If you had been going to a mosque to try to get a Muslim girl to like you, what type of dream do you think you would have had?

Yeah, that's what I think, too.

Dogs flew spaceships! The Aztecs invented the vacation! Men and women are the same sex! Our forefathers took drugs! Your brain is not the boss!

Yes! That's right! Everything you know is wrong.

Hello seekers. Here we go again. And hello especially to the skeptic inside you who might still believe that pigs live in trees and that faithful Rover is nothing but a pet sleeping by the doggie door.

Well doggone it, he's smarter than you'll ever be. Yes, I've got proof here that his ancestors came from the Dog Star millions of years ago to rule the earth. He's been there, and you probably don't even know where you are.

You do realise that in order to 'feel love' you need glands?

Agreed.

I don't mean to be rude or nosy, but did it work?

Take it from someone who tried going to church to meet women back in his single years. Unless you're going Catholic, the quality isn't going to be worth it.

Just because we did not understand How God's miricals happened or how 'phrophets' were given over to dreams and visions 2000 or 3000 years ago does not mean we were Never meant to understand the nature of God's Natural universe.

Does this mean that you accept the fact of evolution? Being natural and all. No fucking miracles required.

Excellent advice Drich. Unintentional comedy is the best kind of comedy.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

This is why people hate christians. You contradict yourselves constantly. Back and forth you go.
You only see contradiction because you do not take the time to understand what is being said. You are quick to judge and slow to understand.

...and you are gullible, quick to accept and slow to question.

And yet when we tell you the same thing, that the reason is a logical observable scientific phenomena, you scoff and say we see what we want to see. Hypocrite.

Surprise surprise, same old response. As usual, no explanation or logical reason, simply the same old, "because I said so" bull shit.

Filthy stinking apologist.

So, if you hallucinated, and it was recorded as a natural phenomenon by scientific methods during a sleep study, you would still say "and therefore god". And if it WASN'T natural, of course, you'd say "and therefore god".
Because it is not about the how, something happens. It is about the why and what.

Quote:Well, what is the point of talking to you at all?
Appearently for you it is because you thought you could break my faith with a simple understanding of how dreams sometimes work.

Quote: Why are you here?
To answer questions that you all ask and to teach you things that you did not perveiously know about the God of the bible, the bible itself, or even the time period in which some of the events went down..

Quote: You clearly don't care to have actual discussions or to learn new things.
Appearently neither are you.

If God didn't do it, is always going to be your answer no matter what, then you are 100% closed minded.

Big Grin So is it your understanding that once an atheist always an atheist? Or are you simply upset because some atheist are open minded enough to follow the 'evidence' even if it leads to God?

I funny you say that because i did look into Islam as well, as buddhism, and hippy spiritualism, and found nothing other than what I put into it.

Just because some idiot converts to christianity doesn't mean anything. There are millions of christians ... there are millions of Muslims and Hindus too. People convert back and forth all the time. Newsflash: People are idiots. You belong with your own kind.
