Red Lobster dinner

Due to the overwhelming response for a free dinner at Red Lobster (for atheists), we have had to cap it.

That's it.

We have run out of money.

We will mail them out tomorrow and you should get the vouchers in a week or so.

"Except there is plenty of evidence for the theory of evolution, no matter how much you blog about it. Evolution happens right around you. Do you deny that new strains of bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics? Guess how that happens Ray."

I am continually being accused for not being educated on the theory of evolution, but most of its believers haven't any idea what it's about. Bacteria developing new strains of bacteria isn't evidence for evolution. The bacteria is still bacteria, n...

Free dinner

We would like to treat atheists to a free dinner at Red Lobster.

For those of you who have said that you would rather that we send the money to Haiti, we have already done that just after the earthquake. This is a small gift from Sue and myself for those of you who are feeling the economic pinch in this country, and you would like to go out for a free meal.

It's not a publicity stunt (it would be a pretty pathetic one). There is no ulterior motive. We care about you and want to show that our ...

"I didn't see Ray in that bar.....What's handing out play money have to do with the national debt? How many of those people were saved? It must suck to be in a business where one cannot quantify the success of the enterprise. Froggie"

Play money? We should have had you there when the Secret Service seized 8,000 of our Million Dollar bill tracts, saying that they looked too much like the real thing (that they were counterfeit).

Misplaced trust

"Rabbitpirate said...Let's play 'One of these things is not like the others'. Ok here we go: 1. Trust in Doctors, 2. Trust in Banks, 3. Trust in Pilots, 4. Trust in Mechanics, 5. Trust in God. Which of those things is not like the others? And the answer is....Number 5, Trust in God. All the others are based upon some form of evidence that allows them to demonstrate that they are trustworthy. A untrustworthy Bank would not get much business. An untrustworthy doctor would not get a lot of...

7. How can I be sure of my salvation?
The reality of your salvation will be directly in proportion to the authenticity of your repentance. If you fake it, you will certainly have a false conversion and eventually fall away from the faith.[1:] That was the experience of Judas Iscariot, and you don't want to follow in his steps.

The false convert (the hypocrite) is like a Christmas tree. He may look healthy and have ornamentation, but because he has no root, in time he will whither and die...

6. Is the Bible reliable?
The early Christians didn't have a "Bible," as we know it. The New Testament wasn't compiled. There was no such thing as the printing press. Few could read. Their salvation wasn't dependent upon the owing or even believing the Bible, but upon their relationship with the person of Jesus Christ . They heard a spoken message, believed it, put their trust in the living risen Jesus, and were converted by the power of the unseen God.

That was in the first century. In...

5. How do I approach Him to get the gift?
If I want to speak to a five-star General, I have to go to him on his terms. The importance of His rank demands it. When you and I come to God we have to come on His terms, and His stipulation is that we approach Him through humility and faith. This isn't an intellectual faith that He exists. When the Bible speaks of "faith" in God, it is referring to a "trust" in Him. There's a huge difference between the two.

Trust is the basis for many things ...

4. What has God done for this sinful and dying world?
The Bible compares us to lost sheep. We have "gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way." We have gone astray and live with our backs to God, but we are then told "and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all." What does that mean?

When I was about 8 years old I thought nothing of throwing a stone the full length of our street, just to see how far it would go. My problem was that I didn't understand that sometimes ac...
