Lets start this out by defining the TITLE for you. “Debunking Christianity” is not the title of this article specifically (which I hoped you picked up by the addition of roman numerals) and not the goal of any one individual article. It is impossible to “debunk” any system of belief in a single article, I figure you know this already? The goal of the SERIES is to ultimately culminate a series of points and arguments that when tied together, shed serious doubt on the religion as a belief system. I chose “Debunking Christianity” primarily because it was a very catchy, weighty, and ambitious title, not because it defined my exact goal of any individual article. You actually have divined the purpose of this specific article–to point out discrepancies–but you have failed to grasp its intent.

One of the first and most necessary steps in getting to the core of the various problems with Christianity is to examine its misunderstandings, mistranslations, misinterpretations, etc. It only takes one or two crazy assumptions or errors to start something like the Branch-Davidians, or many of the fundamentalist Evangelical currents flowing today. We need to find the source of these problems and begin to question and search. Some of the things I have provided in this and subsequent articles can act as instigators to deeper research and questioning. I only ask that the reader read, and think about what I have said. I care little whether or not they agree with me or believe that my interpretations are “correct”. One thing, but not the only, I mention in this article specifically is that the Bible is not the only book of truth, which is a core dogma in many Christian sects. You can argue that its not part of your sect, or you don’t believe that, or its not true Christianity… but the fact is, regardless of whether or not that idea is really true Christianity, it is masquerading under the guise of true Christianity, and it is these destructive ideas I oppose. From the get go I have a feeling that on much of our views we may not be really “against” each other.

Now for your first and slightly more rude comment:
I think you misread my wording quite a bit. By “obscure” I meant when you said: “You surely have not gone through Genesis 6 did ya? What about 2 Peter and Jude? Anyways, don’t puzzle Anath, I will explain it in the word document.”
Obscure does not always imply the certain type of obscurity that you define my article by where I used less common sources that the average reader may not have heard of. The “obscure” definition I was utilizing in my comment fell more along the lines of “not clear, not plain, ambiguous, hard to perceive, not clear to understanding, not expressing the meaning plainly or clearly”, because your wording of “oh don’t puzzle…” and references without any comments was in fact quite ambiguous. However based on the wording of my reply I felt that obscure flowed considerably better than “ambiguous” and was a much more fitting term as it embodies many layers of meaning I wished to capture. I always choose my words carefully.

My reasoning for choosing “arrogant” fell along those same lines. By purposefully obscuring your meaning with the seeming purpose of a condescending tone, you exhibited the quality of “making claims or pretensions to superior importance or rights”, which is the first definition of the term “arrogant” on dictionary.com, if you would like to check for yourself. By implying that you knew more than me on a subject in a condescending way specifically through wording, that is arrogance. Yes, I know the word “Nephilim” is present in Genesis 6, but I do not know what you wish to prove with it? I brought up in the article that Nephilim was a plural word due to its suffix “-im”. Unless you have greater knowledge of Hebrew and can prove and back up that the suffix “-im” does not indicate a plurality, I fail to see what you intend on proving. Regardless, I will wait and see your point, just don’t be surprised if I shrug and say “that doesn’t have anything to do with this article…”

Though I am flattered by the idea that you think “hundreds” of people believe me. I had no idea this article had reached a page count of over 20…

Yeah, well Anath, this will be “one-on-one”, I don’t want to start posting treads and try to keep up with it and reply to comments…I don’t have time for that. All I wanted, as I said in my first comment is to reply to your article (and now both of them – part 1 and 2).

BTW, I don’t take this as a debate. My point is NOT to debate, but only to show you the errors I noticed in your articles for you to reconsider your research, to show you that you have not debunked Christianity as this is the supposed purpose of your articles.

1Peter 3:15 : But dedicate your lives to Christ as Lord. Always be ready to defend your confidence in God when anyone asks you to explain it. However, make your defense with gentleness and respect. —> This applies to both of us.

Good night.

If you begin this debate by taking on an arrogant, holier-than-thou tone, no one will take you seriously. I hope for your sake your word document will not be as purposefully obscure and condescending as your comment.

How about you stop using the word “Arrogant” without knowing what it means and mis-applying it to people. I could infer I lot of things by the way you wrote your article which did not debunk anything but false assumptions, instead of the real christianity of the Bible?

I will not critize you nor your writing style in my reply, I will only go against your research, conclusion and false assertions that you came up with. I will not attack you, but rather your points.

As if your article was not obscure either… No one after doing a thorough research and lived the Christian life can take seriously with what you came up with Anath, and yet hundreds of people believe you. You started to stir up things for nothing.

Anath, you have not debunked anything at all. I’ll include this one too in my reply of “Debunking Christianity II”. You take those Biblical passages extremely out of context without even realizing what you wanted to read into biblical text. You surely have not gone through Genesis 6 did ya? What about 2 Peter and Jude? Anyways, don’t puzzle Anath, I will explain it in the word document.

Note also that it is not an intellectual reading! At least, it is not limited to that…
