Re: Atheists are the worst of all!!It's an argument from historical precedent that sola scriptura is a recent innovation accepted by not one person of Christianity before the 16th Century.(Original post by Algorithm69)
How does the fact that some denominations accept sola scriptura, whilst others reject it, and that Christianity is constantly evolving, show that 'true Christianity' can exist?
Because even some Protestant groups accept the importance of Tradition (not the same as tradition with a small t). Anglicanism, for example, places a large emphasis on Tradition with regard to the interpretation of Scripture.If we are to accept Wikipedia, which states the sola scriptura is a formal principle of Protestantism today, and Protestantism makes up 800 million out of 2.1 billion Christians, how is it 'largely rejected' exactly?
See above. It's an argument from history. And if 40% do accept it (which isn't strictly true as we've seen above) then that means 60%+ do accept it.How can you say Christianity is not a sola scriptura religion when 40% of Christians are members of a group that espouses it?
You seem to have misunderstood my argument. It's an argument from history essentially pointing out that you're trying to argue against Christianity on the grounds of Islamic interpretation of Scripture. Islam does not have interpretation based upon the light of Tradition. Simple fact. Also no Muslim would claim that there is an over-arching body which has rights to interpret Scripture whilst the majority of Christians would. Thus, it is possible to speak about true forms of Christianity and for me to speak of other denominations, as being less or more truthful that others. As said, this would make sense to you if you researched the basics of Christian exegesis.then you have to look at the reverse Your usage of the term 'objective truth' I find to be truly remarkable. How does a Church Authority interpreting scripture constitute objective truth? All it does for me is reinforce the fact that Christendom is fractured and fragmented and completely clueless as to what constitutes true Christianity.
Lastly, on a side note, surely if one of them are real it is perfectly legitimate to talk about truth. You're committing the fallacy of begging the question.Last edited by adamrules247; 06-03-2012 at 15:24. -

Atheists you guys suck big time
A valid argument, if there actually was a god.. -

Re: Atheists are the worst of all!!We are all born atheist and then geography, for the most part, decides our religious beliefs. Religious belief is so sporadic. How can they all be right?
Globally, atheism is a cohesive mechanism; religion a divisive one.Last edited by Lukermsdn111; 06-03-2012 at 15:31. -

Re: Atheists are the worst of all!!I know(Original post by adamrules247)
Half of those people weren't even atheists. One or two explicitly said they weren't atheists.
It was five in the morning and I liked the picture.

Re: Atheists are the worst of all!!Self deceptions, eh. Dear, oh dear my. I set out to seek to inform someone better so they don't try and make an erroneous comparison of Christian exegesis to Islamic exegesis and I get attacked with ad hominems! What a world...(Original post by Algorithm69)
I'll reply later. Quite frankly I'm bored and have better things to do right now than untangle your theological self-deceptions. Feel free to claim victory. I'll reply when I can be bothered. -

Re: Atheists are the worst of all!!Define "real" Muslim? What do you mean by "shunned"? And every time a "peace envoy" from the "religion of peace" decides to "share community values of diversity and tolerance" via fertiliser and semtex, how come the silence from unelected self-appointed groups like the UK Muslim Parliament and "community leaders" is so deafening?(Original post by -Liberty)
Religious terrorism? Really? It seems as though you believe the labels written in the mainstream newspapers. Every single one of these terrorist attacks by "Muslim" people have been shunned by real Muslims. Same with the recent Buddhist attacks.
Incidentally, seeing as you mentioned Muslim opinion, can I ask what you think of the poll in The Guardian which showed that:
Or in fact, any of the following polls?Muslims in Britain have zero tolerance of homosexuality
None of the 500 British Muslims interviewed believed that homosexual acts were morally acceptable. 1,001 non-Muslim Britons were interviewed.
Poll, March 2004 - 13 percent support terror attacks on the US.
Poll, July 2005 - 6 percent support terror attacks on Britain.
13 percent have "a lot" of sympathy for the attackers.
Survey, Feb 2006:
16 percent of British Muslims support suicide bombing in Israel.
7 percent of British Muslims support suicide bombing in Britain.
Survey, July 2006:
16 percent of British Muslims support the "cause" of the London bombers.
Survey of British Muslims, Channel 4, Aug 2006
24 per cent agreed or tended to agree that the 7/7 bombings were justified. - that's 1 in 4 UK Muslims, over a million, happy to see the burning flesh torn from innocent children. Discuss?
45 per cent think 9/11 was carried out by the US or Israel.
36 percent said they wanted Sharia law in the UK. - that's the one where a woman is worth half a man and rape victims are imprisoned and stoned.
Half said British people who insult Islam should be arrested and prosecuted.
Almost 80 per cent said those who published cartoons of the prophet Mohammed should be punished.
Survey of British Muslims, Channel 4, June 2007
24 percent of British Muslims deny that the four British Muslim suicide bombers carried out the 7/7 attacks.
24 percent of British Muslims believe the British government carried out the 7/7 attacks.
How very tolerant and diverse, eh? -

Athesits are the most ignorant and ungrateful people ever.... They will burn in hell one day. -
