I get the stealing, lying, killing but what about such commandments and decrees as keeping the sabbath? Should we really consider working on a sunday to be such a damnable offence which God tells us deserved the punishment of death? Should we take sin to be limited to these things? People understnad that eating meat with cheese, or shellfish, or wearing linens and these types of sins may have been relevant durring the time when the bible was written but doesn't really apply to our modern world. I understand the concept of hermeneutics, that values should be applied to the times but then how can we judge what should or shouldnt be a sin in our modern era?[/QUOTE]
Ok, so you are ONLY 22, did not grow up in a Christian family, had no exposure to Biblical Scripture.......and yet you are versed on such things as you mention above?
Seriously? Yeah, I'm not buying what you are selling.......have a nice day
Good call! And, as you pointed out, he knows who Christopher Hitchens is. Anthony Flew, the noted atheist, who used to debate Christians came to believe in God before he died. I guess those debates really hit home! Sad they do not seem to have for Hitchens.
Here is a link to a youtube video debate with Hitchens and William Lane Craig, which even according to atheists, Craig won!

But then, if you are just here to troll, and think you can put doubt in our minds, you have obviously won't bother to watch a video which would challenge your basic assumptions - that Christians are stupid and have blind faith, and that you can sow doubt and discord here.
In fact, I challenge you to watch the video, and come back and apologize for trolling here. You may not believe in Jesus, to your eternal detriment, but at least you can acknowledge that Christians do have strong reasons to believe what we do!
