SKEPTIC:  Come on, you can’t tell me you believe everything in the bible.

BELIEVER:  Like the bumper sticker says:  “God said it.  I believe it.  And that’s that.

SKEPTIC:  Yikes!  All of it?  Hey, wait a minute, didn’t I see you eat a ham sandwich for lunch?

BELIEVER:  Yeah, what about it?

SKEPTIC:  Isn’t that disallowed in the Old Testament?

BELIEVER:  Oh that’s just old fashioned stuff.  Nobody believes that anymore.

SKEPTIC:  Except for the Jewish folks, of course.

BELIEVER:  Of course.

SKEPTIC:  But you believe in the ten commandments, right?

BELIEVER:  Well, yeah.  There’s a reason why they’re called commandments and not the “ten suggestions.”

SKEPTIC:  So how do you decide what parts to follow, and what not?

BELIEVER:  I dunno.  Whatever still works, I guess.

SKEPTIC:  I’m glad you don’t believe in everything in the bible, because I like football.

BELIEVER:  There you go again, speaking in secret code.  What does football have to do with the Old Testament?

SKEPTIC:  I just wouldn’t want all the NFL players to be stoned to death for working on the Sabbath.

BELIEVER:  That’s the last time I invite you over for the Superbowl.

SKEPTIC:   (sigh) It gets lonely in an evidence-based universe.

This dialogue writing between the believer and the skeptic went so interesting and contains a lesson in it. This should be taught in the church everyday which will help many of the people. I think you need to post this kind of topics constantly.
