'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Except you're not here to debate; you want to preach. Debate consists of one party setting out an argument or series of arguments, followed by other parties setting out rebuttals and counter-arguments, thereby developing a back and forth (steady, ladies). It does not involve making unsupported assertions and then whining about hatred and persecution when someone dares challenge them. Save that for the pulpit fodder.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

So the whole forum wants to gang up on a lone Christian trying to bring light to everyone. Ok, fair enough.

No one's picking on you.
Drop the persecution complex.
If you come here to debate and discuss, fine, no problem.
If you come here to prosletyse, something we get enough of in real life, them gird your loins for hostility.

Aww, how cute.
You know what is telling? You have given your debate/discussion skills a good outing here in this thread alone, so I had a basis for stating my opinion. I have literally never responded to you before that post, and you are gleaning from that one statement that I am outclassed? By you? Poor over-inflated ego.
You know what also is telling? I gave you two questions from previous posts that you have yet to address, and here you are claiming that you have answered all [our] questions. You responded to my opinion rather than reading the meat of the post.
And what is an unconditional debate? Are you using big words to make yourself feel like you can hang with us? I think so. By the by, if you want a debate, all that is required is a formal challenge, and a topic. I will gladly throw my hat in the ring for that, as would several of my cohorts here. There is a forum set aside for formal debates.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

You simply cannot discard evidence for Lord Jesus Christ.
Lucian
Pliny the younger
Josephus
St. Ignatius of Antioch.
Tacitus
Suetonius
Aristides
Galenus
Lampridius
There's quite a list of people who believed in the Egyptian gods, the Greek gods etc. A list of people who believed is not evidence.

They are equivalent. Both myths.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

You simply don't get it, do you? Time and again, I have provided strong evidence for my statements, and all I get in return is arrogance and ignorance.
