Why is it so important to refute Christianity?

[I try really hard not to get into theological discussions on every aspect of Old Testament law vs. New Testament grace. The main reason is simple. There is no explaination that will satisfy you. So I choose not to be drawn into that discussion. And I know, you will next make fun of my reasoning and intelligence because I refuse to get drawn in, but that is your choice to do so if you want.

I understand. I truly do.

I know what Islamic law is, without your condecension......

The first to move an any large migration tend to cling more strongly to the ways of their homeland than subsequent generations. With all due respect (however much that is), I fully expect that secular humanism will have won out, if it has really been threatened, in Western Europe.

Muslims start trying to take over at about 15%.

I heard you snickering as you wrote that Mesquite.

The problem with atheists is they haven't written out any of their doctrine, or elected a leader. Unless Rush Limbaugh does more than I realize... or suspect anyway. Atheism would be more respected if you guys gathered on weekends to syncronize your opinions, like we christians do. Maybe even on wednesdays for some recreational activity. That's why we Christians are always so much more consistant than you guys (the weekend activities, not the wednesday ones).

Mesquite, are you atheist? I supose I should know by now.

Maybe I am just dense Cephus, but where is the problem here. I choose to believe that marriage is and always has been defined as a union between a man and a woman. How does my arguing against gay marriage prohibit me from believing than an individual has the personal right to practice homosexuality?

But I'm sure you don't care about the truth, you're quite happy with your head in the Bible.

They have a leader, but they don't realize it. He hates them and can't
stand the sight of them as he does any human, because
they are made in the image of God. When he is through with them he
kills them. God says, if you are not for Him you are against Him. That automatically puts them in the antiChrist camp with a doctrine. I think it
is refered to as "the doctrine of demons". They have nothing to do, but
try to undo and mock God . So, it doesn't need to be written down. It is
the same old
garbage recycled over and over as it has been for centuries. They could not congregate, because when they aren't fighting Christians they are
fighting each other. They manage to have philo love (the conditional
kind of human love), but no agape love (the God kind of unconditional love) that holds holds Christians, who are listening to God, together. The
ones that aren't walking in the God kind of love fight with each other
just like heathens do.

I apologize, I wasn't nearly as quick to post as I had thought. That last post was directed at you, great, in response to this. I thought it was a bit rude.

I'm christian, yet I've known athiests who were better men than me. If I'm smart enough to realize that, I'm certain God is also.

You're right in that I jump to a lot of conclusions. Perhaps I just interpreted the mood incorrectly. Anyway, I don't think any offence was intended on either side. Group hug!
