I have "faith" that the sun will rise tomorrow, because of the nature of "reasonable" thinking.

Do I have faith that the sun will rise because God says it would? No I have faith that the sun will rise because we live on a planet that orbits the sun.

You on the other hand would say the sun rose because God made it so.

I not going to say that I understand the nature of faith, I just refuse to suspend my critical thinking skills and submit to a kind of voluntary, self-imposed frontal lobotomy.

Well for one, I would say the sun will rise because the earths axis and rotation around the sun makes it so.

Not everyone who believes in the Bible disregard science, man.

Well that is understandable thay didnt have faith in Christ when he was standing right in front of them but I dont think it was because thay thought the people that diid were mentaly impaired.

I think it was because thay refused the truth which is ok because I can honestly say with all honesty that someday you will have more proof than you might want.

But nontheless it will be your reality.

BTW, non-christians handily outnumber christians on this planet. So thinking you're in the right because the numbers are on your side is hubris to the point of folly. Aside from simply being wrong.
Those other false religions do not answer all of the personal and scientific questions that Christianity does. You actually compare Einstein to Jesus. That is pathetic. Jesus raised the dead and saved all mankind. Einstein wrote about wood.

But there IS a Santa Clause. I saw him at the Mall just this weekend.

I'd give that burning bibles a try. I don't think it would be as big as an A bomb. But we'll have some fun.

Burning Bibles and the atom bomb are from the Devil. Devilish behavior both and entertainment for his disciples.

The laws of man dictate Djack can burn a Bible if he wants. Doesn't the Bible say to obey the laws of man?

Only as long as they do not go against God. And burning a Bible would clearly go against God. A sacrilege.

The Bible is a book. Personally I am against any book being burned, but it's not the book that makes the message.
