So this isn't much of a debate thread, huh.


How is it not?

@IceMage, I don't see how you could say that when you have not presented any arguments at all. A debate is not simply one person arguing a point. Show me some evidence, tell me something other than "Didn't convince me".

Am I closed minded because I don't convert to atheism?

Sounds like your the one who is close minded.

Please don't put words into my mouth, I never suggested or even implicated that you are closed minded. I am open-minded, but I also understand the dangers of blind faith.

Of course not, Christianity and an open mind do not go hand in hand.

"In science it often happens that scientists say, "You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken," and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion."


I am Christian and consider myself open minded.

If anything, the OP is the best way I can even attempt to fathom God's enormity. Thank you. All it takes is a little perspective to put things in focus again.

Ok, I contradicted myself. I'm man enough to admit that :P.


Let us keep this on topic. I've given my argument, please produce a rebuttal so I can counter-rebut.

I think I would like you more if you changed your homosexual signature.

That's an open mind for you :). I can accept that, however I do believe that is a little contradicting of the God portrayed in Christian religion.

Maybe, I've been thinking John Wayne would be another good legend.

Maybe your understanding of Christianity is based on wrong information? The concept of God, imho, isn't completely fathomable to many people. Even after looking at your picture and reading the text, understanding God is like understanding infinity. How can your ever fully understand something that is never ending and unlimited? I just like things like your OP to help me step back for a second and realize how minuscule we are in the grand scheme of things.
