The rules of debate have built-in a sort of humility, that is, if your position is shown to be false or lacking, you must acknowledge that fact.
In the case of your friend's…"

"Thanks again for the replies. Some very good points and the 1 Peter 3:15 verse is especially useful. This individual ended up deleting all his replies and disappeared from the conversation, it's a miracle....;)"

"The anecdotal story of a police officer giving a homeless man shoes is specious.
I am an atheist and have bought new clothes and toys for the homeless, thus that particular moral idea (charity) does not proceed from the Bible.

"I would prefer public secular schools such as ours have copies of the Bible, so when I denigrate the scripture for it's utter profound and obvious stupidity, it pays to have it freely available to students to investigate and understand that I…"

"There is no hope for him. He's single-minded and not too bright. If he can't believe the universe started from nothing, where does he think his 'god' started? Oy Vey!"

- About Me
- I'm a 27 year old male. I was born in Puerto Rico and moved to the US at the age of 9. I was raised Catholic and attended Church services at least twice a week until I moved out. I never got caught up in my religion but just went a long with it because it was the thing too do. I didn't notice I was an atheist until my wife pointed it out to me (she's a believer) about 4 years ago.
