Kirk Cameron proved the existence of God in debate with Atheists.

Things have changed greatly the last ten years or so regarding dairy products. There have been quite a few public health campaigns about the benefits of dairy products in SE Asia. Thailand and Laos are onboard. Watch Thai and Lao TV you'd be amazed how many adverts are shown about milk and other dairy products. The Thai and Lao actually believe if you drink milk, you'll become taller.

Swensens is really popular in Laos and Thailand. Funny thing about Swensens, it's one of the few multinational restaurants allowed in Laos. McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut etc have never been allowed to operate in Laos, while they are very popular across the Mekong.

 

I agree..it's also nice to see he can be funny without a script..

 

Evolution decreated God.

 

Only in the minds of those to whom this nonentity ever was thought real.

 

I disagree with the strategy - to try to convince people God exists without using the Bible. This is not how to get thinking people to believe. I still appreciate Kirk Cameron's dedication.

 

He could of tried the koran, I think they do a job about proving God's existence, and it's not the bible.

 

I really don't understand why some Christians are so hell bent on proving anything to anyone.

I'm a Christian and I have friends of all faiths and no faiths and as long as we don't discuss religion we're ok.

 

A King who would crown himself is a tyrant.

The OP is a case in point of the absolute bias that keeps some so blinded and causes so much strife. The attitude of "my view is the view and defeats all other views" is just silly to me. Why the need to be right trumps the need to respect dissenting views will remain a mystery to me... one of humanities greatest weaknesses IMO... in which I do not exclude myself from.

 

So heathens like me who rejects the Bible are not "thinking people"? Here is what I "think'"... for the Bible to be taken seriously by me, one would have to prove it contains the word of God and not just the fallible word of man. And as God is a theological intangible there is no way to provide empirical evidence that links God to the Bible. Where you perhaps see the infallible word of God I see the fallible word of man.

I know Christians probably think that I am being a smart aleck, but if one could offer me empirical evidence of the resurrection of Jesus, I would run out my door to the nearest Church to swear fealty to Christ. But as I know that it is an exercise in futility to prove the existence of a theological intangible... I default to the position of live and let live.

 

Aye, and his evolutionary history can be traced as well, back to polytheism and celestial worship, etc.

 

How would one provide empirical evidence for that?

Personally, though, I think we have empirical evidence that Jesus was a solar allegory. He's about to die and be resurrected again right around Christmas, when the sun reaches its lowest point in the sky, stays there about three days, then begins ascending again as we move on toward the coming Spring and Summer.

 

Read my post again. Slower this time.

 

It can't be done. This is why I say my faith began where my reason ended. And for this reason I do not engage in the exercise in futility of trying to prove God to others.

 

Please excuse my overzealous and presumptive post.

 

It's all good.

 

It all sounded good until that portion highlighted in red text. Is that the 'default position' on this forum?

 

Why do you ask?
The part you highlighted doesn't suggest anything of the kind.

 

No, only applies to real life. In real life when I am around my Christian conservative family and the hot button topics come up... I am as quiet as a Church mouse. People just get grumpy when you challenge a popular view... makes for an awkward Thanksgiving dinner. So I learned long ago that it is better to leave the debate for here on the forums.

 

So, you have a set of double standards that you use in dealing with various people that you come in contact with. So it is 'better' to reserve your opinion for this and similar forums than it is to express your opinion to family members. To me, that makes it sound like you are not being very honest with your family members. Now, if you are not being honest with your family members and are withholding information out of fear of being uncomfortable, then why do you feel it is appropriate here? That's right... double standards.... what applies to those you are close to does not apply to those that you have never met... Got it. Respect for them and none for anyone that you don't recognize as family members.

 

Maybe it's the don't feed the pigs thing. You are withholding information here out of fear.

 

On the contrary. It is obeying the scripture.... ooooooh!

 

I think you have read way too much into what I was saying. Besides, its none of your business if I want to be live and let live with my family while engaging in debate here. To each their own.

In the end not sure what any of this has to do with the OP.

 

Well, you made it the business of the forum community when you first mentioned your family and how you interact with them on these subjects. So complain about your own loose lips. If this subject has nothing to do with the OP, then again, blame yourself for introducing this subject to the thread.

 

So the person we see on PF called Incorporeal is just the same persona at home with his family?
No wonder your photo on your homepage shows you sitting alone in front of your computer.
