Not the whole Bible, just one or two books in the Bible. And even so, they're books written thousands of years ago by dead people who didn't know any better, GC. They're not words spoken or written to you directly from God.

 Sure they were written to myself and everyone else, that's exactly why the Bible exists to today and will always exist. What do you mean they didn't know better, I'm setting here watching a show on how we still can't understand how people built some of the greatest monuments of the ancient world.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

At least I'm not you. I take exceptional comfort in the fact. Self-righteous cunt.

 The only reason I can be called righteous is because of what Christ did and the grace of God and then I'm only righteous in the sight of God. If you do not change and come to know Christ one day you will wish you were who I am.

 Actually it's what I know as truth and fact.

You don't know anything if your jusitification is "you can't prove it isn't". That's the argument from ignorance, yet again. And it works on any utter gibberish I can produce that can't be demonstrated to be false.

I don't know what you're doing here GC, or why you've been here all this time, but if you ever want to convince us of anything, you need to learn some basic logic. You make the same mistake in thinking over and over and over and over. Until you address it, no one will ever take you seriously. If you don't care about being taken seriously, then I have to wonder what your goal is here. You don't need to convince us that you believe this stuff. We'll take you right at your word there.

Think of it like going to another country. If you want to spread your ideas, and "save" people from their naive ways, you have to be able to communicate. You need to learn their language. Right now, you're still talking in your own language. The sceptics language is one of logic and reason. If you don't learn them, don't even try, you're ranting in some foreign tongue and wasting your time.

I'm sure getting a lot of mileage out of this video.

 That statement still does not say that it will not happen and you have no proof to the contrary of the Bibles statement.

I do.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
