This assumes that the bible must be 100% accurate in order for God to exist. No where in the bible does it say this. It is a collection of books written by authors inspired by the word of God, and giving their interpretation on it, based on the time and knowledge they pocessed for the time they lived in. Also how could it be 100% accurate when each version can be taken differently? Which one is the correct one.
so, you would admit that what the bible says could be wrong? if so then god doesn't need the bible and you don't need to be born again in christ, you can believe in god and not jesus and still go to heaven
i really don't think there is one, god is who decides not some book, maybe the bible writers - both OT and NT got them wrong - after all the book is by man thus faulty
i always thought it odd that people consider the book gods, and that he never changes anything yet he is allpowerful, i would think he could change his rules if he wanted, he did once according to the NT, why not again?

Re: Exact quote
Well the Catholics as a whole are not Christian, the inqusition may have expanded to include Muslims and Jews, but it was first directed at groups like the Donatists and the Albigenses, because they believed the bible and rejected infant baptism. The problem is there is no infant baptism in the Bible, (look for yourself) but they decided they should die, since they were "heretics".
the fact is you are making a judgement of someone elses beliefs that you have no right to do so. Being the largest sect of christianity gave the catholics the belief that they have the right to do this, but guess what every sect if they are in power would do this
Even athiest have said that if there was a God he wouldn't use "natural selection to create things". I would say that most people including evolutionists realize that it is a wastefull inefficient process. One evolutionist said:
oh so accepting evolution makes you a athiest then? tell that to the 50% of the people in the world who are religious and accept it, how do you know he is an athiest?
by the way nice quotemining
oh yes nice way to show your understanding of a theory, yes its all a thoerys fault that bad things happen, instead of blaming the real culprit greed and hate and human faults
instead of using evolution as a scapegoat how about reading about the subjects you are claiming evolution shouls be blamed for?

Re: Exact quote
If nobody judged anyone's beliefs then someone could believe it was okay to be a serial killer and nobody could condemn him after all who are we to judge his beliefs.
oh come now you can not compare a murder to a religious person, we are talking beliefs in god/s not actions, i think everyone can agree that murder is not a belief, unless you are clinicly insane
I especially have the right to judge Catholic beliefs because they say they believe the Bible and if I use the Bible to judge their beliefs it should be easy for them to show how I am wrong, but even if I give my own opinion that is something I have a right to do, unless you think people should be forced into what they believe.
they do believe the bible, they don't believe it like you do, calling them non-christians is based solely on your beliefs, which give you no authority to call them christian or not. I'm not even sure what you mean by force, force them into what?
Did I say accepting evolution makes you an athiest? I just said that even some Athiest believe if there was a God he wouldn't use something as Stupid as naturaul selection for creation. Not only was it the theorys fault that bad things happened, but it was the bad things that had been happening's fault the theory was accepted.
How do you know he was an athiest? that quote is mined from somewhere and i doubt he said that. you said that nazism, slavery, and other such things are to blame because of ToE, considering that all of the bad things go back farther than that i would say you are making unsupported claims. The the thoery is accepted because of the evidence
People wanted to rebel against God, but it's kind of a scary thing to do and looking at the things that were created they could sense the creator had awesome power. So what they needed was a lie so they could convince their concience that everything was okay, they needed another way to explain the "Origen of Species".
more baseless claims, wheres your evidence?
