o its an opinion, I have to confess I chuckled , You don't want to debate me yet you contacted me on a Friday night? must have been a slow night for you. You must have done it after stomping on baby ducks in front of your children and telling them stories about how wonderful Joseph Stalin and Voltaire were. Your wife (if you have one, God help her is probably jealous of me )Then you tell me atheism isn't a choice . Why isn't it, l because there is no God all us theists are wasting our time? Do you think that if the Caesars couldn't dissuade us you can? You are one arrogant mofo. Then you talk to me of the Bible and its APPARENT contradictions . Got news for you my friend, secular history is LOADED with them. Should we stop believing that Davy Crockett was a real person because their are some contradicting facts in his story? And then there is Jesus . You make the assertion because there is only weak evidence ( your words not mine) that Jesus ever existed we should stop believing in HIM ? The emperor Hadrian believed in the myth sooooo much he went to great lengths to wipe out the memory of Jesus . He built 2 temples on sites that had NO previous religious significance than their connection with Jesus ( standard Roman practice was to build temples on previously sacred sites, not to just randomly select any old site and build a temple there. By the way I have yet to hear a satisfactory explanation of that.)Then there is this ,How do you account for the fact that of all the messianic leaders in Israel 2,000 some odd years after the fact we are still talking about this guy? I'm going to finish by telling you the story of Gamaliel . When the apostles were stirring up trouble and the Sanhedrin was at its wits end Gamaliel said not to interfere " If it is not of God it will soon pass away " I'm not saying you have to go out and get baptized , but who are you to decide for me what lies beyond this world, hell our own oceans aren't completely explored yet. Whadda ya say we keep an open mind till they are? Science is great, don't get me wrong, but there are some things it just doesn't cover . The answers on your spreadsheet are not the answers to everything.?
