RE: Christian and Atheist discussion: Faith is a gift? Hell. Belief. Philosophy. Mythology. Truth.
Good post. Great debate.
I especially like the “faith is a gift” argument. I agree. Most of this post was like I was reading my own thoughts (except with better grammar and vocabulary) LoL.
I 100% agree with what you said here too
“I don't think we are able to access an absolute truth. I'm not even convinced it exists. That's why it's important to check our facts, continue reading, find new sources, keep an open mind.”
I’m an Athiest, but I’m open-minded to the idea of others faiths. My moms a Christian, Dad believes in Budism, and my in-laws are Sikh.
Thanks Poyim. I'm pretty sure I should go in and edit out my mistakes though hahah :D
That's great that you've got a mix of religions surrounding you. You'll understand, better than most, Out of all of the religions, I like Buddhism in so far as it's got no gods. I tuned out when they started on about reincarnation though :P
Yeah, it’s cool. I believe that everyone should be able to believe whatever they want and not try to shove that belief down someone else’s throat. So not cool.
Religions are all well told stories to me. Very interesting stories that some people take a little too literally.
Yes, I agree with that too. Beliefs should be a personal matter.
Yeah, some great stories mixed with a bit of philosophy, incest, rape, murder, genocide, torture... Great for kids :P
Meh. You gotta please the masses, just like Hollywood.
I think all kids should be exposed to all religions or none at all, so that they can choose for themselves at a proper age. Otherwise, it’s also known as “brainwashing”.
:P
Amen to that :)
Absolute truth is everywhere. It's in science and mathematics. Unfortunately the average Christian is often unable to offer clear, compelling reasons for their faith in God and how that faith has changed their life.
A good book to read on Christianity is "Evidence That Demands A Verdict" by Josh McDowell. You can buy it cheap on Amazon as a used book.
A good website for the honest skeptic is:

I wouldn't expect anybody to believe without evidence.
No need. I’m sure all the evidence just points to your “truth”.
And I don’t need faith to change my life. I change my life — if I choose to.
LOL 😂
