Atheists like to claim intellectual superiority, yet when attempting to make an argument against Christianity, they always fall short. While claiming to be the pinnacle of learned men, they lose all sense of logic, context, reading comprehension, and deductive reasoning when they erroneously create arguments in opposition to Christianity. If you want to reject God, so be it, but at least do it on the basis of what the bible actually teaches and not what you read on the internet.
Read, study, understand. Leave your pride and arrogance at the door. Context is a thing and its wonderful.
Edit: Let's keep this going, guys! And thank you to all the wonderful people who stopped by and proved my point.

Edited by Nanye: 8/25/2015 9:26:12 PMI personally think that religion was created to enforce a sense of morality onto the general public, (Ill use Christian terms etc for this). Places like Heaven and Hell encouraged people to stand in the lines of a moral code, or else they would suffer eternal unrest in Hell. Hell would have discouraged people to steal, rob, and Heaven would encourage people to be good citizens. Jesus's teachings/miracles/act of wonders etc. were to 'capture' the audience, and the stories would have been morphed over time, so then it was thought to be hardcore fact. But that is my opinion and beliefs when it comes to Religion :). Your beliefs and opinions may vary. Edit: Encourage was encouraged. Whoops.
