Well I had a look and I could see nothing about Stephen Hawking arging for a flat earth other than a looney conspiracy theory that he was being paid to cover it up and a flat earth believer site saying that he doesn't argue for a flat earth but says we'll have to leave this round one or die.

So you'd better substantiate that claim with some examples, or withreraw the claim or lose significat respectability, which i can tell you is in a knife ege right now.

And Lane Craig has been debunked too many times for me to want to watch a video of him speaking. If he is making any points worth following up, please whet our interest.

I tired to remain on track several posts ago by asking you to point out specific post numbers in this thread where you feel Christ was being discredited. Not religion. Not religious people. But Christ himself. You didn't respond.

You still may.

I thought the OP opened this thread because of discredit of Christ found in the Christianity subforum - not this thread.

Okay. But you're missing the point. The OP is welcome to show us specific posts where CHRIST is discredited. I won't say there aren't any in the overall forum, but they are very few and far between. Yet, he says there are "so many atheists come out of their way to come here to attempt to discredit Christ". I haven't seen many at all.

He'd be hard-pressed to find any examples there either.

When I was a Christian I came to this forum. Now that I'm not a Christian I still come to this forum.

Conclusion: I like the subject.

Ah! So would that be the same as people like Stalin, Pol Pot, Mao etc not being 'real' atheists?

If I were an atheist, I wouldn't care. Nothing like this would matter.

I mean, why would I care about what someone else believes?

In fact, some of them can get downright rude about it. But for some reason, atheists feel they have the right to do it.

Could it be they are searching for the truth?

Or maybe they see the truth, but they're fighting to submit to the one true God?

For all the atheists who lurk here, what do you say?
Doesn't matter.
Trying to discredit that Man is like trying to discredit gravity, or the Sun.
His effect is undeniable and irrefutable. So influential, we mark the date by his birth...and the example for conduct and interaction that is the standard by which all others are judged.
Any attempt to discredit just makes them look biased and foolish.
They only do it out of ignorance or angst. Though it is amusing at times to read some of it.

The number of reported rapes in Sweden has risen. But the definition of rape has broadened over time, which makes it difficult to compare the figures. It is also misleading to compare the figures with other countries, as many acts that are considered rape under Swedish law are not considered rape in many other countries.

For example: If a woman in Sweden reports that she has been raped by her husband every night for a year, that is counted as 365 separate offences; in most other countries this would be registered as a single offence, or would not be registered as an offence at all.

Willingness to report such offences also differs dramatically between countries. A culture in which these crimes are talked about openly, and victims are not blamed, will also have more cases reported. Sweden has made a conscious effort to encourage women to report any offence.
