Quote:@ Ace and FNM I'm not afraid of death not because it comes to all, because I'm only going to lose my physical body for a while and my spirit will be with God until the day my spirit and my new body are united.That's only a belief. In all probability, you're wrong. I'll re-ask the question. Are you afraid of closing your eyes and never waking up again?
Are you afraid of being wrong? It's not like religion hasn't been wrong a hundred times before. Also it's strangely convenient how religion offers more life after you're long dead! Why can't it offer endless life right here? It's because it can't keep it's promises. Religion cannot alter the laws of physics.
Quote: As far as salvation goes FNM there are no works that can get you there, only one's faith in Christ as savior, that's why christians can actually look forward to death when there lives are drawing to an end.
Christians delude themselves with pure wishful thinking. You are right now.
Quote:Christians do not live in a state of delusion they live in a state of hope, the state that is a positive, knowing that God will take care of them.Delusion and wishful thinking.
Quote:Ace how do you know you will have another day let lone get old, that getting old thing is just a way of distracting yourself from the fear of dying to soon.I don't, never claimed I did. Getting old and dying is just a part of life. I don't know how long I'll live, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of being dead. I just won't exist anymore.
Quote:and when those billions of years pass if your unbelief in God is wrong will seem like only a few minutes of an everlasting eternity.In all likelihood, it is you who is wrong. Pure wishful thinking I've seen from you.
There is no evidence to support any religious claim. Nothing at all.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
