please present an actual argument. No one cares about your personal vendetta against God.

I appreciate the comments. But I get the feeling the gentleman who was roundly embarrased here was the impetus. If that was your intention, rest assured his place as the defeated in the 'debate' is secure. The biggest problem is that emotion betrays your intellectual honesty. In earnest, you're all aware that you believe in something that is by definition, implausible at best, and scientifically impossible at worst. Make amends with that, before claiming generalities of faith, as your evidences.

listen close to dupes like driscoll to know what their real issue is with pop culture phenomenons like twilight: they dont care about the beliefs it promotes. they only worry that it might direct young impressionable minds away from the christian church. and if they stray away from the church they may become non believers as adults. and if that happens, they wont be dropping bills into the church collection plates. its not about morals and values. its about losing power, influence and money.

This pastor is standing in front of a background that says, "Luke's Gospel: Investigating The Man Who is God"

Does that bother anyone else?

@marks661man It's like you said~ Bullshit is bullshit. Christians know in their hearts, they believe in complete bullshit. But once you've invested so much time, energy and pride into believing something that so nonsensical, you cant even spend ONE SECOND entertaining opposing views. You have to SQUASH THEM. And you have to do it fast. Which is no different from the ignorant 33LP records of bad Baptist preachers my parents used to listen to. All BS, brimstone and fear, no substance whatsoever.

ur reading 2much into their psychology. B.S is B.S, no matter how u spin it. ive talked w/progressive christians who admit they do accept the msg of christ &take him as their savior. but they cannot abide by historicity of OT/KJB as it simply cannot be taken literally. &that even w/its incongruencies &deference 2science, the foundations of their faith are not shaken. imo, thats a much more honest &evolved method of faith. soapbox literalists like MD r basically dooming the church w/their folly.

@marks661man @MissMetalMelissa Ur both proceeding from the premise that religious types bullshit about paranormal events they may have witnessed to help bolster the credibility of their faith. After the exchanges Ive had here, Im starting to think that most of these ppl are latently unaware of their dishonesty. Theyve already made big leap of faith in buying creationism, Babel, Noah, etc. Now the prescient task is cementing around it with pseudo-science and semantics, as to wall out any dissent.

@MissMetalMelissa LMAO

well>>> hey those are valid questions i think, in light of the claims hes making. i dont think im being unfair. in other news~ a man in Oklahoma who was awarded a free birthday meal from Dennys, now has iron clad proof that the diety of 'Moons Over My Hammy' is a real entity. he has gathered devoted followers who will worship MOMH accordingly. ha.

@marks661man How DARE you ask such rational, detective style questions and harrang that poor god fearing man? DONT YOU KNOW? He saw DEMONS and WITCHES in Africa!! Just like Max Von Sydow in 'Excorcist II'!! He did RESEARCH!!This man has clearly been touched by the power of GOD and youre a right jerk for applying skepticism to his unbelievable claims! *lol rolling eyes*

[marks661man]

@XiphoidWielder Grand claims require grand evidence, What supernatural events did you see, that proved to you beyond a reasonable doubt, that you witnessed demonic events? And what events did you witness as proof of their eradication? Bear in mind much of Africa was once ruled by Euros wielding simple guns. To a person, had any group of Africans had witchcraft at their disposal, certainly they could have kept manmade armaments at bey and slowed colonialism. And yet, they could not. Curious.Yes?
