So have I and you are still not all knowing and your insults still won't elevate you to a place where you are above your own sin.
Since you have come to the conclusion that there is no God then you either don't know enough or are rejecting what you do know. You will still be held accountable for that knowledge.
Your lack of understand of His love doesn't make you right. Yes, He will send you to hell because of your choice to be evil. 
Ha! God is not a boogey-man and you trying to diminish Him or lie to yourself by saying that I am threatening you won't save you. I am warning you and you know it. Play this game if you wish. 
You lack understanding of who God is and instead of humbling yourself you cling to your sin. You play the game and you will lose your soul.  You can pretend to be justified in your judgement of God but you don't know what perfect is. You don't know God so your judgement of Him and His ways are faulty and flawed. 
You have read your bible right? 1 Corth 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
I don't care what is sounds like it is the truth. You can't say what is immoral or abominable your morals are only at the whims of your own mind which changes. You lack the knowledge or the moral fortitude and purity to judge what is good. 
Lie to yourself if you wish.

Lie to yourself if you wish you lack the knowledge, ability, clarity, understanding of humans and God to make this judgement. All you have said comes from you pride and your wish to justify yourself. Play the game if you choose. 
Ha  I love you man, God is perfect and has no evil in Him. You just admitted that God does speak so you have someone you must give an account to. 


Good old deflections.
Gal 6:7-8 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life

More pretending that you are above God and understand all things. This won't justify you.

Yes you do and so do I and it is only God mercy that keeps me from receiving His wrath. It is pretty f-up because you are, no I am not here to build your self-esteem, so am I but I am getting help and you are dieing in your sin. It is out of God's mercy that you can be saved. You can pretend you have it together and that you aren't a sinner. Lose you soul in your foolish game. 

Deflections, lies, mockery none of it will save you.

Lies you don't know everything so you can't honestly make this statement. You will be held accountable for you lies and the truth that you are currently suppressing.
 

You are enjoyable. I love you man and if you keep lying to yourself you will die in your sins.
Nope not Pascal's Wager and I am sorry that you thought that. It is a definite thing, God rule, reigns, and will judge because this world needs to be purified and if you choose sin you will be removed from it. I don't need to prove anything because you know. 
The difference between their book and mine is there isn't the word of God and the fact that you fail to accept that doesn't justify you. 
You have know idea what is happening in the heart of people who are reading this. 
Also if I could convince someone then they can be unconvinced this isn't what this is. You are dead spiritually in your sin and what you need is a to move from death to life. My words don't have that power only God can give life. So if it is His will that people who are reading this wishe to stop living in their sin and follow after Him then they will receive new life through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross for their sins. 
YO, dude there are true christian and the only reason you don't want there to be is so that you can justify your rejection of God. I don't know what you saw in your church, but there are people who know the God of the universe. Your past pain and misunderstanding will not justify you on the day of wrath. 
You pride is your problem. Your knowledge about the bible and what is says will never save you. 
Casting out demon is not a proof that you were a christian Matt 7:22-23 "Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'
The fact that you are judging my walk with God against your form of christianity proves that you don't get what this is and you never did. This isn't a resume thing about the level of "holiness" you achieved and how much stuff you did. This is about God and His glory.

That's a lot of bible, a lot of asserting, and a lot of not addressing what I said. You keep threatening me with your bully god, and yet you keep failing to provide any reason to believe he's real. I am not scared of your imaginary friend, and I have no reason to be.


The problem with you is that your only source of truth is a dusty old book. It doesn't matter what anybody says about what they believed or what they practiced; your book and your pastor says they weren't for real, so you blindly believe that instead of listening to the people talking to you, who know themselves and their hearts better than you ever could. It doesn't matter what evidence exists in objective reality; your book and your pastor say that an invisible man named Jehovah exists, and you blindly believe that instead of thinking critically about those claims.


You've failed, and so has your supposedly all-powerful Gaud. I'd tell you to let that sink in, but at this point I'm pretty sure nothing sinks into that bony skull of yours.

