Nice

Your posts are full of pride and arrogance yet you claim not to be prideful. Then you claim you know yourself well. Either you don't know yourself well, or you know you're prideful and making a dishonest claim of humility.

And, learn to quote. It makes conversations much easier. Just click "reply" to quote a post.

Neither. I come off as a robot. Always have. Aquarius I guess

No, you come off as very prideful and arrogant.

Call this into question

What, the early form of Jewish mysticism centered around visions and stories of etherial places and people ascending to them? That Merkabah? What of it? It's every bit as preposterous as the un-evidenced claims forwarded by any religion. Hallucinations are not a source of evidence, nor are hearsay manuscripts from the bronze age.

You do know it's also an inherently religious group who whole-heartedly believes that they are doing Allah's will, and that you are an infidel who believes in the wrong god and deserves to die, right? Neither of you has evidence of your claims; the only real difference is that they're violent, and I presume you're not. Your fallacious beliefs aren't more valid just because you don't use them for terrorism.

And you're absolutely right, they are manipulated by man and not god...just like every other religious person. There is no god. It's all man's influence wearing a very expensive mask.

Nonsense.

I have spoken with men of Islam and they have agreed with me. In the Quaran it actually tells them that although true belivers in foreign land have slightly different views and may not pray in the same manner that they are indeed your brothers and expressly not infidels. Man is corruption. True religion is the rightious path aligned with all creation. Your closed mindedness will surely be your downfall.
I hope the light comes into your third eye and all others.

I also enjoy being in the lot of those who stand up and ask for just ONE little bit of factual and non-biblical based evidence to support the bullshit argument that an entity who has never shown himself (especially in the last 2000 or so years) is real. This isn't about having blind faith or free will. This isn't about personal experiences. This isn't about his "plan". This is about logic, common sense and the ability to understand the difference between reality and imagination.
It is hard to accept that an entity, supposedly responsible for the creation of ALL of life....
who was the first to cause mass genocide,
the one who commanded that slavery is okay,
who is a baby killer,
who tells you what you can't eat,
who said that you can't covet your neighbor's wife but who killed a man for refusing to impregnate his dead brother's wife,
who is narcissistic in that he uses spending eternity in hell as an ultimatum if you don't obey or worship him,
Who commands that a wife obey her husband (even if he rapes her),
Refuses to rid the world of its starvation and hunger issues,
will not regrow an amputated or missing body part without the aid or use of science and/or medicine.
And last but certainly not least, refuses to abolish cancer and other deadly diseases ....
Loves his people?

So God isn't who you think he should be? You think it's bad when he won't regrow an amputated arm? He won't even regrow hair on my scalp. If we accept him, then we accept him as he is, not as what we want him to be. If you don't believe in him because you see no evidence for him, that's okay. But not liking what he does or how he made the earth to be is not evidence against the existence of God.

Why do you people always try to preach to the non-believers in this forum. Seriously, you are waaay outnumbered here and honestly, the second you start doing that, I tune you out.
I don't have to accept "him" on this or any other realm or plane or planet because he's not real. But just because I don't believe in the reality of a god, I can still throw questions out there to the people that do believe in the reality of a god. And I can throw questions out there that cause discussion on that reality. It's a frigging forum. It's part of what happens in a forum.

Furthermore, why is it okay for me to not believe in him if I see no evidence for him, but you have an issue with my not believing in him for any other reason? Not that your opinion really matters, but seriously, you just judged me because I freely shared my own thoughts and opinions about god and asked a question at the end.
According to your bible, you aren't supposed to do that, "Judge not, lest ye be judged". That thing. 

It is not okay for you to get all preachy to me. ESPECIALLY  when you aren't even going to listen to your god and the things he tells you not to do in the bible. Makes you come off like a hypocrite.  

And by the way, liking god or what he does or how he made the earth to be is not evidence FOR the existence of god either. Just because you like it, doesn't make it so.
I like unicorns and dragons. That doesn't make them real though.

hijacking my thread to start a different discussion that has nothing to do with the OP is not necessary.

If you want to call something into question - Start a new thread dude.

I think we're going to have to keep the questions put to this one very simple.

It wouldn't matter. Apparently he struggles with even the simplest of ones too.
