Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

You can't disprove the Bible. You can put out the theories of evolution but you can't go back a few million years and prove it. I for one do believe in God and evolution, but I don't believe anyone has the power to just state that the Bible is wrong and atheists are right. No one is trying to insist on trying to impose Christianity on people of other faiths, you just take it that way. In fact, people just explain how their two things could co-exist or work. That is the whole science thing - working out what could've happened - but you can't actually link two things together and come up with an answer and then state you (as in general, not you) are right and anyone who thinks anything else is wrong. For example: substances react when put together due to the molecule layout etc. How do you know that that isn't true and that God makes chemical reactions happen because he doesn't approve of certain things being placed together? I don't believe that myself, but you never know.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

You do have a good point. I just personally don't believe in an omnipotent being sitting up in the sky controlling everything. I do believe there are gods, not just one. I do think they had influence on how we evolved, but i don't believe they made life or a planet. Oh and you can't exactly prove the bible either
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Firstly, thank you for accepting what I had to say rather than going off on one like so many others on this site.Secondly, I never said you could prove the Bible, I said no-one can prove anything - kind of the complete opposite.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

God influenced evolution it's called Devine intervention or inelegant design. And we we gain what we have through our successes which we achieve through the grace and blessings of god.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

You can tell you really don't know what Christianity is all about.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

I have read the bible and I know how sick it is,Leviticus 20:13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

I definitely agree with you KingK. This man who started this, and wrote all these bad things, could really benefit from knowing Christ. Not knowing who he is!, but truly knowing him and having a personal relationship with him, as I do.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

I am the person who started this, you have not denied or dis proven any of my points you just told me to do something that is impossible or to be mentally ill. I'm glad you agree with me that the bible says bad things. I am aware of Jesus, he is based on many other Gods such as Mithras who was born on the 25th of December, died for our sins, had 12 disciples, was born from a virgin, is worshipped on Sunday (because he was a Sun god) etc. he also said to beat your slaves "That servant who knows his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows." - Luke 12:47 He criticised Jews for not killing their disobedient children alsp.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

I am a Christian so my answer is yes most of the time. I do get angry with God but I still love Him. If I did not give a fuck, I would not care. I am glad that Jesus is my God and Saviour.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

I assure you if God was real he wouldn't feel the same way about homosexuals. Romans 1: 1:27 "And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. "
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

I object to the homosexuality argument. The Bible supports homosexuality.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

That is about temple prostitution. 2 Samuel 1:26 I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan: very pleasant hast thou been unto me: THEY LOVE TO ME WAS WONDERFUL, PASSING THE LOVE OF WOMEN. 1 Corinthians 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for IT IS BETTER TO MARRY THAN TO BURN. Matthew 19:10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. 11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 12 For there are some eunuchs, WHICH WERE SO BORN FROM THEIR MOTHER'S WOMB: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.It was impossible to castrate fetus in those days, so an eunuch so born from their mother's womb is a homosexual. There is more where that came from. ;)
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

then why didn't it say eunuchs, why did it generalise into an entire sexuality meaning millions of people would die, this is just one story there are others were God directly instructs people to kill gay people for that reason.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

God does not instruct anyone to kill gay people .
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

I have already done this one: Leviticus 20:13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

That is about temple prostitution. Do try again .
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Oh bullocks. That is telling people to kill TEMPLE PROSTITUTES!
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

The Bible does NOT tell people to kill gays .
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?

It is its all positive nothing in their is negative. and thatsa fact. :)

So the Spanish inquisition was a good thing? So the Crusades was a good thing?
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

I think its a healthy thing to believe in because you know that there is a God to help you in time of need and He is always for you and is always doing good in my life.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

I think it is you that is doing good and God is just your ego
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Not really I am doing good through God's help and what He does in my life.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

you haven't proven me wrong at all. The only logical explanation is that it was YOU who did it
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

this is an idea and not fact, you have no evidence or proof it's just what you think
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

the video titled biblical slavery is compleatly takeing things out of context. the bible refers to the isrialits as the belivers in god aka the faithful why would god make laws reguarding the other nations meaning othe faiths if those people arent going to follow them. look god watches over his children. aka the faithful aka the isrialits notice how most slaves in america became christian that ment they had to have been rleced after six years and previded for or it was a sin. its not gods job to look after those who turn there back on him by choice.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

you do not choose what you believe in, did you make a choice to not believe in Allah? if so, when? that's what it's like for atheists it's like you not believing in any other religion
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

I was not raised in a particularly religious house I chose to believe in god I chose Catholicism. I could have easily been an atheist but I chose to be one of gods children
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

well then you chose what you believed in, I prefer the metaphor "sheep" that is commonly used
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

