Does anyone else find it humorous that atheists must read the Bible to argue their...

First you must understand that the Bible is a very rich text. In Ezekiel it talks about large donkeys that have intercourse with
young woman. So we must use this and other rich information
when arguing scripture.

guess what. i can pick up a history book that descibes christianity as being a religion that believes the earth to be 6000 years old and i can also pick up a science book that says otherwise. all without every touching a bible

You believe in an invisible man who lives in the sky. 'Nuff said.

What a shining example of Christian lovingkindness!

I find it funny that they can't make any good arguments without taking something from the bible. I haven't seen a single argument that didn't involve stealing something from the bible.

If we don't look biblical things up christians say we don't know what we're talking about. If we do you say something like that or that we're secretly trying to find god. It's lose-lose, but personally I'd rather know what i have to deal with then go in blind.

There is no Devil = There is no God. You know, the real irony of it all is that many atheists had religion instilled in them at an early age. These people went on to grow up & throw off the shackles of circular thought. See? That's when the "little light" went on.
I was raised going to church for choir practice, music director's pet, prayer circle, candlelight vigil, or some damm reason nearly every night of the week. This went on for 13 years. I didn't feel anything after being "saved" 8 times, & I certainly know my Bible. Gawd knows I had to read it enough!

Oh, and John 3:16 is SOooo overrated.

Where's this rule about reading the Bible?

Besides, a lot of people read it as a Christian and then that turns them away. Not to mention, if we weren't reading it, then we'd be getting messages telling us to read it. Wait. We already get those anyway.

So what do you want?

No, actually I don't. If you have ever done debate, research is critical. You must know your topic inside and out, and be able to see both sides of the story, then argue and persuade your point using the given context.

Just like in English class, you have to PROOVE your statement; Justify it. It makes no sense to argue about something and say. "I think this, because I said so." It makes you an inadequate debater to do so.
