Quote:2. I can’t control how I feel without Godwell, when you show their faith in 'science' is no different in your faith in god they loose their ablity to control themseves too.
Quote:3. Because Atheists support gays and I don’tWell, that one you need to work on. While God does not endorse sinful behavior he never said homosexuality was the unforgivable sin, and therefore that sin becomes like any other sexual sin which God has indeed made provision through atonement for. So if God has indeed forgiven you for your sin, you are equally obligated to work with any homosexual looking to repent or find God.
Quote:4. Because being an atheist is too easy and therefore boringYou could always turn to trolling. I've noticed Many simple minded atheists do this when they get board. It is kinda the flagship reason atheist join religious discussions of anykind.
Quote:5. Because my parents can’t control me without religion and I won’t be able to on my kids.Good news! You don't need religion, all you need is a belt and a strong desire to do what is best for the child.
Quote:6. Because I feel some sort of guilt not following GodI my experience with atheist's this is the reason they are so impassioned with what they don't believe.. For me, when someone says thor is real and is god, i say fine.. or if i want to talk comics I ask which version, and then discuss but in the end refuse to die on any argument concerning thor.(Meaning I don't let it get out of hand)
But the atheist seem to have to say God is not real ,God is not real... and when anyone challenges they must try and squash that person completely because they don't want to question or doubt the "god is not real" chant otherwise I think, they like you doubt themselves/feel guilt.
Quote:7. Because Atheists like abortion and I don’tThat's not a god thing that is a I don't believe in killing babies thing. You don't have to believe in God to say it is wrong to kill babies.
Quote:8. Because being an atheist makes me feel like hellThat's what the edibles are for. Pot: not only good for glaucoma, it also softens the mind enough to suppress anything that makes you uncomfortable.
Quote:9. Because I don’t want to go to hell if it existsNeither do most atheists, so they come here and polish what i call their judgement day defense strategy. This basically means they work on an argument that shows God to be unjust, or rather in contradiction to some perceived attribute, that would make him unjust/not God, and by showing God this paradox on their judgement day they will force him to let them into heaven. Or at the very least shame him from sending them to Hell.
Quote:10. Because many people are religiousWell Atheism is a religion as well. It has an orgins story, It mandates one take a position on God, it shares common core beliefs and systems of belief. It even has 'churches of sorts..' (Don't look now but your in one)
Quote:11. Because If I was an atheist I would kill anyone in my family, if they annoy me. But religion keeps me under control.Again since atheism is a religion you could easily adopt it's version of righteousness. You don't need God for that.
Quote:12. But If do kill them, then I would feel guilty and that guilt proves God.Book Chapter and Verse on that one please?
Quote:13. Because I can’t understand how all this universe just randomly came into existence from nothing, what makes sense to me is that God created it.Again, atheist have an similar issue in that they cant seem to understand how the universe exists with a creator. To create does not make sense to them. They cant seem to grasp the fundamentals of design and planning. They need to believe out of pure random chaos of an tremendous explosion comes order. So much so they spent billions and billions of dollars and built a huge supercolider, because they were so certain this fundemental principle of their faith was true, and have several years of running experiements where they are supposedly recreating this phenomiom central to their faith destroying quadtrillions upon quadtrillions of helium atoms in the process... what did they find? That their theory is 100% correct! only you need their machine to see it happen.. only you can't see it, you have to trust the machine.. Oh but, the machine can't see it either it can only show the decaying subatomic particals of the evidence that their theory is correct...
But it is correct because 'science!'
It's the same confusion/mental block they make fun of christians for having, just for the other side of the arguement. If you could simply admit yours is a faith based narrative, just like theirs is a faith based narrative as well then all of that goes away. (Unless you were a atheist, because their narrative is all about truth and all of this shows them to be steeped in faith.) But because you are christian, you can assimilate whatever the current theory is and not have your 'spiritual identity' questioned for believing or disbelieving the current popular science theory or not
Quote:14. Because the internet makes me feel like God exists.Well, that is a position many Christians do not share. (because of all the evil contained on the internet.)
Quote:15. Because If am an atheist I would be always be worried with the question, what if I am wrong and God exists then I don’t want to be on God’s Bad side.See answer #9
Work on your judgement day defense strategy. Follow the 'broad gate' the atheist's take. subjugate your mind with repetitious arguements and anti God chants, and dull what's left into submission with pot.
Quote:16. Because planet earth is boring, including sex which only lasts 5 minutesGood news! they have PE medicine for that.
Quote:17. Many people have testimony about their experience with God.None of which is meant to 'save' you, but only to inspire you to seek your own contact with God.
-or consider:
If God hasn't reached out by now maybe he does not love you.. Because you COULDN'T have it all wrong to the point God can't support you openly with your own experience, that would negitivly solidify whatever you currently believe even if that was the oppsite of what God wanted for you... No either God does not love you or he can't exist because you can't be wrong in what you believe about him.
Quote:18. Because I can’t find an reasonable argument against God’s existenceAll any honest person need do, is change their definition of reasonable and deny the faith it takes to accept their new definition, then one is forced to adopt that 'science' even fringe science is as stable as the 'science' that makes cell phones work. (you believe that? one of these talking monkey cousins told me that lol) So in essence, all anyone must do is, deny the faith one must have in 'science' then anything can become 'reasonable.'
Quote:19. Out of existence the highest form of existence is God.I need BCV on that one, and then explain how that keeps you in 'check.'
Quote:20. Because I am debating and this makes me feel God existsThe legitmacy of 'science' is also based on feeling. how one 'feels' about the explanation concerning what is or is not deemed 'proof.' otherwise 'science' would not have to work so hard to suppress unpopular theories.
Quote:21. Which God?- I Believe the Christian God since, the bible can be proven archeologically and prophetically, and morally and historically and how it improves people. Miracles prove God.No, God proves God. If you ever want an audience simply Ask, Seek and knock for Him on his terms as outlines in luke 11. For those who do not know God, your way (the things listed here) can easily be toppled with another interpretation of said evidence. and depending on who you are with and you ablity to resist peer pressure your faith will hang in the balance.
Quote:22. The Western Civilization is the most power fullest in history, which was influenced and built up by Christianity.Well, if you were atheist you'd undoubtedly be subscribing to the revisionist histories and would think the opposite. But if you can primary source your own research and do not depend on others to teach you history you can still have access to the truth.
Quote:23. I could go on, but I like to stop here because I know very well that you know God exists but pretend he doesn'tif you wish to continue I will happily go line by line with you. But I think your 20 or so examples shows quite conclusively that there is very little difference between you and the middle of the road/nothing new to say atheist.

If however you wish to 'bullet proof' your faith So the things i mention can't topple what you believe when challenged, I can help you with that.
