RoS I forgot to mention most of these type debates atheist love to keep Christians on the defensive. They will make outlandish comments and to keep busy Christians defending against them. He made a blanket statement that the Bible says the world is flat and wants you to waste time energy searching for a rebuttal rather than a being able to show the weaknesses of his argument. Turn the tables tell him to show where the Bible says the world is flat. Another great argument atheists love to bring forward is war, they first thing out of their mouths is nearly every war was fought in the name of Christianity. While this accusation is patently false it hard to argue against since most war was good versus evil thus Christianity can be seen as the line in sand. Instead of playing into his hand so to speak. Ask him how many hospitals, colleges, institutions of higher learning (nearly all were started by Christian organizations) were started by atheist. Ask him to show you one attempt by atheist to relieve the plight of man either through charity (most if not all were Christian in origin or are based on Christian principles), orphanages, medical relief organizations (again most if not all have Christian origins or are based on Christian principles). Atheist love to attack missionary efforts and how the missionaries brought disease and immorality to innocent cultures. Ask him to show you a country that was exposed to Christianity that did not have a decrease in illiteracy, a decrease in deaths at child birth, increased medical care and increase in the general standard of living. Atheist love to attack Christians by saying we force our morality on them. Ask him which law he would like to see repealed. Drug laws? So we can be a nation in a stupor seeking only to serve ourselves rather than those around us. Prostitution laws so we openly allow women to be demeaned by men. We can so remove self worth to the point we place a low dollar value on our own body and sell it openly to be used by anyone with the money. Or maybe the pornography laws so we can desensitize our youth to the point that nothing is special, the opposite sex is nothing more than something to lusted after. Besides it will be good future employment for his daughter. You will be surprised how many people will argue for prostitution and pornography but will grow pale when you suggest it as a career of choice to their son or daughter. Turn the tables on the atheist ask them to show one historical contribution their philosophy has made to the betterment of man. Instead of defending Christianity against their challenges make them defend their way of life against the welfare of society. EdB |

Thanks again brother EdB. I've run into many of them, for years; and long ago learned how not to get buried. I've limited the debate we'll have to ten points which concern this young man's belief that the bible has inconsisentcies with the science he believes to be factual. I refuse to be buried under busy-ness that does not aid to save souls. I've run into Roman Catholics who'll do the same thing; these pharicees are the only group Jesus condemned. So I won't waste my time with them, either. Terrific web site you've got here. I'm so grateful to have found you. Merry Christmas, RoS |
