Wry,
Are you trying to convince us that you are right? Honestly, why are you here? Please understand that you will likely never persuade an atheist that God exists by using the bible. So...what is your angle here?
I would swear if it wouldn't be a sin, but I can tell you the truth that I am not trying to convince anyone of anything. One of my fundamental beliefs is that every human being is able to choice whatever they want and that they are responsible for their choices. Even more, I totally agree with the second article of the Declaration of Human Rights: "Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.", and if you are curious about why I agree with all of this the reason is simple, because God behaves this way! He doesn't force anyone to love Him at all, even Jesus said that: "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.", so please, get me right on this, I am here merely for the purpose of debate end because I am curious about the atheism I once shared, its origins, its effects on the people and its consequences. I don't believe a true christian should convince anyone of anything. By trying to convince people you are sinning, because you are thinking egoistically, you just want the person next to you to have your beliefs because you consider yourself superior to the another one. If anyone is interested in asking me about my faith I will answer gladly and I will always give my opinion on everything based on my faith, but I will never force anyone to believe what I say.
