Science vs

First I will give the sources I said I was going to for my claims that Christians are persecuted in China, Turkey & Iran (among other places world wide) [1]. [2], [3] My opponent seems to be writing what he thinks are informative articles against Christianity rather than debating. That is just what it seems to be to me. Never the less I will continue to refute his claims. What is the basis for the claim that one's mindset remains incredibly dysfunctional if you subscribe to a particular religion? This is the second round my opponent has made without citing any sources to back his claims up. My opponent's 2nd and 3rd point is basically the same. He also seems to be attacking religious people. "Mindless minion training", "Sheep". I still would like to see my opp's sources on all his claims, Engineered obedience training in particular. We all can admit that there are cults out there who brainwash their adherents. But to lump ALL religious movements, Christianity in particular, is pigeon holing. We all know that not ALL religious groups brainwash. My opp should know that true Christianity, does not brainwash. He should know how hard it is to keep up with the tenants of Christianity, as he was once a Christian and even in seminary. I cannot tell you how many times I have been in a small group in my church and we talk about how hard it is to do the things God tells us to do. No one, by any means was brainwashed or conditioned to do anything. Romans 3:23 states: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.[4] This is an acknowledgement by Paul that Man is not perfect, or brainwashed or conditioned to do anything God says. In fact, we often times do the EXACT opposite. My opp asserts that God does not listen directly to prayer and there must be an intermediary to receive such prayers. He is referring to Catholicism. Which falls under Christianity if you ask most people. However this method of prayer is not true for Protestants. Look at the Lord's Prayer: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours. Now and for ever. Amen.[5] You are praying DIRECTLY TO GOD! There is no intermediary. My opp seems to have over looked or refused to answer my questions I posed in round one. So I will pose them again sans the sources already provided in round one: 1. How does the atheist account for existence? 2. How does the atheist account for rationality? 3. How does the atheist account for morality? 4. What reasoning does the atheist have for needing to disprove the existence of God? 5. Where in the bible does it state that God is a physical being? I can understand the preaching in round one, but in round two it continues. There were no refutations of my arguments. No answering of my questions. Just preaching the atheist gospel. He even abandoned the topic at hand "science vs" there was no science mention in round two. Just preaching. I guess I can no longer question his seminary teaching 1. http://www.nationalreview.com... 2. http://www.meforum.org... 3. http://www.cbn.com... 4. http://www.biblegateway.com... 5. http://www.lords-prayer-words.com...
