I can't let this slide.
This is exactly why I can't take discussion with you seriously.
1) Atheism is not a choice
Of course it is. You can choose today to go down to the local Christian bookstore and buy a Bible and read it. You can decide right now whether you want to study good theology and try to comprehend things which are a mystery to you now. You can choose to seek God and not give up until you have found him.
Or you can simply go with the idea that "What I can see is all there is."
YOUR. CHOICE.
Quote:2) Whether something is real or not has nothing to do with whether I like it or not
You really need to at least try to understand what being an atheist is, if you ever hope to convince one of anything.
Man, I wish I had a dollar (pound note? Euro?) for every time someone has used that line on me.
Quote:Consider me trying to tell you Skeletor from He-man is real, and you choose to not believe he's real because you think he's evil. Hopefully you will see that is absolutely ridiculous.
I'll be leaving you alone again, but I sincerely hope you take some time to think this over.
There wasn't much meat on the bones to chew on, Rob.
Are you leaving to go to the bookstore, then? Choose wisely.
