Unfortunately this Mind set

Unfortunately this Mind set is all too common among Christians

"God created the stars so that when we invented telescopes we would have something to look at" gee isn't god incredible...

Their argument against Fossils is the same thing
God created Adam and Eve full grown...Thus he also did that to the earth...with a FALSE history...

I don't even talk with these people because they are so Brainwashed, mind controlled, and dumbed down that they can hardly rub two braincells together to start a fire...after about five minutes when you have them on the ropes their argument goes a little like this..."well its all about faith and either you have it or you don't, and if you don't you're going to hell." So they are so 100% sure that their programing is right they go into an infinite loop cycle that would make a robot explode.
Faith is the Antithesis of Reason
and is thus Reason becomes an anathema to these drones. The problem for them is that this is no longer the 14th century when religion last controlled reason. Science now reigns and these automatons and their theology is about 600 years behind the curve. Now they are fussing and fighting to drag us back to a time when religion ruled the world...a time politely referred to as the dark ages...

you wanna really get these angry little minions spinning in their pre-frontally challenged cranium? change the subject to their playground and ask them what they know of Theodicy?

when they begin to balk ask them to go back to their cult leader and ask him to satisfactorily explain this paradox. Then when they do ask them if God allows evil then is it good? Because isn't god good? maybe Lucifer was really trying to help us humans with Gods blessing just as Judas (we have now seen in the book of Judas) was the most beloved and the only one Jesus could TRUST to betray him and not back down.

"In a many dark hour
I've been thinkin' about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can't think for you
You'll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side."
