If you have over 500 target locator kills and 90% of your firefight matchmaking games are Gruntpocalypse, you are a -blam!- loser.

The reason Christianity hasn't changed at its core for thousands of years is because it works. If it ain't broke don't fix it. If you were going to but software for your computer would you buy the software that works and requires no maintenance or would you rather have the one with tons of bugs that needs constant updates to fix them?
Does it work because the stories keep changing to make it seems as though it's fluid? I hope you have enough common sense to know that the Bible written thousands of years ago is not the same Bible as today. Who's to say Jesus did exist, but was simply a person who had mystical visions, and over time his story evolved into him being a legendary person with super powers and all that jazz? Simply put that book is inconsistent at best and due to the fact there exist multiple interpretations over thousands of years should maybe give you the hint nothing in it is completely accurate. But hey, maybe I'm just the person who thinks a book like that holds no credibility whatsoever?
There is an absolute ton of evidence to prove Jesus Christ existed and done all that the New Testament (Historical, accurate, eye witness documentation, this is also proven, message me for it)has recorded. Theres even secular documents from the same time and region that record Jesus' existence.
He could have very well existed. But do you honestly believe he did all the things the Bible claimed he did? He could very will have been an average person and his story passed down until he did all of these mythical things no person has ever done before and modern physics would scoff at.
Why did tens of thousands of Palestinians convert to Christianity in the first century? Why is there over 5000 manuscript copies of the New Testament documents from around the same time shortly after Jesus death from all across the region and even Greece? People had to believe in him for a reason,they weren't stupid back then, they didn't believe things without evidence just like us. What did Jesus do to make them believe in him? What did the apostles do after his death? They couldn't have tricked that many people. Even if they somehow did what would be the point? They had nothing to gain by doing this and had everything to lose just so they could tell people to love each other and love God.
Why are there so many different versions of the Bible out today, some even rewriting key events? Why can't people of the same faith agree on some of the most fundamental of principles and teachings? I mean, people wouldn't just believe something is true because a books says it is, right? Why don't people question this obvious fallacy? Certainly people wouldn't fear that which they know nothing of. Even if they didn't fall victim why not believe? I mean, religion's only cost billions of lives and given people false hope, there's nothing to lose by believing in Jesus Christ!
More importantly, you realize that the New Testament was written by people who did not live during the same period as Jesus? If any part of the Bible is true, it's the Old Testament. Not such a loving God now, is he?
If you already haven't done so, I suggest taking a look at Russel's Teapot and noticing how similar those claims are to those made by Theists. God's existence in and of itself is a fallacy.
I could go on about how they can prove the great flood with sea creature fossils being found in the top of the Himilayas and the middle of Australia where there is no body of water. "Snapshot fossilization", accelerated rock formations, continental drift by streams under the earth's surface.
Then please show me something that proves this and that wasn't written by some tin-foil hat wearing religious wingnut.
But I get the feeling no matter how much evidence I throw at you, you're just going to think the worst of me still. So I'll make you a deal. I'm going to go pray for us, that what I believe to be God's will happens and we'll see what happens when we die.
You can't prove anything other than what the Bible has written down. And we've already discussed that it has been doctored by man over thousands of years and therefore nothing in that book is accurate. Just because the Bible said God invented the telephone doesn't mean it's true. You're welcome to do whatever you want I've already renounced the existence of the Holy Spirit so I'm Hell bound either way.
Hey if you're right I still lived a good life and died believing I was going to Heaven and you maybe the same without the last part. But If I'm right then I'm afraid the outcome will not be in your favor.
If I'm wrong I will at least lived a happy life devoted do doing what I think is good and right and not serving someone else's demand.
Hence why I'm going to go pray in all sincerity that you wake up and see the real evidence that Athiesm is a destructive fad that people are being lied to with. And that its "elite" are sad people who hate others for having some kind of hope justified or not. And I'm also going to pray that God reveals himself to you in your life so that you can know him.
I honestly don't know what to say. That's such obvious flamebait that I can smell it from a mile away. Nice try, but I assume Buddhists, Hinduists, Judaism, and Islam also fall under this same "destructive fad." How close minded are you? What type of bull-blam!- have you been listening to? If there's anyone promoting hate it's you for being so bigoted and intolerant.
You tell us to make up our own minds and think for ourselves. Why don't you do the same?
How -blam!- stupid is your question? Very. There's a reason I don't follow something that does not exist and you do. Because I use common sense and hold the Bible to the same critical standards as the National Enquirer.
I was going to simply state that I didn't want to get into a debate about religion, but I simply couldn't help myself after reading your last two paragraphs.
