The National Day of Prayer (NDP) takes place tomorrow. By federal law, the commemoration occurs on the first Thursday of every May.Most events around the country are coordinated by the National Day of Prayer Task Force, a private group run by Shirley Dobson, wife of Religious Right leader James C. Dobson of Focus on the Family. The task force instructs its volunteers to allow only conservative Christians to speak, and its events are often laden with ?Christian nation? rhetoric.?A government-sponsored day of religious activity was never a good idea,? says the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United. ?Now, the event has been taken over by the Religious Right and turned into an exercise in political posturing and theological one-upmanship.?

Oh really…ok. Exactly how did you “test” that God isn’t taking up residence in the Andromada galaxy?
Here’s a simple test. Prove “scientifically” that atheism is real…?

Really…and where does it state this…?
Please don’t try to use “the 4 corners of the earth” as your example…
Well, Phreedum,
I have already heard your atheism does not exist crap. I exist and that is good enough for me.
Where does god say that the earth is a sphere? In the time of Jesus the Greeks knew it. Why did this important fact(and many others) not get mention. Why would the perfect word not have a single important fact in it? Jesus could have saved millions by explaining germs and micro-organisms to the people. Not a single mention of this fact anywhere. Christians say Jesus saves. I can’t see that he did anything to save anyone. He either did not know these facts, or intentionally intended for millions to die. He was either smart and cruel, or he was good and stupid.

created…point to another god who is suppose to be eternal.
Great question though…
phreedm:
Right. That was my point. He was created, but most people would call him a god. Or is your point that Apollo does not qualify as a god because he is not eternal? (Assume for the sake of argument that he is real.)
“take sex for example” What a hoot! If our lecturers only knew what to do with that subject more than any other one! Ha!
phreedm:
we don’t need to test that he isn’t there, we simply need to be inable to verify that he is.
this is consistant with the “believe in things that can be tested” idea.
and get off your “scientifically prove that atheism is real” crap, you’ve consistently failed to point out anything wrong with answers that have been (misguidedly) given to you in the past.
they don’t agree because their bible is a ‘reveletion’ so they interpret it differently.they will end up in different heavens
