Atheist Advocate (AA): "You believe the Bible because it tells you about God, and you believe in God because the Bible tells you so. That is called circular reasoning, and it is invalid reasoning."
Confused Christian (CC): "What should the role of the Bible be in a Christian’s life?"
Atheist Advocate (AA): "The bible is the work on man. Why do you believe the particular 39 books called the 'Old Testament' are the Word of God? The decisions about which ancient writings to include was entirely arbitrary and sometimes even whimsical."
Confused Christian (CC): "Why do I feel judged when I mention what are normal parts of popular culture everywhere else?"
Atheist Advocate (AA): "1 Sam 17 says that David killed Goliath but 2 Samuel 21:19 says, '… Elhanan the son of Jaare-oregim the Bethlehemite killed Goliath the Gittite.' How can you believe some book that contradicts itself like this?"
About
A practical forum to be challenged by skeptical arguments and practicing our responses to them. The purpose is to better understand what we believe and why we believe it by subjecting our ideas to be purified in the crucible of debate. If you get your feelings hurt easily this forum is not for you. If you would like to be tagged when I post challenges from skeptics let me know at https://usa.life/ThorCarden