You cannot cherry pick the pleasant things in your bible and continue to ignore the fact that your god murdered thousands of innocent men, women, children and infants. You cannot ignore the fact that your god sent plagues to people and tortured them needlessly. He flooded a whole goddamn planet and wiped out everythingon earth except a select few lucky humans and animals. He's told his believers to kill their own children for his sake.

If you're going to believe that your god is loving then you must also believe your god is a deceiver, is cruel, unfair, biased, narcissistic, a murderer, a proponent of human trafficking, slavery and is misogynistic, along with a whole bunch of other unpleasant things.

If you refuse to believe that, then you are more brainwashed and more far gone than we realize.
And I feel sorry for you.

For the rest of us who actually live in reality, we are the fortunate ones who will never have to experience the evilness that is your "god".

^^ THIS ^^  In spades.  Bravo, Redbeard.  Rekeisha can't think and can't read the wholly babble and see it for what it is because she's terrified. She thinks that it would be a sin. She thinks gawd gave her a brain only for the reason to sing Jeebus songs with her peeps in church.  

"Gal 6:7-8 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked"  
 
Ok. That sick moronic evil book you worship?  bibviz.com can show you over 600 comparative scriptures where the silly book of myths disagrees with itself. (But of course, you won't go check it out because your "loving" imaginary sky-daddy will fry you forever it you do. Well, then, don't look at the next tiny little list either, your feet will start to burn.

And now you won't even look up those verses because as an atheist (who has most of the evil book memorized) I'm simply WRONG. 

God doesn't exist. Verse 29 in Mark 3 states that there is one sin considered eternal and that is "blasphemy against the Holy Spirit". Ok, the Holy Spirit doesn't exist either, and the concept sucks rancid pond scum.  So now I have happily committed the unforgivable sin and I don't have to put up with this bullshit anymore.

For the rest of us who actually live in reality, we are the fortunate ones who will never have to experience the evilness that is your "god".

Do you understand the narrative of the Bible? Since you made your statement above I don't think you do.  The entire law was a "schoolmaster" to let the jews know that you can't fulfill the law without the spirit of God. It is a tool to bring about humility. So that we can see that we are a sinners in need of grace from God. That grace came through the cross when Jesus died for our sins. Now that I have accepted God I am under the law of the Spirit. I have new desires and those desires move me toward the things of God. Also I have already talked about slavery you are assuming that the slavery spoken about in the laws was the same as those around Judaism and or in America past or even today.

You shouldn't lie to yourself and misread the Bible and create a false god to disbelieve in, it won't save you. I believe and know the true and living God. He isn't like us and your small thoughts about Him will not bring Him down, but instead it will keep you enslaved to your sin and self delusion. 

So like I said to Redbeard your belief system can't explain reality, it can't give you worth, it can't give you objective truth. You pretend that you understand reality. Your system is shallow and will not be able to support you when you truly need real answers about the heard and difficult question you have. You are blindly following everyone else around pretending that one day you will not have to give an account for you actions. God is gracious actually He is rich in grace. The fact that you have the opportunity to type your blasphemous words about Him shows His kindness. Play the game if you wish but it will cost you your soul. Pretend to be more enlightened than I am but it will not save you. Only God can.

I know God He isn't some shallow idea maybe your religion was but He isn't. The heart is deceitful one day it likes this one thing one day it doesn't. Why do you believe in your heart anyway? Is it because the culture around you tells you that to know yourself you must trust in your heart? The deal is God is real not superficial and can handle not only reality but your hardest deepest problems. Your belief system can't give you worth, it can give you a reason for existence, it can give you a bases on which to judge. You are the one with no objective truth. You are the one who has to rely on society to give you anything. You are the one lost and blind and the only way to reality is through the saving grace of God. 

My friend I have not failed you don't even know what the objective is. You don't know the future and you hardly understand the past. You don't have a clear view of anything. God is in full control and He never fails. His word is good. He can save you from your sin through the blood of Jesus or you can be judged in your sin. 

Again trying to place yourself above me with your pretense of intellectual superiority will not save you. You need humility. Love you dude hope you have a fantastic night!
