You can't just claim something is true because you or your book says so. And that's MY truth. So we will never agree.

I hope that want be the case always and I know expect someone to bring absolute proof to you but how you can demand hat is beyond me when you do not believe in absolute truth. I know not just in my heart but in my mind that God is real because He has proven to me His reality and yes it's trough things you wouldn't accept but no matter I know and that is where my truth begins and ends, with God. Thank you for a pleasant post.

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.

On an atheist forum where most people couldn't give less of a fuck about god, you've persisted for 8 years. I admire that, but I don't understand why.
I know this to be a true statement, I say it because I know God is real, it doesn't matter whether atheist like or dislike it or Christians as far as that goes, it's the truth and it needs to be said until some realizes this is true. Hope this answers your question. Please do not admire me, but the One who has kept me sane here for eight years He's the one to admire. No Christian has lasted as long as I have and few atheist, so there must be more to it than me, wouldn't you think?
GC Ok, lost all my admiration. Let's admire god instead and all be happy model little christians. Gah.

God is the reason I can stay so He is the one who deserves the admiration, strength through God is an incredible thing. Sorry if that disappoints you but it's true and I can't nor would I change it.

Via the internet you have, because I'm definitely a Christian and I'm speaking as in the Biblical kind.

Someone who believes that an all powerful being created the universe and transformed into a zombie that died on a piece of wood, and wrote a magic book called "The Holy Bible" with an old and new testament and who ignores huge portions of the new testament and almost the entire old testament qualifies as a Christian.
