Well are there thousands of people out there claiming to have real encounters with Santa? No. Cmon some common sense is at play here. If you are going to claim something against a majority opinion then yea the onus is on you to back it up.

Once again, you prove to be anti-Christian in every post. Stop insulting me about my intelligence. It's disgusting.

I don't know if someone already said it in this thread, but: the forbidden fruit is the sweetest. If those men had not been brought up with so many sexual hang-ups, they would not develop an addiction. Sex and sexual desire are perfectly normal and natural. It has been hardwired into humans by the Creator himself (if you believe in the Creator that is). Everybody has it. Struggling against it and trying to push it under a rug will not make it go away, it will only make one a sad, perpetually depressed human.

I have always found it most difficult to do the impossible, regardless of what other's believe.

Stop making moronic posts and they will have no ammo.

The "research" has zero credibility.
Every single topic the Barna Group discusses is about loss of faith.
I do not believe the numbers, especially on adultery.
No serious statistician can trust their work.


David Kinnaman is president and majority owner of Barna Group. He is the author of the bestselling books, You Lost Me and unChristian.

You think jeff is worried about credibility? That word is not in the fundamentalist's playbook. I truly believe most of the stuff fundamentalists hurl at us is done with tongue in cheek.

Sweet gentle little Snowball, you haven't done your homework as usual. Kinnamen is a committed Christian who's invited constantly by Christian groups to speak at their forums. His focus in "You Lost Me" is to find ways to stop youth from leaving Christianity, not encourage it.

Be that as it may, you are still so loveable and cute I just want to squeeze you till your adorable little eyes bulge.

You've got to be kidding me, they , non-believers are not here seeking truth or at least most that I have read, they are here to destroy the truth. They feel if they can bring one person(believer) down they have done their job by confusing them about what is righteous.

Proof and existence does come by reading and understanding the word and having faith in God but that only comes from an individual spiritual basis. I know a non-believer is not going to have proof for me and they are not going to be sufficed by the proof I give them. They will try to rile you with their sharp-tongued remarks, hey this ain't my first rodeo , I have seen about every comment known to man on this forum so I know about what most responses will be and not surprised by the immoral statements I read as without a bible where is a moral compass.

If one is not in to the bible, they are not a part of God, they are on the outside looking out as pretend Christians, the Bible is all we need, not the Tanakh or the Koran but the Holy Bible.
