asalimpo: The reason every Christian born believes all the ridiculous Christian dogmas is because of 1. The people around him/her- family and church force it on him from childhood A stage when he is too fragile minded and easily deceived into anything 2. The Christian born has only ever known the Christian dogmas to the mysteries of the universe...he has nothing to compare and contrast with 3. The fear of hell and eternal damnation keeps the Christian born captured 3 Likes |

davien: No, innocent babies went to a better place while their parents reaped what they sowed. That is just and merciful as it gets. Your morality is baseless and fickle, very much subject to change in whim. Indeed, emotion can deceive. Psalms 7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. 7:12 If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. 7:13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. |

davien:Davien...I've decided not to engage such SADISTS in any meaningful discussion till they realise their folly. These guys lack moral and are completely wicked ( just like Boko Haram and ISIS) and will kill in defence of their god they just have not realised it yet. If they existed during the spanish inquisition I'm sure they will be one of the top executioners. 1 Like |

Image123:it is so glaring that you guys dont even read your so called holy book before coming out to rant. Another popular example. Have you forgotten when God told Saul to kill the amaelekites, everything(children, women)? Even when saul saw that it was wrong, he was punished by our good lord. So much from a so called loving god. I can give u plenty examples of the psychotic acts of our merciful god. 1 Like |

Peterken05: This is a glaring reason why atheists cannot convince any right thinking person. Psalm 137 doesn't show God ordering anyone to do anything. Yet you want to force your opinion on the verse like you lack comprehension. It's shame on every atheist who thinks this blindly. |

Image123: the problem with you guys is that you keep thinking like a psychopath, these are gory acts in the bible and you still saying god doesnt command anybody, who wrote/inspired those people that wrote the bible? Why are these things in the bible in the 1st place? Why does your god find pleasure in all these acts? Why does your condone these acts (even if he doesnt command it)? -cruetly to children -cruetly to women -slavery e.t.c here are some, check the rest yourself. Psalm 137:8-9; O daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, happy is he who repays you for what you have done for us, he who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rock. 1 Samuel 15:3; Now go, attack the amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them, put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys Isaiah 13:16-19; their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives ravished. Their bows will strike down the young men; they will have no mercy on infants nor will they look with compassion on children, Babylon the jewel of kingdoms, the glory of Babylonians pride will be overthrown by God like Sodom and Gomorrah Hosea 13:16; the people of Samaria must be their guilt, because they have rebelled against their god. They will fall by the sword, their little ones will be dashed to the ground, and their pregnant women ripped open Revelation 2:20-23; you tolerate that woman jezebel who calls herself a prophetess, I will strike her children dead. 1 Like |

See the god image claims is the epitome of love, mercy and compassion. . .Here his shameless rants from the bible. . . Amos 4:9-12 “Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards, destroying them with blight and mildew. Locusts devoured your fig and olive trees, yet you have not returned to me,” declares the Lord. “I sent plagues among you as I did to Egypt. I killed your young men with the sword, along with your captured horses. I filled your nostrils with the stench of your camps, yet you have not returned to me,” declares the Lord. “I overthrew some of you as I overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. You were like a burning stick snatched from the fire, yet you have not returned to me,” declares the Lord. “Therefore this is what I will do to you, Israel, and because I will do this to you, Israel, prepare to meet your God.” No where did satan say any thing close to this in the bible. . .The koran actually contains nothing like this from allah. . .Yet we are to believe that the god spewing such childless tantrums if the source of human morality , love , mercy, compassion and kindness. . .NONSENSE!!. . . |

Image123: are you serious? Psalm 137:8-9; O daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, HAPPY IS HE WHO REPAYS YOU FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR US, HE WHO SEIZES YOUR INFANTS AND DASHES THEM AGAINST THE ROCK. You can tell me its david ( a man after god heart). But the bible as you say is the word of god. |

Dapo777: Psalms 137:9 Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. Oh so now, God is the 'he'? You've just got to nail Him anyhow ain't it? The accusation was that God ordered His people to smash heads, now you're insinuating that He's the one smashing. |

Image123: Ok let me also assume the "he" is not Yahweh for the sake of argument, why is happiness promised to "he" that smash Babylon's baby on rock? Why is smashing of babies encouraged in the "holy" Bible? If u ignore this question like you usually do other difficult questions I would assume u Av accepted ur folly. |
Re: The Reason Why Atheists Dont/cant Convince Staunch Christians. by Nobody: 8:53am On Oct 08, 2014 |
Image123: He already accepted that he jumped into conclusion,why don't u tell him What psalm 137:9 is rather than beating around the bush. This is What Christians do When They are faced with difficult questions. They start beating around the bush to escape the question and hide their folly. |

Dapo777: To an extent, I like it when Christians are challenged to go back and STUDY their Bibles. I am really NOT interested in arguments, but let me point out that if only Christians would truly study and understand their Bibles, they would not only be better witnesses, but they would enjoy more peace in their lives. To put straight your quote, let us look at different versions that clarify this statement of Psalm 137 verse 9: (ASV) Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones Against the rock. (BBE) Happy is the man who takes your little ones, crushing them against the rocks. (Bishops) Blessed shall he be: that taketh & throweth thy litle children against the stone. (Brenton) Blessed shall he be who shall seize and dash thine infants against the rock. (CEV) May the Lord bless everyone who beats your children against the rocks! (Darby) Happy he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock. (ERV) Bless the one who grabs your babies and smashes them against a rock. (ESV) Blessed shall he be who takes your little ones and dashes them against the rock! (Geneva) Blessed shall he be that taketh and dasheth thy children against the stones. (GNB) who take your babies and smash them against a rock. (GW) Blessed is the one who grabs your little children and smashes them against a rock. (ISV) How blessed will be the one who seizes your young children and pulverizes them against the cliff! (JPS) Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock. (JUB) Happy shall he be, that takes and dashes thy offspring against the stones. (KJV) Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. (KJV-1611) Happy shall he be that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. (KJV-BRG) Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. (LEB) Happy shall be he who seizes and smashes your children against the rock. (LITV) Blessed is he who seizes your little ones and dashes them against the stone! (MKJV) Blessed is he who seizes and dashes your little ones against the stones. (RV) Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the rock. (Webster) Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. (YLT) O the happiness of him who doth seize, And hath dashed thy sucklings on the rock! It is apparent that Yahweh pronounces a blessing on the one who smashes the head of Babylon's baby. However, what you have also failed to acknowledge is that this is a prophecy regarding the End of Days, of which are now experiencing. See my article: http://brotherjohn.org/mystery-of-the-end-of-days/ & http://brotherjohn.org/woman-of-revelation-12-and-the-man-child/ I have taken time to explain these things in those two articles. You must understand who Babylon is and who the suckling child of Babylon is as well. Babylon is after YOUR destruction EOS. The baby of Babylon is the system, by which it wants to carry it out in YOUR life. It is sad, when people don't understand what God is truly saying and they reach unreasonable conclusions. I pray and hope that you will understand these things and see that God is not after your ill, but your well-being, if only you will care as much for your life, too. God Bless |

you still dont get it. Why would a loving god smash innocent children head on rocks? If god is all that powerful why cant he use another alternative instead using violent? Why cant he perform magic on their minds and they'd change overnight? |