We all follow some from of religion or philosophy. What gives you the right to mock mine?
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

I wasn't mocking you I was stating a fact, when I was a child I had to sing that I was a sheep to God, it is a very famous saying and has been used for centuries. I do not follow a religion and you can mock my philosophy I don't give a shit it means nothing to me as it isn't proving your point at all and makes you look stupid
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

this whole debate is mocking my religion "is chrystianity a healthy thing to belive in?" of course it is i would be dead without it. in middle school i was bullied relentlessly and i even contemplated suicide on more than one ocassion but i didnt do it becouse in catholisism i learnd that suicide is a sin and if i took my own life i would go to hell and suffer 10 tmes what i was suffering on earth so yeah im alive becouse of my religion.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

how do you know that? you could have got therapy or read a book on the subject and be saved by knowledge
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

But it wasn't any of those things that kept me from doing it. In my darkest moments when it seemed to be the only option it was the warning of my priest that stayed my hand.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

but it wasn't the only option, you could have got therapy, read a book on the problem, done yoga or meditation there are millions of options, maybe if you didn't listen to the priest you wouldn't have wanted to commit suicide in the first place or you would have taken a logical step towards beating the problem like reading a book or looking for methods of relaxation and self improvement. There are so many different options and variables.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

i wanted to kill myself becouse i was being bullied at scool i found solace in my faith.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

you just completely ignored my comment, you did not know that was the only option you felt like it was the only option
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

and how did you go about choosing to believe in something? if I said I chose to believe in unicorns you would think I was mad
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Even if I did I would respect your beliefs and not mock them of question them. A concept that escapes you atheists.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

your bible says that I am a fool with an evil heart, I deserve to burn for eternity and if your child is atheist you should kill them, I lost respect for religion long ago. In this circumstance I did not mock you I said that Christians call themselves sheep and this is a well known fact it is in many books, songs and sayings. If you find that disrespectful then it is your religion that is wrong not me.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Excuse me this will calls out desperate! Smokes fill the airwaves struggling to breathe. Let them become so I finally can sleepEverything I intended to say don't go back on your words
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

How dare anyone say that Christianity is bad!I'm non religious and even I'm aware of the good relgion can do. It acts as an anchor to society. As a goal to better than yourself. Anyone who even thinks relgions is bad, read the bible. It's a good, inspiring, moving story. God is made to be the perfect figure so that humans, as we know who are not perfect, can reach for some form of perfection.I believe when the bible was written it was written using alot of figurative launguage, and metaphors. Saying things like 'God made Earth' only to say this perfect person made Earth all that it is. The problem with Christianity is not in the religion, it's in the people.The bad people who don't want God to do good for themselves, they want God to oppress others.The fundamentalist who believe literally everything they read in the bible, and cast their back on modern medicine because of it.Worst of all may be the people who take the bible literally but decide that since none of it can be proven, that it must be a load of crap and become, self righteous atheists.Christianity is a good premise. Most religions are, they are only made to make people do better, with the promise of eternal life and great things beyond.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?

These videos were too hilarious but showed very obviously what side the O.P. was on. What about a video that shows some satire of how Christianity is healthy.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?

Everything matches up: take Exodus 14, parting of the Red Sea... and what do we find a thousand years later? Chariot wheels at the bottom of the Red Sea! OPEN YOUR EYES!!!

It says in the Quran that a man asked Muhammad "name an act holy'r than jihad" Muhammad reply'd I can think of none" explain that.

I think John Stewart said it best. “Religion. It's given people hope in a world torn apart by religion.”
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

I now love that quote. it's so beautiful and it describes perfectly my opinion on religion.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

Even if the world is torn by religion, it won't help to announce that a religion is bad, that will just create more arguments. Also, there is evidence everywhere that Christianity IS REAL, you just need to have open eyes and an open heart for information you don't want to hear.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

"there is evidence everywhere that Christianity IS REAL"Can you give me your best example of this evidence?
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

I think the self-loathing, human-blaming, guilt, low self-worth, and offer of vicarious redemption (not working to absolve your sins, not righting your wrongs, but putting your sins on another) are all poisonous and unhealthy things Christianity teaches. Of everything Christianity teaches, I think prayer is the healthiest. It's like meditation; getting your mental ducks in a row.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

well rather than people actually helping they pray and feel good about themselves even though they did nothing
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

