There must be something in it when a lot of followers are willing to blow themselves up.

Right?

I don't know.

Unitism, the religion I discovered/ created myself, promises you much less hassle than 40 virgins after death.
Think of constant bless of 40 experienced prosititutes, times infinity.

Who wants to spend eternity playing D&D anyways?

It never ceases to amaze me how theists have all the answers to the universes deepest mysteries.

What would really galvanise me is if a theist said: I hear you Jim, but I cannot speak or think for God, so I cannot answer your question. I'm sorry.

So who needs a god anyway when we've got billions of little god clones walking around with all the answers.

If Trump invited you to the white house and you did not go, does it mean he is personally obligated to win your approval so that you will then go through the vetting process to meet Him at the white House?

God tell all of us where and how to find him. It's an open invitation. That said He is not in the business of courting parishners.

Quote:I mean, I'm not taken! I'm freelance! Never been intimate with any other god…
I'm divinely virgin.

That's the thing with billionre presidents... As well as God. we go to them they do not come to us.

Quote:Also, while I got you slippery little suckers, tell us why Allah has not tried to poach you (Christian) to his way of thinking?

What does he have to offer? one of the finest nail bomb vests and a crowed market to prove our devotion in?
50 God rejected "virgins?" (no disrespect intended)

Quote:Does sweet baby Jesus protect you with a cloaking device so no other god can approach you?

Does he wee on you with his cosmic scent to let the other gods know you're his?

Don't be jelly.

Quote:All religions claim that they are the only one true religion?

nope.

Quote:(I'm not a maths genius, but that makes a lot of true correct religions, wow!)

most religions claim to be the way to something devine or spiritual, and usally the only way to that one thing. which is usally true. as they have the copyright on that thing.

Jew worship the one true God.
Christian seek atonement through to live with God Forever
Muslims worship allah to find paradise.
Buddhists one form of enlightenment or another.
hindus worship a butt load of god and demi gods as a means to curry favor.

So no, no one worships one true religion. all worship to suit their own means.

Quote:Doesn't it sound a bit like sleazy used car salesman talk?
Oh well, I suppose there's a sucker born every minute...

It does what you create a strawman and attack it like you did.

Yes, I do. It's called the Bible.

A demonstrably erronous, sef-conttsdictory book is a sign of divinity?

Are you going to try to sell me a bridge too?

I think it would be just wrong to accuse black holes -for example- or the sun in a dark night -as an other example- for not showing themselves.

If the sun -for example- showed itself in front of you, you will evaporate. 
If a black hole -for example- showed itself in front of you, you'll evaporate.

Theists claim that God is the creator of these celestial bodies; let alone the Islamic claim that 7 heavens exist; or with the humble science we have we can interpret that as 7 universes ? it's a scientific fact that such universes probably exist; to infinity even.

It just arrogant to expect the creator of all of that to appear in front of you. You can see hollywood stars on T.V only; they never appear in front of me. I know they exist because prophets of the media told me via T.V. I believe in God just like the prophets told me via holy books.

I can see the work of God around me; just like I see the work of Edward Norton. 
It's an argument from design at its best. I just think it's quite not right to believe movie sets and neglect holy books and celestial evidence.

It would be silly to accuse mindless things of anything....are we discussing a mindless thing..like the sun, or a black hole?

What arrogance is there? God has, purportedly, shown himself before...-and now-...to all of these believers.....hell....you just said that you see god in a roundabout way......?

Who believes movie sets...................................and do you really want to invite comparison between one work of fiction and another, and the people who believe in either?

Theists, tell me, an atheist, why  your God has neglected to show himself to me?

Are you in an iron chariot ??

It's the pins in my legs and my polyblend pants, obviously.  God hates cripples in comfy clothes.

No; I didn't "see" God; but I'm sure that "He is there".
Just like believing a movie was recorded; because I saw it and used cameras myself.

There's the personal, Humanoid God, I never believe in such thing. "Thinking" and applying the human prescriptive on him is where I think and believe faith gets twisted into the hideous forms we see mainly.

Once we begin applying human traits on God; we lose the way.

But god himself has personified himself to relate to us.
What else do we have to go by other than a god with human traits?
Are you saying people make stuff up by extrapolating? On whose authority?

If god hates gays, why did he create them gay?
