I fear by now you are already on your way to becoming an evangelical christian.
I plan to bring up:
-What happens to those who have never heard of Jesus, even if they are moral and good people?
The bible contradicts itself all over this, but they will only tell you passages concerning their interpretation. The fact is the bible never specifically talks about what happens to people that never hear the gospel. The authors didn't think that fair ahead, leading me to believe it is not divinely inspired. My bet is they are going to feed you the worst BS, which is that everyone goes to hell because god actually did reveal himself to everyone..... THROUGH THE BEAUTY OF NATURE LOL
But of course the bible is kind enough to offer you a contradiction to shut them up
"If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin."
-John 15:22
-How can you blindly follow ancient scripture that is imposible to validate the credibility of the writers?
This is going to be your worst question. you have no idea what you are talking about here, and are only musing on something you might have heard on the discovery channel. If there's one thing Christian scholars can do, it's talk your head off about how the bible has remained remarkably consistent for thousands of years(watch - The Case For Christ)
-Saying god created everything and ignoring science and evolution is ignorant, there is still so much we don't know about the universe and life, and we should seek more knowlage of how things work instead of just using god as an answer to everything. We as humans do not know everything.
Just reading this alone tells me how backwards you are, and I shiver at the thought of how they are going to be taking advantage of you because of your weak points. "We humans do not know everything" REALLY?! Have you read the bible at all before you decided to pick this fight?! The bible never says we know everything, and that we are foolish if we think so. Christianity has never discouraged the seeking of knowledge of
how things work. Many christian sects, including the original - Catholicism, accept evolution. Christian scientists have helped science for years discovering how things work, it's ORIGIN science that they have a disagreement with, and origin science doesn't really help us day-to-day with its advancements.
-Why does god want us just to be followers and sheep our entire lives? Are we not suposed to use the mind we have been blessed with and expand our thoughts?
This is a good one, but I would say it better. Why does god give us the ability to sin, and then what nothing to do with us when we use that free will freely? If god is everything, how the hell does he have an opposite? The only opposite of everything is nothing, so sin could only actually be nothing, or non-existence, but masturbating is definitely something, so why does God hate that part of himself so much? God gave us free will so we aren't machines, but he is most pleased when we act in that perfect no-sin-machine way.
-Speaking with god is basicly like speaking to an imaginary friend, you may only notice the coincidences that are in your favor or think things change because you "speak" to god but really these events are just pyscological or coincidental.
This is only a good point if you are well versed in psychology, because for once the burden of proof is now upon you. I just don't think you're educated enough yet to make this point.
-Why should you think lower of someone who has different beliefs? And why would someone who is good be condemed to eternal torment just because of their beliefs?
Because the bible explicitly says jesus is the only way. I find the only thing you can attack here is the way they look at things, which you must first truly understand. This was probably the most enlightening thing I've learned in dealing with the christian psyche. Hell is your birthright. If it just came down to getting what is fair and what you deserve in the afterlife, everyone would go to hell. The only reason some people go to heaven is because God did something so that certain people wouldn't get what they deserve - an eternity in hellfire. Salvation isn't something god gave us because he thought it wasn't fair that your whole race is destined to hellfire, he just thoguht to himself "You know, even though they are no where near good enough to ever get into heaven, I'll hold a lottery few a lucky few." So your task is to make the case for human kind; we do NOT deserve an eternity in torment.
-And finally at the end I will tell them my beleif of god and heaven, about this world, and about our purpose.
Ill be sure to inform you all of what happens, and thank you for helping me debate, expand, and suport these subjects.[/quote]
I expect that you will be converted the next time we hear from you.
