I freely admit it isn't a question of evidence. I have no more than you do and I think we both have no evidence at all. So, when faced with a proposition for which there is not conclusive evidence what do we do? We both fall back on our working theories. Yours is that the bible is authoritative. Mine is that everything has a natural cause and that there is no magic, woo, or supernatural beings.
Don't get me wrong, I find the natural world an absolutely amazing place. But it is even more magical to me precisely because all we discover is intrinsic/natural to the world of which we are a part. If I thought there was a man behind a curtain just making up stuff on a whim, it would be much less special to me.

Maybe some do but I don't worry much about justification. What really counts is fulfillment. If you're making good choices in your life you should find more of that, other circumstances being equal.

I've already conceded that I'm sure that is how it seems to you. But if you're trying to convince others you still have the whole way to go.

You know what you know. I know what I know. I think you've learned to interpret events in light of the god belief you have and I think that is fine if it pleases you. But if you're looking to convince me, no deal.

Yeah, most of you suck at this. Study Cathy. She is winning our hearts and minds in a real way. She is showing what a good person a believer can be. We (most of us) respect that. But don't worry, I'm sure you'll earn your merit badge for trying.

What does it cost you? Is our company so toxic for you? Maybe you're just frustrated because you're not achieving your mission.

You need to repent and accept his death and put your faith in Him as your Lord and Savior. This mean turning from you old life and following after Him. This is a free gift and you can not earn it. Why most people don't do it is because they don't want God they would rather lie to themselves and live as though there is not God or make up their own. God sent people to tell the truth but you are free to believe or divisible. God isn't going to force you to be with Him but He will give you every opportunity you need to believe.
Blahdy-blahdy-blah. If only I had a nickel for every time I've heard those words. If this is all you've got why bother?
