Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
96% of abortions are not medically necessary. Abortions for rape and incest combined account for about 0.4%. Abortions because of risk to the mother life or a major bodily function are roughly 0.3%. Abortions for fetal abnormality are about 1.2%.
The overwhelming majority of abortions are elective.
@CappyMoose@sj27426@FredrickAbberl1@MentallyNathan If you think I am going to have a long conversation about this with you, you are truly delusional.
You haven't a clue what you are talking about and.......
@_Ochiedike Africa endorsed slavery. In fact, African kingdoms sold slaves, so you might want to keep your distance from that continent. Don't go to Europe or America, though, because those are the places that bought them.
I hear Antarctica is nice this time of year.
Interesting move. You have no logical understanding of the subject matter you're criticizing, so instead of educating yourself to gain an understanding of what you disagree with, you spend 20 minutes googling memes to make your argument?
A respectable atheist (Christopher Hitchens, for example) knows the Bible incredibly well and can make a coherent argument against it. You apparently cannot.
The other guy in this thread at least took the time to ask ChatGPT. You couldn't even do that. But being someone (I'm sure) who believes in science and reason, answer the reasonable science question that he couldn't (trying using your own brain, and not lame memes that attempt to dodge)...
How does something come from nothing?
@_Ochiedike@JWS846893322695 Of course you can, because you worship the god of this world who causes the most horrific crimes, including murder and rape.
@Robbservations2@sj27426@FredrickAbberl1@MentallyNathan I'll tell you what. Study the entire book of John (it's the gospel I tell all new Christians to start with). Study it carefully. Check the footnotes and cross-references. Once you understand the material, then we can have a discussion. DM me when you're done studying.
Well, you finally got one thing right! 👏 👏 A powerful Cause of the universe by itself does not prove that God is the God of the Christian Bible or that He inspired it.
The cosmological argument only establishes that a transcendent, powerful Cause exists.
So here's where you and I have come (and I'm proud of you, sport): we've gone from "Does any God exist" to Which (if any) of the claimed revelations match the evidence...two questions that need two different kinds of evidence, and you're treating the 2nd question as if the 1st argument was meant to answer it. You're making a category error...not a refutation.
If you like we can discuss the historical case for the resurrection of Jesus, the reliability of the original new testament documents, or why what Christianity claims is more coherent than the alternatives. I know you enjoy our time together, so I'm happy to do it...but memeing that the cosmological argument doesn't prove the entirety of Christian belief doesn't make that argument go away.
Also, the insults don't strengthen your position. They simply signal that you're frustrated that you can't seem to come up with an alternative logical explanation for creation.
Your AI memes make general claims about what some Christians may or may not say or argue. When I asked you a direct, logical science question, you melted. Well, no, that's not fair. You didn't know, so you went to AI, and the chatbot failed you.
Ask me a direct, reasonable question, and I will give you a direct reasonable answer.
The hardest part is over. You acknowledge the existence of "a god." Now we're just quibbling over which god it is?
Since we know the universe was caused by something, whatever caused it must have been very powerful, personal, and have the ability to act within the created universe. That creator being is what we call God.
If God is powerful create and fine tune the universe, It's no problem for Him to inspire a collection of 66 books we know as the Bible, written by 40 authors over about 1400 years on 4 continents, create humans, flood the earth, make it stand still, and make a donkey talk.
@Robbservations2@sj27426@FredrickAbberl1@MentallyNathan So basically if you can't ask Grok, ChatGPT, or Gemini, and you have to try and come up with a logical answer all by yourself, you're out? I was really enjoying the memes! 👋
@Robbservations2@sj27426@MentallyNathan I'm getting lost in all the threads. Can you remind me again which specific question you're asking me to answer? I promise not to use AI 😉
@Robbservations2@sj27426@MentallyNathan I did enjoy your AI generated answer to the question. Unfortunately science and rational thought debunked it. I hope you weren't paying for a subscription.
