Debate With A Protestant Part 2.

In a recent debate with a Protestant Christian, I brought up the 11 year old girl dying because her family decided to pray for her instead of give her the necessary medicine needed to safe her life. Below is the ensuing debate that followed:

Prot: God gave us medicine and medical care to help us as well. Prayer works don't get me wrong but there isn't anything wrong or anything ungodly about getting the correct medical care.

Sorry but people aren't perfect, and people make mistakes and I find it funny how people use incidents like these to not believe in God but with all the medicines that are taken off the market (like the anti depressants that make you MORE depressed) and all the medicines that cause all these deadly side effects they sure don't lose faith in medical care.

Sin: We don't use silly arguments to not believe in God. We use arguments like this to show others how utterly retarded theists can be when they take a 2000 year old book literally.

Prot: So why don't you do the same with medical science? That's had plenty of errors and deaths and deformations etc. etc. etc.

Sin: I do. However, there aren't millions of medical scientist running around saying, "You have to take this medicine or you will burn in hell!"

Prot: But at any given time there are (not a million) probably thousands of medical scientists running around saying TAKE MEDICINE X for ILLENSS(Sic) Y OR YOU WILL DIE! Not exactly identical but you get the picture right?

Sin: And in most cases, medicine "X" is needed. In zero cases is anyone going to burn in eternal damnation.

Prot: Really in most cases? Is that why medicines are taken off the market? Because they're needed? But those errors are acceptable, right?

Sin: You're talking about a fraction of the medicines that are on the market, and those medicines are removed accordingly.

Hence: Christianity should be removed accordingly. It's a bad medicine.

Protestant Logic

Below is an excerpt from a debate I was participating in with a Protestant Christian.

Prot: God created the universe from nothing. Thats what Ive been saying.

Sin: Why does the universe need a creator when God doesn't?

Prot: Because the universe was CREATED by God.

Sin: If God can exists without a creator then why can't the universe?

Prot: Because the universe was CREATED.

Sin: ...

Prot: The universe needs a creator because it was created. How hard is that? The universe can't exist without a creator because it was created.


You have to admire the circular logic.
