quote: ORIGINAL: TNDommeK I believe in God because I....feel Him, in a sense. I see Him in so many things because my eyes are open to Him. I have faith that things are planned. There are so many things in life that I see or that happen to me, that have to be bc of Him. One or two things may be coincidence. But the amount of blessings, protection, love, grace etc I have witnessed is not by chance. I have a relationship with God. I talk and there are times, in His way, He answers back. We as humans don't know as much as we think. In saying that, there are far too many wonders in life to have a close mind to the possibility. Therefore, I have faith. I do believe in science. I believe He gave us the power and knowledge to explore, and experiment. But ultimately, I believe He is first and last. I'm with TN. I believe in God. I am blessed that I was raised in a family that believes. I am most thankful for my faith in God. My faith helps me get through really difficult moments. My faith helps me to persevere. And when I step outside and take in the beauty of the world I feel God all around me.

So if several people get hit by several cars in rhythm we could have a new wave hit sound? Make millions?

quote: ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 There is no such thing as a "christian" atheist. By definition, an atheist shuns the idea that there is a god or deity of any sort. They may follow the idea of being a good and honest person but that doesn't make them a 'christian'. Meh, I think you'll find that there are quite a few christian antheists.

quote: ORIGINAL: Rule quote: ORIGINAL: crazyml You didn't make it clear that it's a non-dissipating system so now you seek to say that it's not actually a drum you're applying your laws of physics to, but a magickal imaginary drum. The fact escaped you because you were not paying attention. Toys and I were discussing the unmoving mover and I had asserted that all movement is an illusion. I'm confident that I am paying at least as much attention to this thread, as you are to the laws of physics, if not considerably more. ;-)

Christian in deeds and motives maybe. But by definition, if they are atheists, then they are not 'christian' because they do not believe in christ. That's one of the main things that define a 'christian' - a belief in the almighty, son of god etc. If you believe in those things, then you aren't an atheist. The two are mutually exclusive terminologies.

The two are mutually exclusive terminologies. I take your point, the terminology does feel a little odd. But there's an identifiable group of people, holding a set of shared beliefs that describe themselves as christian atheists. I think that their argument is that you do not have to believe in god to believe in the teachings of the chap everyone refers to as Christ. They are essentially non god believing followers of the teachings of Jeaus.

They have no real or truly grounded structured base to expand from thanks to our wonderful government school,,,,,erg sorry....indoctrination centers that are teaching them the state sanctioned religion, secular humanist atheism. quote: ORIGINAL: crazyml quote: ORIGINAL: Real0ne on what "moral" grounds does an atheist stand?

So.... which bit of "*christ*ian" don't you understand?? That's where the term 'christian' came from! [:D] So you can't be a christian atheist. You either subscribe to the christian ethos, or you deny it. It really is as black and white as that. If you follow the teachings of christ, then you cannot be an atheist - at least by definition of what an atheist is. But that doesn't necessarily preclude that you also shun the idea of being a good and kind person etc. ETA: The term 'christian atheist' is an oxymoron.

which part?

vincentML -> RE: Why do you believe? (6/23/2013 1:53:22 PM)
