[Responding to someone who mentioned that the gospel writers were not eye-witnesses]

You have to big the biggest moron atheist on here. John 1, he point blank says "that our hands have held, that our eyes have seen".

They disciples were hand picked by Christ, and they make explicit claims to have been eyewitness
of him.

[The logic on the bus goes round and round...]

Monique Davis' African ancestors were not Christians; they had a different religion. They did not know that Jesus was the Lord. Now those ancestors spend each day in Hell, suffering unimaginable torture.
Fortunately for Monique, white people kidnapped some of her ancestors and brought them as slaves to America, where they were forcibly converted to Christianity; and this faith was passed on to her. If slave traders had not stolen her ancestors, Ms. Davis would be living in Africa now, worshipping false Gods, her eventual death resulting in her reunion with her ancestors -- in Hell.
Doesn't she owe the slave traders who kidnapped her ancestors a debt of gratitude for bringing salvation to her family? Shouldn't she express this gratitude publicly?

(Rep. Monique Davis on atheism)

Davis: It’s dangerous to the progression of this state. And it’s dangerous for our children to even know that your philosophy exists! Now you will go to court to fight kids to have the opportunity to be quiet for a minute. But damn if you’ll go to [court] to fight for them to keep guns out of their hands. I am fed up! Get out of that seat!

Sherman: Thank you for sharing your perspective with me, and I’m sure that if this matter does go to court---

Davis: You have no right to be here! We believe in something. You believe in destroying! You believe in destroying what this state was built upon.
