‎”If Christians want us to back off, then they need to admit that we can be good without a god…”

Allow for me to say, the sort of *good* that exists for this person apart from any belief in God is the sort of goodness by which I loudly proclaim you can be *good* with.

Anyone attempting to answer the question, “what does it mean to be human?” Necessarily, steps beyond the bounds of empirical/scientific inquiry. This is not to say the natural sciences do not play a part in their response, it is to say the part it plays is not because anything empirical told them so.

There is no conflict between science and belief in God. Just as there is no conflict between science and the belief there is no God.

Concise version of what Dr. John Lennox said.

Yeah, I get sick of hearing these power words like ‘bigot’ being tossed out there to basically refer to people you disagree with. As though YOU are NOT a bigot on some issue!

How do we determine the answer to the question, “who am I?” Is there only *one* way to determine who we are? How does this relate, if at all, to the saying, “I accept myself as I am.”?

Think but Shut up if Not What I Think?

I have seen no reason to follow what was going on with the ‘Reason Rally.’ I am not surprised that people are frustrated, angry, antagonistic and confrontational when it comes to talking about *religion* and Christianity. I can spend endless hours talking about atheism and all the things associated with that, however, I believe it is far more beneficial to speak and live the truth of what defines ME! Being against something is easy…standing and living for something that actually makes a difference is far more challenging.
