and no

If souls are immaterial, what do they have to fear about going to hell?  I don't think you thought this through.

Immaterial.  No nerve endings.  No pain.  
Unless, as was posted in another thread, gawd actually creates a physical form for deceased unbelievers for the specific purpose of making them feel pain.  Since Jehovah/Yahweh of the OT is undeniably the worst monster ever described in human literature, that evil action would at least be true to his character.

The cross is offensive but at the same time it is good news and one type of way I love someone is to tell them about Jesus whether or not they believe or not. I apologize if I was rude in any way. I still stand in my faith in Jesus.

As long as it dosen't influence anything in your life that actually demands critical thinking, knock yourself out. If it wasn't for believers like you I'd have a lot less laughs.

I laugh out loud all the time at some of your comments
its funny how each side thinks the other is preposterous

your assuming a soul can't experience pain because there are no nerve endings, but the bible teaches that even without your flesh you can think and feel
God is the opposite of from what you are -- good

around 500 plus the apostles and paul
odds of 500 people going crazy all at once is improbable

Precisely who are these 500 witnesses again?

You do realize that the fact that a book claims that there were 500 witnesses does not make it so, yes?
does it make it false then>?

I found that this was a very inspiring testimony. Whether you believe him or not, it is worth watching!

Jesus said,
"I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14:6
"Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and death." Revelation 1:17-18

Let me know what you think about Dr. Whitaker's conversion.
I have a testimony right here at AF about why I left the Christian religion, and some people find it very inspiring. Everybody has a fucking testimony. They're a dime a dozen.


I'm just as inspired by your testimony as you are by mine.

So there.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

It may be just me, but I find this Whittaker MUCH more interesting than yours:

Oh, that makes it all better then.  You're being perfectly mature and respectful, you're giving us well-thought-out, coherent debate from useful scientific sources . . . you just hate only me.    Shy    My bad.

Wrong, troll.  You hate everyone who doesn't agree with you.  Grow up.
