see this crap? why did you have to but in with your rude dumb comment?
They just can't resist lashing out because they fear the reality of God.
you are the definition of what's wrong with your side.
What do you think about? Playboy magazine? how many beers you can drink to drown your problems out in a night? what game comes on every weekend?
Your thoughts are controlled just like you presume ours is, but you don't know it.
This is why coming to BTS ATS makes my ass sick..
bye OP/ good try, but rude little s***s come in and destroy it.
peace/

Oh, and uh, thanks but no thanks on your invitation to visit you in the afterlife, unless of course you open your heart, and we meet as familiar spirits in the Kingdom of Heaven.

My reply to you was in response to your argument that the Bible has survived for thousands of years due to its absolute "truth." My argument is that: Cant the same be said for every ancient religion? Some much holder than Christianity...

As usual Redneck, your arguments are always well thought and well made. I absolutely agree...to a degree...
I believe, if there was absolute truth in the literal words of the Bible you would see a much wider scale acceptance.
But, as the 'persecution' (a rather harsh word for todays times for Christians in America. At least comparative to past persecutions in other places) continues I find most of it is in the way of rejecting the people who use, manipulate, interpret and spread the message of their bias choice and not the messages of intention scribed by the authors.

Going back to the 'persecutions' (for lack of a better word, in regards to Americas Christianity) of today, you will find it more of a rebellion against Christianity because of its widespread acceptance..where at one time Christianity was the rebellion... So in that rebellious attitude is where you find much of where the anti- Christian rhetoric comes from... The small minded belief that none of it is true and therefore all Christians are stupid and dumb. Which (in the arguers mind) gives room for personal insults, flagging down posts on youtube and other fledgling attempts at ridicule...
