God has said everyone will understand that I exist by looking at nature, that no one will be without excuse. So making up excuses is a exercise in futility. Actually I don't believe you have an answer to my questions, do you.

So showing himself without killing people is another of those things your omnipotent God can't do?
Correct, God himself says that no human can look upon His face and live, being the Creator he should know.

God told Moses that was the only way he could view God without dying and as for the other I'm not sure what time you're referring to. Do you?
Ma Wrote:Peter said that, not God. And using Bible quotes on atheists is an exercise in futility. What weight do quotes from the Koran carry with you? They're supposed to be verbatim from God (from God to Gabriel to Mohammed), not just a man saying something in a letter later collected into a book and covered by fiat when the whole book is declared to be the word of God. What would you think of the intelligence of someone who tried to convince you with Koran quotes in advance of convincing you that they are true first?[/quote]
Don't you think for one minute that Bible verses do not have an effect on atheist, being faced with the truth of scriptures puts a responsibility on atheist to investigate, this is according to God. Also God said His word will not go out without bring results, what those results will be in the end is according to God's will.
God has proven to me that Mohammed is a false prophet and by the Bible Mohammad has proven himself a false prophet. Most important God has proven Himself to me and that leaves Mohammad in the dark.

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.
