I'm starting to think that all religions are false , and that there is no point to anything... If YEC isn't true , than christianity isn't true , and if christianity isn't true , than nothing is..
Therefore YEC must be true , or else i'm living at fault

Actually, if YEC isn't true, then ... YEC isn't true. That's it. This does not automatically disqualify the entire historicity of the Bible. (That takes longer -- but if you like, we can address that later.) Just take each phenomenon on its own merits (or lack thereof), rather than force everything to hinge on a single, obviously falsifiable, tenet.

He shoots .... HE SCORES!
(And, David, yes - if the 6-day creation is false, then the entire premise of the Bible is undercut. Any other historicity becomes irrelevant ... because Jesus' geneology (whichever one you prefer) becomes false, and you now have no basis for the God-man.)
We all have delusions we base our lives around, and if/when those delusions are shattered, it can be a pretty hard thing to handle, at least until you find new delusions. Denial is a very common defence mechanism, that will allow RichardT to not want to kill himself. With time and quite possibly, RichardT could actually come to grips with the fact that he has been living a lie all his life, and will possibly realize that life is it's own reward.
I wouldn't say that if YEC isn't true, then christianity (as a whole) is necessarily untrue as well.
Sure, the credibility takes a hit, and sure they ARE both untrue, but, basically, the causality goes the other way.
With guys like you Richard, it's amazing that Christianity lasted 200 years, let alone 2000. I'm amazed that you'd chuck out the whole book instead of the common sense rules you could distill out of reading the bible... oh yeah, you've probably never done that either.
YES!! ALL religions are false! That is exactly what you need to understand! Christianity is just another religion based on a dead-and-resurrected sun god, and nothing more. The stories in the Bible are fables, myths, and astrotheological allegories. Do you really believe a donkey talked, the sun and moon stood still, a man heard the voice of a god from within a burning bush, this same man parted a sea, and all the other silly stories of the Bible? If similar stories appear in other religions, you are quick to label them as the ridiculous nonsense that they truly are. Why can you not see the same truth about the Bible?
I have thought more about it , and decided that YEC is true , and chritianity is true .. So you wouldn't have to worry about me...
Also , I probably do think much more than you do, but i'm less educated on alot of subjects that you might be more educated in, which is the reason why sometimes I would say unreasonable things...
This post I made was not supposed to be an argument against scoffers , it was while I was depressed at the possibility that it could have been all a lie... Which I realize now isin't a lie...
Can it noobs....
Arrogant about our little fundie faux theory aren't we? Christianity is equally true, with or without all the idiocies fundies throw into it to fuck it up(YEC, rapture, "saved", "born-again", creationism, literal interpretation. KJB worship).
RichardT, could you explain to us how you came to the conclusion that is actually isn't all a lie ??
I'd also personally like to know how Christianity being untrue automatically makes everything else untrue. I'm not trying to be mean here honest but you can't just say, 'This wasn't supposed to be an argument against the scoffers' and expect not to have it questioned. It's about presenting a consistent worldview that can always be held up to questioning.
This is an interesting post. He postulates that if YEC isn't true, then christianity isn't true. But most christians don't accept YEC, and have no problems. However, he's pretty close with the 'all religions are false' and 'i'm living at fault'. You are so close, Richard, just take that last step, and you've got it. But, if you're basing your faith on YEC, then you don't have a strong base to begin with. Either give it up, or find more than just a fairy tale to base it on.
Aren't there Christians who believe in an old world?
What about the relgions that are older than Christianity?
Plus, not everything is in either black or white. There might be things within Christianity that are true, even though the whole religion is mostly a myth.
Then =/= Than
If YEC isn't true , than christianity isn't true
Close, but no cigar. There are more reasons why christianity isn't true.
and if christianity isn't true , than nothing is..
Wrong. Christianity hasn't a monopoly on "truth". There are things which are a thousand times better.
Therefore YEC must be true , or else i'm living at fault
Why not try secular humanism, science and atheism?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