From my perspective paying homage to any god is only doing two things:1. Blaming an unknowable force for knowable circumstances, thus lazily absolving one of any responsibility, involvement, or even care.2. Crediting an unknowable force for individual and human achievements.If a religious person is the sole survivor of a plane crash they will have the tendency to thank god and all his holiness for this great miracle while at the very same time miraculously absolving that god of all of the death that god must have been the cause of, or at the very least been capable of preventing and did not.While in the same situation the non-religious will have serious questions as to why the plane crashed to start with and be thankful someone invented seat belts.If a religious person sees a good act or does a kind deed, they will give this god all of the credit completely undermining the ability of humans to do such on their own.When a non-religious person sees a good act or does one they do not feel a fuzzy awe at some divine thing's greatness, but instead realize they are capable of that good on their own.God is an escape from the human condition. Without him we are forced to live here, in the present, and be responsible good or bad.If there were a god he would prefer the atheist over the whining and perpetually helpless theologian who can only act humanly out of fear or promise of reward, and whose all evils they shrug off as a lack of divine intervention and weakness.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?

to all the people saying that the bible supports homosexuality. Leviticus 20:13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

also the bible advocates slavery and genocide, many Christians use this and have used this to keep slaves like in America which is just really wrong and Hitler who was a Catholic did genocide as you all know

Concerns arise when children in their teens develop imaginary friends. Ascertaining to what extent the child believes the friend is real is important. Some teen girls have imaginary boyfriends, a quite harmless practice, when they understand that the boyfriend doesn't really exist.A teen or young adult with an imaginary enemy or friend, however, may be manifesting some degree of schizophrenia. Talking to one’s self frequently or believing that some unknown enemy is going to hurt one suggests the teen should be evaluated by a mental health practitioner.God is essentially an imaginary friend so I believe this is a valid piece of evidence. These things are true for teens who are still kids really, imagine adults. If having an imaginary friend can be dangerous mentally I teens, it's practically insane for adults. By insane I mean completely irrational. If a child dreams up a magical invisible pony they play with then it's cute and creative as long as they don't cling to it and can let it to at an appropriate age (as most do), now imagine if that was an adult. They would be subject to psychological analysis because they would appear mentally abnormal. The point is, believing in anything that is rediculous and untrue is foolish. It disrupts our cog stove reasoning and ability to think critically. We all grow out of Santa clause because we learn soon that there's just no evidence for him and he is therfore illogical. That is a natural thing to do, and what our brains are for. But through religion that ability to analyze logic and make decisions for oneself is repressed through brainwashing at a young age.In the case if Christianity I would argue its even more insane. To believe in an invisible friend, sure, it's illogical and a little crazy. But to believe in a magical creator of the universe as well as all the psychotic stories in the Bible? That is just absolutely mental. The stories repress human emotions and subconscious actions in an unhealthy way. They teach backwards morals and Bronze Age practices such as slavery and genocide. Not to mention the stress it can bring. The constant fear of hell that is used as a tool to convert people or keep them from leaving can be enormous. I would know, I dealt with it. It is unhealthy. Simple. It is fundamentally unnatural in every way and the things it teaches are immoral and stifle human advancement.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

It is not healthy to be fanatical about anything, or to accept religious beliefs as fact. But if you keep questioning it and accept only that which you know is right, that's fine.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

it is the concept that is un healthy, that you should hate the world and you are a slave and you should love your slave master
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

Christianity is pretty famous for hating other religions and forcing their will upon other people. For a few examples, the crusades, manifest destiny, the Spanish conquistadors, only to name a few. If you have no plans in trying to spread it as fast and as forcibly as you can than its probably healthy, except for devoting all your reason to one larger entity. Never mind, if i was you i would turn heel and get away from this religion. It seems a lot more trouble than its worth. Unhealthy!
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

Bullshit. Both sides of the Crusades were wrong .
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

No just the Muslims were wrong those dogs should have kept there hands off of other people's stuff
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: no it isn't

It is unchristian to refer to human beings that way. True Christians show the love of Jesus. "Love thy enemies".
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?
Side: yes it is

I have a hard time loving murderers. These "people" constantly murder others just for not being Muslim.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?

If you do not love your enemies, you are disobeying Jesus. How very Christian of you. ;)
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?

The Bible says to love your neighbor, and that if you hate, you are not a true believer.
Debate: Is Christianity a healthy thing to believe in?

I do not hate I recognize evil and look on it properly. A sheep dose not love a wolf for the wolf is his enemy

We are COMMANDED to love unconditionally. If you do not do this, you are not a Christian.

Because Christians have been so good at keeping their hands off other peoples stuff like for instance America and before you start bleating that it was the Spanish not Christians that invaded America massacaring people as they went I will point out it was Catholic Spanish that conquered America and for a long time they would not allow you in if you were not Catholic.
