Wow. Apparently there is much biblical evidence pointing to the existence of God. Who knew?

Damn! And here was me thinking it was just due to rationality.

I find it especially funny that they claim State churches are one of the reasons given their fierce opposition to separation of church and state.

This stuff is sad, I mean... ...
...*sigh*

It saddens me that this is what mainstream Christianity has become!  Is this site a joke? Bad relations with father is a cause of Atheism?

 

[Blue Lion]

Maybe they mean bad relations with THE father?

Don't delude yourself; this isn't "mainstream" by any sense.  Just about everyone I know who labels themselves "Christian" would find this to be as uproariously stupid as I do.

[jdjtcagle]

Don't get me wrong, I don't know if this is mainstream (politically) but I know its doctrine matches mainstream doctrine (and I do delude myself from mainstream doctrine.)  So I ask again is this a joke?

Cause you know, all we ever need to believe anything is biblical evidence

If they don't believe in Realitivity... what physics do they believe in?

God did it.

It's not a joke. It's a serious site.

However from what I've understood you do get the occasional article added by someone who is taking the piss. But the fact that they can't spot and remove those articles quickly shows once again that basically you can't tell the difference between fundamentalism and satire pretending to be it.

Don't delude yourself; this isn't "mainstream" by any sense.  Just about everyone I know who labels themselves "Christian" would find this to be as uproariously stupid as I do.

A lot of them would. But don't kid yourself about the numbers involved in this site. It's not a small number at all. 23,000 pages don't write themselves you know!

[Mefustae]

However, even if the claim is correct, rounding pi to 3 is not "incorrect," an "error" or "wrong" and is perfectly acceptable in some circumstances.

This is just too hilarious to be true.

11. overreliance on hearsay, a perception (often wrong) of what most people think, and a dependance on often outdated texts.

That is pretty good.

Oh, trust me, I know that there are many, many people out there who believe in this drivel, and every time I stop and realize this, it scares me half to death.  However, what this sort proclaims in the name of "Christianity" doesn't represent the real deal any more than Derek Smart listing the tenets of good game design.  Seriously, if someone out there is treating something like Genesis as a literal, scientifically-accurate work, in the words of the Internet, they're doing it wrong.

Yeah but my point is that these people do call themselves Christians. And I'm sad to say that they are the majority (at least in the USA). Pretty much everything I've seen puts the number of Young Earth Creationists far in the lead of Old Earth Creationists. You can't just dismiss these people as fringe idiots. More than 50% of American Christians believe that the Earth is between 6,000 and 10,000 years old. They seem to have either somehow decided that's correct even though they all know the word dinosaur.

 So until you can prove that there are more Christians who find this site laughable than not I'm not buying it. Cause mainstream Christianity in America has already shown a laughable ability to disregard even pretty obvious logical flaws.

[BlueFlames]

Okay, Christianity has enough people defending it that I really don't like adding myself to the stack in any capacity, but...

More than 50% of American Christians believe that the Earth is between 6,000 and 10,000 years old.

...do you have a source for that statistic, or is it pure supposition?

[Polpolion]

According to this site, a cause of Atheism is a "learned time". Coincidence?

And:

More than 50% of American Christians believe that the Earth is between 6,000 and 10,000 years old.

I am interested to know A) what polling institute made that statement, and B) what method of polling they used. Because that statement is laughably ridiculous, and it is quite easy to skew a people's majority belief with incorrectly done polling. IMHO it's reasonable to conjecture (with my current knowledge) that that statement is false.

Three words.

Positive Response Bias

Not much of a bias article.

[Mars]

Groups having a low liberal quotient would include a trade association of small business owners, an association of Christian athletes, and worshipers at church on an ordinary Sunday, with the exception of black protestant congregations [3].

That just infuriates me. These people are attempting to suggest that every church, from a stereotypical Southern Baptist setup to a modern Catholic church, have equal opinions.
